After a summer of heat, sports and fireworks, let the Lanthorn be the first to say

WELCOME BACK

BY ANYA ZENTMEYER GVL EDITOR IN CHIEF

rom transfers to returning students, super seniors to incoming freshman; from the rolling hills of Allendale to the breezy Muskegon lakeshore – welcome back, Grand Valley State University. We missed you. This summer was one for the books; in fact, earlier this month, the Associated Press reported that the record temperatures made July 2012 the hottest month ever recorded in the lower 48 states, bar-none, breaking records set in the 1930’s during the Dust Bowl. The 2012 London Olympics were almost as exciting as Mr. Bean’s cameo during it’s opening ceremonies, with the United States athletes taking home 104 total medals, 46 of those being solid gold.

GVSU had it’s own Olympians in London – alumna Sarah Zelenka competed in the women’s pair rowing finals, and GVSU’s executive chef, Paul Mixa, cooked up meals for athletes from around the world in the Olympic Village. Everyone’s favorite Mexican restaurant, Los Aztecas, saw an untimely demise in June after a stove fire spread. Nobody was injured, but everything but the entry way crumbled to ashes as a result. Los Aztecas wasn’t the only thing that caught on fire in West Michigan this summer - a lack of rain, coupled with the fallen embers of bottle rockets and the like, lit enough dry patches of grass on fire and sent enough neighbors into frenzy that firework ordinances began to crop up throughout the state. The Grand Rapids City Commission, for example, passed an ordinance that went

into effect on July 1 prohibiting firework use to the 10 national holidays and the days surrounding each. Allendale has yet to pass any official ordinance, but township leaders say residents can expect similar measures to hit the ‘Dale sometime soon. Since we waved goodbye in the spring, the Lanthorn has been up all night making improvements to our print product and web page, as well as polishing off the final plans for the release our first-ever mobile app. And while you wait for our first official issue to hit stands on Aug. 27, we want to hear from you.

TRUSTEES APPROVE 3.7 % TUITION HIKE FOR 2012-2013 YEAR BY ANYA ZENTMEYER GVL MANAGING EDITOR

BY ANYA ZENTMEYER GVL EDITOR IN CHIEF

For the first time ever, Grand Valley State University has made the decision to close all regularly scheduled classes on Jan. 21, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The action follows a resolution passed by the Student Senate, as well as recommendations and supporting materials from the University Academic Senate, the Academic Policy and Standards Committee, the Senior Management Team and the Provost. “The decision to cancel classes for the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday beginning in 2013 is the result of several years of thoughtful discussion and reflection by both students and faculty,” said Jeanne Arnold, vice president of Inclusion and Equity and vice provost of academic affairs at GVSU. When she arrived at GVSU as the vice president of inclusion and equity in 2008, Arnold said she received several complaints from students who wanted to attend MLK day events but feared missing classes. In 2009, she formed a subcommittee to examine the way the university observed the holiday, including a subcommittee that explored whether or not GVSU should close for the day. The subcommittee made a recommendation to close the university for the holiday in 2011, when Arnold presented the recommendation to both the faculty in University Academic Senate and the Student Senate, who passed a resolution supporting closure later that year. Provost Gayle Davis gave the motion its final approval in June and the new closure was announced, with the addition that the decision will be revisited in a few years to determine whether the changes “prove to be compatible with the best interest of our students’ academic success,” as stated on the Inclusion and Diversity page on GVSU’s website. No additional classes will be added to make up for the cancelled classes, which Arnold said, much like Labor Day, is a standard practice when holidays are involved. “For myself I just think that it was the build up – it’s been talked about

Making strides: GVSU administrators lead a past MLK Jr. Day Silent Walk on campus.

every year, we’ve got the momentum,” said Bobby Springer, associate director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs and co-chair of the Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration executive planning committee. “…We were one of the three (universities that do not close on MLK day), and now for us to be one of the universities that will cancel classes on that day, I think it’s a step in the right direction.” Despite the good news, there are still concerns over how the cancelling of classes will affect student participation on the day of events – something administrators like Springer hope they can curb by packing MLK Day with events that students want to participate in. “We don’t want it to be a long weekend for students – we know with some students, that’s what’s going to happen and that was always a concern in the past, students not being engaged,” Springer said. “And that’s even more important now that classes are cancelled, is to make sure that we get students and faculty involved so therefore we have to really increase what we do on that Monday to make sure that people are excited and that they want to be a part of the events on campus.” The Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration Executive Planning Committee are in the process of deciding what new events to add, and how to get students involved n the planning process. “In our meeting we’re talking about doing additional things to make sure that people are on campus and engaged in some parts of multiple things that we’re doing on campus that day,” Springer said. “But we think with a great day of events to really get people involved that

students and faculty will come out will participate and it will be an opportunity where students will not have to worry about missing classes, and they can just relax and enjoy the moment.” Springer said with the passing of this decision at GVSU, all eyes will be on that Monday to see whether or not it is really making a difference. “The majority was in favor of this, but that didn’t happen over night. There was a build up for this to happen and just making sure things were in order,” Springer said. “…and that’s why it’s very important that we make this spread and do more now that people have the time to really engage, and make sure we give them something that they can participate in something they can really participate in and want to come back for more.” If you ask Springer, he’d tell you there is still work to be done in terms of racial equality -both worldwide and right here at GVSU. “We all have to continue to grow, and learn and engage in this process that’s going to make things better,” Springer said. “We’re not there yet. I think it’s very important for all of us to engage. Because we bring some dynamic interview on campus, we do some great things and I think there’s a piece for all of us in some of things we’re doing. I know I learn something every year, and I’m right in the middle of it. I just think that could happen for others as well because the more that we learn, equip ourselves with, the more we will be able to pass on to others and continue to build in that way.” editorial@lanthorn.com

he Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees approved a 3.7 percentage tuition increase for the 2012-2013 academic year. The increase, which translates to a per-semester hike of $181 and brings the average yearly tuition for a full-time, in-state student from $9,716 in 2011-2012 to $10,078. “The challenge is clear,” said President Thomas J. Haas in a statement released by GVSU’s News and Information Services following the approval. “We are increasing financial aid beyond the increase in tuition HAAS and we’re keeping our tuition rate below the state average for public universities. Our graduates are sought after by employers, and we continue to keep highquality, well-educated workers in the state.” GVSU’sincrease falls in the lower half of rate increases. Michigan Technological University tops the chart, setting a $500, 3.9 percent increase for the 2012-2013 academic year. “These rates keep GVSU tuition below the state average and below the legislative tuition cap,” said Jim Bachmeier, vice president for finance and administration. Bachmeier said the increase is largely due to the university’s lack of state funding, which was cut by 15 percent last year, and puts GVSU at the very bottom of the list. This year, GVSU is expected to receive $52.6 million in state allocations with an additional one-time state grant of $2.8 million in performance funding. Where two decades ago state allocations accounted for two-thirds of GVSU’s total revenue, this year’s $52.6 million from the state will account for only 17 percent. The net cost of average yearly tuition for students should fall around $6,200, including scholarships and institutional financial aid – aid that the university plans on boosting from $31.1 million last year to $33.6 million for students who can demonstrate financial need. The boost aims to help account for the tuition increase, which Bachmeier and other trustees recognized might create financial hardships for students this coming year.

Coming in fall 2015, Grand Valley State University will be completing construction on a new science building located on the Allendale Campus equipped with state-of-the-art laboratories, classrooms, and faculty offices. “Think of this as an addition to Padnos Hall but it’s across the street,” said Matt McLogan, vice president of university relations. “There is considerable demand right now for science, engineering, math, technical programs, and the health professions and we are limited in our capacity to meet the demand with our current buildings.” The new building, which McLogan said would be close to 155,000 square feet, would be located across from Padnos Hall on North Campus Dr. and would cost about $55 million. $30 million of the $55 million would come from the state following Governor Rick Snyder’s signing of the capital outlay bill on June 25. The bill was worth over $300 million with money being divided between 18 different projects for colleges around the state. Colleges such as the University of Michigan, Central Michigan University, Wayne State University, Delta College, and Grand Rapids Community College will join GVSU. “These investments allow higher

education in Michigan to stay on the cutting-edge,” Snyder said in a press release. “Our colleges and universities play a critical role in MIchigan’s future. I am pleased that we are able to support these worthwhile projects.” Although GVSU has not decided how it will pay the remaining $25 million, McLogan said the college has options. “It’s likely that bonds will be part of the mix to get the $25 million along with some philanthropy,” McLogan said. “We have a very good track record in attracting folks who are a generous part of our local community to help us construct facilities here. One thing we are certain of is that we will not need to raise tuition in order to come up with the $25 million.” The reason for not raising tuition has to do with the college’s overall rating with rating agency Standard and Poor’s. “When a public agency like a university, city, township, or government choses to issue bonds for debt, the rating agency, Standard and Poor’s in our case, assigns them a grade,” McLogan said. “Our grade is A which is very high. That means when we go to market we should be able to take advantage of interest rates that are somewhat lower than institutions that aren’t A.” McLogan also explained that because of how fast the school has paid off bonds in the past, the repayment cost of the bonds would be lower. Neil MacDonald is a biology pro-

fessor and department head at GVSU who said the expansion was needed to open up class times. “For biology and the other science departments, we are limited with what we can offer in terms of new sections,” MacDonald said. “We are now having to offer classes late at night and we sometimes have to open sections at odd times.” With the completion of the new building, MacDonald said it would free up space in the Padnos Hall and will also help update the technology the school has within the science program. “With the new building, we would have a lot more flexibility with when we can teach,” MacDonald said. “We will have a lot more rooms available and the new building will have more state-of-the-art technology that we can incorporate into our teaching.” McLogan said with the construction beginning in the spring or summer of 2013, there will be about 1,000 temporary construction jobs and then more faculty and staff jobs within the university following its completion in the Fall of 2015. “The last 10 years have been a lost decade,” McLogan said. “We have not been able to get additional physical space from the state and our appropriation from the state has been cut every year over the last decade. This building now symbolizes that decade is over.” associate@lanthorn.com

Zelenka and her partner Sara Hendershot narrowly missed out on a bronze medal in women’s pair rowing, finishing two-tenths of second from a bronze medal with a time of seven minutes, 30.39 seconds.

taken by Australia and the New Zealand at the finish. “It was just a battle at the last 500,” Zelenka told Stacy St. Clair of the Chicago Tribune. “We thought we were going to get a medal. We were this close and Australia had an awesome sprint and they got us.” Zelenka and Hendershot made noise in their first international race together in the qualifying heat, finishing second with the second best overall time (6:59.29) and qualifying for the finals. The fast qualifying time meant they would not have to race their way into the final, leaving more time to prepare them for the Olympic final. Zelenka didn’t begin rowing until her freshman year at GVSU when she joined the club rowing team. From there, head coach John Bancheri has been impressed with what she has been able to accomplish throughout her career. “She’s physically one of our best athletes, and she brought commitment and loyalty to the team,” he said. “She constantly set goals to get better, and sought other opportunities to learn from and use them to her advantage and she got better in the process.” For Zelenka, she began instilling a work ethic at GVSU that began building the foundation for her success. The habits she was able to learn at GVSU were carried with her all the way to London. “Because it was a club sport and it wasn’t a D1 sport that paid you to row, you had to work really hard and had to pay your own way,” Zelenka said. “All that hard work, transferred to the national team level and having to work that hard in college helped out with the elevated work that we had to do on the national team. It brought good habits.” While she may not have received a medal at these Olympic Games, GVSU rowing’s head coach John Bancheri still could not be more proud of his former rower’s performance. “From where she was seven years ago to where she is now, just a great amount of work she’s put in,” Bancheri told Cory Wilson of MLive. “So she’s not standing on the podium, but as far as I’m concerned she’s standing on top of the clouds.” bderouin@lanthorn.com

A Legacy Lives On: Bill Ryan, chairman of the 2012 Transplant Games of America, addresses athletes and their families in DeVos Performance Hall during the closing ceremonies.

lad in hues of every color, athletes and their families packed Grand Rapids’ DeVos Performance Hall for the 2012 Transplant Games of America closing ceremonies, a multi-event fiveday festival that highlights athletes who have undergone life-saving transplant surgeries and living donors, offering up the chance for these athletes to compete in a variety of different sporting events largely held on Grand Valley State University’s Allendale Campus. “This is an exciting time,” said Bill Ryan, local sports marketing executive and chairman of the 2012 Transplant Games of America, who, in conjunction with the West Michigan Sports Commission, 700 volunteers and sponsorships from Spectrum Health and Saint

Mary’s Health Care made the event possible. Though the National Kidney Foundation cited economic hardship as their reason for cancelling the event last year, Hudsonville resident and kidney transplant recipient T.J. Mackiak revived a local effort last August to reorganize the games in Grand Rapids. Nearly 1,000 athletes, 1,500 donor families, 700 volunteers also helped to make this years’ games an encouraging reality – an event that estimates a local economic impact that could inch as high at $2 million. “Wow. I don’t know what else you can say after you’ve been a part of this the last five days,” Richard R. Smith, head of sales at Novartis who helped to organize this year’s games, told attendees at the closing ceremonies. “… To the organ recipients, you are personifying what it means to have a second chance at life by your participation in these games, and it’s what motivates me and my team.”

Program starter Whitaker resigns, takes full-time job at Lindenwood By BRYCE DEROUIN GVL STAFF WRITER

The Grand Valley State University women’s hockey club team will have a different look this season as Cory Whitaker, who started the program in 2006, steps down as head coach to take a fulltime goaltenders coaching position and handle recruiting responsibilities at Lindenwood (Mo.) University. Whitaker managed to qualify three teams for the American Collegiate Hockey Association National Tournament in his tenure. In 2010 he was named Coach of the Year by the ACHA and he finished his career with a record of 64-63-7, despite a first season record of 1-20. “When we first took the job, we had a majority of the players who never skated before, or had extremely limited experience,” he said. “So the teaching of the game was completely different as to later when the season progressed. It was a challenge for us to change the game and focus on the little things that we were good at. Then we began to develop the players and as we became more successful and we were able to get some players to commit to us and find players that worked with the system we were trying to implement.” The players quickly responded to Whitaker’s coaching and his system. In the year following the 1-20 inaugural season, Whitaker led GVSU to the ACHA National Tournament. “For us to have success, we needed to have players that really wanted to be a part of Grand Valley and really wanted to be a part of building the program,” Whitaker said. “I’ve been absolutely blessed to have five years of

exactly that.” He graduated from GVSU and played goaltender for the Lakers from 1996-2001. He said his deep roots to the hockey program and the university made it a difficult decision for him to make. “Hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Whitaker said. “Not only did it involve moving my family, but when you put so much heart and soul like I did to that program, you don’t want anyone to touch it or mess it. That’s your baby. I trust (assistant coaches) Darrell (Gregorio) and Sean (McKerman) with all my heart, but it’s still something that when I leave a little piece of me is going to stay there because I can’t let it go. One of the biggest factors for his departure are the education opportunities that Lindenwood can offer him – Whitaker is looking to make the switch from Orthopedics to attain a master’s degree in sports management. “What it really came down to was I really wanted to change careers,” he said. “Putting everything down on paper and realizing that where I was now, one of the

biggest things I was not able to do is continue my education. At Lindenwood, I will be coaching full time and I will have the ability to get my master’s degree, and being an employee of the university, I will get that of no charge. That was really kind of the deciding factor. It’s something I really always wanted to do, but under my current situation with my wife and my kids, I didn’t have the time or the resources to make that happen.” Whitaker’s assistant coaches, McKerman and Gregorio, will fill in as cohead coaches for the 20122013 season. Both played hockey with Whitaker at GVSU for two seasons. “There’s no way to replace a coach like Coach Whitaker” McKerman said. “His desire to teach the game and compete at a high level is second to none. Cory was the starter of the program, and he developed the program into a national contender to where we are now. He’s the reason where the program is where it’s at today.” bderouin@lanthorn.com

In a community with no shortage of sincerity and good will, standing ovations abound for everyone from team managers and honored participants – with an undertone of unbridled positivity for their success and for the return of the bigger and better Transplant Games of America in 2014, developments about which Ryan said would be posted on the organization’s website as they happen. “As me and my team sat with Bill and Mike Guswiler that morning of the opening ceremonies, we talked about the future,” Smith said. “I can tell you that these guys and their teams are pioneers and they will take these games to new levels. I know we’ve acknowledged these guys a lot, but I want to acknowledge them for what they’ve done this week and the way they’ve done it – with character and class.” Team Utah-Idaho took home the trophy for the top-scoring team of the 2012 Trans-

plant Games, with Mississippi taking second, and team California taking third. The 2012 Female Athlete of the Year was Team Arizona’s Diane Miller, a liver transplant recipient who took home six gold, four individual and two relay medals at this year’s event. 75-year-old heart transplant recipient, Don Enhot of Team Philly, was named the top male athlete. The ceremonies came to a close with a performance by local musician Hunter Brooks, whose song titled “Hunter’s Song,” went out to all of the transplant recipients, donors and survivors in the crowd. “Thank you for coming and supporting the games,” Ryan told the crowd in his final farewell. “Thank you for believing that it can be done and thank you for always believing that in every life, great things are always possible.” editorial@lanthorn.com

Local entrepreneur named Honors College chair BY AUSTIN METZ GVL ASSOCIATE EDITOR

he Frederik Meijer Honors College at Grand Valley State University has announced it will be hiring local entrepreneur Bill Holsinger-Robinson as chair for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the university. “He is one of the most foreword thinking entrepreneurs from the business and social entrepreneurship side and is at the forefront of thinking,” said Jeff Chamberlain, director of the Honors College. “He will become the great connector for students with innovative groups in Grand Rapids that will be

productive and help the students create wealth while doing good things for the community.” The chair position will be a two-year position and while at the school, Chamberlain said Holsinger-Robinson would teach a class a semester and will also be working with smaller groups, individual students and will lead workshops at the school. He will start at the position beginning on July 2. Although now at GVSU, the path to the Grand Rapids area was somewhat unlikely for Holsinger-Robinson. Born in Pittsburg, Pa., Holsinger-Robinson then bounced from Indianapolis to Cleveland and finally to Holland, Mich. where he has been ever since.

courtesy / aboutme.com

New kid on the block: Bill Holsinger-Robinson was named as chair for Entreprenuership and Innovation at Grand Valley State University over the summer. Holsinger-Robinson will hold his title at the Frederik Meijer Honors College.

Following high school graduation from West Ottawa High School, Holsinger-Robinson attended Alma College where he received a Bachelors degree in Philosophy. After graduation, Holsinger-Robinson worked as a chef for seven years while also pursuing a masters degree in comparative religions at Western Michigan University. “I taught there for three years while I was working on my masters,” said Holsinger-Robinson, who is an avid cyclist in his free time and bikes close to 6,000 miles a year. “I had sub-specialties in Cognitive Science and Developmental Psychology and worked for a long time under the idea of the Cognitive Approach to the study of Religion.” Following his time at WMU, Holsinger-Robinson worked for Herman Miller where he helped to launch their first ecommerce store and then did numerous projects around Grand Rapids including Momentum, 5×5 night, ArtPrize, and the Ted-X Conference. “The connection between those things and ArtPrize is that they are all start-up’s,” Holsinger-Robinson said. “They are all places where someone like Rick DeVos in this case, had an idea and needed someone to help figure out how to make it real and really that has been my expertise ever since I started business.” Now that he has moved to GVSU, Holsinger-Robinson plans to use all he has learned to help with future students. “I have learned the methodically and a way of thinking over that period of time that I think I can apply about how to break down big problems or projects people are interested in,” Holsinger-Robinson said. “A lot of times I think people become overwhelmed when they take a look at a big goal and my brain naturally dissects everything and I don’t let a lot of the details get in the way.” A lot of what I’m able to bring to Grand Valley students is one, the ability to learn that methodology and also as a faculty partner to be able to help them launch these big ideas. I get excited about ideas of all kinds and getting people excited about what next steps look like and how to pursue them and work with partners in the community.” Even though there is no crystal ball telling what will happen after his two years is up, Chamberlain is sure the college will be able fill the possible void. “The position is constructed to bring in experts in the field so students can get connected like that,” Chamberlain said. “If he doesn’t want to come back after two years then we will bring someone else in. It’s intended to be a revolving door position.” While Holsinger-Robinson may be with the college for two years he, said he will have an open-door policy for all students. “They can expect that my door is always going be open and I’m always going to be excited about engaging them,” he said. “I’m going to try to figure out ways to reach out to students and I’d really hope that they take active part in reaching out to me with whatever it is they are interested in. Even if it’s just grabbing a cup of coffee and having a broad conversation about what they want to do with their future. It’s all good.” associate@lanthorn.com

Football adds trio of Division I transfers By Brady Fredericksen GVL Sports Editor

aking in transfers is nothing new to the Grand Valley State University football team. Players from Division I schools come to compete for more playing time and players from junior colleges come to get their first taste of high-level college football. For a trio of defensive players – junior defensive back Dana Dixon from Michigan State University, sophomore defensive back Shaquille Jefferson from Indiana University and senior defensive lineman George White from the University of Missouri – coming to GVSU meant a chance to play and experience something entirely new. It doesn’t stop at new playbooks or new jerseys either; White and Dixon met for the first time during the media day interviews on Wednesday. “I was here in the summer for three weeks, so I was getting to know these guys,” said Jefferson, a safety. “To really get to know (the team) we just started joking around and just having fun with each other.” The program has welcomed the transfers and the same goes for the players, who have accepted their new teammates no matter how soon or for what reason they’re at GVSU. “First of all, we accepted them as a family, as a brotherhood. Second of all, on and off the field, we’ve watched film – there’s been many film sessions,” said junior safety Erik Thompson. “Shaq is my roommate, so we take film home and we actually watch it. (Dixon and Jefferson) are grasping the concept of GV football pretty well.” As for the on-field action, the transfers are still a work in progress. All three are working to grasp the defensive scheme, but throughout the first week of fall camp, the trio has had a chance to get their feet wet. “It’s real exciting, especially during practice – I know I’m up there with the ones and twos practicing – and the majority of the playing I’ll be doing on Saturdays is going to be on the defensive side of the ball,” said Dixon, who will see time at safety and cornerback this season. “That’s a change for me now since I haven’t been playing that deep into the game since high school.” Dixon and Jefferson are expected to be contributors in a secondary that has gone from the weak link on the defense last season to a strength this season. White is expected to give interior defensive line depth.

“It’s a huge difference coming from a Big Ten school as opposed to a junior college ... These guys have been in meetings, they’ve been in systems that are somewhat complex, so most of this stuff doesn’t phase them,” said head coach Matt Mitchell. Dixon is the only transfer to come from a program with a defense-first philosophy under Mark Dantonio at Michigan State. White played under an offense-first coach in Gary Pinkel at Missouri and Jefferson comes from what he called “nothing but offense, offense, offense all the time” under Kevin Wilson at Indiana. “We always take them how we can get them around here,” Mitchell said. “You worry a little bit as a head coach about chemistry and how those things are going to sort out … this isn’t our first rodeo with transfers, our guys are competitive, if he’s a threat, raise your game.” The football part of things has been a smooth transition for the trio so far, but as the players will admit themselves, the knowing where anything but the football facilities are on campus part is still a work in progress. sports@lanthorn.com

WHAT’S A LANTHORN? It’s pretty simple, actually. Lanthorn (Lant - Horn) is old English for a latern made of horn, particularly used mid-to-late 16th century Europe. The Lanthorn’s slogan is borrowed from the slogan for ScrippsHoward newspapers, a paraphrase from Dante’s “Purgatory”: “Give light and the people will find their own way”

SAFETY FIRST Parking permits available, enforced first day of classes BY ANYA ZENTMEYER GVL Editor in chief

Parking permits for students are now available for purchase for the fall 2012 semester at Grand Valley State University. GVSU is a permit-only campus, so all residential and commuter students planning on parking their vehicles on campus must have purchased a permit by Aug. 27, the first day of classes. Pricing is per-semester, and based on credit hours – $88 for student taking six credits or less and $170 for students taking seven credits or more. Parking permits are theft-resistant, and can be difficult to remove or transfer, said Lisa Garringer, parking systems coordinator at GVSU. Garringer suggested dog-earing the corners of the permits to make for easier removal or transfer, keeping in mind that it does make theft easier and that students should then take the necessary precautions in locking all doors and windows.

Permits must be displayed correctly on the driver-side windshield. If the permit barcode cannot be scanned, the vehicle will be cited with a $20 parking fine. Students who do not need a permit for the winter semester and do not want an automatic charge to their student account must return their permit at the end of the fall semester. This years’ art for the permit was photographed by GVSU senior, Bo Anderson. All guests who are not paying to park in short-term meters must obtain a temporary past from the Department of Public Safety, and all over-night guests must park in the residential lots marked in yellow. Each student is awarded 20 days of temporary parking at no cost – students do not need to obtain the temporary passes for the guests, but are responsible for making guests aware. Permits are not enforcedFriday after 5 p.m. through Monday at 7 a.m.

Where to get your permit Students can purchase permits directly from the Department of Public Safety on the Allendale Campus or online only. However, Garringer is encouraging students to purchase their permits online to avoid long lines at the DPS building in that first week of classes. If a student does choose to purchase their permit online, Garringer said the request will be processed within 24 hours and is then moved through the U.S. Postal Service to the address on the student’s account registered with the university. In addition, the online purchase will automatically send out a confirmation e-mail containing a 30-day temporary pass for students who need to park on campus before their physical permit arrives. All information on parking and parking permits at GVSU can be found online at www.gvsu.edu/gvpd by clicking on the “parking” button. editorial@lanthorn.com

Theft protection: GVPD officers said when students register their bikes, like the one pictured above, it’s easier for them to keep track of lost or stolen bikes.

GVPD holds drawing for bike registration BY ANYA ZENTMEYER GVL Editor in chief

T GVL / Robert Mathews

he Grand Valley Police Department will be holding a drawing for a $50 gift card to Dick’s Sporting Goods in the lobby of the Department of Public Safety Building. To be eligible to win, entrants must have a current or newly registered bike with GVPD. The drawing was set in an effort to help encourage all students, faculty and staff who will be using a bike on the Allendale Campus to register their bikes at no cost with GVPD online.

Julie Carbrine, dispatch coordinator and Capt. Brandon DeHaan, assistant director of GVPD, said bike registration is one of the best ways to help the police recover lost or stolen bikes on campus. Carbine also encouraged students to always lock unattended bikes with quality locks, only park their bikes in the provided bicycle racks, take bikes home during summer breaks and winters when it goes unused, and not to lock bikes to trees, light poles, signs or buildings.

Students display their school spirit during the annual Welcome Week event "Traditions and Spirits of IU" held at Memorial Stadium.

EDITOR’S NOTE

F Caitlin Peterkin, Special Publications Editor

our years ago, I waved goodbye as my parents pulled away from my dorm after helping me move in. I remember feeling butterflies thinking about living with my roommate whom I just met, the first day of classes, making smart decisions at parties. I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to stop worrying. I wish I could have known that I would meet lifelong friends, make lifelong memories, have life-changing experiences. I wish I had someone telling me what to expect for the next four years.

RON JOHNSON Student Media Director

That is what we hope to accomplish with this publication. From where to eat to where to study, The Orienter outlines helpful information and tips we would’ve like to have known as freshmen. So read through and soak in the knowledge. But first, some parting words of wisdom: Go to class. Attend a basketball game. Don’t swing your lanyard. Keep your dorm door open. Finally, enjoy it — these next four years are what you make of it, and where you truly find yourself. Oh, and one more tip: Don’t laugh at cliches. hey exist for a reason.

LEARN THE WORDS IU FIGHT SONG “Indiana, Our Indiana” Indiana, our Indiana Indiana, we’re all for you We will fight for the cream and crimson for the glory of old IU. Never daunted, we cannot faulter In the battle, we’re tried and true. Indiana, our Indiana, Indiana, we’re all for you! Lyrics by Russell P. Harker Music from “The Viking March” by Karl L. King

Campus landmarks add to Hoosier history BY NICOLE MONTELLA | nmontell@indiana.edu

DUNN FAMILY CEMETERIES Where Adjacent to Beck Chapel and in front of Foster Residence Center The legend When IU bought the land from the Dunn family there were three stipulations. Their family plots could not be moved, which is why there are two cemeteries on campus. There are no live burials anymore, and most of the plots are recognizable IU names. The second stipulation was that for every tree IU cut down to construct a building, one had to be planted in its place. Herman B Wells later said for every tree cut down, two trees must be replanted. The final stipulation was that IU could not move the Dunn family’s “Sweetheart Tree,” which currently stands inside the chemistry building.

“All IU landmarks are terriﬁc because they are our most direct connection to the Hoosiers that have come before us. They remind us that we are a part of something bigger than ourselves.” Ryan Short, 2011 IU grad

THE ROSE WELL HOUSE

BRYAN HOUSE

Where In Old Crescent, near Wylie and Owen halls and Dunn Woods

Where Next to Ballantine Hall, behind Delta Gamma

The legend Built in 1908, the Rose Well House was originally part of the old College Building. Legend states that an IU female is not an official co-ed until she is kissed under the house for the twelve strokes of midnight. Another myth is that a couple will be together forever if they kiss under the twelve strokes of midnight on Valentine’s Day.

The legend The Bryan House is typically the home of IU’s president. President Michael McRobbie and his wife, Laurie Burns McRobbie, use the house as an office. A house cat, Hermie, is known to be a protector of the grounds. The Bryan House also hosts a reception for incoming freshmen and outgoing seniors to talk to the administration about their IU life. The landscape around the house reflects the theme of the president at the time. President McRobbie’s theme is sustainability.

HERMAN B WELLS STATUE

SHOWALTER FOUNTAIN

Where Sitting on a bench on the west side of campus, near the Sample Gates

Where In the Fine Arts Plaza, in front of the IU Auditorium and between the Lilly Library and School of Fine Arts

The legend Herman B Wells was one of the greatest presidents in IU’s history. At freshmen orientation, parents are told if they shake Wells’ outstretched hand, their student will graduate in four years. Because the sculptor was a University of Minnesota grad, under the brim of Wells’ hat is inscribed “Go Gophers.”

The legend The fountain depicts the Birth of Venus. On the night of IU’s last NCAA championship in 1987, students came to celebrate at Showalter Fountain and stole all of the fish that surround her. Four of the original fish were found, and although another one was recast in spring 2011, the fifth original fish continues to elude the IU administration.

IDS FILE PHOTO

The sun sets above Showalter fountain. The statue is a representation of the birth of the Greek goddess Venus.

BECK CHAPEL Where Across from Ballantine Hall and the Chemistry Building The legend Completed in 1956, Beck Chapel is IU’s nondenominational chapel on campus. It holds copies of the Bible, Quran and Torah, and is open 24/7 during finals week. Many IU sweethearts marry inside, but the wait list is one year, according to Allison Williams, reservationist at the chapel. STEPHEN CRANE | IDS

Beck Chapel sits between Ballantine Hall and the Indiana Memorial Union. The non-denominational chapel is a popular place for IU alumni weddings.

GET LOST BY HANNAH WALTZ hanwaltz@indiana.edu

The Indiana Memorial Union can seem like a labyrinth, but there’s much more mystery and history riddled within its walls than its confusing passageways. The next time you’re standing in line at Starbucks, consider that about 50 years ago, you would have been ordering from the Biddle Hotel’s front desk. Or the next time you’re by the “Fire of Hospitality” in the South Lounge, think about how it’s been burning since 1939. The Union is full of secrets, and Thomas Simmons, IMU associate director, is one of its keepers. These are just a few of them. 1. KP WILLIAMS DINING ROOM Named for the distinguished mathematics professor and founder of IU’s formal ROTC program, the Kenneth Powers Williams Dining Room is nestled within the Union’s third floor. Because it is so tiny and compact, the room’s antique table seats only 10 guests.

Orienter 2012

The IMU houses more than cozy chairs

2. FEDERAL ROOM Hidden behind a nondescript, closed door is the Federal Room, an ornate colonial dining room and parlor. Instead of wallpaper, the parlor is lined with woodblock prints of French origin that depict early scenes of American history. On the wall hangs the “Unfinished Portrait.” It is a painting of Mary Burnet, who is known for her contributions to the art movement in Indiana during the early 1900’s, Simmons said. She received an honorary master’s degree from IU in 1933. 3. THE BURIED RIFLE RANGE Directly beneath Dunn Meadow Café is the now dormant rifle range of the IMU, complete with a gun vault and targets. It was formerly used by students, especially those in the ROTC. 4. ALUMNI HALL DRESSING ROOMS In the 1930s and ‘40s, this home to IU’s theatrical performances. The stage in Alumni Hall is just the front door to the maze of outdated

Union Board

6. THE STUDENT ACTIVITIES TOWER, EIGHTH FLOOR The eighth floor of the Student Activities Tower, the summit of the Union only accessible via stairs, is home to the Fletchall Room and the Bryan Room. The Union Board used to conduct meetings in the Fletchall Room in the 1930s, but they can now be rented out to any student organization willing to make the trek.

dressing rooms and neglected stairwells. 5. MEMORIAL ROOM The room outside Starbucks, which many students surely mistake for a chapel, hosts the two oldest artifacts in the building: two stained glass windows, one of which dates back to 1920 and was donated from Hoosier novelist Booth Tarkington’s home. At the heart of the Memorial Room is the Golden Book that records the names of the men and women of IU who served in the wars of the Republic.

DORM DINING As a freshman with a meal plan, you’ve got tons of options — some are just down the hall. Still, the closest RPS food court only holds its allure for so long. So start off the year in an adventurous fashion. Break out of your neighborhood’s eateries and start wandering onto other turf. Here’s a sneak peek at all the goodies RPS dining halls have to offer. NORTHWEST NEIGHBORHOOD Gresham Food Court at Foster Open 7:00 a.m. to10 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to10 p.m. weekends By far the main attraction of dining in the northwest neighborhood, the Gresham Food Court has more than 10 food counters ready for dinein or carryout. You’ll love Taco John’s Potato Oles and a smoothie from Cream and Crimson Creations. Hoosier Den at Foster Open 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily A late-night bakery, pizza joint and sausage grill all rolled into one, The Hoosier Den is a smaller, relaxed atmosphere made to grab a slice and maybe even a game of pool. Crimson Creamery at Foster Open 1 to11 p.m. Monday

through Friday and 5 to11 p.m. Saturday and Sunday Yet another late-night favorite where students can order a hot breakfast, burger or pizza, this is a great place to chill after a study group finishes its meeting or to take a mini-break of your own and chat with friends. Hoosier Cafe & Store at McNutt Open 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday Like little mini-markets, these places have tons of non-perishable foods as well as bread, milk and ice cream. You’ll also find cough syrup, tissues or a stick of deodorant to replace the one you lost. There’s also a cafe that serves up hot subs or sandwiches, soup and salad —an excellent lunch spot. Or, breakfast is

served with a bagel or muffin and cup of Starbucks coffee made just for you by the barista. Edmondson Dining Room at Collins Open for brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and dinner 5 to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday. There is also a Friday brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and a Sunday brunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. People say the Edmondson Dining Room looks like IU’s version of Hogwarts. And while we see some resemblance between Collins’ gnome mascot and Professor Dumbledore, you should probably just come see for yourself. Collins serves two buffet-style meals per day and is perfect for the days when all you want is something homecooked. Vegetarians and vegans will also love eating here for its many dishes made without meat or animal products. Deli at Collins Open 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday If you live in Collins, the deli is your one-stop breakfast joint. If you’re around for lunch, you’ll love

the sandwiches made to order. But maybe the best secret of the Collins deli: the lunchtime grill. The kitchen staff will cook you up a burger, grilled cheese or fries on order.

Cool Beans at Eigenmann Open 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday Let’s face it, college students rely on caffeine to make it through the week. This small coffee shop brews Starbucks coffee, and the barista there will make you whatever fancy espresso drink you choose.

CENTRAL NEIGHBORHOOD Wright Food Court Open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. weekends As the biggest food court on campus, the Wright Food Court can get pretty busy, especially at peak meal times, so plan accordingly. You’ll love the Flamingo Grille’s spicy chicken sandwich or Pacific Rim’s stir fry, made to order. Hoosier Cafe & Store at Wright Open 10 a.m.-midnight weekdays ,noon - midnight weekends Each RPS convenience store varies slightly, so if you can’t find something in one place, try another. Also, if they have them, eat a pizza pretzel. You won’t regret it.

SOUTHEAST NEIGHBORHOOD Landes Dining Room at Read Open for lunch 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, dinner 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday The traditional dining room at Read is a lot like the home-cooked experience at Collins, but with a different menu. Read doesn’t emphasize vegetarian or vegan dishes quite as much, either. Carnivores, rejoice. El Bistro at Read Open 8:30 a.m. to midnight weekdays, 9 a.m. to midnight weekends Where else could you get a waffle topped with ice cream and a freshly wrapped burrito during the same meal? The food is made to order and is definitely worth the wait —especially for the burritos. Eat your heart out, Chipotle. SEE DINING, PAGE 11

COMMON SENSE BY ALYSSA GOLDMAN goldman6@indiana.edu

IU does a lot to keep its students safe, but students must do their part as well. The residence halls at IU have many safety features designated to help freshmen. After 12 a.m., the entrances to the residence halls are locked, and students can only enter the building with a key card. Some people wish to enter the building during late hours but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a key card with them. Students might want to be helpful, but they should not allow those late-comers in, Bill Shipton said, director of student residential programs and services and judicial officer for the campus judicial system. The key-card system is very high-tech. Swiping a key-card can determine when a student has entered the residence hall or room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This may seem Big Brother-ish,â&#x20AC;? Shipton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it really helps to keep track of missing students.â&#x20AC;? Cameras in and around the residence halls serve the same purpose, Shipton said. Resident assistants and police officers go on rounds to ensure that students are being safe late at night and during the early mornings. Many students think rounds are meant to get them in trouble, but it is really to benefit them, Shipton said. Students, however, will get in trouble if they are found participating in illicit activities. The campus is well lit around the residence halls and parking lot, Shipton said. If students are having a bad experience while walking around campus â&#x20AC;&#x201D; during the day or at night â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they can get the IU Police Department to come their way without even calling them. Emergency stations around campus contact the IUPD and flash a blue light when a student pushes the button, Shipton said. Students can also make use of the safety escort, a service meant to provide students with an alternative to walking alone at night. The service is free and can transport a student anywhere on campus and from campus to an off-campus location. Students simply must provide their 10-digit student ID number to the dispatcher and show their student ID when entering the vehicle. The number is 812-855-SAFE.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE THAT RED PARTY CUP We wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk you out of drinking on a Friday night. No one else will, either. College is about making decisions for yourself. We just want you to be safe. Here are a few things you should know if you do choose to attend that first big kegger. You probably think it would never happen to you, but drinking can be dangerous. According to 2007 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there were 23,199 alcohol induced deaths, and some have occurred on this campus. People who are new

to drinking typically have low tolerances for alcohol, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overdo it. When you drink too much and pass out, your gag reflexes (which prevent choking) and your breathing can be suppressed. People who have drank enough to pass out are at risk of choking to death on their own vomit or suffering from alcohol poisoning, which results in emergency room visits or sometimes, death. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know that if you see a friend who is showing signs or symptoms of alcohol poisoning, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to call 911. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in trouble for saving someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. THE RISK Another issue that can come with college parties is sexual assault. As many as one in four college women experience unwanted sexual intercourse in the United States, and many of these incidents happen at or after parties. The danger comes from a difference in expectations between men and women, said Elizabeth Armstrong, an

still the best security at IU

IU assistant sociology professor, in a 2006 press release. The majority of sexual assaults involve alcohol. Here are some tips to help you out.

CAMPUS BUS Tip #1

Âť Watch for people who pressure you to drink or seem overly enthusiastic about getting you drunk.

Âť Be careful with mixed punches or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jungle Juice.â&#x20AC;? Their contents and alcohol volume are often a mystery. Âť Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave your drink unattended. Âť Never leave a friend alone when she or he has had too much to drink. Âť Make arrangements with friends to stick together and agree on when to intervene if things look like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting out of hand. Âť Stay in a public place, like the dance floor or seating area, and stay out of private rooms. Âť Know where you are and how to get home. Always at least have cash for a cab and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on someone you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know to give you a ride. Âť Trust your instincts. If you think someone is a creep, that person is most likely a creep. DID YOU KNOW... ...that the IU Health Center has a Sexual Assault Crisis Service (SACS)? This service offers crisis intervention, individual and group counseling and educational programming. It is available for any member of the IU community for free. The service has a 24-hour telephone line, which will put you in touch with a specially trained counselor who can answer your questions and further assist you. The phone number is 812-855-8900. If you are in immediate danger, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate to call 911.

How to Safely Ride the Bus IU Campus Bus Service provides public transportation for the IU Bloomington campus.

For your SAFETY: s 7AIT AT DESIGNATED BUS STOPS ONLY "USES MAY ONLY board or alight passengers at designated stops. s "OARD AT THE &2/.4 DOOR ONLY s -OVE TO THE REAR OF THE BUS AFTER BOARDING SO THAT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE MAY BOARD THE BUS s $O NOT STAND FORWARD OF THE WHITE LINE IN THE FRONT OF THE BUS 4HIS IS A FEDERAL SAFETY REGULATION TO ALLOW THE bus driver a clear ďŹ eld of vision. s 0ULL THE STOP REQUEST CORD TO SIGNAL THE DRIVER YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXIT AT THE NEXT STOP s %XIT AT THE 2%!2 DOOR 4HIS WILL EXPEDITE THE BOARDING of passengers. s $O NOT CROSS IN FRONT OF THE BUS AFTER EXITING 7AIT UNTIL THE BUS HAS PULLED AWAY FROM THE BUS STOP AND YOU have a clear ďŹ eld of vision in both directions before crossing the street.

The legacy of Herman B Wells controversial research into human sexuality drew criticism from big name leaders locally and internationally. As president and chancellor, Wells kept in mind the future growth of the University and realized that because the institution would far outlive him, he ought to provide for its future. The board of trustees criticized Wells when he bought the land upon which Assembly Hall now rests, Gros Louis said. “That’s the kind of vision he had,” Gros Louis said, “And it’s why IU’s campus is so centralized.” The first building Wells had constructed as president was the IU Auditorium. “He said he built it because he wanted to tell students, especially students from rural Indiana, that the world was available to them,” Gros Louis said. That same spirit of global education was what led Wells to find instructors who could come from other countries and teach at IU. “Indiana University built the SEE WELLS, PAGE 17

IU ARCHIVES

Before Herman B Wells took charge of IU, the University was just a small midwestern college with 11,000 students. By the time he died in 2000, it had become a world-renowned institution with more than 90,000 students on eight campuses. “He put Indiana University on the map,” James Capshew, associate professor of history and philosophy of science and author of a Wells biography, said. “Not just in the Big Ten, but nationally and internationally.” Wells served as the 11th president of IU from 1938 to 1962 and as chancellor from 1962 until he passed away in 2000. He came here as a student in 1921 and fell in love with the campus, Capshew said. “When he became president, he was determined to offer students a similar experience to what he had,” Capshew said. Wells is known for making some of the most substantial changes to the University that helped make it what it is today.

“He created, I think, a very extraordinary culture in Bloomington,” Chancellor Ken Gros Louis, a man who knew Wells, said. “The most recently hired custodian was as important to him as the most distinguished professor.” There are many stories about Wells’ successful desegregation efforts in Bloomington and on campus, and they were all done in a similar, nontraditional fashion. “He didn’t rustle feathers,” Capshew said. “He found a way to remove barriers.” During the early part of his presidency, a restaurant originally located on Indiana Avenue, The Gables, did not serve black students. Wells called the owner of the restaurant and asked him to serve blacks. The owner refused. “Wells said, ‘I understand, but I hope you will understand if I make The Gables off-limits to all students,’” Gros Louis said. “The owner started serving black students.” Wells was also the driving force behind IU recruiting the first black basketball player in the Big Ten. He stood up against powerful figures, such as the governor, in defense of Alfred Kinsey, whose

Study abroad

IU students travel the world for academic credit BY LAUREN MCCONNELL ljmcconn@indiana.edu

When former IU student David Kerner was watching hippopotamuses on a camping safari in Botswana, he didn’t know he would be woken up at 4 a.m. by one outside his tent. Kerner went on this camping safari and other trips while studying abroad in Cape Town, South Africa. The IU Office of Overseas Study facilitates more than 250 administered, co-sponsored or autonomous programs on all eight IU campuses to more than 2,500 students and gives more than $100,000 in need- and merit-based scholarships annually. With so many options, the Office of Overseas Study provides guidance for interested students with a staff in Bloomington for advising, student services, financial and budget. While IU offers 250 overseas study programs in 17 languages in 52 countries, fluency is not required, according to the IU Overseas Study website.

Kerner graduated in 2011 with a degree in psychology and was in Cape Town for the spring 2010 semester. “The best thing about IU study abroad programs is there are so many destinations,” he said. For students considering studying abroad, Kerner gives this advice: “Get your major out of the way quickly so you can take electives abroad. Making friends with teachers always helps for those letters of recommendation,” he said. Because he didn’t have many major requirements to fulfill, Kerner said he was able to take classes he wanted to while abroad, like a course in African politics. He also had advice for when students are abroad. “Try everything,” he said. “Take risks.” The “First Step” section at the IU Overseas Study website provides information on choosing a program, financial aid, alternative overseas experience and profiles of students who have studied abroad. IU programs and non-IU programs are both offered, but prospective students need to keep

IU programs offer direct IU credit, grades count in grade-point average and most financial aid is applicable. However, students should check that credits earned in non-IU programs are transferrable and that financial aid can be applied.

Kinsey Institute brings radical sex research to IU BY LAUREN MCCONNELL ljmcconn@indiana.edu

The Erotic Art Show at the Kinsey Institute offers a variety of art, including photography, sculptures and paintings. The show can be viewed at the Kinsey Institute in Morrison Hall 2-4 P.M. Monday through Friday.

How men make decisions about sexual partners, how mood affects sexual arousal in women and what prevents couples from using condoms are only some of the topics on sex being researched at IU’s ground-breaking Kinsey Institute. The Institute has been a source of research and information about issues in sex, gender and reproduction since 1947. The Institute is named for Dr. Alfred Kinsey. Kinsey gathered histories of sexual behavior in thousands of interviews, which culminated in his book “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male,” published in 1948. This was followed by his “Sexual Behavior in the Human Female” in 1953. The volume “surprised everyone when it became a bestseller,” according to the Kinsey website. The Kinsey Institute offers a library, art collections, events, an active research program and the Kinsey Confidential Website. For example, Kinsey has 250 original prints by Wilhelm von

Reservations are required for public tours and can be made by calling 812-855-7686 or emailing kinsey@ indiana.edu. Have questions about birth control, sexual dysfunction, condoms, orgasm or sexual assault?

NAVIGATING through IU BY JACKSON CALDWELL jaccaldw@indiana.edu

There are a lot of great things about our campus, but it is understandable how some students have trouble navigating from home to class, around campus and back home. For those not yet acquainted with their way around Bloomington, the following are a few tips you may not know that could help you cut down on your travel time and energy. BUS SERVICE The University tells us that the buses are free, but the cost is really already included in tuition. You are paying for the bus, so it is worthwhile to use it. For students living near the stadium, the A and X buses can be a huge help. The X bus goes directly from the stadium to the Union, and the A goes down Fee Lane, around campus and back to the stadium. If you live on North Jordan, the B bus can help you out, going all the way from the Jordan extension around campus. For students living near Union Street or on the south side of campus, the D and E buses are convenient. Bloomington Transit also has buses to get around the city. Students frequently use the 6 and 9 routes, with 9 running out to College Mall, where students can fulfill any shopping needs. A full list of campus bus services are listed at www.iubus.indiana.edu/campus_bus/index.html, and city bus services are at www. bloomingtontransit.com

DRIVING If you own a car, you won’t have much luck getting from class to class with it. Most freshmen will only be able to get an E permit, which cost $105.60 last year. The E permit allows for parking in E spots, mostly located at the stadium. So, if you do decide to bring a car, plan to park far away or deal with the dreaded yellow ticket underneath your windshield. For more information on parking on campus, visit www.parking.indiana.edu/parking_operations/default.aspx. WALKING This is the main mode of transportation for a lot of students. It is not bad, especially if you know all the places to cut through. If you are coming from North Fee, cutting through the Arboretum helps. If you are at Eigenmann, walk through the apartments to reach Seventh Street. As you familiarize yourself more with campus, you will find shortcuts of your own. But, just walking fast with some headphones on can be a breeze. BIKING If walking is not your thing and you do not have a car, go for a bike. They are cheap, but you must buy a one-time $10.00 bike permit. One permit is valid for as long as you own that bike. The Bloomington Community Bike Project is a great source for bikes, some costing as little as $40 to $50. Volunteering is also an option for those who wish to hone their bike repair skills, and it can earn you a bike for free.

» WELLS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 12 strongest foreign language program of any university in the nation,” Capshew said. “That really got started with Wells after World War II.” But beyond providing for its future, Wells genuinely cared about the University’s students, Capshew said. Wells developed a reputation for remembering people’s names, even if they had only met once, and he frequently took strolls around campus to meet students. In his old age, when he was not able to do that anymore, his assistants helped him. “He really led through that empathy, that fellow feeling that he had for students and faculty,” Capshew said.

Today, Wells is still remembered on campus. The main library is named in his honor, and a bronze statue of him sits on a bench in the Old Crescent looking over Dunn Woods, an area he banned the University from developing. “He’s the one that made what I think is a very special culture,” Gros Louis said. “The time will come when nobody living will remember him, but he’ll still be remembered because of what he did for this University.”

IU CINEMA 1213 E. 7th St. www.cinema.indiana.edu/ The IU Cinema opened in January 2011 with state-of-the-art technology, surround sound, custom decor and renovated panels of Thomas Hart Benton’s Indiana Murals. Though it has only been open for a little over one year, it has become a premiere destination for film lovers in Bloomington and from around the area, with more than 150 films screened each semester, including new arthouse releases, film classics and foreign films. The cinema has also become IU’s center for the scholarly study of film. According to its website, the cinema is “the university’s first research facility where audiences can collectively revisit the cinematic works archived within Bloomington’s vast film print collections.” MUSICAL ARTS CENTER 101 N.

Make memories with your own Bloomington bucket list GO TO A BASKETBALL GAME AT ASSEMBLY HALL IU fans believe that Hoosier basketball is the best, no matter the team’s record. And as an IU student, it’s an obligatory move to also believe this. So, go to a game and marvel at the power of IU fans in Assembly Hall. Plus, games can include big head posters, entertaining cheers and indoor (yes, indoor) fireworks.

VISIT THE IU ART MUSEUM AND LILLY LIBRARY That building with the red circular sculpture and multicolored lights at night is the IU Art Museum. Check it out at night when the lights are beaming into the night sky. Then during the day, go back to see the floors of artwork. Follow that with a short walk to the Fine Arts Plaza to also see the student work at the School of Fine Arts gallery and the rare books and treasures at the Lilly Library.

DISCOVER ANOTHER SPORT Speaking of sports, IU has many free sporting events, so go to a baseball game, swim meet or tennis match. Or for athletes (and non-athletes) who aren’t Division I, join a club sport or intramural team. There are various levels, from serious competition to just having fun, along with a slew of sports to try, with everything from cornhole to dodgeball to water polo.

LIVE AT THE INDIANA MEMORIAL UNION Seemingly large and confusing at first, the Indiana Memorial Union can become a second home. Eat lunch at the fancy-looking Tudor Room (with a student discount, of course). Print homework in the computer lab. Sleep between classes in one of the lounges. And best of all, use the union to pull the classic college all-nighter to study or write a paper.

LOOK UP TO SOMEONE

TRAVEL ABROAD Although a little counter-intuitive to a bucket list for IU, it’s a great way to not only appreciate what is possible in Bloomington, but also to explore or find a passion as well as bring back a new perspective. EXPLORE BLOOMINGTON As a freshman, it will be really easy to stay on campus where food can be bought with meal points, your friends are down the hall and there is plenty of stuff to do. But Bloomington as a town is amazing too. Start the exploration small and venture through the Sample Gates to Kirkwood Avenue, which is technically off-campus, but close. For food, try an ethnic restaurant on Fourth Street. There’s cuisine from all around the world for you to expand your taste buds. Then move even farther outward, and explore your new home and all it has to offer. It’s only four years, and it will be over before you know it.

With more than 40,000 students plus faculty and staff, finding someone on campus to look up to won’t take long. Maybe it will be a favorite professor or a student leader in one of IU’s 650+ clubs and organizations or maybe someone totally different. Regardless, college includes building connections, and finding someone to help through the stress of classes and celebrate the victories is crucial.

VISIT CULTURE CENTERS There are several culture centers on campus, and they are places to meet and connect with people on campus who share similar traditions and viewpoints. The centers also serve as resources for information about different cultures and a home for various student groups related to the center. Check out these centers to learn about culture from peers and venture outside the classroom.

Traditions allow students to get involved in IU legacy BY LAUREN REARICK lrearick@indiana.edu

Welcome to IU! Traditions are an important aspect of any school’s pride and legacy. With that in mind, make sure to embrace every IU tradition. Here at IU, you will find yourself face-to-face with a wide array of situations and opportunities unique to Hoosiers. IU traditions help to bring together people of all races, cultures and personalities, as well as open doors for shy people to emerge from their shell and stand confidently alongside their fellow Hoosiers. Here are a few traditions we celebrate at IU. Whether it’s a football game or a Straight No Chaser (IU’s men’s a capella group) concert, Hoosiers always like to celebrate school pride. Football games are a great way to cheer on the Hoosiers as well as a perfectly good excuse to paint your face and fist bump a stranger. Homecoming is not just a time for football: It also brings a celebratory parade and the “Yell Like Hell” spirit competition. Not only is Homecoming a tremendous event, but it is also a legacy that Indiana University helped to popularize, as IU was one of the first universities in the nation to adopt the celebration. So come to the festivities, warm up those vocals and don your best red shirt. One of the great traditions celebrated at IU sporting events is the singing of the fight song. First performed in 1912, “Indiana, Our Indiana” is the fight song played at every IU football and basketball game. Basketball games are another opportunity for those sport enthusiasts out there (or any IU enthusiast) to really get excited about IU. Even those who are new to IU recognize the power of the school’s traditions. In fact, one of our 2011 basketball recruits made his decision to come to IU, in part, for the great traditions. “It’s a great school with a lot of tradition,” Louisville, Ky., native and guard Remy Abell said. “Coach Crean, he’s a future Hall of Fame coach. I’m trying to bring the tradition back. Putting on that jersey, those candy-striped pants, it’s more than playing.

This is the recipe for one of the most thrilling weekends you’ll spend here. IU traditions are a big part of school pride, and the events that bring Hoosiers together are very memorable for most. The proof is in the audience of any sporting event, concert, festival, performance or musical you attend. If you take a look around, make sure to note that along with your fellow students, there are plenty of proud alumni clapping and chanting along with you. That being said: Sing, chant, clap and dance for your school at every opportunity.

It’s tradition.”

The “World’s Greatest College Weekend”

LITTLE 500 BY KENNY BRUNS | kenbruns@indiana.edu

Most people would assume the Tour De France is the biggest bike race in the world. Those people have never been to IU. Now going into its 63rd year, the Little 500 race is the biggest college bike race in the world. Thousands of visitors pour into Bloomington to be a part of the weekend. The inspiration came in 1950 when Howdy Wilcox watched four students race bikes around a dormitory. Now, the Little 500 race has become the largest intramural event at IU. The race is put on by the IU Student Foundation, and the proceeds are used to grant scholarships to working students. The women’s race takes place the Friday of Little 500 weekend and has up to 33 teams, who race 100 laps around the cinder track. The men’s race takes place on Saturday and also consists of 33

teams which are determined by qualifying time trials. The first team to complete 200 laps around the quarter-mile cinder track wins. The teams typically represent fraternities, sororities, residence halls and independent groups. The race achieved such popularity throughout the years that celebrities such as Barack Obama, David Letterman and Lance Armstrong have been known to attend. The race also inspired the Oscar-winning movie “Breaking Away.” The film prompted a group of riders to break from their fraternity and name themselves the Cutters. The most recent Cutters team won the race for the fifth straight year in 2011, a feat never before accomplished in the race’s history. The race, however, is not the only fun event by any means. Festivities kick off early in

the week as fraternities sponsor concerts that have featured artists such as Lil Wayne and Wiz Khalifa. The IU Auditorium usually plays host to a concert, too. Flight of the Concords played to close out 2009’s Little 500 weekend. A plethora of outside events also take place, like pudding wrestling competitions. Students should be warned, though, classes do still continue to follow their regular schedule. The bike race is not the only race during the week either. The Little 50 is the runner’s equivalent to the Little 500 race. The Little 50 consists of 25 teams of four running in a 50-lap relay race and typically takes place Thursday of Little 500 week. One thing is for sure, Little 500 is an experience IU students never forget. So mark your calendars because this is one weekend you will not want to miss.

ibby Lienhoop was born to be in a sorority. Her parents met while they were in the greek system at IU, and her brother, aunt and grandparents also spent their college days in IU fraternities and sororities. As a freshman, Libby wanted the same thing. Libby was one of about 1,500 women to go through sorority recruitment in 2010. Rush began in December with 19 Party and ended in January with Bid Day. IU has one of the most competitive rush processes in the country. This is Libby’s story.

“You hear stigmas and stereotypes of all the houses, and you try to erase them before you go in,” Libby said. “It makes it a lot better if you don’t think about it.” FIRST INVITE, DAY TWO The women begin yelling, clapping and banging on the doors.

DECADE ON THE BRINK How IU slipped from a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball powerhouse to one of the worst teams in the college game â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and back BY SEAN MORRISON sm72@indiana.edu

This wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t how it was supposed to happen. Indiana bills itself as a basketball state, and nowhere is that more apparent than in Bloomington, home of the Hoosiers. Five NCAA titles. Eight Final Four appearances. Twenty Big Ten Conference championships. The Cream and Crimson had won at least seven games in every season since 1915, during the era of 13-game seasons. In 2008, one of the most turbulent moments in IU basketball history sent the Hoosiers crawling back into that cellar again. This time, they were 6-25 by the end of the season instead of 6-7. IU coach Tom Crean and his 2011-12 squad were tasked with getting Indiana back to where it once was. Its collapse from that pedestal, however, took much longer than the three years heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d spent in Bloomington. THE END OF AN ERA The straw that broke Bob Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back fell on Sept. 8, 2000. The then-IU basketball coach learned about allegations of assault, spearheaded by alleged victim Kent Harvey. In May 2000, Knight had been put under a â&#x20AC;&#x153;zero-toleranceâ&#x20AC;? policy by the University and its president at the time, Myles Brand. Two days later, at 3:15 p.m., the University administration announced its decision to fire the winningest coach in its history, the man who earned three of the Hoosiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; five national championships and 11 Big Ten titles. Rioters swarmed throughout campus and marched on the Bryan House, the on-campus home of IUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president, following the announcement. They would leave and return later, bringing with them anger and, according to reports by journalists from the time, violence. The groups burned effigies of Brand and Harvey, tore through the Showalter Fountain and battled with riot squads. Then Knight, known by fans as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The General,â&#x20AC;? returned. He told the crowds this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the way to show their support and to disperse. Days later, he gave a speech sponsored by the Indiana Daily Student, telling his side of the story and giving them one final message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the student body, the energy, the enthusiasm that the student body has had for basketball â&#x20AC;&#x201D; please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let that change,â&#x20AC;? Knight told the gathering of fans that often drowned out his words in applause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to do something to remember me by, do that. Continue the same energy, the same enthusiasm that the students before you have given to basketball.â&#x20AC;? THE SHADOW OF KNIGHT Mike Davis, an assistant under Knight, took over after Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29 years at the helm. IU administrators named Davis the interim coach for the team until they agreed upon a proper course of action.

On March 22, 2001, after a 21-13 season and postseason berth, Davis had the â&#x20AC;&#x153;interimâ&#x20AC;? dropped from his title and became the Hoosiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach. He led IU to a Final Four appearance in 2002 but was criticized throughout his time at Indiana and admitted to feeling unappreciated by fans and the administration. After just six seasons, Davis could take no more. He resigned Feb. 17, 2006, a season his team finished at 19-12. The shadow of Knight, along with the expectations, was too much. Kelvin Sampson coached at a well-known Oklahoma program and was considered one of the elite coaches and recruiters in the nation. His resume, in terms of accomplishments, was rock solid. However, Sampson brought something other than his abilities, championship mentality and Final Four experience on March 29, 2006. He brought a smudge of 550 impermissible phone calls to recruits, considered an NCAA rules â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the violation. Then-IU student body, Athletics Directhe energy, the tor Rick Greenspan shrugged off enthusiasm the infractions. that the student In early 2008, the body has had NCAA found Sampson and IU Athlet- for basketball ics guilty of â&#x20AC;&#x153;major â&#x20AC;&#x201D; please donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let rules violationsâ&#x20AC;? that change.â&#x20AC;? involving the impermissible calls to Bobby Knight, former IU coach recruits. On Feb. 22, 2008, he resigned. Sampsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only blow to the team. IU lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to Arkansas after boasting a top-25 ranking all season long. The team selfregulated and forfeited two scholarships in an effort to curb NCAA penalties. Greenspan, too, resigned after bringing in IUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next head coach â&#x20AC;&#x201D; former Marquette dynamo Tom Crean. The Hoosiers lost commitments from several highly regarded prospects and many of their own players along the way. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S INDIANAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Despite it all, Crean came. He left Marquette, a Final Four contender and a school where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d found much success, and came to a soon-to-be bottom-feeder. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it for the money or championships or fame. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indiana,â&#x20AC;? he said at his first press conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Indiana. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the absolute pinnacle, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s to be the head basketball coach of Indiana University.â&#x20AC;? Crean said he never doubted his decision, and now, with the pieces in place for the first time in his tenure, the future seems more â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalâ&#x20AC;? for his self-proclaimed basketball school.

B-TOWN BY MARC FISHMAN meﬁshma@indiana.edu

In a college town with one of the top music schools in the nation, there is bound to be local music talent. Throw in a variety of bars and live music venues, and almost every day of the week offers an opportunity to catch a listen. We talked to the owners of three all-ages live music venues around

town to see if there are any unifying characteristics of the bands and performers making music in town. Is Bloomington a bluegrass town? Is it an indie rock town? Maybe a hip-hop town? It turns out it’s more of an everything town. But from what we gathered, each venue manages to offer its own assortment of “everything.”

Get your music ﬁx at these all-ages venues RACHAEL’S CAFE 300 E. Third St. Type of music Owner Rachael Jones said the restaurant has had every genre of music except country. Jones says people looking to soak up music at Rachael’s can expect to hear punk, folk, Irish and hip-hop, as well as plenty of local independent acts. The Bloomington scene “I feel blessed with how many places there are to go,” Jones says. She also says the Jacobs School of Music has a positive influence on the talent and musical diversity of many of the bands that play in Bloomington — especially when the bands are made up of students. The Rachael’s Café scene “We THE BISHOP 123 S. Walnut St.

MAX’S PLACE 109 W. Seventh St. Type of music “Basically anything that’s off the beaten path,” says owner Travers Marks. “We don’t really go for big cover bands. We like classic rock, but we don’t usually book it. We don’t like top 40, but bluegrass, reggae, blues, jazz, any weird combination thereof, singer-songwriters, that’s Max’s Place.” The Bloomington scene: “It’s a breeding ground,” Marks says. “It’s a place where you are not likely to

make much money playing, but you’re going to be able to find the people you need to start the band you always dreamed of.” The Max’s Place scene Marks says two simple words sum up the restaurant’s niche within the Bloomington music scene: Hirsute (meaning shaggy) and liberal. Before you go Don’t eat before seeing a band at Max’s Place. Grab a table with your friends, share a pizza and stay a while.

Type of music: “We’re not too genre-specific,” says owner Stephen Westrich. “(We have had) everything from rock bands, indie rock bands, alt-country, hip-hop. But if we lean towards one thing it’s an indie rock environment, I guess.” The Bloomington scene: “I guess I would say that we’re lucky to have an abnormally productive music scene,” Westrich says. “I grew up in a town the same size of Bloomington, and there was nothing going on. It’s unusual the amount of quality coming out of here.”

are so many different things,” Jones says. “We are a coffee shop in the daytime and a music venue at night. We also are not limited to people 21 and over. Any age can come. In fact, we had a women’s music night recently, and there was a girl playing that was younger than 10.” Before you go While Rachael’s Cafe can fill the place to capacity at night with its live music and DJ events, don’t forget that it’s also a great place to study or relax during the day. The place is adorned with bizarre sculptures, stimulating artwork and loaded bookshelves for customers to enjoy. And even though the tables and chairs are removed for dance parties, the couches are always there if you need to take a breather. The Bishop scene: “In terms of places that regularly do live music, we only do original music,” Westrich says. “We definitely embrace local bands like nobody else does and we really solely concentrate on original music. We’ve turned down things we know would bring us 200 people, but we don’t do them. There’s an audience for those kinds of things, but we brand ourselves as something different.”

THE BLUEBIRD NIGHTCLUB 216 N. Walnut St. Type of music “A huge variety,” says owner Dave Kubiak. “That’s probably the most unique thing about it.” The Bloomington scene “Because of the music school, there is a uniqueness to play different types of music because the students are a little more cultured and have a broader scope of what to play,” Kubiak says. “You get a lot of students down here who are musically inclined.” The Bluebird scene “It’s really a hybrid of different things.” Kubiak says. “Most clubs try to stick to one type of music, and largely because of the size of the Bluebird, it’s a more unique place in that we have to keep it entertaining.”

Before you go: People over the age of 21 can go directly to the bar area after checking in at the door, but anyone younger will be directed to the stage area to hang out until the band gets on.

The Bluebird Nightclub, located at 216 N. Walnut, sees many major national acts from a variety of music genres. In 2010 the Bluebird featured performances by Yeasayer, Bone Thugs n' Harmony and Ingrid Michaelson, just to name a few. Besides well known artists, the nightclub also features shows from lesser known and local acts. Tribute bands often make apperances at the 'bird.

Recreational sports help to give students an outlet BY JUSTIN SHOCKEY jnshocke@indiana.edu

Students can be seen running and participating in sports in between classes throughout the school year. Campus Recreational Sports provides a unique opportunity for students to maintain or start their fitness routines while in school. Steve Heeter, service director for Member Services, said they are committed to helping students and staff. “Our first priority is serving the Indiana University-Bloomington students, followed by faculty and staff,” Heeter said in an email. Kim Gray, service director for Marketing and Sponsorship, said students hold a very important role in the deciding stages of programs and activities with the Recreational Sports organization. “We offer a variety of

programming and facility spaces that meet (student) needs because we ask students up front what they want,” Gray said in an email. “The students have a voice through the Student Recreational Sports Association.” In addition to intramural sports offered (flag football, basketball, indoor soccer, kickball, softball, volleyball, whiffleball and tennis), Campus Recreational Sports also offers other various programs. “Throughout the school year we still offer a full complement of RS programs, including group exercise, yoga/Pilates, cycle fit, circuit strength, informal sports, personal training, lap swimming, swimming sessions and some club sports,” Kathy Bayless, director of Campus Recreational Sports, said in an email. According to Chris Arvin, program director for Fitness and Wellness, participating in healthy

activities should be a high priority year round. Heeter said the students have already paid for their service membership if they are enrolled in classes. Chris Geary, director of Programming and Research, said students are better off sticking to their normal workout schedules. “If they want to come in and get a quick workout in with minimal interruptions, then mornings and early afternoons are still best,” Geary said in an email. “If they are coming to work out and they want to meet people or get in a pickup game, then late afternoon and evenings are still best.” Arvin said students should use these unique opportunities to start a workout schedule that will last into the fall and winter. This could possibly start a full-time healthy lifestyle for students while at Indiana, he said.

I loved all those girls.” PREFERENCE ROUND Women in white dresses descend the staircase, holding onto the railing decorated with white garland. The women begin to hum in unison as potential new members are introduced one by one. Later, the Fireside Chat is performed. Each sister holds a note card or slip of paper in hand and reads it to a specific potential new member, highlighting parts of a conversation they’ve had or aspects of the woman’s personality that they like.

» BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 31 ridicule seem a bit dulled as the Hoosiers approach prominence again. Still, the team must work to remove the blemish put on it by the events of the past 12 seasons. Regardless of the challenge, Crean said he loved his job and every aspect of it, and that it was a joy to him to be a part of the tradition at Indiana. The third-year Hoosier coach grew up knowing what IU basketball was in the 1970s and ’80s, only to watch what it became two decades later. 5.6 SECONDS This wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. IU fans expected vast improvement in the 201112 season. They expected a tournament berth of some kind — the NIT, maybe even the NCAA tournament if the Hoosiers got lucky. “The Movement,” a moniker coined for Crean’s stellar recruiting class set to hit Bloomington in 2012, was supposed to be the turning point. But somehow, some

“It makes the potential new member feel really special and recognized,” Adamo said. * * * Libby is ready. After four rankings, seven days, 19 chapters, 44 parties and countless nerves, she knows where she belongs. “They always say you’ll have a feeling and you’ll know ... and I was like, ‘That’s not going to happen to me,’” Libby said. “I’ve never been into the whole fate thing, but I kind of feel like that now.” Even though Libby said she has a good feeling, there’s no sure thing in sorority recruitment.

way, that momentous pivot came a year early. On Dec. 10, 2011, Indiana proved it was on its way back for 39 minutes and 54.4 seconds against then-undefeated and thenNo. 1 Kentucky. The Wildcats were one of the favorites to win the NCAA Title at year’s end. They were more athletic, more talented, better in nearly every conceivable way. And yet, the Hoosiers were only down two points with 5.6 seconds to go in the game. The crowd at Assembly Hall — 17,472 fans whose voices combined to be louder than a jet engine at times — was as boisterous and excited as many had seen in decades, let alone Crean’s past three seasons. It was not a perfect game. The Hoosiers scratched. They clawed. They battled. And in the dying seconds, IU had the ball and it had a shot. It was a whisper from the past. The days of Knight, hanging National Championship banners, the time when saying “It’s Indiana” was more than a call back to tradition. After 39 minutes and 54.4 seconds of

build-up, the next 5.6 seconds turned that whisper into a resounding roar. Senior guard Verdell Jones, often questioned for his decision-making by fans, made the most veteran play of his career on a brilliant drive-and-kick pass. Junior forward Christian Watford, criticized early in the season by some for his sloppy play coming off of an injury, fired off a 3-pointer Crean could only describe as “perfect” after the game. The ball spun through the air, cutting through a decade of defeat, humiliation and squalor. Watford held his shooting hand to the sky, leaving it hanging because he already knew. The shot sank. Assembly Hall rose to its feet. Within a minute, Branch McCracken Court was no longer visible from above. The years of longing for Knight, aching for redemption and pleading for a miracle were over. After more than a decade on the brink of irrelevance, Indiana basketball was back. *SOURCE: The 2011-2012 Arbutus Yearbook

A MAJOR ALL YOUR OWN Individualized Major Program offers students chance to study specialties, earn customized degrees BY CLAIRE ARONSON cearonso@indiana.edu

Animated movies by Pixar and Disney have now taken a new meaning for sophomore Sydni Gregg. Gregg created her animation major through IU’s Individualized Major Program, IMP. Her focus is on 2-D animation. “As a kid, you don’t realize that it is an art form, and it’s something I still love,” she said. “I am a huge geek for Pixar and Disney and all of those traditional big-name

studios, so I just figured that this is what I wanted to do.” Because animation draws from both the Department of Telecommunications and the School of Fine Arts, Gregg has two sponsors instead of the required one. “You find your sponsors and with their help, you start planning your curriculum because you actually have to plan out four years,” she said. After presenting her major proposal to a committee, Gregg received approval. “It all built up and then it was, ‘Thank goodness, they

accepted me,’” she said. While IU doesn’t have specific animation classes, digital art classes and telecommunications production classes are offered and teach necessary programs, Gregg said. “There is a lot of self-exploration and self-teaching,” she said. “The stuff I learn in those classes, I can really apply directly.” Gregg wasn’t always planning on studying animation

How NOT to look new to campus BY JUSTIN SHOCKEY jnshocke@indiana.edu

As new students are filtering through campus this year, it can be certain that among all of the hustle and bustle they will notice a sea of red lanyards worn around the necks of students typically carrying maps of campus. These students, as upperclassmen will most likely point out, are freshmen. After unpacking their cars, meeting up with new roommates and saying goodbye to their crying mothers, freshmen make their way into IU campus activities, classes and culture. This can be a hectic time in the life of a freshman. Most have never cooked their own meals, lived on their own or found themselves alone in a crowd of more than 30,000 peers.

Every upperclassman at IU dealt with these issues at some point in their college experience. Some provide much needed advice for the incoming freshmen looking to start their new Hoosier lives. SOAK IT IN You should try new activities, and don’t keep a closed mind. College is an opportunity for a new start. You can be anyone you want to be, and you can do different things than you did in high school. Junior Jason Garcia said when he came to IU, he was amazed at the activities the school offered. “There is a lot of stuff here that usually wouldn’t have been offered to you in high school,” Garcia said. “I would definitely tell freshmen never to keep a closed SEE FRESHMAN, PAGE 49

3 SMILE Flaunting his glistening Colgate Max White smile, the freshman naively assumes he is in for the ride of his life — independence at last. He has no notion of the atrocities associated with midterms and finals and has yet to experience the devastating reality of how irrelevant his opinions are to his 100-level professors.

4 CIGARETTE The signature trademark of the cigarette — also known as the cig, ciggy or square to the freshman — is pretty much the only way this freshman has an “in” to talk to people at the smoking table.

phones, complete with massive bass fold and swivel mechanisms, give off an air that the freshman is into new-age electronic dubstep or even a little blues by The Originator (Bo Diddley), when he’s actually listening to the hit single “Baby” from Justin Bieber’s first album, “My World.”

Textbook shopping 101 BY CAITLIN RYAN ryancj@indiana.edu

Campus bookstores maintain an important role at universities across the nation. Even with its popularity, buying at a bookstore tends to be the most expensive option. Although there are a variety of alternatives, for some students, buying books the traditional way is the way to go. “I generally buy my books from the IU Bookstore,” senior Eric Burns said. “I like being able to give them my schedule and they can tell me everything I need. It’s a little more expensive, but I like the convenience.” However, with the help of the Internet, students now have the option to rent or buy books online, and can even purchase them in the form of e-books. SHOULD I RENT? Renting textbooks is a fairly recent trend among university students as a

TO PACK OR NOT TO PACK? 5 THINGS TO BE SURE TO PACK

Advice on what to bring and what to leave with your parents 5

1. DRY ERASE BOARD FOR YOUR DOOR Your board is a fun place for friends to leave notes to come home to. “My birthday was the second day of Welcome Week and everyone on my floor wrote messages on my door,” senior Hillary Simon said. “It was really special. ”

2. FLASH DRIVE It might be tempting to rely on emailing yourself, but carrying around this extra storage makes you better safe than sorry. “It’s such a hassle to email yourself all your papers,” senior Ryan Bays said. “Having a flash drive was an easy way to keep track of your saved work.”

5 THINGS TO LEAVE AT HOME

3. STAPLER AND THREE-HOLE PUNCH These two items are helpful tools in keeping organized and avoiding lost paperwork. “Stapling your papers goes a long way,” senior Nate Troscinski said. “It keeps you organized, and a lot of professors won’t take work if it’s not stapled.”

4. RAIN BOOTS

5. A NICE DRESS-UP OUTFIT

Rubber rain boots come in a wide variety of styles, patterns and colors. They are valuable additions to a college student who depends on their feet as a primary mode of transportation. “The weather changes on a dime here,” senior Alex Schenk said. “I was glad I had cute and comfortable rain boots to save the day.”

Maybe you’ll apply for a part time job or have an interview for a scholarship. In either case, having a nice outfit on hand definitely wouldn’t hurt. “I had to go to Target for a pair of black pants and dress shoes the night before a speech,” senior Ben Backes said. “I could have spent that time practicing if I had brought it with me in the beginning.”

1. PRINTER

“I brought all my favorite hoodies and T-shirts and ended up wearing the same two or three. You’ll get a bunch of free T-shirts at events too,” senior Brooke Nianick said.

Scoring a free printer with your MacBook is a great deal, but a huge perk of living in the residence halls is line-free access at the printing stations conveniently located in your building or quad. “A bulky printer will take up room in your room,” senior Hannah Waltz said. “Plus, you can take advantage of the free 650 page print allowance you get each semester.”

3 1

2. YOUR ENTIRE DVD COLLECTION Though preserving your childhood by re-watching “The Little Mermaid” and “The Lion King” is always a great time, create new favorites by exploring the free DVD and CD rentals available in the residence halls. “I loved being able to rent all five seasons of Dexter,” senior Cassi Kirk said. 3. SWEATSHIRT AND T-SHIRT OVERLOAD

Even though the dorm rooms have quite a bit of storage space, excess clothes can be a hassle.

4. HIGH SCHOOL LETTERMAN’S JACKET Though it may be tempting to show off what a stud you were in high school, college is a chance to start over and leave the high school gear at home. “Joining the IU family gives you an chance to start fresh and wear cream and crimson,” senior Sarah Kusisto said. 5. THINGS YOU’RE NOT LIKELY TO USE Carefully consider which items are necessary and which could become dust collectors. “I thought bringing my telescope down was a good idea but quickly figured out I was wrong,” senior Jory Kleemann said. “It took up way too much floor space, and recreationally learning astronomy was one of the first things I sacrificed.”

IU provides students with opportunities to prepare for courses BY CAITLIN RYAN ryancj@indiana.edu

Between the time freshmen attend orientation and the time they begin classes in the fall, is there anything that incoming students can do to prepare for college academics and the courses that await them? INTENSIVE FRESHMAN SEMINARS Intensive Freshman Seminars (IFS) are a three-week program that takes place in August. Through this program, students have the opportunity to take a college course and become acquainted with the campus before

thousands of other new students move to Bloomington. “Anything students can do to start setting boundaries before the semester will be helpful for maintaining some discipline and a reasonable lifestyle when on campus,” said Dr. Lisa Thomassen, who teaches an IFS course. OTHER RESOURCES Students may go to their resident assistant (RA), professors and advisers for help with the transition to college academics. “To be successful academically, people need to be in charge of what they are doing and know how to do it,” University Division adviser Joyce Miller said. “Don’t be afraid to ask ques-

tions. When you’re new, it’s important to ask enough questions to figure out what it is that you need to do.” JUST RELAX “Frankly, I don’t think there is any way for incoming students to prepare for the remarkable adventure that awaits them at Indiana University,” telecommunications professor Michael McGregor said. “My recommendations would be something like work hard, have fun, spend as much time with your friends in high school as you can.”

WHAT IS IMP? IMP is the Individualized Major Program. It allows students to pull from the major classes of multiple departments to create a custom course of study and a personalized major. Students have faculty and department sponsors, as well as IMP advisers to guide them, but it ultimately allows you to control your education. HOW DO I GET INVOLVED? Many students apply during their sophomore and junior years, according to the program’s website, but you may apply as

Tips on how to have the best class schedule...ever. BY LINDSEY ERDODY lerdody@indiana.edu

Listening, listening and more listening. During day one of orientation, incoming freshmen hear from Residential Program Services, the Office of the Bursar and University Division, to name a few. But day two is where it gets tricky. Students have a onehour advising appointment and then are responsible for creating a schedule from the list of classes complied during this meeting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the students to make their schedule a successful one, but University Division advisers are there to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;step upâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; moment,â&#x20AC;? Joyce Miller, an assistant director of advising for UD, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to see kids get off to a good start.â&#x20AC;? Miller shared several ways students can schedule for their classes with ease. PREPARE FOR ADVISING APPOINTMENTS Miller said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very

helpful if students have an idea about what they are interested in and what they want to study. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This needs to be a twoway conversation,â&#x20AC;? she said. TAKE THE PLACEMENT TESTS AND THE RESULTS SERIOUSLY The tests are created by departments at IU and are good indicators about how well a student will do in a class, Miller said. WAITLISTING A CLASS IS AN OPTION Miller said students should keep this in mind but warns that this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee a spot in the class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you waitlist, you have to have an alternative plan in mind and in place,â&#x20AC;? she said. DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T SKIM THE READING DURING ORIENTATION Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for students to read the screens carefully because of the tiny differences between course numbers, Miller said.

BE FLEXIBLE WHEN SCHEDULING Miller said students need to realize they are taking classes full-time and their schedule might not turn out exactly how they wanted it. SCHEDULES ARENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T SET IN STONE Students can make changes to their schedule if something isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t working or interesting to them. Miller said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t encourage it, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an option if necessary. WALK YOUR SCHEDULE Make sure there are no surprises your first week by walking through your schedule before classes start, Miller said. This way, students will realize if 15 minutes is enough time in between classes or not. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Work that out before classes begin, so you know what you need to do.â&#x20AC;?

However, coming to college provides you with the opportunity to meet new people and make new memories. Do what you can to meet new people.

However, according to Burroughs, it can all seem easier by just blending in with the rest of the college population. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just blend in.

1 Get a job. It’s a resume booster as well as a steady source of funds.

2 Check out psychology experiments and the Kinsey Institute for a chance to be a participant. Most pay a small sum.

3 Eat for free. Many meeings and programs offer free food at first, and you could find something you’re interested in.

4 Check online and in the paper for coupons and specials at local restaurants.

5 Ignore impulse shopping. Wait a day or more to make a big purchase.

6 Use cash. Having something physical to hold in your hand allows you to easily keep track of how much money you are spending.

The college student’s most elusive item

BY KEVIN KNIGHT kevknigh@indiana.edu

In the famous words of Frank Hubbard, “The safe way to double your money is to fold it over once and put it in your pocket.” That might be one way to ensure that you are saving money, but these words might be lost on incoming freshman who have never had to care for their own personal finances. So how can a poor college student make it work? We have some tips to help you manage. BUDGET Budgets are one of the most effective ways to plan how and where you are spending your money. Coming up with a plan and dividing your money among the things that you want to spend on is essential. “Budgeting and self-control [are the best ways to keep yourself from overspending],” junior Luke Majors said. “Like knowing that you don’t always need that nice new shirt because you have to pay for books. Personally, I keep a set amount in my saving account in case of emergencies and never touch it.” One suggestion is to split up your money using an envelope system. This means you could have five envelopes and put a category for spending on each — such as food, clothes, fun, books and savings. SAVE ON CLOTHES Those expensive jeans or that new dress can be a drain on your bank account, but there are ways to get around this without breaking the bank. “I shop at Plato’s closet and Goodwill,” senior Sarah Weaver said. “It’s cheap, and they usually have a lot of good stuff.” Clothes that people don’t want or can’t have anymore usually end up at these two stores. Using a little creativity, you can use these clothes to put together that outfit that will get you noticed.

EAT CHEAP All those new restaurants can be tempting. Once you get sick of RPS, you’ll probably want a taste of Bloomington and want to go out to eat. Buying your own groceries can help satisfy this craving and save money. “Going out gets really expensive really fast, and there are tons of really easy and cheap foods,” senior Joshua Jaffe said. Buying in bulk helps tremendously as well. Each residence hall has a kitchen, so grab a couple of friends and put together a big meal and plan for leftovers. “Buying your own groceries is expensive, but you get a lot more for your money out of it, including lunches for the next day,” sophomore Rita Cripe said. “If you do go out though, try to save at least a little food, so you can have part of another meal or another meal with it. Eating out is really expensive and can add up quickly.” SEE THE FREE ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment and shows can really make a dent in your savings too, but going to events, shows and programs doesn’t have to hit you where it hurts. “For entertainment costs, cut them by using free stuff IU provides, such as a gym, plenty of space for sports, free shows, etc,” Jaffe said. IU and Bloomington provide many free or discounted student events. There are programs sponsored by the IU Health center, RPS and various other campus organizations. Even the IU Auditorium’s usher corps program is a good idea. If you serve for a few hours as an usher, you can see most shows for free. The IMU also has free movies, comedy and improv shows.

RABI ABONOUR | IDS

FREE THINGS WE WISH WE KNEW ABOUT SHOWS While the IU Auditorium headliners aren’t free, plenty of student and community shows are. To see a list of free events, visit the Auditorium’s website. If you just have to see a headliner or traveling Broadway act, volunteer as an usher and see it for free. COMEDY Student comedy troupes - Full Frontal Comedy, Awkward Silence Comedy, HoosOnFirst Improv, All Sorts of Trouble for the Boy in the Bubble and University tWits perform improv and sketches at the IMU. ART Opening receptions for exhibits in the School of Fine Arts are free to the public and include finger foods like cheese and crackers. DVDS The IU libraries house approximately 20,500 DVDs. To search for titles and find out where the item is located, visit iucat. iu.edu. MOVIES Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, the IMU shows a recently released film. Showtimes begin at 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. unless otherwise noted. HEALTH The Health Center offers a free session witht a dietician, free sessions to kick the smoking habit and best of all, free condoms.

YOUR RESUME Get a little help with the job search and resume writing at the Career Development Center. Visit the website for tips and examples or drop in between 12:30 and 4 p.m. at 625 N. Jordan Ave. SOFTWARE Visit the UITS website to download free versions of popular and usually pricey software such as Adobe Creative Suite and Microsoft Office. NEWS All student publications are offered free on campus, as well as the New York Times and USA Today. You can also stop by the Kelley School of Business for a free copy of the Wall Street Journal. WORKOUTS If you’re bored of the treadmill, check out free Zumba and kickboxing sessions, just a couple of the many free workout classes offered at the SRSC. CONVENIENCE You paid for it with your student fees, but we think of the bus system and print quota, 650 pages for undergraduates and 1,000 for graduates, as free luxuries. MUSIC The Jacobs School of Music presents about 1,100 performances each year, most of which are free. This is a great way to impress a date at no cost. *SOURCE: INside Magazine , a quarterly IU Student Media Publication

Welcome to IU from your Dean of Students

Dr. Harold “Pete” Goldsmith came to IU as the Dean of Students in 2009. In this position, he is responsible for the Division of Student Affairs, which is dedicated to enriching students’ educational experiences. Dr. Goldsmith received both his Bachelor of Arts degree and a Doctorate in Higher Education Administration from IU. As a Hoosier alumnus, here is his advice on excelling at IU.

Dear New Student, As you begin at IU, you will be challenged as never before. College is not a spectator sport. The more effort you put into it, the richer and more meaningful your education will be. There are many people here to help you; there are many opportunities to get involved. Choose to become involved with those people who can add to your education and become involved in those things that will take you toward your goals. Do not be afraid to ask questions or to ask for help. Most of all, enjoy the IU experience. — Pete Goldsmith, Dean of Students

ADD THESE ITEMS TO YOUR DECORATING LIST

We talked to IU students who have lived in the residence halls to hear their suggestions on decorating. Here’s their advice.

GIRLS DEVYN BRADY, junior Major Interior design Tip Picture frames “The greatest décor I had was pictures of my family and friends since the first year is the hardest.” Where to find it Brady suggests going to Bed Bath & Beyond for the best deals and to Urban Outfitters or IKEA for unique styles. NAOMI GEMMELL, senior Major Music Tip Lights “Lighting is key in the dorms because otherwise it’s depressing with the florescent lights all winter” Where to find it Gemmell suggests Target or anywhere cheap. AMANDA CORMAN, senior Major Elementary education Tip Bulletin board “A bulletin board for pictures and reminders.” Where to find it Target. She also suggests making your own by putting material over some kind of backing.

GUYS KELLEN MURPHY, senior Major Exercise science Tip Be original “Everyone usually goes for the Bob Marley theme, but I like to go more original and just find the most interesting yet confusing design poster.” Where to find it Murphy suggests checking Greetings on Kirkwood for ideas. COREY GROVE, junior Major Marketing Tips Cool lighting “I would say the best thing to get is lights. Black lights, strobes, whatever. And get some posters, specifically ones that would look sick in their lighting.” Where to find it Spencer’s DAVE HARTMAN, senior Major Business economic consulting and public policy Tip A TV “At least one of the roommates should either bring a TV from home or spend some money on one. I dropped a lot on a nice TV.” Where to find it Target or Walmart — somewhere with good deals.

Student study spots From libraries to coffee shops, IU’s campus offers many places for you to establish your personal work space

BY ZINA KUMOK | zkumok@indiana.edu

From the bustling, noisy Starbucks in the Indiana Memorial Union to a quiet nook in the Herman B Wells Library, student study spots are as diverse as the majors the University offers. With more than 30,000 undergraduates, the University as countless options for people searching for the perfect place to finish their schoolwork.

» STUDY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 56 “I like to study at Starbucks because it’s not too quiet and it’s not too loud,” Green said. “In my (dorm) room I get too distracted, and the library is too quiet. It seems kind of tense in the library. But in Starbucks, there are people moving around and talking, but they are not necessarily people you know who you’re going to talk to.” Unlike some of her classmates, Green said she enjoys background noise and wasn’t easily distracted by the sounds of coffee being made, the chatter of the students and music. She said the atmosphere relaxed her and allowed her to concentrate on her work without being anxious or stressed. “Some people need absolute silence to study, but I don’t really need that,” Green said.

CAMPUS LIBRARIES Just as Green needed noise to loosen her up as she did her homework, 2010 graduate Robert Barnell preferred the solitary space and quiet ambiance of libraries, choosing to study mainly in the Wells and School of Public and Environmental Affairs libraries. Barnell stopped in several times a day between and

after classes, valuing convenience and absolute silence when he was working, he said. “Between classes, I’ll go to whatever library is nearest,” Barnell said. “A lot of people seem to not go (to the SPEA library), so it’s not super crowded. I like how they have windows, and it’s an interesting building.” While Barnell enjoyed the SPEA library, he would switch locations if he was working on a larger assignment. “I go to SPEA just for day-to-day things,” Barnell said. “When I have a really big paper, I’ll go to Wells to the second floor of the West Tower.” DORM ROOMS While some students prefer to leave the distracting space of their own dorm rooms, other students favor the convenience and companionship of studying with friends. 2011 graduate Leah Myhre said she dislikes areas with constant noise, such as the Starbucks in the IMU, and the quiet atmosphere of the library. Rating convenience as a main priority, she said she would stay in her dorm to study in the company of friends. “If it’s something small that has to be completed for the next day and doesn’t require a lot of focused

Orienter 2012

attention, then I like to study with friends,” Myhre said. “I think it creates a fun, energetic atmosphere that keeps me awake to do my homework.” However, if she had an upcoming paper or project that required more consideration than her daily work, then Myhre said she would leave her dorm to visit the library. “If I have to work on a paper or do a huge project, then I like to do it alone or maybe with one other person who’s doing the same work in the library so I’m more focused and concentrating,” she said. OTHER STUDY SPOTS AROUND CAMPUS The Arboretum This is the perfect spot when the weather is nice to study solo or work on homework with a group of friends. The South Lounge Located next to the Starbucks in the IMU, this lounge, nicknamed “The Quiet Room,” offers a quiet atmosphere that’s not the library. Residence hall lounges Studying in your residence hall lounge gets you out of your dorm room while maintaining the convenience of studying where you live.

Upperclassmen give tips on living with a roommate LEFT Nicole Jakubowicz takes a picture of her roommate at Teter Quad.

BY KEVIN KNIGHT kevknigh@indiana.edu

Whenever senior Sarah Leavesley would walk into her room, her roommate would be working out in the middle of the floor. The whole place smelled like body odor. It might sound like a horror story, but roommates and the interesting stories that they provide us are part of the college experience. Though most stories are funny and can be laughed at later, they can also be hard to handle. Don’t worry, though. Most situations can be handled with a little adjustment, and we’ve got the tips below. One important tip is to set guidelines and boundaries from the beginning. This sets the

tone early and gives you something to fall back on if things go awry. It can also help ease differences. Senior Michelle Ross has these kinds of issues with her roommate. “She lived 3 hours away and didn’t go home much,” Ross said. “When I would come back to school after going home for the weekend, I would find all of my stuff messed with. One big difference and another breaking point for our roommate issues was the religious, alcohol and smoking differences.” At the residence halls, you are required to fill out a roommate agreement form that takes care of this step, but this form must be taken seriously or it won’t help you when conflict arises. It’s also important to keep your

emotions in check and remain level-headed. Seeking revenge, like junior Chris Parr, can only escalate the problem. “My freshman roommate would have his computer play music all night,” Parr said. “I asked him several times if it could be turned off or turned down because I couldn’t sleep with it on. He said he would put it on a timer, but he never did, so I deleted his sound drive. The best part is that he thought his brother hacked onto his computer from home and messed with the settings.” Like in any good relationship, communication is key. Keep in mind that it is a two-way street. You have to listen when they talk, and they need to listen when you talk. If things do get really bad, however, use your resources. Junior

Kate Olsson had a roommate involved with IUPD. “My roommate ... missed a payment or wasn’t paying for housing or something like that, but RPS representatives and even IUPD would stop during the day asking where she was,” she said. Each floor has a resident assistant and each center has a manager. If things get bad, request a meeting with your RA. He or she can sit in on a discussion with your roommate and help mediate. This is part of the job description. Still, most roommate issues aren’t as serious as you think and can even be funny. Right before she moved out, senior Alicia Smith and her roommate had everything cleaned. “The only thing that was left in

the room was all my stuff packed in a pile on the floor,” she said. “My roommate comes in with a 12 pack of ginger ale and was wondering what to do with it. One by one, the cans come rolling out of her arms and onto the floor, where they each begin to explode one by one. Everything got splattered by ginger ale — ceiling, walls, mirror, all my stuff, us, literally everything.” They had to start the cleaning process all over again. Most RAs say roommate issues can be solved by one thing: respect. “Big issues among roommates that cause conflict are shared spaces like fridges and such, different cultures and being sensitive to that, and sleep times and noise levels,” Luke Majors, a McNutt RA, said. “These are some common stories that I hear.”

STUDENTS SAY “Most of the books I need are novels, so if I can find them online for free using the Gutenberg Project or something, then I don’t buy them,” senior Betsy Stout said. “If I can’t, then I buy them in person at T.I.S. or a regular bookstore so that I can have them in my hand right away.” SHOULD I GET E-BOOKS?

Bicycles are a common form of transportation for the IU community. Bicycles operated or parked on the IU Bloomington Campus must be registered with Parking Operations and display a registration permit. For more information please contact parking.indiana.edu.

PROS Having an eTextbook on your computer saves some space and weight in your backpack. CONS Looking at a computer all the time can be a bad habit, especially for your eyes. STUDENTS SAY “I always use eTextbooks,” graduate student Dhairya Gala said. “I download the PDF and I can take it anywhere with me. The only con that I see is that sometimes when you want to refer to another section in the book, you have to scroll up and down instead of flipping the pages, which can be irritating.”

Depression, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, sexual issues, substance abuse and problems of academic functioning are some of the concerns students often address through counseling. CAPS is located on the fourth floor of the health center. The IU Health Center is located at 600 N. Jordan Ave. Hours of operation are Monday and Thursday 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Health Center is also open on some select Saturdays during the fall and spring semesters from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. An after-hours telephone service is also available Monday through Friday 5-11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 8 a.m. to 11 p.m.

UITS provides tips to keep you, your computer protected BY LINDSEY ERDODY lerdody@indiana.edu

Moving into to campus involves more than putting clothes away and setting up the mini refrigerator. Students also need to set up the Internet on their computers, learn how and where to print those upcoming assignments and know how to keep

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS Rondot suggests students run Get Connected (getconnected. iu.edu) before coming to campus, so then it only takes a few minutes once getting to campus. He said doing this will also set up a wireless connection.

HOW TO

PASS YOUR HONORS SEMINAR

KEEP YOUR COMPUTER SAFE Rondot suggests running antivirus software and OS updates and being sure not to click suspicious links or give out your username and password. Go to keepitsafe.iu.edu for more information about safe computer habits.

...or that 8 a.m. Finite class, that lecture from your dry professor, or Organic Chemistry. Let’s face it, there are some difficult courses at IU. Here are some tips to guarantee good grades in any class. GO TO CLASS This is the easiest thing you can do to improve your grade. While some professors post lecture slides online, many important details and facts (that usually show up on exams) are only discussed in class. Attending class also allows you to ask any question you had over the material. Many professors also use class attendance as a factor in final grades. SIT TOWARD THE FRONT Although the average class size at IU is 36 students, some classes are pretty darn huge (Woodburn 100 can seat up to 420 students). Rather than strain to hear what your econ professor is saying from the back of a 100-student lecture, choose to sit in the first three rows. Not only will you be able to hear the lecture better and take more accurate notes, but the professor will be able to recognize your face in the sea of students. FIND A FRIEND This could be your roommate or someone you see only twice a week in class. But having a study buddy is another easy resource to hold you accountable for doing your work and to talk about what you learned in class.

their laptops safe. Charles Rondot, manager of University IT Communications, offered a variety of tips and important information for incoming freshmen. He suggested visiting the custom portal first at nu2it.iu.edu/iub and offered more advice for students setting up their computers and learning how to use campus Internet.

PRINTING PROCEDURES In addition to the printing quota every student gets, UITS asks all to only print 50 pages at a time, to not reuse paper in the printers and to not use special paper, labels or transparencies. For a list of computer labs on campus, visit: stcweb.stc.indiana. edu/framework/apps/public/SiteRes/LabInfo.cfm.

STILL NEED HELP? UITS provides support 24 hours a day, seven days a week at 812-8556789, or at ithelplive.iu.edu or email help at ithelp@iu.edu. Walk-up help is available at the UITS Support Center in Herman B Wells Library. Hours for the support center are 8 a.m. to midnight Mon. through Thurs., 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Fri., noon to 5 p.m. Sat. and noon to midnight Sun. For other answers to technical problems, visit the UITS Knowledge Base at kb.iu.edu.

REVIEW YOUR SYLLABUS The first week of classes is when these handy papers are passed out outlining grade structure, attendance policy, class projects and weekly topics. Make sure to review each class syllabus and put important exam and due dates in your calendar so you don’t forget about a project or skip class the day of a test. KNOW THYSELF Do you like silence or noise when you study? Do you need convenient access to coffee or snacks? Do you study better alone or in a group? Do you focus more early in the day or late at night? Figuring out what environment you work best in is key to efficient study sessions. Read p. 56 for our favorite study spots around campus, or discover your own. GET ACADEMIC SUPPORT There are three Academic Support Centers located around campus in Teter, Forest and Briscoe residence halls. These centers provide group and individual tutorials, study groups, study tables and Writing Tutorial Services, as well as offer academic advising and workshops on study skills. Best of all, these services are free. GO TO OFFICE HOURS Every professor is required to hold weekly office hours, but many students forget to take advantage of this resource. Who better to go over material for that upcoming exam or ask questions about that lecture than the person who is teaching it to you? Professors are also a prime resource for letters of recommendation when you’re applying for internships and jobs. Establishing a good relationship with a professor in your field will come in handy not just for academic success, but for your future career as well.

Welcome

CAFÉ MOOD DRINK FOR MOOD

Be active students to succeed at ISU Hello and welcome to the campus of Iowa State, your home for the next four years and the greatest place on earth. My name is Jared Knight, president of the Student Body, and I hope each of you will soon see a small part of why I and so many Cyclones love this place. While you’re learning about Iowa State through orientation, I’ve had a few recent (and not-so-recent) freshmen share tips on how to succeed in and out of the classroom. Keeping up is easier than catching up. You’re going to have readings, homework and occasionally online assignments. Just keep up with them and life will be better. Attend events. Football and basketball games, homecoming festivities and other random events will provide many fun and new experiences and may often include free food. Start and keep a budget. The newfound freedom you’ll

soon have is fun and exciting but could leave you in financial trouble if you aren’t careful. Taking a little time to watch your expenses will go a long way. Talk to people you sit next to in class. You’ll probably see them in future classes, and it’s a great way to make new friends. Hang out with people on your dorm or apartment floor. They’ll become your friends, too. Go to ClubFest and get involved. Join a club, lead a club or even start a club. No matter what your passion is, you have the chance to make a difference and leave a legacy both on campus and in our world. Go to the Veishea concerts. I hope you’re as excited as I am to start this school year. Enjoy your orientation, and get ready to start your adventure! Jared Knight Student Body President

Dear fellow Cyclones, Welcome to Iowa State and Ames. This will be your home for the next four years, or more. Let this Orientation Guide help you settle into your new home with ease so you can hit the ground running when the school year begins. I have been at Iowa State for a little more than two years, and I have grown so much as a person. From the classes I have taken to the people I have met, the ways I think and act have changed dramatically. Another reason for my growth as a person is because I started working at the Iowa State Daily. Not only have I learned valuable reporting and

writing techniques, but I have also learned how to manage my time and communicate professionally with a wide range of people. I encourage all students interested in working for an award-winning college newspaper to apply to the Daily. From opinion writing to graphic design, you can find a job at the Daily that fits your interests. Regardless of whether you apply to the Daily, I hope you get the most out of your time at Iowa State, and I hope this Orientation Guide will help you get started. Also, I hope you find time to read the Daily. Katherine Klingseis Editor-in-Chief

Dos/Don’ts

Advice for new students: Avoid freshman stigmata By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com

1. Don’t wear your Destination Iowa State shirt around campus I can remember how happy I was when I received my free shirt at Destination Iowa State. At that point, I felt like a true ISU student. In fact, I was so excited about the shirt, I decided to wear the shirt the day after Destination Iowa State. As I was walking to the dining center, an older student stopped me, and said, “You’re a freshman, right?” I said, “Yeah,” and I kept walking. When I entered the dining center, I saw a mass of students wearing the same shirt I was wearing. At that point, I realized only freshmen wore the Destination Iowa State shirt. My advice: If you don’t want to be seen as a freshman for your entire college career, don’t wear the Destination Iowa State shirt.

2. Don’t wear your lanyard around your neck When you move to college, you have many new responsibilities. One of these responsibilities is to keep track of your keys and student ID. At Destination Iowa State, you will receive a cardinal and gold lanyard. This lanyard is perfectly designed to keep track of your keys and ID. However, nothing looks tackier than wearing this bulky bright red lanyard around your neck. A sure sign of a freshman is the token lanyard around the neck. My advice: When you get comfortable enough to put your ID in your wallet, and your keys on a key chain, you should. People will respect you more.

3. Do wear flip-flops in the shower At home, you probably only share the shower with your immediate family. More than likely, none of them have a foot fungus and if they do, you would probably know about it. At college, you share the shower with about 20 other people, and they are a lot less likely to be so forthcoming with the conditions of their feet. In order to prevent any embarrassing feet problems, make sure to pack some flip flops when you come to college. My advice: Buy some cheap flip flops,

File photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Mary Kate Wishieski, freshman in pre-graphic design, and Sarah Vanderlaan, freshman in animal science, learn the ISU fight song Aug. 18, 2011, in Hilton Coliseum at the Destination Iowa State kickoff event. During the kickoff students learn the fight song and traditional cheers.

and slip them on before you enter the shower. Fungus is not attractive no matter how pretty of feet you have.

4. Do become familiar with the ISU campus It’s your first day of class. Your backpack is packed, and you’re out the door. Problem is: you don’t know where you’re going. You are completely unfamiliar with the buildings, and have no idea where your classes are located. Instead of wandering aimlessly and looking at your campus map for ten minutes, try learning where you are going before you leave your room. The best way to do this to take a tour of the campus. My advice: Suffer through the campus tours you’re given during campus visits, orientation and Destination Iowa State. They will pay off when, on the first day of classes, you are walking effortlessly to your classes while watching others stumble around confused.

5. Do be friendly Meeting new people is scary for many people. At Iowa State, you come in contact with a countless number of people every day. Instead of being shy and standoff-

ish, overcome your nerves and try being friendly. Most people, especially freshmen, are in the same boat as you. More than likely, if you smile at someone, they will smile back. And, who knows, maybe that one smile will make their day a little better. If you want to get the most out of college, you need to break out of your shell. It may take a while, but the more you interact with people, the more comfortable you will feel. My advice: Talk to people. When you come to college, you may feel lost and lonely. By interacting with people, you will gain friends. These friends will make you feel more “at home.”

6. Do have a healthy diet Dining centers are great. They’re easy to get to, especially if you live in a dorm, and they give you a huge amount of options. Better yet, they’re all-you-can eat. However, with all that said, just because you can eat a limitless amount of food at every single meal, does not mean that you should. The “Freshman 15” is not just a myth. It is completely real, and present. You’re not in high school anymore, and

ADIVCE.p20 >>

20 | IOWA STATE | Iowa State Daily | Thursday, May 31, 2012

>>ADVICE.p19 your parents are not feeding you. You are responsible for keeping your body healthy. Having a nutritional diet is essential to maintaining a healthy body. My advice: ISU Dining provides nutritional information for all of the items at their facilities. This information will help you keep track of what food you intake. Find a happy medium between starving yourself and overindulging. Stop when you feel full.

7. Don’t wear your backpack to every place you go The backpack is a great invention. However, just because they are so useful and comfortable, does not mean that you should never take them off. The right place for backpacks is at school, when you are at a house party or walking down Welch Avenue, we all know you don’t have books in there. At that point, they’re tacky.

My advice: Really, just carry whatever you have in your bag. If you have too much to carry, think about leaving it at home. More than likely, if you have that much stuff, you’re probably going to lose it anyway.

8. Do learn how to do your laundry To a novice, laundry is hard. First, you have to separate your clothes, but everyone separate their clothes differently. Some people only separate whites and darks. Others separate whites, darks, brights, reds and pinks, delicates, etc. How do you choose? Also, there are a lot of different settings on washers and dryers. You make one incorrect move, and your clothes may be ruined. Plus, you have to choose a laundry detergent, fabric softener, dryer sheets, etc. Again, choose the wrong one, and your clothes may end up damaged. My advice: Learn how to do laundry before you get to col-

lege. When you’re home, ask whoever does the laundry at your place if you can help. It’s a win-win; you get hands on experience, they get help with a household chore.

look at how others walk. Look for people who cause annoyance to those around them. If you realize that something you do matches up with something they do, stop doing it.

9. Do learn proper walking behavior

10. Don’t be loud in the library

You learn how to walk when you’re about two years old, give or take a year. During your childhood, you will develop your own walking behavior. When you go to college, just realize that your walking behavior may be an annoyance to others near you. For instance, some people walk as if they don’t have a care in the world. For those of us who have places to be, please be kind, and move when we’re trying to pass you. There are also some people who enjoy walking in groups. When walking on a sidewalk that is only fourpeople-wide, please don’t walk side-by-side with your three friends. My advice: First, take notice of how you walk. Then,

Remember when you were a kid, and librarians would always “shush” you whenever you were loud? Just because the librarians at Parks don’t “shush” you, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be quiet. A lot of people who go to the library go specifically to study. There are even places in the library are designated “quiet areas.” When are talking loudly, especially in “quiet areas,” this may interrupt another person’s concentration. My advice: Just be respectful. This is really all about the golden rule: treat others how you would like to be treated. If you want people to be quiet when you are studying, then you should be quiet when others are studying.

Transportation

CyRide

dos and don’ts File photo: Nick Nelson/Iowa State Daily CyRide is the official bus transportation for Iowa State and the Ames community. CyRide has more than 15 routes throughout campus and the city and is fare-free for all ISU students.

By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com The most efficient way to get around Ames is by using the city bus system, CyRide. And as such, here are some simple dos and don’ts to follow to help keep everyone’s ride comfortable. Do take seats between two people as the bus fills up. Maybe you really don’t want to sit next to someone you don’t know, but during peak hours you have to forgo your personal space bubble. Don’t take up a seat with your backpack when the bus is getting full. Most people are too uncomfortable asking for the seat, so do them a favor and help make space. Do enjoy listening to music while riding, but keep the volume low enough that others don’t have to hear it. The bus does get louder than your average headphones, so be aware with a little trial and error. Don’t start random conversations with people next to you. This might seem strange, as being friendly is usually encouraged, but most people don’t want to have an inane conversation. Do give up your seat for the elderly, the handicapped, pregnant women and young children — you know the drill — when seated toward the front of the bus. And even if your are in the back, be nice and show courtesy to others. Don’t talk loudly on your phone, especially about personal issues or gossip.

With that in mind, just consider not using your phone on the bus; text or tell people you will call them back. Do maintain your place in line as if you were waiting on tickets to a nearly sold out concert. Only so many people can get on a bus at a time, and there are a lot of people that will try to line jump. Tell them to wait their turn. Don’t try eating food on the bus. Wait the short time to get off. Do move toward the back of the bus when you get on and know it will be full. Those front seats are closer, but when the bus is filling up — and you will realize when it is going to be busy by the crowds of students standing in line waiting outside — taking the front seats only makes it harder to get everyone aboard. Don’t exit at the front of the bus. It might be more convenient, but the additional five seconds to use the rear door will make it easier for getting other folks on while you leave. Do try to shower when you plan to ride during peak hours. Frequently you will have to look like a monkey and stand while holding the bars on the bus. Notice this means your arm is up in the air. Notice how smelling fresh will let you avoid embarrassment and let others avoid foul stenches. Don’t litter or leave the Daily on the seats. Take your trash with you. Do feel free to talk to friends if you are seated next to each other, but speak quietly enough so others don’t have to become

a part of the conversation. This rule is remanded during twilight hours (or drunkbus hours as they are more accurately termed) as keeping students quiet while they are intoxicated or excited to go out is simply a ludicrous notion. Don’t crop dust the bus. If you have to pass gas, do it before you get on. Do clearly show the driver your ID card. If the driver cannot see it, they will stop you and ask to see it again, which slows down the entire bus ride. Don’t be late to your bus stop. Waiting around sucks, but making others wait as you run down the street is rude. Plan ahead, or suffer through the few minutes it takes for the next bus to arrive. Do use the bus to go get groceries and other goods you have to shop for. Just don’t do so during peak use hours. There will not be room for all your bags, so think ahead. Don’t cross in front of a bus that is already waiting at a crosswalk, wait a few seconds for it to pass. It is hard enough for the drivers to keep things running on time during peak hours, thanks to all the students getting on and off. Do pull the stop cord well before the actual bus stop. Pulling it at the last minute isn’t funny, and drivers can just ignore you so that they don’t have to slam on the brakes to let your inattentive or obnoxious self off. Don’t open windows if it is raining or cold. Be the same rationale, don’t close them if it is scorching hot.

Identification

Why your ISUCard is your ISU lifeline By Amy.Thompson Daily staff writer When you first come to campus as a student, you will be issued your student ID. You may be thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably just like my driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only use it a few times, mainly when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in trouble.â&#x20AC;? But if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like most new students, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll quickly find this to be untrue. If you misplace it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be impossible for you to eat, work out, get a

ride and â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if you live in campus housing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; get into your living quarters. Here are the most important things to know about your ISU ID, which will be your best friend on campus: 1. Food. If you are a freshman living in the residence halls, you are required to have a meal plan, which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need your ID to access. In my day (4 years ago), we could sneak into the dining halls, or bribe the card swiper to let us in. Those days are gone. Make sure you have your ID, or else you

will be eating Easy Mac alone in your room. No freshman wants that. 2. Fitness. Given all the distractions youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have in your first year, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many of you will sign up to use Iowa State fitness facilities or take the fitness classes. Those of you who do will need your ID to get into both. 3. CyRide. If, like many freshmen, you lack a car, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably find yourself on CyRide, a bus line that runs throughout campus and the rest of Ames. To ride lines that go into the city, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need your ID or pay the fare. You can, however, ride the lineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cyclone and Cardinal routes for free. 4. Studying. Your ID isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just your lifeline, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also your library card. 5. Keys. If you live in the residence halls, your ID is

your access card to get into the building after hours. If you lose it, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be left waiting outside, desperately calling your roommates, or calling the community adviser and possibly facing lockout fees. 6. Snacks. Unless you have cash or credit, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still out of luck. Your ID has CyCash and Dining Dollars uploaded on it. 7. Additional services? As the ISUCard website says, your ID â&#x20AC;&#x153;is your future,â&#x20AC;? apparently because the services it makes available to you will only continue to grow. The moral of the story? Carry your ID with you at all times. If you do lose it, all you need to do is make a trip to Beardshear Hall. You will be $20 poorer, but have a brand-new ID in minutes.

Exercise

Stay fit with Recreation Services By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com With everything else students have to do, fitness may not be on the top of their to-do lists. However, it is important for a student to remember that he or she needs to exercise to maintain a healthy body and mind. “Students ought to be using the fitness and wellness aspect of their life to balance out their life. So from an academic standpoint, it helps with their success,” said Michael Giles, director of recreation services. “If they’re just strictly so bogged down in the academic side of things, and they don’t take time to relax or relieve stress or keep their physical body well, then that will have a negative effect on their mental ability and their ability to stay focused.” To help students maintain a healthy lifestyle, Iowa State offers several fitness facilities for students to use. “As a registered student with the university, [access to the recreational facilities] is automatically paid for out of your activity fees,” Giles said. “And it gets you access to anything related to not just our facilities, but to also our programs, services and the whole nine yards.” Here is an overview of the recreation facilities available at Iowa State:

File photo: Kendra Plathe/Iowa State Daily Students work out on ellipticals in the skywalk between the new State Gym renovation and Beyer Hall. The renovation opened in January.

Lied Recreation Center “Lied is our main fitness facility here on campus, at the moment,” Giles said. “There are several amenities that make it a full-rounded recreational facility.” 236,201 square feet Eight lane track, 50-yard artificial turf, 20 basketball courts, four volleyball courts, three walleyball courts, seven racquetball courts and eight badminton courts Weight equipment, free weights, treadmills, el-

By Jamie.Lauten @iowastatedaily.com Here are a few things I picked up along the way that will hopefully lower your anxiety levels so you can have the best recruitment experience possible.

1. Wear comfy shoes Although you may be pumped to show of your new Sperrys or Steve Madden sandals, recruitment may not be the best time to slip into them for the first time. This is not to say you shouldn’t decide to wear your cutest shoes, just try and break them in beforehand. Even though Sorority Circle only encompasses a few streets, you’ll be on your feet all day long strutting from house to house, and blisters happen even to the best of us.

3. Be Classy There is a time and place to show off what your momma gave you and recruitment is not that time. Recruitment is all about making a good impression, not showing off your bust. You want to look age appropriate and fashion forward while professional at the same time.

4. Choose for you So you and your five new BFFs like the same house? That is great. However, you shouldn’t let this impact your decision making. You need to make sure you’re choosing the best house for you. It can be scary to make such an important decision, but you just have to trust yourself and the process.

2. Mix it up

5. Have fun

During recruitment you’re going to find you’ll be having very similar conversations at each house. Be memorable and change it up. Don’t be afraid to be yourself. No other girl going through recruitment is exactly like you. When it comes to recruitment, there’s no script you have to follow. Don’t feel as though you have to talk about your major or what you did over the summer every time you talk to a girl.

Nervous? Don’t worry so much. Embrace the experience and soak it up as much as you can. Classes won’t have started yet, so no need to feel flabbergasted. Take this time to bond with the other girls in your recruitment group if nothing else. No matter what house everyone ends up in, you may be meeting girls who could remain your best friends for the rest of your college experience.

Traditions

Popular myths, traditions from Iowa State’s history

By Kelsey.Roehrich @iowastatedaily.com Campaniling If you are on campus at midnight you may notice a plethora of couples around the Campanile. This is due to a very old ISU tradition called “Campaniling.” According to the tradition, a student is not considered a true Iowa Stater until he or she has been kissed under the Campanile at midnight.

The Zodiac and the Fountain of the Four Seasons If you enter though the north entrance of the Memorial Union you better watch

your step. You will notice on the floor lies a large zodiac. Rumors dating back to 1929 say that if you step on the Zodiac, you will fail your next exam. If you happen to be careless one day you better have some loose change. If you throw a coin into the Fountain of the Four Seasons, right outside the north entrance, the curse will be lifted.

Beardshear to Curtiss Run Midnight on Central Campus is not just for kissing. You will also notice a very strange phenomenon. When the Campanile rings at midnight, you may see people running across Central Campus who appear to be naked.

No, you are not imagining things, this is an old challenge that says you must run across Central Campus from Beardshear Hall to Curtiss Hall naked. You must make it across in the amount of time that it takes for the Campanile to ring 12 times.

Hit by a CyRide You will notice many buses passing through campus; these are CyRide buses. Rumor has it that if a student at Iowa State were to get hit by a CyRide bus, that student would get free tuition. If you ever hear someone saying this, please tell that person this is untrue. Iowa State does not need its students intentionally throwing themselves in front of buses for free tuition money.

Money

How to pay, budget for college tuition Financial aid comes in grants, loans, scholarships

and March 1 in order for students to be considered. Students can submit the application online for free. There is free help available and can also be found on the FAFSA website.

By Caroline.Havekost Daily staff writer Cost is a huge factor for students when deciding to go to college. Iowa State has many different financial aid, loan and scholarship options and the resources for new students to afford the cost of attending the university.

Scholarships Many different scholarships are available for incoming and currently enrolled students at any and all grade levels. The university offers many different scholarships based on interested major, academics and activities.

Student loans

Financial aid

Iowa State also offers information on student loans. There are two different types of loans, subsidized and unsubsidized loans. A subsidized loan is awarded based on need. An unsubsidized loan charges interest from the benefiting of the loan until full repayment.

Students can apply for financial aid by filing out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, better known as FAFSA. This application must be filed every year in order for students to be considered for federal and institutional aid. The application should be filed each year between Jan. 1

The Financial Aid Office has many different resources for more information on financial aid, loans and scholarships, as well as counselors available for specific questions. Counselors in the financial aid office can discuss financial aid for the many different aspects of college life, including study abroad. The Financial Aid Office is located on the ground floor of Beardshear Hall. The office is open during the summer every weekday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Appointments are made on a first come, first serve basis.

What to bring when you come to Iowa State By Kelsey.Roehrich @iowastatedaily.com The summer before your freshman year can be a very stressful time — between the excitement of finally leaving for school and the terror that you will get there and realize that you forgot something. One of the biggest concerns of an incoming freshman is, “What on Earth am I supposed to bring?” There are the obvious things, such as clothes, bedding, snack food, a television and, of course, room decorations. You want to bring decorations that will allow the people you meet to get a taste of who you really are. Fill your room with your favorite colors and patterns. Pictures from home are always a good touch. They can help with homesickness as well as show people a little bit about you and your friends and family. Some things are not quite so obvious. When living in the dorms you are deprived of space. It is important to have items and furniture for storage purposes, like shelves and drawers. “A hammer, screwdriver

and flashlight are important to have,” said Ciara McCarty, freshman in kinesiology. “That seems a little random, but I don’t know how many times I actually used those or had someone borrow them for random issues around the room.” Through all of the hype over what you will need to decorate your room, you may forget that you are going to college to go to classes and you will need school supplies — pencils, notebooks, calculators and a backpack, just to name a few. “I suggest getting a netbook or a Mac instead of a laptop if you plan on bringing your computer to classes,” said Justin Mikesell, sophomore in chemistry. “I have had a lot of problems with loosing battery power very quickly.” Classes can get a bit overwhelming at times, so bring some leisure activities to relax with. These can be your favorite books, movies, video or board games, arts and crafts, or anything else you enjoy. But the most important thing to bring, said Thomas Stecher, freshman in aerospace engineering: “Money for Super Dogs,” which are sold on Welch Avenue.

Religion

ISU students can find a variety of faith-based groups in Ames

By Ashley.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com Students new to Ames may be looking to find a religious or church group to join upon coming to Iowa State. Finding a church and making connections within that church can help a student feel more at home, which can help them more easily adapt to their new environment. There are many religious and faithbased organizations in Ames that are especially designed for college students.

Campus Christian Fellowship Campus Christian Fellowship is a group of Iowa State students that aims to encourage relationships with Jesus Christ through the Bible, worship, prayer and fellowship. It is non-denominational and is supported by churches across the state

These events are aimed at providing an environment for students and group members to connect with each other, as well as a neutral atmosphere for friends who may not be Christians.

Atheist and Agnostic Society The Atheist and Agnostic Society aims to provide a support group for students who believe that one can live a fulfilling and ethical life without religion. The group also aims to create a good image of atheists and for the group members to be seen as good citizens of both the university and the broader community. During the school year, the group meets regularly at 7 p.m. Mondays in the Gold Room in the Memorial Union.

Buddhism The Ames Karma Kagyu Study Group offers a meeting place for students who wish to practice Buddhism. Weekly meetings and meditation classes are open to the public.

learn more about Islam. The group collaborates and meets with other organizations throughout the year.

City life

Ames mayor welcomes students to ‘a mighty fine place to live’ Dear incoming ISU students, Welcome to your new academic home, but also your new city home — or home away from home. As ISU students, you are now also official residents of the city of Ames. That comes with all the rights and responsibilities of such, including voting. With a presidential election coming up, voting and participating in the process can offer exciting opportunities for involvement — not only in the ISU community but in the larger Ames community as well. On a lighter side, we hope that you will enjoy all of the fun amenities that Ames has to offer. It would be hard to find a comparable community with more than 30 parks of varying sizes and uses — including a dog park! Add to that the more than 50 miles of shared use paths for those of you who come to town with your bicycle. The list goes on.

File Photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Mike Brennan, retired commander of the Ames Police Department, talks with Ames Mayor Ann Campbell at Brennan’s retirement reception Jan. 7 at Ames City Hall. Friday was Brennan’s last day working for the Ames Police Department after 30 years of service.

Diverse shopping and ethnic restaurants surpass that of most towns our size. Do check them out. Most exciting is all the shared resources between Iowa State and the city

of Ames. At the top of that list is CyRide, serving not just Iowa State, but the entire Ames community. The Ames/ ISU Ice Arena is shared and used by community members and students alike. The city and Iowa State share a sustainability coordinator. Again, the list goes on. All told, we hope the offerings and resources of the Ames community make Iowa State an attractive choice for students. And we know that the athletic, cultural and educational resources make Ames a better place for long-term residents. Thanks for choosing Ames and Iowa State as your new home. Feel free to call me at City Hall, 239-5105, with any thoughts. Welcome. We think this is a mighty fine place to live. Sincerely yours, Ann Campbell Mayor

File photo: Nick Nelson/Iowa State Daily North Grand Mall offers many popular shops, such as JCPenny, American Eagle, the Gap and more. It also has a movie theater with shows as priced as low as $1.50.

As incoming freshman, one of the biggest concerns about moving to Ames may be that there will be no where to shop. But think again. The North Grand Mall has many stores and other amenities to offer ISU students. “You may shop, dine and enjoy more than 50 namebrand stores, specialty boutiques, restaurants and service providers,” said Lori Bosley, general manager of North Grand Mall. The North Grand Mall is packed with stores that students will enjoy. Bosley lists off stores such as: JCPenney, Younkers, Gap, American Eagle, Eddie Bauer, Victoria’s Secret, Bath & Body Works and Buckle — just to name a few. If it is food and entertainment you are looking for, you can grab a bite to eat at Cookies, etc.; Jimmy John’s; Flame & Skewer or Pretzelmaker. Then you can go catch a movie at the North Grand 5 theater. The North Grand 5, commonly referred to as the “dollar” theater, plays movies that were released a few months earlier. If you wait and see the movies at this theater, tickets

are only $1.50 and 3-D movies are $3.50. With all of the shopping that you will be doing, you may blow through your money pretty quickly. If this ends up being the case for you, Bosley said: “Job seekers will find multiple employment opportunities at the 50 plus businesses located at the mall.” Freshman may be worried about transportation to and from the mall if they do not have a vehicle. The North Grand Mall is located just a few miles from exit 113 on Interstate 35, at 2801 Grand Ave. in Ames. “The North Grand Mall is close to Iowa State University and on the CyRide bus route,” Bosley said. Students can be picked up by the No. 1 Red or No. 3 Blue CyRide bus right from campus. The buses will drop you off and pick you up directly outside the front of the mall, so there is no need to worry about hauling all of your bags far distances. Make sure to take a trip out to the North Grand Mall during your first year here at Iowa State. This mall has much to offer college students for their shopping, dining and entertainment needs.

Main Street offers shopping, food and more

By Ashley.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com

Residents of Ames may be very familiar with the historic beauty of the local Main Street, but incoming students are often unaware of the variety of activities the Main Street Cultural district has to offer. Main Street is lined with many businesses, shops and restaurants for people of all ages and interests to enjoy. Quaint shops such as Chocolaterie Stam and Lyla’s Boutique & More sit next to cafes, bars and restaurants like the Grove Cafe, London Underground and Aunt Maude’s.

Shopping For college girls looking for a new outfit to wear the upcoming weekend, Lyla’s Boutique & More is the place to go. Lyla’s features anything from dresses to jeans to accessories to shoes. Customers can come for a cute cocktail dress for a night on the town or a cute pair of colored jeans to wear during the week. Lyla’s also sells a variety of jewelry and accessories and shoes. Shoppers can even find

stylish cowboy boots for sale in the shop. Also available at the store are stylish ISU gear, including dresses, tanks, jewelry, scarves and handbags. Other clothing boutiques on the street include Teal & Tenacious and Sigler on Main. Teal & Tenacious is a women’s clothing store that sells name brands such as Jag Jeans, Bamboo Co. and Tribal. The store also sells jewelry from local artists as well as handmade accessories. Minor alterations to clothing is provided to shoppers at no cost. Sigler on Main is a clothing store that specializes in athletic wear. Customers can find ISU, UNI, Iowa and Drake team apparel. The store is unique in its items, selling sports team clothing that is also cute — such as ISU dresses, tanks and jewelry. Shoppers can also find local high school team apparel, such as Ames High and Boone schools. There are also a few shoe stores lining main street, including Emmerhoff’s Footwear and Brown’s Shoe Fit Co.

>>MAIN STREET.p39 Consignment For the students looking to “go green” and find something cheap, there are several consignment shops along Main Street. The Loft offers resale of trendy, brand name clothes that any college student would enjoy. Students looking for a cute outfit to wear on the weekend at an extremely reasonable price can find exactly what they are looking for at The Loft. The Loft features name brand clothes from stores such as Express, Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch. Clothes are current — nothing bought over a few years ago — and stylish and trendy. Duck Worth Wearing is another consignment shop that sells children’s clothes and toys. Also sold at the shop is maternity clothing. Other consignment shops, such as Great Stuff, LTD and Anything but New sell furniture, home accessories, antiques and even vintage clothing.

Bars Several bars can be found along Main Street. Some of the popular bars include Deano’s, DG’s Taphouse and Olde Main. DG’s Taphouse specializes in beer. The ultimate craft beer bar, customers can choose from 56 beers on tap and more than 100 choices in bottles. Customers are encouraged to come in, sit down, enjoy a beer and play pool, foosball, darts or pinball. Live music is also featured in the bar each weekend. The London Underground is an English-style pub featuring imported beers on tap. The pub gives customers an international atmosphere and customers can expect to feel like they just stepped into the big city of London. The Corner Pocket is a popular pool-bar, hence the name. Customers go to enjoy a few drinks and play a few competitive or friendly games of pool.

Restaurants A plethora of local restaurants line Main Street. From Italian food to Thai cuisine, there is something for everyone. The Grove Cafe is a unique place to get a great breakfast. “[Our restaurant] is old style, like something you would find in town in the 1950s or ‘60s,” said owner Larry Goodale. “It’s small and quaint.” Something special to The Grove Cafe is that customers can watch Goodale cook from anywhere in the restaurant. Goodale said the most popular item sold is the pancake. “It’s had a ton of publicity. It’s been written up in the Food Network Magazine as the best breakfast in Iowa.” The pancake is traditional, big and fluffy served with homemade syrup. “My recommendation is to come in, get breakfast, try our pancake and see the place,” said Goodale. Other great places to eat on Main Street are Aunt Maude’s, Olde Main, Downtown Deli, The Spice and many more. The Spice is restaurant that offers authentic Thai cuisine. The restaurant offers a sophisticated atmosphere but is also a relaxed environment. On the restaurant’s website, the owner, Supote Methiyapun, offers some rec-

ommendations on how to enjoy the cuisine the traditional way of Thailand. Methiyapun shares on the site that the best way to enjoy Thai food is to have a group of people together so that each dish can be shared amongst them. The owner also distinguishes the difference between Thai food and Chinese food — in Thai food, chopsticks are not a standard utensil and are not used for rice dishes. Chopsticks are usually only used when Chinese style noodles are sold. Olde Main is not only a restaurant but also a brewing company. Customers can come to the restaurant or brewery to wine and dine. There are also rooms for customers to hold events. Olde Main is unique to Ames because it is also a

brewing company. The brewery uses a mix of traditional brewing practices with new, modern techniques to create fresh and unique flavored beers. Olde Main’s beers can be found across Iowa in other bars and restaurants and in retail stores throughout the state as well. For those looking to get a firsthand experience of the brewery, Olde Main allows customers to schedule tours to view the brewery and the brewing process. Whether you’re looking for a quick lunch, a fancy evening dinner, somewhere to shop or to experience something new, Main Street offers it all. Not only is it lively and filled with something for everyone, it’s a historic part of Ames and, if nothing else, a beautiful place to take a walk down the street.

Your complete guide to Ames entertainment By Julia.Ferrell @iowastatedaily.com As the semester begins, students may find themselves overwhelmed with classes and living in a different city. But have no fear, the Ames entertainment life is always available to help ease the stress of a new year.

Local Music The Ames music scene is establishing itself as a go-to performance location in the Midwest. Ames has several performance venues, including the Maintenance Shop, The Space and DG’s Taphouse, among many others. The Maintenance Shop, located in the Memorial Union, offers drinks and food while students listen to their favorite bands.

The Space for Ames is used as a music venue, as well as a workshop space and a gallery. Local musicians Nate Logsdon and Chris Lyng formed the first annual Maximum Ames Music Festival last year, and the four-day event featured 127 bands, Lyng said in a previous interview. Headliners for last year’s festival included The Mountain Goats and Someone Still Loves You, Boris Yeltsin. This year’s festival will take place between Sept. 20 and Sept. 23.

Campus Music The music department is also beginning its season of choir, orchestra, jazz and percussion performances. Music can be heard regularly at the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital

Students can audition for a variety of musical groups, including vocal choirs, percussion ensembles, marching band, jazz bands and instrumental groups. More information on auditioning for groups can be found in the Music Hall office or on the music department website.

Theater The Ames theater life also offers plenty of performances throughout the year. ISU Theatre performs several plays, and the occasional opera, in Fisher Theater every year. The theater season also includes the annual Stars over Veishea musical in the spring, as well as the studentproduced play at the end of the year. Information on auditions can be found in the theater office on the second floor of Pearson Hall or online at the department’s website. Stephens Auditorium also provides professional musicals, plays and other entertainment groups throughout the year. This year’s lineup includes musicals like “Shrek” and “West Side Story,” and acrobatic performances like “ZooZoo” and “Traces.” The Ames area also provides several community theaters. While there are many local theaters throughout the county, Ames includes theatrical troupes ACTORS and the Story Theater Company. ACTORS auditions are held throughout the year, and offer rehearsal schedules flexible with Iowa State students. The Story Theater Company performs children’s theater throughout the year, and workshops are held throughout the summer.

Dance Iowa State also provides dance groups for a range of genres. Hip-hop group Dub H began in 2001, and performs in both fall and spring semesters. The group has previously performed for the Minnesota

Timberwolves, including two halftime performances. Groups Orchesis I and II perform throughout the year as well. Auditions for Orchesis I are held each year and are in Studio 196 in the Forker Building. Each year, Orchesis I performs at the Octagon Art Festival, and also hosts two shows of its own. In the fall, the team performs the annual Barjche modern and contemporary dance production. Orchesis II, however, is a non-audition dance group, and performs a range of dances including jazz, tap, modern and hip-hop.

Art Several art galleries are located around the ISU campus. Morrill Hall, located north of Beardshear Hall, is home to the Christian Petersen Art Museum. The museum features art from Iowa State’s former artist-in-residence. The exhibit is located at 1017 and 0003 Morrill Hall. The Memorial Union is also home to several art galleries. The Gallery and the Pioneer Room, both located on the third floor, are often used as art exhibits, showcasing both regional and student artists. New exhibits are displayed ev-

ery four to six weeks, according to the gallery website. The Brunnier Art Museum, located in the Scheman Building in Iowa State Center, displays various art exhibits throughout the year. The museum emphasizes decorative art, and exhibits often include glass and stone, as well as textiles, carpets and furniture. Students can also venture off campus to find more art exhibits. Located on Douglas Avenue, the Octagon Center for the Arts, provides exhibits and classes throughout the year. On Sept. 23, the Octagon will host the 42nd annual Octagon Art Festival, located in the Main Street Cultural District. The free festival allows more than 100 Midwest artists to sell and display their work.

Movies If students are looking for a laid-back evening, Ames also provides two movie theaters near campus. Cinemark Movies 12, located at 1317 Buckeye Ave., provides new releases and midnight showings of big films. Movies 12 shows films several times throughout every day of the week.

In North Grand Mall, Cinemark North Grand 5 also shows films throughout the week. Although the films shown have been released for several weeks prior, North Grand 5 sells tickets for as cheap as $1.50.

Veishea In April, all of Ames entertainment comes together in the annual celebration of Veishea. The weeklong celebration is meant to showcase the ISU community, and both local and national entertainment are featured throughout the week. During the week, student events and contests feature a range of entertainment talents. Cyclone Idol, a singing competition, is hosted by a celebrity singer and Veishea Says I’m Funny showcases stand-up comedians on campus. The Music Showcase Extraordinaire, held in the Maintenance Shop, includes performances from both students and local bands. Friday and Saturday sees the Live@Veishea concerts. Each year, national acts perform in the parking lot outside of the Molecular Biology Building.

Local music

Eleven artists to hear in Ames, where to watch them perform By Dylan Boyle Daily staff writer When Des Moines’ Slipknot exploded on to the heavy metal scene, music journalists and industry representatives predicted Iowa would soon be to metal what Seattle had been to grunge in the early ‘90s. Although Iowa and Des Moines never became the new cultural center of heavy metal, the indie music scene in Iowa is growing at an exponential rate, and Ames’ scene is truly at the forefront of the movement. While some students may feel a trip to Minneapolis, Omaha or Iowa City is a required to see great live music on the weekend, a short walk from campus to The Space for Ames, Headliners or the Maintenance Shop will reveal that phenomenal live shows do exist in flyover country. The scene thrives on a devotion to local culture, collaboration, open minds, eccentricity and artists’ shared love not only for the music, but also for the scene they proudly represent.

11 Artists You Have to See Before Graduation (In no particular order.) The Poison Control Center The Poison Control Center has defined the Ames music scene for the last 10 years. The band’s performances – featuring stage somersaults and Guitarist Patrick Fleming often hanging from any rafter in reach – have become legendary events. Along with bringing a Pavement and early Who sound to the stage, Poison Control Center has always been Ames ambassadors, promoting the scene wherever they go.

Mumford’s

The Workshy

Take one part Townes Van Zandt, a dash of klezmer and add some gypsy punk, and you might just get something similar to Mumford’s sound. The band’s live shows combine driving, catchy melodies with deep singer-songwriter lyrics, with often theatric plots playing out throughout the performance.

The jam band scene is alive and well in Ames with bands like The Workshy and newcomers The Sun Company bringing funky improvisational grooves to the stage in true Jerry style.

The Snacks There are cover bands in any college town, but few can boast the repertoire of The Snacks who, quite literally, cover everything. The twoman drum and keyboard act is known for filling any audience request – from “Girl from Impanema” and Barry Manilow’s “Copacabana” to Bell Biv Devoe’s “Poison” and Jay Z’s “H to the Izzo.”

The Anytime For the pop-punk fan, Ames band The Anytime brings a Rocket Summer-like dance grove and a polished stage presence for a high energy show. The Anytime have released two EPs so far, and spend their time managing the Lost and Found Lounge on Welch Avenue when not on stage.

Matt Woods and the Thunderbolts Blues music is still alive in central Iowa. Guitarist Matt Woods combines the Chicago blues sound with R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough-influenced Mississippi hill country blues for a diverse boogie experience. Woods shows a mastery for slide guitar work and his extended jams will please any blues aficionado.

Radio Moscow Face-melting licks and powerful, driving blues rock have defined Radio Moscow’s sound for years. The Story City trio fronted by shredder Parker Griggs produces a Hendrix-style ‘60s psychedelic sound. Moscow spends most of their time touring interna-

tionally now, but makes several stops in Ames every year. The band is currently working on its third album and had success with the second when Radio Shack put on tune in a commercial featuring Lance Armstrong.

Shaun Billz Hip-hop and rap is often scarce compared to indie bands in Iowa, but Shaun Mathis, a.k.a. Shaun Billz, has been bringing smooth rhymes back from his native Chicago backed by tracks he produces himself.

Christopher the Conquered Following in the footsteps of Poison Control Center, Chris Ford and his band bring the Ames stage presence to live shows with Ford conducting the horn section — The Black Gold Brass Band — Frank Zappa style from his piano stool. CtC’s piano driven rock songs showcase Ford’s powerful soul voice and witty songwriting.

Leslie and the Ly’s Known for her massive collection of sweaters, Leslie

Coffee shops

nity space located west from campus on Lincoln Way, offers a variety of shows to all-age audiences.

Ames wouldn’t be a college town without the occasional singer-songwriter performing acoustic music one of the many coffee shops around town. Stomping Grounds in Campustown hosts artists almost every week and Café Milo in West Ames hosts local musicians every Friday and Saturday night.

M-Shop Iowa State’s own Maintenance Shop has a long history of great music – Buddy Guy and Junior Wells have performed there in the past – and gives students access to a variety of touring acts and bigger bands.

Bars Several bars in both Campustown and throughout Ames host acts on the weekends for the 21+ crowd. Headliners in Campustown has become the best place to find metal in Ames. Project 20/20 has become a premier dance club. Venturing away from Campustown, fans will find Mother’s Pub hosting blues acts like Matt Woods, singer-songwriters and cover bands. On Main Street, DG’s Tap House is a prime stop for many regional jam bands and local acts.

Getting involved To say the Ames music scene is welcoming would be an understatement. Unlike other music cities, the vibe in Ames is one of many unique talents with multiple bands and solo artists. The best way for students to get involved in the local scene — either as a musician or as a volunteer helping put on shows — is attending and meeting other musicians at open mic nights. Many resources for aspiring musicians also exist within the Ames community as well, from music stores like Rieman Music and BRG Music on Main Street to music studios like The Spacement, Alexander Recording Kompany and Pinnacle Records.

Things to consider when budgeting for campus dining By Caitlin Diimig AmesEats Flavors writer

Paying for on-campus meals

You’ve probably heard the rumors. The ones about the 15 pounds. The ones about only eating ramen noodles. The ones about living off of diet sodas and pizza rolls. The ones about being broke from said diet sodas and pizza rolls. For some people, the rumors are true, but they don’t have to be true if you know what your dining options are and how to budget correctly. The sooner you get a handle on this whole budget and responsibility stuff, the better off you and your 15 pounds will be.

If you’re living on campus in Union Drive, Richardson Court or Buchanan Hall it is mandatory you have a meal plan. You have a few options when it comes to picking a meal plan. The more meals you buy the less money you pay per meal. The “Cyclone” plan is only $6.15 per meal, but are you going to eat 19 meals a week? If you are, then great, this meal plan is for you. From my experience most college students ate about 14 meals

Local restaurants bring variety By Ashley.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com There are numerous great places for people in Ames to grab a bite to eat. Ames is full of restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings, Applebees, Red Lobster, Carlos o’Kelly’s and many more.

>>DINING.p48 per week. It’s important to know what works for you. If you hate the dining center food and want to live out of your dorm mini-fridge then maybe a “25 Meal Block” plan is best for you. With meal blocks one can add more meals at anytime, but you have to add dining dollars separately. Dining Dollars are a great perk, but can be tough on your budget because they offer so much convenience. They’re dangerous because if you’re not watching how many Caribou coffees you’re consuming your dining dollars will deplete quickly. If this does happen you can add more Dining Dollars at anytime. Here’s where that whole “budget stuff” comes in handy. So, if you don’t plan on eating at the dining hall frequently, another option is to load up on Dining Dollars. Dining centers, campus restaurants and campus convenience stores all accept

Dining Dollars. Campus restaurants also have meal bundles, which can be paid for by meal blocks or semester plans.

Dorm diet If living in a dorm it’s best one roomie brings the minifridge, and the other the microwave. You’ll need these for the breakfasts, snacks and possibly quick lunches. Buy cereal, oatmeal, milk and yo-

gurt for quick breakfasts in the morning. Take CyRide and make a trip to Hy-Vee or other local grocers to keep it budgetfriendly. Convenience stores on campus are often more expensive and should be used in emergencies only. Buy dried fruits and nuts for a quick trail mix snack. Ease up on the Cheetos, your roommate will not be happy when they catch you wiping

your cheesy fingers on their futon. Not to mention they offer no nutritional value. Don’t bother buying fresh fruits. Unless you really do plan to eat them several times a day, they go bad too quickly for dorm life. Besides you can leave the dining center with a piece of fruit at every meal to snack on later. Same goes with the desserts. The dining centers offer delicious cakes and pies that beat out stale cookies bought at the store. For lunch try making sandwiches with whole wheat bread and buy lean meat and non-processed cheeses from the deli. Try making burritos with tortillas, ready rice, cheese, black beans and salsa. Don’t forget you can always make grilled cheeses with an iron. Just make sure to clean the iron off when you’re done. Be prepared with a canopener and microwavable plastic storage containers, as well as a complete dining set for one person, to make the most of your dorm dining.

Flavors

Easy microwave meals for the dorm By Linda Berlakovich AmesEats Flavors writer Dorm food does not have to just be mac and cheese and Ramen Noodles. If you have a microwave, it is easy to make recipes such as breakfast sandwiches or even lasagna. All is takes is experimentation and a microwave. Here are two recipes for the adventurous student. Cooking times will vary between microwaves so adjust accordingly. I used a 1500-watt microwave, which is a little on the high power side.

Microwave Cheesy Lasagna 6 lasagna noodles 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce 3/4 cup shredded mozza-

rella cheese 1 cup cottage cheese 1 cup vegetables (your choice, sliced thin. I used zucchini and mushrooms) 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning Shredded mozzarella cheese for topping

In a microwave safe 1 1/2 quart dish, spoon 1/4 cup of the sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay two of the lasagna noodles on top of the sauce. Next, pour another 1/4 cup of the sauce on top of the noodles. On top of the sauce, evenly spread half of the cheese followed by half of the vegetables, followed by 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Sprinkle half of the Italian seasoning on top. Lay two more noodles on top and repeat layers as described before: sauce, cheese,

veggies, cottage cheese, seasoning. Place your last two noodles on the layers and cover with the remaining sauce. Top with desired amount of mozzarella cheese. Microwave, covered, on high for five minutes. Next, microwave on 50 percent power for 15 minutes. Allow the lasagna to sit in the microwave for five minutes.

Microwave Egg Sandwich

1 egg 1 teaspoon butter 1 slice cheese 1 English muffin

In a microwave safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the egg and poke the yolk with a fork, piercing the membrane. Microwave for 50 seconds on

50 percent power until egg is set. Cut English muffin into a top and bottom, like a burger bun. Lay each half on a plate and place half of the cheese slice on each half. Microwave on mediumhigh power, 70 percent, until cheese is melted in about 30 seconds. Place the egg on one half and top with the other. Now you are out the door with a filling breakfast in less than five minutes.

Eating

Your guide to enjoy eating at campus dining centers By Kelsey Schirm AmesEats Flavors writer Eating at a campus dining center can be a difficult task, especially for incoming freshmen who are unsure about how the centers work. There are a few things every freshman should know before stepping in for his or her first meal as a college student. Here are some tips to help guide newcomers through the process and keep you from assuming that telltale expression of utter confusion.

Before you go... Check menu and nutrition First of all, each dining center posts their weekly menu on the ISU Dining site (dining.iastate.edu). Checking this before going to eat is a great way for you figure out what you want to eat for that meal. It also helps shorten the long process of wandering around looking for something appetizing. If you are trying to eat healthily or just curious about what ingredients are included in a dish, you can check out the NetNutrition tab on the dining site.

Bring ISU card An important thing to remember before taking off is making sure you have your ISUCard with you. This contains all the data about your meal plan, and without it, the checker at the door will not allow you inside. Do not worry if you lose your card — it happens. If your card is lost or stolen you can visit the ISU Dining office in Friley Hall to obtain a meal pass for $3 (good for one week) until you can find your card or go purchase a new one at the ISUCard Office.

Go when it’s not busy There is one last thing to consider before eating at a dining hall. Because most classes are scheduled around the noon lunch hour, noon is a very busy time. The checker’s line tends to wrap around the building and tables can be very difficult to find. If your schedule allows you to eat an

hour before or after noon, you might want to consider planning your lunch date at an alternate time.

Once you are inside a dining center... Find a table Once you have arrived, your first step should be finding a table. It is best to do this before grabbing your food because often you may have to walk around for a bit before finding an opening. Also, do not be shy. Try sitting with a group of people you do not know. The dining center is a great place to meet new people who live near you, but not necessarily in your building.

Scope out the food The dining centers have a variety of food stations that vary from location to location. Most often they will have stations for fresh fruit and vegetables, Italian food, homestyle cooking, grilled foods, international cuisine, and desserts.

Eat in moderation When getting your food, be sure to take moderately sized servings. The dining centers recently removed all their trays, so

try getting one plate at a time to forestall the possibility of dropping your food on the floor. As well as keeping things neat, this helps you avoid overeating by limiting serving sizes.

Check nutrition labels Another way to eat healthily is to check the nutritional labels and ingredient lists shown above the food items at each station.

Don’t be greedy The dining staff will sometimes portion out food to ensure the availability of popular items. In this case, it is best to just take one portion at a time. Of course, three chicken strips will not fill you up, but by asking for an extra portion, you could be taking someone else’s portion and upsetting the amount of food prepared by the supervisors for dinner time.

After you finish your meal... Clean up Once you have filled your stomach

Health

How to keep off the freshman 15 By Lea.Petersen Daily staff writer Starting college is filled with expectations, anticipation and most importantly, freedom. However, in the land of “do as you please,” there are also real life consequences every incoming student can expect to come across. One of the most rumored and talked about consequence of becoming a freshman is the dreaded freshman 15.

Food for comfort “College is a big transition that may bring stress and many look for comfort in food,” Sally Barclay, clinician in food science and human nutrition. “That, added to a student’s newfound freedom, can mean overeating and poor food choices that lead to weight gain. College also means many social opportunities, which may add ‘empty calories.’”

Mini restaurants Jill Magnuson-Arroyo, associate director of Campus Dining Services, offers a wealth of tips for students to avoid the fated weight gain. “I view the Iowa State dining centers as an array of mini restaurants,” Magnuson-

Arroyo said. “There are culinary talents preparing menu items to order, based on the selections of the customers. Students have the opportunity to pick healthier options and ask for smaller portions.”

hours to go between eating can sometimes make student feel tired and grumpy and can lead to overeating. The average meal takes about four to five hours to digest,” Magnuson-Arroyo said.

Healthy plate

Healthy eating early

“Students need to start building a healthy plate which means filling half of their plate with fruits and vegetables, followed by a fourth of the plate consisting of lean protein choices and the remaining fourth of the plate consisting of good-foryou grains,” she said.

“Breakfast should be more than a sip of juice or a bite of toast in the morning.” Magnuson-Arroyo said. “Students should take time to plan out what they are going to eat and think about all the food groups, including fruits, low-fat milk, yogurt and cheese, healthy protein sources such as tofu, cottage cheese, lean ham and eggs — not fried, and wholesome grains like whole wheat toast, bagels and waffles,” Magnuson-Arroyo said.

Watch the clock Both Barclay and Magnuson-Arroyo emphasize eating breakfast and eating at regular intervals to maintain metabolism. “Eating consistently is key,” Barclay said. “Eat every three to five hours to prevent blood sugar swings, to maintain energy, to reduce cravings and, most importantly, eating at regular intervals has shown to improve physical and mental performance.”

Wanted: missing meals “Moreover students should not be missing meals. Allowing more than five

Satisfaction “Try to combine a carbohydrate — fruit or grain — with a protein — dairy or meat — to build a breakfast that will keep students appetite satisfied throughout the morning,” she said. For more information on eating healthy on campus, visit dining.iastate. edu. Through NetNutrition, meals can be planned in advance with full nutrition information, and many other tips can be found online as well.

Groceries

College food shopping: Stock your dorm By Lindsay MacNab AmesEats Flavors writer Everyone has heard about the dreaded “freshman 15.” Packing on the pounds while at college is certainly avoidable if you choose nutritious foods at the campus dining centers and make sure to exercise on a regular basis. But, snacking, quick bites between classes and late night study breaks can add sneaky calories between meals. Here are some great foods and beverage mixes to stock your dorm with for better snacking: Peanut butter & jelly: Sweet and filling, for those occasions when you crave a sandwich

or feel like eating a spoonful straight from the jar Cereal/instant oatmeal: These are quick and easy breakfast foods to prepare right in your dorm Trail mix: A perfect snack on-the-go, trail mix will provide you with an energy boost before your next class Popcorn: Perfect for a movie night with friends or as a light snack Nuts: feeling hungry? Grab a handful of almonds, cashews, walnuts, etc. and the protein will help you feel full until your next meal Granola bars: Both a nutritious and delicious, granola bars also have the perk of being

highly portable, if you need a snack on the go Dried fruit: Satisfy your sweet tooth with dried fruits such as apricots, cranberries, cherries, blueberries and more; all are healthier than a trip to the nearest vending machine Canned soup: If you don’t feel like trekking in the Iowa snow in order to eat at the dining center, heat up a bowl of hearty soup and enjoy Flavored drink mixes: Add flavored drink packets to your plain water and your taste buds will be bursting with a fruity sensation. You may also find you’re more tempted to drink more water throughout

the day this way Instant coffee/tea: Wake up asleep with these warm drinks Rice cakes and graham crackers: Top them off with peanut butter and chocolate chips for a simple dessert Fruit cups: Make sure to buy fruit cups with light syrup or no sugar added for the healthiest option Frozen meals: Don’t have time to sit down and eat a meal? Companies such as Lean Cuisine and Kashi make savory meals that you can microwave in just a few minutes. Munchies (pretzels, Chex mix, etc.): These are yummy snacks, but resist the temptation to eat the entire bag

owns the grill with Mark Kassis, said. “Otherwise we make all our own breads, sauces, from scratch.” Lucullan’s most popular dish is the lasagna. A favorite of owner Lowman and his recommendation is the lemon chicken with orecchiette, which is a chicken breast lemon baked served over orecchiette pasta. Lucullan’s Italian Grill is a family owned restaurant that’s been around for 33 years. “Some of our recipes are handed down from our ancestors,” Lowman said. “My partner’s family is part-Italian, and they cooked a lot of really, really delicious things and we get to put them on our menu.” Other popular local restaurants include Jeff’s Pizza and Black Market Pizza for a pizza and breadsticks. Hickory Park is perhaps Ames’ most famous local restaurant, with a large array of smoked meats and barbecue-

>>EATING GUIDE.p52 with all the delicious food ISU Dining has to offer, make sure you clean up. Dining center staff members will wipe the tables, so you don’t have to worry about that, but it is courteous to leave your table the way you found it so that during busy hours students can snag your table after your departure. Make sure all trash is picked up, and do not leave food on the table. Plates should be taken to the dish line’s conveyor belt. Most dining centers ask that you put your silverware in a separate container to speed up the process in the dish room.

Check meal plan It used to be essential to check the balance of your meal plan each week, but new revisions to meal plans make this less necessary. ISU Dining is now offering meals based on a semester total rather than a weekly total.

File photo: Kait McKinney/Iowa State Daily Students flock to Hawthorn Cafe at Frederiksen Court to try out the new options the dining center has just implemented.

Once the semester’s end draws closer, it might be a good idea to ask the checker who swipes your card how many meals you have left so that you can plan accordingly. Any

meals left over at the end of each semester will expire. Remembering these tips and suggestions is essential to your success as a dining center customer. Now that you know

the basics of dining as a college student, you can amaze your friends with your proper dining center etiquette and know-how.

Business

Local shops offer great items for residents, ISU students By Ashley.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com Incoming students may know about the common places to shop in Ames. They may not know, however, some of the local shops Ames has to offer. Places like Target, WalMart and the shops in North Grand Mall are usually the go-to places for clothing shopping in Ames. Otherwise, many students will make the trip down to Des Moines to visit Jordan Creek Mall. Many students do not know Ames itself has its own unique places, owned locally, that offer trendy clothes. According to the Ames Downtown website, for every $100 spent at a locally owned business, $68 will be returned to the community — through taxes and pay-

roll and other expenditures. However, for every $100 spent in a national chain, only $43 will stay within that local community. If you spend that money online, absolutely nothing comes back to the community. It’s easy to support our local Ames community with so many great local places to shop. If you’re looking for some great Iowa State gear at a place other than the two bookstores in Ames, Dogtown and Sigler on Main both offer a variety of options. From T-shirts and sweatshirts to cute Iowa State tanks and dresses, both are great places to look. For those looking for an outfit for the weekend, look no farther than here in Ames. Teal & Tenacious, Lyla’s Boutique & More, It’s All About Me! and Ayden Lee offer clothing items for a night on the town or accessories to spruce up your

outfit. Teal & Tenacious and It’s All About Me! are both located on Main Street. Teal & Tenacious offers a variety of women’s clothing, while It’s All About Me! offers an assortment of jewelry, handbags and purses along with cosmetic supplies. For college girls looking for a new outfit to wear the upcoming weekend, Lyla’s Boutique & More, also on Main Street, is the place to go. Kinsey Lehrkamp, manager of Lyla’s, said there is a variety of accessories, dresses, tops and bottoms offered in the shop. “A lot of people come in here looking for dresses,” Lehrkamp said. “College girls come in here when they’re looking for something to go out in that weekend

Tia Ricklefs, owner of the store, said that the store offers almost everything when it comes to clothing. “We have our own label, our own brand name, our own designs, and we also have local artists who design our jewelry and accessories.” Most popular with customers at Ayden Lee are dresses, purses and earrings. Items for men can also be found in Ames. From suits, dress shirts and ties to khakis and jeans, there is a broad assortment to choose from. “We have trendy clothes at a low price,” Ricklefs said. Who can resist that? Other great options for all types of looks include Miss Meyer’s Consignment Store and The Loft. The Loft, a popular and unique resale store, is located on Main Street. Owned by Amy and Eric Abrams and Jackie Reisetter, The Loft opened after the group purchased Duck Worth Wearing, a children and maternity resale shop. The owners then realized the need for a trendy consignment store for young adults and teenagers and opened The Loft consignment shop. The Loft carries high quality brand name clothing, at affordable prices. Brands often found at the shop include Hollister, Abercrombie & Fitch and the Gap. Shoppers can find clothes ranging from casual to formalwear and prom attire. All clothing sold at the shop is not only current but stylish as well. With people constantly bringing in their own gently-used clothing, shoppers can find something new each and every day. Another popular, stylish and trendy consignment store found in Ames is Miss Meyer’s consignment shop. This store sells consignment that fall into their guidelines of the three Cs: Current, Clean and Cute. Katherine Kerns, owner of Miss Meyer’s said it is important to shop consignment for several reasons. “You’re more conscious of the money you’re spending, and you can make your budget go further,” Kerns said. “Also, if you’re a creative person, it’s a way to mix and match brands and pieces and be able to create your own style that way.” Miss Meyer’s is a consignment store selling gently-used clothing, but upon stepping in, a shopper may not guess. “Every day we have at least one person

ask if it’s consignment because it doesn’t seem that way,” Kerns said. “It’s not just racks and racks of clothing, and it’s not your typical consignment store.” Clothing in the store is separated by colors and sizes, which makes it especially easy on those women who only have a short amount of time to shop. “I think when women go into department stores or bigger stores it gets overwhelming because they don’t have enough time to dig through everything,” Kerns said. “It’s chaotic and not organized

very well. That’s how we compete with those stores. We’re organized.” Kerns said that she believes what sets them apart from other stores, both consignment and new, is that they put a lot of time in the presentation of their clothing. “I think people love the displays at our store. It doesn’t seem like a used clothing store, it seems like a hip and trendy clothing store.” Whether you’re looking for a sporty T-shirt or an outfit for a night on the town, you can find it in Ames.

Formal recruitment

Dressing for each day of Rush By Kayla Kienzle ISD Style writer

since there’s a ton of walking during recruitment.

Planning for recruitment attire can be simple since there is a dress code. However, it’s important not to let this dress code limit your personal style. During rush, it’s especially important to stand out. I myself went through recruitment, so call these my expert tips for each day.

Day 2:

Day 1: Pair the plain “Go Greek!” shirts with your favorite pair of jeans and sandals. Crop jeggings are just right because not only are they comfortable, but they’ re also clean cut. Crops are the ideal length to show off wedges or gladiator sandals. Sturdy sandals are important

The second day’s theme is usually business-casual. Longer skirts and dresses are most appropriate. Think Michelle Obama, as adding colorful cardigans can transform dresses into business casual. A bright button down paired with a simple skirt can also perfect for this day. A pair of closed toe flats will add both class and comfort.

Day 3: Sundress day provides a great opportunity to show off personal style. Floral prints are a sure thing, and these simple dresses open up chances to

accessorize. Adding just a belt or a single piece of jewelry can spice up basic dresses

Preference night: Think chic. A cocktail dress is best, but instead of black, try

a softer option such as blush or even red. Jazz up the look with some pumps. Greeks at Iowa State follow many popular trends and love designers; even if you’re not in the mood to splurge, follow this guide.

Accessories to update a drab wardrobe By Angela.Christianson ISD Style writer A few simple and affordable pieces can give even the drabbest wardrobe a stylish update.

Printed scarf A printed scarf is a quick way to brighten up a simple T-shirt or add a pop of color to a plain tote. Tie one in your hair, loop one around

your neck, or thread one through your favorite purse handles for fresh and fun look. Costing fewer than $20 a pop, it’s a cheap and easy update for anyone.

Great-fitting jeans A great pair of jeans is essential to every wardrobe. Denim that’s comfortable, flattering and classic will seldom let you down. You probably have a pair already, but if you’re still on the hunt, look for a minimally distressed pair with a dark

wash. Skinny jeans are still very much in, but if you’re looking to step out of that box, flared legs are making a comeback.

Statement jewelry Statement jewelry instantly adds personality to any ensemble. Throw a chunky ring on with a simple sundress for a fun nighttime look, or add a wooden bangle to jeans and a T-shirt for class. It doesn’t have to be anything expensive; it’s the character that counts here.

Fashion

What your clothes say about you

College myth #48259: All students wear sweats to class everyday, and unless it’s a Saturday night, everyone looks uniformly unstylish. However, the truth is a little more complicated. On the days students do choose to dress up, there are more than several options. Here, they are broken down into bite-sized stereotypes for easy digestion.

dress smartly in clean and neat staples rather than covering yourself in the pleated, highwaisted pants of yore. Between studying at Coover Hall and weekly meetings at your dorm where you act as your floor’s treasurer, it’s hard to balance homework time and a social life while still spending that extra moment to add a little flair to your basics. However, with a little time management, even shopping for that departmental dance can be made into a science.

The Fashionista

The Athlete

Are you working on getting your Vogue subscription forwarded to Friley Hall? Have you measured the exact distance between the Memorial Union and North Grand Mall? Do you get Ayden Lee tweets on your phone? If any of these questions sound even a little reasonable, you’ll find yourself in good company. Between our top-ranked apparel programs and our several fashion publications, Iowa State’s student population is surprisingly in tune with today’s trends, and no one will bat an eye if you wear your favorite 4-inch heels to the Hub for an evening coffee.

There are a few reasons so many students go to the Lied Recreation Center: endorphins, strength-building and, probably the most relevant, looking good. But whatever your motivation for those Pilates classes or extra reps, there are a few names for you: jock, stud or elliptical queen. Dressing for class often means just throwing on a pair of sweats over some basketball shorts, but your energetic nature and most likely stunning physique sometimes can put the clothes as a second priority. Just remember, it’s not the 1990s anymore, and wearing just that sports bra will make you look like Sporty Spice. You have been cautioned.

By Ian Laughead ISD Style writer

File photo: David Derong/Iowa State Daily Jerusha Cascione browses through a clothing rack at The Loft in downtown Ames. Regardless of their style, all students can find expressive clothes in and around Ames.

The Individualist So maybe you’re not one for labels. You might be more interested in finding the newest bands at the Maintenance Shop or searching out Tumblr for inspirational images. Your skinny jeans might look a little disproportionate with your giant portfolio bag — we’re assuming you’re in the College of Design here — but you have a passion, and it’s your prerogative to share

it with the world. Whether half your head is shaved or you have a plaid shirt collection large enough to rival that of any lumberjack, you’ll be as welcomed on campus in quiet courtyards as you will be at the Vinyl Café on Kellogg Avenue.

The Smart One These days it’s hard to find a good pocket protector, but that’s not really a problem for you since you know it’s easy to

Sportsmanship

Don’t be a sports fan nobody wants around By Jeremiah Davis Daily staff writer

In my four years at Iowa State, I’ve attended my fair share of Cyclone sports events. At each of those events, I’ve witnessed plenty of Cyclone fans who are intelligent, passionate and even clever. But as at every sporting event across the country, there are invariably those fans who ruin things for the rest. So for those incoming freshmen and transfer students, here are a few things not to do when you attend a game during your time as an ISU student.

Curse loudly and often I don’t want to be your mom, but honestly, if you have to lower yourself to the fword or any of the other seven dirty words you can’t say on television, you aren’t trying hard enough. Part of the fun of being a fan is heckling the opponent, but simply shouting profanities is childish and easy. Cursing loudly and often only makes you look bad, and makes those around you uncomfortable. I promise.

Trash the officials This time-honored tradition is definitely not limited to Iowa State, but over

the course of the last few years, blaming officials for the Cyclones’ problems has become commonplace. Trust me: just because a call didn’t go Iowa State’s way doesn’t make the call wrong or mean the official is out to get the Cyclones. If you’ve ever reffed a game you know just how difficult and pressure-packed it is. They know the game much better than you do. They spend way more time studying the rules than you could ever hope to study for your classes. Yes, there are some calls that are bad and I’m not saying to accept every single thing the refs do. But don’t be the guy or girl that is constantly starting the “Ref, you suck!” chant every time a call goes against the Cyclones.

Coach the team from the stands As much as you hope you might be one day, you aren’t Paul Rhoads, Fred Hoiberg or Bill Fennelly. They know what they’re doing, so let them do it. Shouting from the stands to Scott Christopherson to play a certain way is simply annoying. And I promise you they either don’t hear you or aren’t listening to you. Think about that for a second. Do you really think those players are going to listen to someone who’s never played in Division I or been a coach in Division I? Not a chance.

So spare those around you and leave your coaching theories at home.

Be so drunk you can’t stand or speak clearly Don’t get me wrong, I’m in no way discouraging drinking in general. Tailgating is something that Iowa State holds near and dear to its heart, and something Iowa Staters have become pretty good at. But if you’re literally leaning on those around you and causing a scene, no one wants to be near you. Drinking an entire bottle of Southern Comfort before the game doesn’t make you cool, and neither does leaving it on the ground or the bleachers. So yes, by all means, tailgate and have a great time. Just stay in the tailgate lots or in your yard if you can’t stand up straight. These are just a few of the things I’ve noticed and couldn’t stand while at games myself. There are plenty other things fans do that annoy those around you, but the bottom line of it all is that people in attendance simply want to have a good time. Being the person who ruins that for others is far from desirable. Go to games, and have a great time. Give yourself a reputation as a fan that makes others happy you’re at the game with them.

Teams race to improve next year “We want to improve on our seventhplace finish,” Ihmels said. “We want to be in the top six. I think that’s the next step.”

File photo: Rebekka Brown/Iowa State Daily Dani Stack, left, and Meaghan Nelson run the 5,000-meter of the Feb. 11 ISU Classic at Lied Recreation. The pair finished fourth and third, respectively.

Last year’s team earned an eighth-place finish at nationals. The finish was in part due to the trio of Betsy Saina, Meaghan Nelson and Dani Stack, who all finished in the top 30 to become All-Americans. Stack has finished all her years of eligibility for cross-country, but Saina and Nelson will be returning this fall. “We return two All-Americans, and those two have gotten a lot better since cross-country,” said coach Corey Ihmels. Saina earned a first-place finish in the 5,000-meter at the Indoor Track and Field Championships. As of May 4, she has the world’s best outdoor 10,000-meter time this year with 31:15:97. Nelson also earned the top third collegiate 10,000-meter time in the nation. Ihmels said stepping up next season will be sophomore Morgan Casey and redshirt freshman Katy Moen.

Men’s cross-country The men had a disappointing finish to last year’s season when they did not qualify to race at nationals. Last year’s men’s team was made up of young, inexperienced runners. The team has gained experience and is only losing one runner in senior Rico Loy, who has completed his cross-country eligibility. “There’s not much expected out of them,” Ihmels said. “I think we’ve got a crew that’s coming back that can get to nationals and wants to make some noise at the conference level.” Next year’s potential leaders will be sophomore Martin Coolidge and freshman Edward Kemboi, both of whom had successful seasons last year. “This groups got the leadership and the potential athletically to get to nationals,” Ihmels said.

Golf

Departing seniors leave big holes to fill By Erik.Hendricks @iowastatedaily.com Men’s golf With the school year ending and spring sports coming to a close, the ISU men’s and women’s golf teams are looking forward to continuing its success next year. Coach Andrew Tank has eight years of experience being the assistant coach at the Minnesota. While an assistant coach, Tank was a part of many Big Ten titles. Tank said he plans on bringing many titles to Iowa State, having already accomplished a first place title at the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate in Greensboro, N.C., in his second year as coach. The men’s team only lost one senior, Nate McCoy, who has been a leader on the team and will be a hole the team is

going to have to fill. The returning starters, however, include Scott Fernandez, Sam Daley and Borja Virto. The team will have to replace McCoy and hopefully find another player to fill in its fifth spot, which has been a struggle this past year. If the team is able to do this, it will be looking at another year of high competition and a solid year.

Women’s golf Coach Christie Martens has eight years of experience with the Cyclones. In 2010, Martens signed a contract extension to coach the ISU women’s golf team through 2015. Assistant coach Pina Gentile has five years of experience with Iowa State and has been a part of all three back-to-back NCAA Regional appearances.

The women’s team is also only losing one senior at the end of this year, Kristin Paulson, who has been the leader of the team for the past few years. Her spot will not be an easy one to fill. Returning starters will be Punpaka Phuntumabamrung, Prima Thammaraks, Sasikarn On-Iam and Chonlada Chayanun. With having to replace Paulson, the team is fortunate to have had a solid rotation of five players throughout the season. With Paulson having an impact on the team, someone will have to step up into the leader role. Both teams practice at the Veenker Memorial Golf Course. During the cold winters in Iowa, the golf teams are fortunate to have Veenker, which has a driving range that allows the teams to hit golf

balls all year long. “It is an important part of our offseason being able to practice there,” Tank said. “The ability to hit golf balls 365 days of the year is huge for us to compete against the southern schools.”

Football

2011 victories build energy for fall play

File photo: Iowa State Daily Quarterback Jared Barnett, right, hands the ball off to running back James White during Iowa State’s annual spring game at Jack Trice Stadium. The Cardinal team beat the Gold team 13-7.

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Home football games will continue to be one of the main attractions for students this fall, a year removed from what many considered to be the most exciting season for ISU football in years. Last season, Iowa State’s six home games averaged an attendance of more than 50,000 for the first time in school history, with the games against Northern Iowa, Iowa and Texas all overtaking each other, respectively, as the second-highest attended game in school history. Students stormed the field after upset overtime victories against Iowa (Sept. 10) and Oklahoma State (Nov. 18) — the latter was televised during ESPN’s primetime. This season, the team will host seven opponents — four of which (No. 13 Baylor, No. 15 Kansas State, No. 16 Oklahoma and No. 17 West Virginia) finished in the final AP Top 25 poll last season — for the first

time since 2010. “Any time you get a chance to play more games at Jack Trice Stadium than you do on the road, it’s a positive to begin with,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads in February. “We’re anxious and excited about that opportunity, especially in the league having five home games compared to four on the road.” Iowa State will also be playing Texas Christian and West Virginia for the first time ever as conference opponents this season. The Cyclones will

play TCU Oct. 6 in Fort Worth, Texas, and host West Virginia in their first-ever matchup for the season finale on Nov. 24. After finishing 6-7 last season following their 27-13 loss to Rutgers in the Pinstripe Bowl, the Cyclones’ biggest question for August is who will be starting at quarterback between Jared Barnett, Steele Jantz and Sam Richardson. Rhoads said despite Richardson’s progression through spring, he is still behind Barnett and Jantz — both

of whom shared starting duties last season — in the race for the No. 1 spot at quarterback. Running backs James White and Jeff Woody will be returning, having split most of the ball-carrying duties last season. Senior receiver Josh Lenz is another key returning starter, having amassed 510 receiving yards last season — the most of any returning offensive player. On defense, linebackers Jake Knott and A.J. Klein will anchor the unit in what will be their senior season at Iowa State. Knott and Klein have combined for nearly 25 percent of the team’s total tackles the past two seasons. Safety Jacques Washington and cornerback Jeremy Reeves are the returning starters on the defensive secondary, while nose tackle Jake McDonough is the only returning starter on the defensive line. The Cyclones’ first game will be on Sept. 1 when they host Tulsa. Kickoff time will be determined at a later date.

Athletics

Celebrate cardinal, gold traditions By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Hilton Magic — After the Cyclones beat No. 3 Missouri on Feb. 14, 1989, a sportswriter for the Des Moines Register, Buck Turnbull, headlined an article, “Hilton Magic Spells ‘Upset’ One More Time.” The moniker “Hilton Magic” would take off from there. When former Cyclone Fred Hoiberg returned to Iowa State to coach in April 2010, he called for the return of the “magic” of previous years. As the Cyclones knocked off two top-10 teams at Hilton during the 2011-12 season, Hoiberg saw that hope come to life. “I definitely saw the return of Hilton Magic this past season,” Hoiberg said in an earlier interview the Daily. “Our fans were a huge part of the suc-

cess we had. The Kansas and Baylor games were special seeing the fans rush the court.” Cy — Since Sept. 28, 1895, Iowa State has been the Cyclones. After the ISU football team scored 36 unanswered points against Northwestern University, a sportswriter for the Chicago Tribune wrote: “Struck by a Cyclone … Northwestern might as well have tried to play football with an Iowa cyclone as with the Iowa team it met yesterday. At the end of 50 minute’s play the big husky farmers from Iowa’s Agricultural College had rolled up 36 points, while 15 yard line was the nearest Northwestern got to Iowa’s goal.” In October 1954, the mascot Cy was unveiled as a cardinal, in reference to the school’s colors of cardinal and gold.

Swimming and diving

New season opens new chapters By Travis.Cammon @iowastatedaily.com The head swimming coach is Duane Sorenson, who has been a fixture at Iowa State, coaching the team for 16 seasons. Sorenson has compiled a 84-70 (.545) record during his time coaching the Cyclones. Sorenson is accompanied by diving coach Jeff Warrick who has been the head coach of the divers for 14 years. Warrick has coached 31 Cyclone men’s and women’s divers to the NCAA Zone Diving Championships. The swimmers will be led by Imelda Wistey, a former transfer from Grinnell. Wistey made her ISU debut and shined

in her first season as a Cyclone, competing in the 200 medley relay, 200 free relay, 200 IM, 400 medley relay, 100 breast, 200 breast and 400 free relay at the Big 12 Championships. Wistey finished eighth in the 100-meter breast at the Big 12 Championships with a time of 1:01.97, moving her to third in the event in school history and tying her for the team lead with 22 event wins on the season (14 individual, eight relay). The divers will be led by Jessica Henderson who finished 36th on 1-meter and 39th on 3-meter at the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships. Henderson set a new career high in on 3-meter last season and will be a team captain for the 2012-13 season. Last sea-

son was the first year Henderson was able qualify for Zone. The women’s swimming and diving team practices and competes at Beyer Hall. Iowa State has traditionally struggled in conference play, having never finished higher than fourth in the Big 12 tournament. Last season, the Cyclones finished last at the Big 12 Championships, scoring a total of only 328 points — 104 points behind the next closest team. The upcoming season marks a new chapter for the Cyclones as the new conference realignment will take effect, and Texas Christian and West Virginia will enter the Big 12 conference.

Volleyball

Top honors make 2011-12 a banner year Trip to Elite Eight shows talent among players By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com A trip to the Elite Eight last year marks the second in four years and the sixth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament for the Cyclones under coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. The Cyclones finished the season 25-6 and second in the Big 12, going 13-3. It was only the second time in ISU history the volleyball team recorded 25 wins. The ISU volleyball team has been one of the best and most consistent programs at Iowa State during the past decade. Behind the lead of Christy Johnson-Lynch, the Cyclones have a combined record of 150-73 (.673). Last year was another banner year for Iowa State. Setter Alison Landwehr was named an American Volleyball Coaches Association firstteam All-American. Senior outside hitter Carly Jenson

finished her career earning the honor of second-team AllAmerican while libero Kristen Hahn and middle blocker Jamie Straube were named All-American honorable mentions. As for Big 12 awards, the Cyclones were up and down

the roster of top honors. Libero Kristen Hahn was named the Big 12 Libero of the Year as only a sophomore and in her first year of starting. On the Big 12 first team, Straube, Landwehr and Jenson were all unanimous selections. Coming into the 2012

season, Iowa State is adding seven freshmen — including four top-50 recruits, three Under Armour All-Americans and two junior national’s champions. For one of the bright spots in ISU athletics, the future certainly looks even brighter.

Wrestling

Young team gains experience with new season’s recruits By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com For a team with eight national championships to its history, a 4-13 dual record is far from the most ideal season outcome. That outcome, however, was reality for the ISU wrestling team during the 2011-12 season. There was some upside for the team, though, as a total of 10 wrestlers who hit the mat throughout the season were classified as true or redshirt freshmen. When the Cyclones get back on the mat for the upcoming 2012-13 season, those wrestlers will do so with more experience and a few new highly touted teammates. One of those teammates will be John Meeks, a four-time high school champion

Men’s basketball

Coaches shoot to fill void after departures By Jeremiah Davis @iowastatedaily.com After seven years of no postseason berths, the ISU men’s basketball team returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2011-12 on the strength of the play of forward Royce White. Now, moving into 201213, the team loses White, who declared for the NBA draft in April, as well as guards Scott Christopherson and Chris Allen, players who played a key role in the Big 12 conference schedule and postseason play. To help fill the void, coach Fred Hoiberg recruited former Michigan State point guard Korie Lucious, as well as former Utah forward Will Clyburn to transfer in and potentially fill the roles that the outgoing seniors filled in 2011-12. Add to that highly-touted recruit Georges Niang, and the Cyclones are hoping to pick up right where they left off. Hoiberg and his staff have said repeatedly they are building towards something big,

and should the team continue the success it had in 2011-12, the coach and his staff believe it is possible. If new students weren’t aware, the Cyclones play their games in Hilton Coliseum, the

home of “Hilton Magic,” which many believe returned this season. The “Magic” refers to the effect the Hilton crowd has on the games, as evidenced by upsets of then-No. 5 Kansas, and

After being the No. 1 recruit in the nation when he finished his senior year at Apple Valley High School in Minnesota, McCauley decided to take a year off to train for the United State’s 2012 Olympic wrestling team before heading to Wisconsin. But McCauley withdrew his intent to wrestle at Wisconsin.

When coach Jackson announced his incoming 2012 class, McCauley’s name was included. “He’s ready to step right in and perform at the very highest level,” Jackson said of McCauley at the time. “For us

The Big 12 Conference will for sure have four members for wrestling in the upcoming season including Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma and, the newest addition, West Virginia. Prior to his first meet in a cardinal and gold singlet, redshirt freshman Ryak Finch spoke highly of the ISU wrestling tradition. “If you look at the greats that have worn this singlet and wrestled for Iowa State, it’s a huge honor,” Finch said before his first meet. “I’m just really excited after a long year of redshirting to finally strap it on and just make sure I’m keeping the tradition alive.” When the young team steps back on the mat for the upcoming season, they will give it another try.

Women’s basketball

Fennelly enters 25th year as coach By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com ISU women’s basketball coach Bill Fennelly is statistically one of the most successful coaches to coach in Ames, Iowa. When the Cyclones started the Big 12 conference season 0-5 last year, there were doubts that the team would earn a berth to the postseason. After a second-half turnaround and just two losses in the month of February, the team advanced to its sixth-consecutive NCAA Tournament. Fennelly enters his 25th season at the helm, after finishing 18-13 last year and has just one losing season out of the previous 24. Senior Chelsea Poppens returns following her breakout season in her junior campaign.

The Applington, Iowa, native averaged 14.2 points per game and 10.6 rebounds en route to her unanimous All-Big 12 First Team selection and All-America honorable mention honors. She also led the conference in rebounds over Baylor’s NCAA Player of the Year, Brittney Griner. Iowa State also will return All-Big 12 Freshman Team point guard Nikki Moody, who averaged 10 points per game and set the Iowa State assists record with 133. Along with Moody and Poppens, the Cyclones return the other two posts in junior Hallie Christofferson, who averaged 10.2 points per game, and senior Anna Prins, who averaged almost eight points per game and puled down 109 rebounds. The new season’s Cyclones

Men’s track and field

New track facility builds excitement By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com The 2012-13 academic year at Iowa State will not only bring a new class of track and field athletes but also a brandnew track and field facility located near Wallace and Wilson residence halls and the Southwest Athletic Complex. ISU track and field was without its own facility due to the demolition of the old track in the Southwest Athletic Complex and was relocated to the Ames High School track to share practices with its track and field team. That, however, is in the past as Iowa State’s new facility will be finished in time for next season. “It’s exciting to get a new facility,” said coach Corey Ihmels in March. “Anytime you get anything new, you’re going to be excited about it, and I think ... it’s going to be a first class facility.” Since arriving at Iowa State in 2005, Athletics Director Jamie Pollard has overseen many facility upgrades at Iowa State including the Sukup Basketball Facility, the new football offices scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2012 and now the new track facility. Ihmels said everything Pollard has

overseen since arriving at Iowa State has been first-class, and that is what he expects the track facility to be as well. “It’s just exciting for us to have a facility that we can call our own and host an outdoor meet and eventually host a conference meet,” Ihmels said. “It’s something that we can take recruits to when it’s brand-new and shiny and that helps.” The track and field facility will also be spectator-friendly with seating to support a large crowd for Cyclone track and field meets to support returning runners such as seniors Daniel Gruber and Ian Warner as well as junior standout Edward Kemboi.

Running his final season in an Iowa State uniform in 2013 will be senior Ian Warner. Warner, a native of Markham, Ontario, proved to be a strong asset to the Cyclone sprinters in the 2012 indoor and outdoor seasons. During the indoor season, Warner ran personal best times in the 60- meter dash (6.70) and the 200- meter dash (21.47). Both personal bests came at the Bill Bergan Invitational at the ISU indoor track facility at Lied Recreation Center. At the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championship in College Station, Texas, Warner garnered All-Big 12 honors finishing third in the 60- meter dash and seventh in the 200- meter dash. During the outdoor season, Warner has once again been a steady competitor for the Cyclones. At the Big 12 Outdoor Track and Field Championship in Manhattan, Kan., Warner placed fourth in the 100- meter dash with a personal best time of 10.13 seconds. That time ranks him second in Iowa State history for pure time in that event. Warner qualified for the NCAA West Regional in the 100- meter dash as well as the 200- meter dash and in the 4x100 meter relay. Warner will be back again for Iowa State in 2013 and appears to be hitting his stride at the right time setting himself up for a strong senior campaign for the Cyclones.

Women’s track and field

Runners race toward universal goals By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com Next season, the ISU women’s track and field team will be headed by coach Corey Ihmels. Ihmels will be in his sixth year of coaching the track program at Iowa State. Ihmels has a variety of coaches that help him maintain the program. Such individuals include: assistant coach and distance coach Travis Hartke, sprints and hurdles coach Nate Wiens, multi-events and jumps coach Pete Herber, throwing coach Grant Wall, and volunteer coaches Kristy Popp and Benji Wetli. The headline for the women’s indoor season was distance runner Betsy Saina winning the women’s 5,000-meter run at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Meaghan Nelson and Dani Stack also were competi-

tors at the national competition. During the outdoor season, the women’s track and field team spent its time and effort training for the Olympic Trails in June. While the trials were not the only things the runners were striving for, it was a universal goal among the athletes. The women were ranked numerous times within the top-25 national polls and even ranked as high as 14th at one point. The women’s team has a focused and hungry mindset going into the 2012-13 season. Most runners are part of the ISU cross-country team, therefore athletes plan to stay in shape transitioning from one sport to another. The ISU women’s track and field team has a long line of history, ranging from conference championships to national champions.

Soccer

Players welcome changes in Big 12, freshmen recruits By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com For Cyclone fans who do not want to spend the big bucks to see the football or basketball teams play, the ISU soccer team is a cheap alternative. Coach Wendy Dillinger enters her fifth season at the helm, and with new assistant coach Tony Minatta, the team prepares for another season but with a new home. The Cyclones have played their previous seasons at the ISU Soccer Complex behind the Lied Recreation Center. This August, Dillinger and company move to the Cyclone Sports Complex outside the Wallace and Wilson residence halls. Missouri and Texas A&M left the conference during the realignment this past year, but Texas Christian and West Virginia bring in new competition that will give the Big 12 soccer scene a new look. The ISU team returns four of its topfive scorers from 2011, including former walk-on Jennifer Dominguez. Dominguez finished with five goals last season, with Brittany Morgan and Kaeli Flaska each finishing with four. Iowa State returns all of its players with the exception of four graduating seniors. Mary Kate McLaughlin and Emily Hejlik are two of those four and were fouryear starters for the cardinal and gold. All four graduating seniors leave holes

in the roster that the younger players will need to fill. McLaughlin is one who always made her presence known on the field and her aggressive style of play will be missed. However, with a 25-player roster, Dillinger said she has someone in mind who might be able to fill the void. “Ashley Johnson is the player we recruited to replace Mary Kate, to fill her

shoes,” Dillinger said after the team’s final game last season. “She’s got great size, good presence. She’s strong; she’s solid. She has all the tools to do that job so we’re going to spend the spring developing her and getting her ready to take over that role in the fall.” Admission is free to the games and occasionally there are promotional freebies for those who attend.

Hockey

A ‘rebuilding year’ proves successful By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com The ISU hockey team is led to the ice by coach Al Murdoch, who will be entering his 44th season at Iowa State this fall. Murdoch is the only college-level hockey coach with more than 1,000 wins to his name. Last season was supposed to be a “rebuilding year” for

the Cyclones as they had a lot of young talent join the team after losing five seniors from the year before. Despite planning for a rebuilding year, the Cyclones made the ACHA national tournament after missing out on the tournament for the first time in the history of the team during the previous season and finished the season ranked No. 11. The Cyclones were helped

on the scoreboard last season in large part by their young talent — the top four scorers on the team were freshmen and sophomores. Freshman J.P. Kascsak led the team in scoring with 25 goals and 19 assists for a total of 44 points. James Buttermore, also a freshman, scored 18 goals and had 23 assists for a total of 41 points. Sophomore Jon Feavel had

20 goals and 20 assists for a total of 40 points in the 2011-12 season. After losing just one senior from last season — former captain Brian Rooney — the Cyclones have a lot of the same young talent coming back for the 2012-13 season. The Cyclones play their home games Friday and Saturday nights at the Ames/ ISU Ice Arena between September and March.

Baseball

Club aims to transform practices By Emily.Hejlik @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Club Baseball team plays at Cap Timm Field, right next to the softball stadium. Current coach is Aaron Hinnah is a senior and will be replaced by an experienced player next season. The team will graduate four seniors: Aaron Ruff, Phil Johnson, Ben Butler and Hinnah. Reliance on camaraderie has been key this season. “We are looking to complete a transformation process from old to the new,” Hinnah said. “Last year we struggled with poor work ethic and bad attitudes, but we have already begun taking the proper strides to be competitive right away this year.” Youth has proved to be instrumental to success as well. “We are probably one of the youngest teams in the [National Club Baseball

Association] this year and this is to our advantage,” Hinnah said. “With a fresh start, young talent and an interminable amount of energy, we will turn a lot of heads this season.” The squad competes in the NCBA — a national athletic association, like the NCAA for

college athletes. A “club” team is the same as a Division I varsity sport, except the baseball team is not funded through the athletic department. Club teams form in two ways — one is lack of funding to field a team or due to the Title IX restrictions, as was

the case with Iowa State. The other way club teams form is when schools that have a varsity team choose to field a second team, such as the University of Iowa. The Cyclones compete in the Mid-AmericaNorth Conference, consisting of Iowa, South Dakota, Northern Iowa and Minnesota State-Mankato. The team that wins conference qualifies for a regional against another conference winner. The champion of the regional will go on to the club World Series. New additions of Daniel Clements, Dillan Dwyer, Adam Fichter, Austin Fichter, Mitch Gerber, Dalton Hauer, Josh Hetzler, Spencer Maroo, Kyle Martin, Cody Rickard, Adam Schmidt, Kyle Tegeler, Kyle Tjossem. Nick Wells will be looked upon to help lead the team next season.

Gymnastics

New season brings ‘great competition’ By Isaac.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com

File photo: Rebekka Brown/Iowa State Daily Head coach Jay Ronayne celebrates with Michelle Shealy after her participation in the bars during the Jan. 20 meet against Nebraska.

Iowa State is experiencing changes in sports due to the Big 12 conference changes during the past few years. For gymnastics, scheduling and competition do not have as big of an impact. In this sport, scoring big points is more heavily emphasized rather than winning and losing. Iowa State may be without rivals Nebraska and Missouri on the schedule next year, but that will not stop the team from facing tough competition. Coach Jay Ronayne is looking forward to facing former six-time national champion UCLA. “If you compete against great competition, it helps your team get better,” Ronayne said. “Next year we’re going to some places we don’t

normally go.” Returning one junior, six sophomores, one freshman and bringing in six recruits in 2012, the team can use the experience. ISU gymnastics may be losing three of its top senior performers, but the bounceback should not take long. Former team captain Michelle Browning has been a leader of the team since she came to campus and losing that leadership will be hard to replace. However, Browning said she is not worried about how the team will do without her and the other seniors. The ISU coaches’ resumes are endless, along with a returning cocaptain in Elizabeth Stranahan and a huge 2012 junior class. Which such consistency, the Cyclones most likely will be back in the top 25, a place where they have made themselves comfortable in the past seasons.

Freshman Lexi Slater was batting .271 as of May 1 and had started all 47 games to that point in the season. Sophomore Taylor Smith led the Cyclones with a 5.86 ERA as of May 1. The ISU softball team has not posted a winning record since the 1994-95 season. It finished 2011-12 at the bottom of the Big 12 (14-33, 2-16 Big 12 as of May 1) and was near the bottom of the conference in team batting, pitching and fielding. The Cyclones had the most underclassmen in the Big 12 in 2011-12, some of whom were key contributors. These underclassmen, including Slater, Jorden Smith and Sara Davison, will have another year of experience under their belts.

Tennis

Close matches push team toward wins By Michael.Schmitt @iowastatedaily.com

ISU tennis matches are always a fun event to watch. Tennis is a sport for people of all ages to enjoy, and the ISU women’s tennis team can be family fun for everyone. While the team only had five home meets this year, next year there will be 11. The Cyclones have started to see some success as of late — after not winning a conference meet from 2002 to 2008, they have won six in the past four years. The future also looks bright for the Cyclones. The 2011-12 team was led by then-freshmen Meghan Cassens and Ksenia Pronina last season and the pair will be back along with seniors Simona Cacciuttolo and Jenna Langhorst. The team is coached by Armando Espinosa, along with assistant coach Rod Puebla. They compete at the Ames Racquet and Fitness Center or at the Forker Tennis Courts, depending on the weather. Next year, the Cyclones will be hoping

to improve from a 4-19 season that could have been drastically different if they had been able to win some close matches, having had six matches they lost 4-3. “We have to go out there and believe in ourselves and believe that we can win,”

Puebla said. “We have to get over the hump that we can win one doubles point, and we’ll be fine.” If the team can improve on winning close matches, the 2012-13 season could be a whole lot better.
