Eyes toward the skies for rare transit of Venus
The 2012 transit of Venus, an anomaly that will not happen again until 2117, occurred June 5. During the transit, Venus, shown as a small black dot, passed directly in front of the sun for more than six hours. The act of passing in front of the sun can only be achieved
by Venus and Mercury, as they are the only planets between Earth and the sun. In order to view the transit, eye protection and/or a filter-equipped telescopes were required.

Board of Regents decides to end tuition set-asides
The Iowa Board of Regents announced Wednesday its aim to end the tuition setaside program within the next five years. The program, which sets aside tuition revenue for financial aid, had recently come under fire by various legislators and members of the public. The board recognized the need for a state program for Iowa students in need of financial assistance but believed there should be a different way to provide this aid. The decision to end the program in the next five years was spurred on to do it right through refocusing and collecting money, as the board acknowledged the need to keep education accessible to all Iowans. The Regents also called upon university presidents to work with their respective foundations to accomplish this goal.

One-on-one with Jennifer Carne By Aimee.Burch @iowastatedaily.com Summers are great times for students to take advantage of the many study abroad programs Iowa State offers. Trips to various locales abound for those looking to spend days, weeks, even months at a time studying in a different land. Jennifer Carne is a third-year veterinary medicine student who has participated in many study abroad trips. She sat down with the Daily to discuss these adventures, to share lessons learned and to dispense advice to fellow students.
How did you get involved with these different trips? When I came to visit ISU during my interview weekend, there was an exhibit fair going on where I saw the [Committee for International Veterinary Opportunities] booth. As an undergrad I lived in London for three or four months and loved the idea of seeing different animals in their natural habitats. That day, [the committee] was showing the different opportunities available for summer of 2010 where you could learn the culture and work with native animals.
Where have you gone, and where will you be going? I went on two trips in 2011 — South Africa and Australia. The South Africa trip was for 16 days, where we stayed on a game reserve in tents. During the day, we would go on game drives and the guide would show us how they tracked different species. We also saw different immobilization techniques where you have to treat animals as quickly as possible to monitor vitals and give relief so the animal is not sedated for long. We learned a lot about animal transport and the history of South Africa. For instance, most of the animals and reserves are privately owned and the animals can be traded or sold to different reserves. South Africa also has national parks. We went to the Addo Elephant Park, and I couldn’t tell you how many elephants we saw that day, maybe 50 to 100. A few of us also went on what is called a “pre-trip” before our official program began. We got to participate in research projects with monkeys and cape parrots. It was a lot of hands-on animal work. In Australia, we got to do a little more sightseeing and worked in wildlife hospitals. I worked with kangaroos, wallabys and wallaroos, which I didn’t even know existed. We got to learn about native Australian wildlife and do post-mortem dissections, where we saw the internal structure and had to determine the cause of death. We had time for more touristy things, like how we spent a night on a boat in the Great Barrier Reef and snorkeled.
Photo courtesy of Jennifer Carne Jennifer Carne, a third-year veterinary medicine student, has traveled to big game reserves in South Africa and wildlife hospitals in Australia through summer study abroad programs. She plans to study abroad in Jordan this summer to visit animal shelters and farms.
In a few days, I’ll be leaving with a group for Jordan. We’ll get to interact with their students and see how their learning style is similar or different from ours here in the States. We’ll work at an animal shelter and see their different farming techniques. We’re also planning to do touristy stuff, like visit Petra and the Red Sea.
Any favorite memories or memorable moments? In South Africa we got to work on a cat wildlife preserve where we interacted with cheetahs. We would take them on what’s called “sunset walks” and we would walk them around similar to how you would walk a dog. I would take Chaka and Thandi and spend time with them and they would just walk and relax. You could pet these cheetahs. On one walk, a car drove by and the cheetah wanted to chase after it just like a dog would want to.
Why do you do what you do? What motivates you to go on these trips?
I have a love of travel. I have been to 47 of the 50 states. With these trips I get to go to foreign countries and learn more about my interests. It’s like hitting the jackpot and combining my two loves.
What are your future plans? Vet med is a four year program. It’s three years of classroom and the fourth year consists of two week rotations. Some are required, and then you get to choose from a list of selectives. I’m planning to do tracking of large and small animals for one. I have a passion for exotic animals, so I’m going to do a double rotation — four weeks — in the Florida Keys with a vet down there who works in private practice, zoos and rescues. I’ll also go to Hawaii to study marine mammals, which is something I have not had much experience with previously. I’ll start my third year in August, so I’ve got two more years of school. After school, I’ll probably go into mixed practice but probably not in the Midwest. I have my heart set on the Carolinas.

ISD road trip: Story City By Frances.Myers @iowastatedaily.com With all the things summer has to offer, occasionally you may come across that day where you miraculously have nothing to do and actually are experiencing some boredom. Or maybe you just have a couple hours with nothing to do, and you have to be back for work or another function in the evening. You don’t want to go all the way to Des Moines, but you don’t want to hang around Ames either. So what to do? Well… there is always Story City.

For this trip, the Daily checked out the famed carousel of Story City. The 1913 antique wooden carousel is in North Park, conveniently located next to the swimming pool and the tennis courts. No worries, it’s not just for little kids. “We have many different ages come in on different days,” said Zachary Stewart, a second-year employee of the carousel. “Just last weekend we had Scandinavian Days, and it was varied. Younger children were coming in earlier in the day, and we saw a lot of college-aged people later in

For food, we checked out a local café just down the road on Broad Street, Dinners by Dawn. They serve breakfast starting at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, and for lunch there is always a daily special. Dinner is served until 8 p.m. on Wednesday through Friday.

Editorial
ISU must stay true to responsibility As one inheritor of the land-grant legacy, it is imperative that the leaders of Iowa State University remember our educational mission: to teach both the practical arts, such as agriculture and engineering, as well as the classical arts, such as politics, history and literature, in order to achieve the ultimate goal of making whole the character of the individual. Today, however, we are confronted with an insidious and pernicious dichotomy that arises from too much collaboration between a university and its corporate partners and results in the contamination of both worlds. As stated in the Morrill Act of 1862, the responsibility of land-grant institutions such as Iowa State is to educate students in Editorial Board
“agriculture and the mechanic arts.” Iowa State has done much to uphold that responsibility. More than 150 years after its founding, Iowa State still educates nearly half of its students in agriculture, engineering and hard sciences, employing just under half its faculty in those areas. As institutions whose “leading object” is “to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts,” land-grant institutions are supposed to do so “without excluding other scientific and classical studies.” At the heart of this matter is the prospect of failing to maintain the responsibility of universities, such as Iowa State, to serve the national interest by independently investigating scientific solutions to the

problems of the day, in addition to maintaining classical standards of education. In keeping with teaching “such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts,” President Steven Leath, according to three recent reports, is eager to get involved with Capital Crossroads, a Des Moines association of businesses, to build a research corridor between Des Moines and Ames like North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park. According to the Business Record, “Leath’s vision includes utilizing the university’s skilled labor force and its access to technology to help existing businesses and create new ones,” which it should.

matter lies in the close associations that would be built between Iowa State and the companies involved in the corridor. The “constant dialogue with Des Moines business leaders in order to understand the business community’s needs” Leath wants is important, but answering “scientific questions [companies] don’t want to spend the time or staff to answer” would endanger our commitment to an educational balance between classical and practical learning. Leath explained new-faculty expansion in the next few years (to the tune of
200 members) would be “organized hires, cluster hires, so we can really make an impact” in such fields as biotechnology, agricultural technology, metals, communications and others. One way Leath plans to finance those faculty positions is through private companies and grants. We should avoid assuming the guise of major for-profit corporations’ research and development wings, yet Leath’s ambitions signal a shift from the fundamental beliefs of Justin Morrill, who believed people are the agents of change and colleges exist for the sake of people — both its students and its
outside communities. Leath’s plans imply belief that the way forward for our university is through collaboration with profit-motivated corporations. Solving contemporary agricultural and industrial economic problems of the day was one of the aims of the Morrill Act. But as a public institution, we also have a public responsibility to pursue civilizational progress for its own sake, without regard to money making. We cannot risk shirking or neglecting our educational mission to all fields for the sake of corporate sponsorships and being able to bill ourselves as an
important job creator. We cannot forget that Education, in all disciplines, regardless of how profitable or popular the subject — from literature to forestry to materials engineering and everything else — is the great
object and reason for Iowa State’s existence. Our university was founded on the belief that practical and classical educations could be combined in a union under one institution. We cannot now, 150 years later, construct
a false dichotomy between technical training and scholasticism that undermines the unity of our academic role as a university and therefore fails to ensure that we deliver a whole, complete education.

Summer swimwear makes a big splash Classic, modern designs play into the new vogue By Lizzy.Krugler @iowastatedaily.com Fun in the sun — when the temperatures are high, the sun is bright and swimwear is the only thing on the mind. Every year, new trends surface and resurface in the world of swimwear. Whether you are excited about baring it all or dreading removing that coverup, there is still some excitement about searching for the perfect swimsuit to sport all summer. This year, the motto seems to be “less is more,” and styles are moving
away from the standard traditional bikini to more creative approaches. The top trends include retro reference, flattering silhouettes, prints and embellishments, and bursts of color. A trend resurfacing this summer is the retro look. While iconic women like Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy ignited the trend, the classic pin-up look is returning in all avenues of fashion this summer. High-waisted bottoms and retro one-pieces offer attention-grabbing pieces that don’t show as much skin as alternatives. High-waist bottoms are excellent for covering more of the waist as they sit higher than most swim bottoms. They are perfect for adding more coverage, but are great for anyone wanting to show off their curves.
This look has become consistently popular, and stores like J.Crew have a collection of suits, including a two-piece sporting high-waist bottoms. Asymmetrical suits are emerging, providing pleasing looks for every body type. One-shoulder styles diverge the eye from other areas of the body creating an illusion. This has carried over from other types of clothing into swimwear this season. Another illusion-creating suit is one-piece suits with cutouts. This offers a chic alternative to the original one-piece, but shows off more skin. A wide variety of asymmetrical suits at an affordable price can be found at Forever 21. Swimsuits with cutouts

Crochet and fringe give off easygoing vibes, ideal for any beach. Paired with cutoff shorts, fringe and crochet suits can pass as a trendy top for a day in the sun. Fringe suits come in a variety of colors and patterns, and can be found online at Everythingbutwater.com. The crochet suits give off a more Bohemian look, coming in one-piece and two-piece suits , and can be found at Nordstrom’s.

Prints, varying in styles and colors, will always be popular in swimwear. Swimsuits with prints, whether animal print, floral print or the increasingly popular tribal print, are all fashionable. One reason prints have established themselves as a mainstay is because prints are eye-catching and flattering on almost every body type. These types of patterns are popular, but the newest thing added to these trends is color. A burst of color added to any print provides a feminine feel to any suit. There are many styles and colors to choose from this summer, but don’t be afraid to try something new and daring before you take that next trip to the beach or pool.

Hurdlers prepare for nationals
By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com As they sat and discussed their relationship, the two track stars tried to hold back the smiles. But laughter filled the room as senior Kianna Elahi and junior Ese Okoro shared their memories of the past season. The two said they have grown in different ways that
have helped them compete and become better people. However, Elahi said it has not always been that way. “At first, I felt a really big need to socialize with [Okoro],” Elahi said. “I liked her, but I would get mad at her during practices because I felt threatened by her. But then I started liking her.” Okoro said she never knew Elahi was frightened by her.
Okoro said she just wanted to be friendly with everybody. Sprints and hurdles coach Nate Wiens agreed with Okoro’s statement. He said that when she first arrived on her visit to Iowa State, everyone loved her. “When Ese came in this year, it was the icing on the cake,” Wiens said. “That was the perfect personality to really bring the whole group
together.” Throughout the season, the 400-meter hurdles have been frequently dominated by the ISU duo. The two Cyclones have progressed through the postseason ranks and are now on their way to competing in the NCAA Outdoor Championships. “Every practice, we cheer each other on, and we’re all on
the same page,” Okoro said. “We’re all together, like when we push. When one person goes, everyone else goes. You don’t want to be left behind.” Elahi agreed with Okoro and said as far as training and an athletic standpoint goes, Okoro was a superb addition. “Ese’s been a really good training partner,” Elahi said. “Having a good training partner makes you better, so I’m
grateful that she came.” Elahi said the two of them, along with the other two hurdlers they worked with — Krista Shoeman and Donnise Powell — connected on a spiritual level, which helped the entire team become closer to one another. Elahi said her teammates were always encouraging

for nationals. With the other two hurdlers gone, Elahi said practice has been a little different. “It’s kind of lonely. I’m really glad we still have each other at this point in the season, but it was really nice to have all of us here,” Elahi said. Wiens said the postseason time frame is always interesting.

who will be advancing during the postseason or how far an athlete will go. “The last two weeks have been pretty enjoyable for me. Not because we lost people, but because for the last two or three years, it has just been me and Kianna training,” Wiens said. “But to have one more person to be with, to train with — it’s making it
more enjoyable, for them and for me.” As the ISU track and field teams head around the final turn and down the front stretch, there is still work to be done. With the outdoor championships and Olympic Trials in their crosshairs, these Cyclones will continue to build their friendships and their confidence.

Basketball
Photo: Kendra Plathe/Iowa State Daily Melvin Ejim will be a junior next season for the ISU men’s basketball team after averaging 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game during the 2011-12 season. He will spend the coming weeks training with the Nigerian national men’s basketball team in hopes of making his Olympic dreams a reality.
Ejim seeks Olympic opportunity in Nigeria By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Holding the Nigerian flag, Melvin Ejim smiles wide, his national pride and family heritage showing through. A native of Toronto, Ontario, it is not easy to place Ejim as being Nigerian, yet because of his family’s past, he feels part of both worlds. “As much as I’m Canadian — a lot of people don’t know that I’m just as much Nigerian,” he said. “Both of my parents are from Nigeria, and my entire family is Nigerian. Me and my brothers and cousins are first-generation Canadian, so we go farther Nigerian than we do Canadian.” Through the month of June, Ejim will be one of 15 players trying out to make the Nigerian national basketball team. He said the opportunity came from an act of kindness, after Vaughan Daley, a basketball trainer in the Toronto area, talked with the Nigerian coaches. “This is one of those things where it just kind of panned out,” Daley said. “A conversation to look at having him maybe train
Everyone wants to play for their country, and I kind of feel like I have two countries.” Melvin Ejim with the Nigerian national team in the summer, just to get the training, turned into a huge opportunity.” Now Ejim hopes to have an opportunity to play in the London Olympics, many years after the idea of him playing basketball was first debated.
Starting in the game of basketball Elizabeth Omoghan, Ejim’s mother, was not sure about him playing basketball; the travel and the cost were both worries. When her brother David Omoghan approached her with the idea, she initially shook it off.
“He said, ‘You know what, if you’re not interested, I’m going to take him myself,’” Elizabeth said. “That’s when I knew he was really serious about [Melvin playing basketball.]” With his family’s support, Ejim began to play during the seventh grade. Playing for a team in the Amateur Athletic Union after his first year of high school in Canada, Melvin began garnering interest from high school coaches at boarding schools on the U.S. East Coast. His mother did not believe it. “He said when he went to the States, there was a coach that really was interested in him and would like him to go to school there, and I looked at him and said, ‘Ah, that’s not true,’” Elizabeth said. “And he goes, ‘Mom, I’m serious.’” When the calls kept coming, a future in basketball began to look promising. During his sophomore year of high school, Ejim attended St. Mary’s Ryken High School in Maryland. After that season, Ejim transferred to Brewster Academy, a boarding school in New Hampshire. In 2010, following his senior season, Ejim was named the New Hampshire Gatorade Player of the Year.

Representing his ‘second country’ When Ejim was 5 years old, his mother took him and two of his four brothers to Nigeria. Walking through the streets, Ejim remembers the chickens and the oddly-timed loss of power — it was here, his mother said, that Ejim got a sense of his heritage. Back in Canada growing up, Ejim continued to follow Nigeria. “We grew up watching the Nigerian national teams every Olympics. Every time they had any tournaments, we were watching them,” Ejim said. “The idea of me possibly playing and representing our country is something I never really thought could happen.” If Ejim makes the 12-man team during the month of June, he will spend the month of July attempting to help Nigeria take one of the three remaining spots for the upcoming Olympics. It is now that Ejim has the chance to become connected to his lineage. “I always tell him that’s where he is from too, because I was born in Nigeria and came to Canada when I was about 5 years old,” Elizabeth said. “He was born in Canada, but his roots are still from Nigeria.”
/ er em ily Kr Da ey ate els St : K wa hic Io ap Gr
Last season as a sophomore at Iowa State, Ejim averaged 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game for the Cyclones as they advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Today, Elizabeth is happy she let her son play basketball. “Believe me, if I had to look at the future then, I would have never seen any of this — I didn’t look at it like he could go so far,” Elizabeth said. “Even the first time I saw him on TV when he was playing basketball, I was like, “Wow, we’re actually watching my son on TV.” While Ejim’s goal is to make the Olympic team, regardless of the outcome, he aims to be a part of Nigeria’s future with the possibility of more tournaments in the future. Elizabeth said she could not imagine how she will feel if her son does make the Olympics. “I can’t even express how I’ll feel,” Omoghan said. “Not only me but the entire family and the entire Nigerian community that knows him here — because he has a lot people that have known him since he was a kid.” The coming months will allow Ejim to play for those people and attempt something he has always dreamed of. “To represent not only my parents’ country but team Africa is something I’ve always wanted to do, just being an African,” Ejim said. “Everyone wants to play for their country, and I kind of feel like I have two countries.”
Nigeria, in red, is one of the most populated countries in the world, with an estimated 160 million people in 2011. During the upcoming 2012 Olympics in London, Team Nigeria will have more athletes competing than ever before. If Nigeria’s basketball team qualifies, it will be the first Olympic trip for the sport in the country’s history.

That Explains It
4018 W. Lincoln Way 515.268.3101 Answer from page 21
Why does your stomach growl?
It happens when your stomach walls squeeze together in an attempt to mix and digest food and there’s no food there. Gases and digestive juices slosh around in your empty stomach and before you know it - borborygmi. Yet hunger really has nothing to do with an empty stomach but, instead, is a product of certain nutrients missing in the blood. Our brains contain a “hunger center,” which functions as an accelerator, or as a brake, for our stomachs and intestines. Once necessary nutrients are lacking from the blood, the dinner bell is rung, and the stomach and intestines come rumbling. The now active stomach and intestine aren’t picky as to what foods will satisfy they, and will grab anything they can. It is the role of the appetite to rein them in, and to ensure that the growling duo are satisfied, but with a healthy balance of the proper nutrients. If ever in a situation where borborygmi kicks in, and there is no food in sight, remember to remain calm. The calmer you are, the more slowly your body will metabolize the protein it has stored, and the longer you will live! According to Websters: Main Entry: bor·bo·ryg·mus plural bor·bo·ryg·mi /-”mI/ n: intestinal rumbling caused by moving gas Random Fact Because the eyes work harder when viewing objects up close, particularly on a computer monitor, it is the proximity of the VDT screen to the eyes that causes eyestrain, not “radiation” emitted from the screen. According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, using a computer or video display terminal will not harm your eyes.
