Recruitment boosts enrollment to new high By Matt.Wettengel iowastatedaily.com For some it began at an early age, when aspirations of being a Cyclone brought Troy Davis jerseys under family Christmas trees. For others, it began on their first trip to campus, while some chose to follow their families’ legacy as Cyclones. Regardless of why students chose Iowa State, enthusiasm for the university was evident with the release of the record-breaking enrollment

numbers for the 2010 fall semester. As preliminary results indicated, Iowa State’s enrollment increased to a record-setting 28,682 students, compared to the previous record of 27,945 students, set last year. This was made possible due to successful recruiting methods and efforts focused toward student retention. Recruiting efforts entail almost everything imaginable, said Marc Harding, assistant vice president of admissions. Facebook, visits to

high schools and community colleges, campus visits, publications, phone calls and e-mails all play their own part in recruitment. “We try as the only land-grant university in Iowa, to visit every high school in the state, from Red Oak to Dubuque, talking about the educational opportunities for Iowans,” Harding said. Despite this, 50 fewer Iowa residents enrolled at Iowa State than last year. The decrease came as no surprise to Harding, who

actually found the slight decrease encouraging. “The number of high school seniors is dropping, so we’re holding onto our numbers,” Harding said. Out-of-state enrollment increased by 792 students, and international student enrollment is up 310 students since last year. These boosted numbers are the result of increased focus on out-of-state and international recruitment.

Whether amongst a group of friends or plugged into their iPods, Iowa State students, along with the 287 clubs vying for their attention, filled the Great Hall, South Ballroom, Sun Room, Oak Room and Campanile Room of the Memorial Union Wednesday eager to get involved and informed. Brianna Salgado, junior in communication studies and transfer student from Indian Hills Community College, attended ClubFest to peruse the variety of clubs and organizations present so she could get involved in her first year at Iowa State. “I came because I’m a transfer student and I really want to get involved in college, meet people, get involved; and not just go to class,” Salgado said. “I was excited to see how many people are involved in clubs and how many different clubs there are.” Reasons for clubs’ participation in ClubFest included the recruitment of new members and the promotion of their organization. The Physics and Astronomy Club participated in the event for the club’s first time, according to club president Michael Felderman. “We thought we should get out to get our club known,” Felderman said. “It’s a good way to get people that are interested involved. Our frozen marshmallows attracted people to our booth and we can show people the fun side of physics to try and get rid of the negative stigma that’s often associated with it.” ClubFest opened students’ eyes to a fraction of Iowa State’s more than 800 clubs and organizations and provided students an easy opportunity to get involved.

Ames police identified Julian Anthony Kral, 40, of New Ulm, Minn., as the driver shot by police around 1 a.m. Tuesday. Kral was released from Mercy Hospital and transferred over to the Story County Jail on Wednesday morning, according to a news release. He has been charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer, disarming a police officer, eluding a police officer and interference with official acts. The department also re-

O’Connor praises Iowa system Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on Wednesday told more than 200 elected officials and guests of the Iowa Bar Association from across the state that she admires Iowa’s court system. “Iowa has made a good choice,” O’Connor said. “That’s why people say, ‘As Iowa goes, so goes the nation.’” But she also warned the crowd of the dangers of special interest and campaign fundraising in judicial elections, like that of the big money campaign led by failed gubernatorial candidate Bob Vander Plaats to oust three Iowa Supreme Court justices. O’Connor said ousting justices based on one case is not a proper reaction. “Justice [David] Souter and I both look at the Court as the one safe place where a person can have a fair and impartial hearing to resolve a legal issue, and we have

In Iowa, only four judges have ever been ousted by retention vote. None of them were Iowa Supreme Court justices. O’Connor warned the crowd against making any major changes to the judicial system.

You only get to choose from the three that are nominated for the Supreme Court or District Court from two.” Those who get nominated come out of a vetting process by a nonpartisan commission.

Officers Patrick O’Bryan and Joshua Vander Zwaag were the officers involved. O’Bryan has been employed as a police officer for two years. Vander Zwaag has been employed as a police officer in Ames for a year and a half. Both officers have been placed on administrative leave. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and Ames Police Department are investigating the circumstances of the incident.

MU looks to enlist army of students for fundraising By Paige.Godden iowastatedaily.com The Memorial Union is looking to enlist an army of student organizations looking for fundraising opportunities, said Gail Ferlazzo, assistant director of the Memorial Union. At the Government of the Student Body meeting Wednesday night, Ferlazzo said the Union has brought in 15 beverage recycling containers which have been placed around the Union. Ferlazzo said student groups can watch over five or six of the containers for a month at a time and keep the money from the cans or bottles they redeem. Groups would be required to check the containers three times a week and would be responsible for removing any trash. Student groups will soon be able to sign up to volunteer at www.murecycling. iastate.edu. Ferlazzo also spoke about a $55,000 project that will soon begin. The four-seasons foun-

tain needs repairs. The fountain’s water softening equipment has failed, causing calcification on the women’s faces. The Union is looking at switching the fountain to deionized water, fixing the lights and repairing the rim and bottom of the fountain, which would cost about $38,000. The fountain’s rennovations are needed because it’s supposed to run from Veishea to Homecoming, but was turned off due to the calcification damage that the hard water caused. George Micalone, program coordinator for the Union, said there will be three more flat screen televisions installed. Micalone said the televisions will be set on MTVU, which is college specific program. As a partner to MTVU the campus will be able to participate in contests, and they have several grant organizations. Also the senate confirmed at-large members of the University Affairs and Finance committees.

Carrie Underwood thought she’d walk away from her first movie experience vowing to stick to her day job. But after a recent screening of “Soul Surfer,” the Grammywinning country superstar found she wasn’t as bad as she thought she’d be. Underwood plays a youth counselor in the film, based on the true story of Bethany Hamilton, who lost her arm in a shark attack. But while Underwood gives herself good marks for her work on “Soul Surfer,” the 27-year-old singer said she’s not ready to carry a film just yet.

CNN President Jon Klein said Morgan is “able to look at all aspects of the news with style and humor with an occasional good laugh in the process.” The struggling news network will debut another primetime show with former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer and columnist Kathleen Parker in October.

“We employ regional recruiters and utilize additional marketing and outreach efforts, like alumni presence and brand name recognition to draw students to Iowa State,� Harding said. “Right now we’re targeting states like California, Colorado and Texas because of the alumni base that we have in those states.� International students are reached by similar methods. A lot of academic departments have ties to different countries through academic programs, which students in from other countries. The recruitment program also has two recruiters who travel the globe. “The biggest enrollment comes when the whole community is engaged in the well being of Iowa State University,� Harding said. “People that come to Iowa State are looking at everything, from restaurants to shops to education -- everything plays an important role in the recruitment process.� Having only drawn in the second-largest freshman class in Iowa State history, retention of students played an important role in this year’s recordbreaking enrollment. One foundation of the retention efforts is the learning communities offered. While they’re not new, they’re important to students’ success, said Pete Englin, director of the Department of Residence. “The learning communities provided a baseline to prove that there are things that can be done to improve retention,� Englin said. “So now we have programs like MapWorks, which assesses students’ transitions to Iowa State, the Hixson Scholarship program, which provides connections for the students involved, and the living, learning, leading model that all hall directors and [community advisors] are trained in to provide a positive example for students.� These programs, along with events like Destination Iowa State and even move-in, provide students ample opportunities to become involved and mesh students’ expectations of college to actually being here. “Retention is all about

creating connections for students,� said Pete Englin, vice president of the Student Affairs Retention Committee. “Connections to their learning, faculty, fellow students, academic advisers, living community, support programs and

services. Each student is more likely to see their education through to completion if they feel a part of the Iowa State family. The sooner that happens the better. I believe we do an extraordinary job at helping that happen.�

>>SUPREME.p1 as governor. The merit-based system replaced political elections for judges in Iowa by a ballot measure in 1962. It was advocated by then-Gov. Norman Erbe, Republican, who called the popular election system a “degradation to the judiciary,â€? so said Allan Vestal, dean of the Drake Law School. Vestal said our system works because retention vote is an extraordinary rare use and “not a forum to overturn a decision.â€? He said the aspect of a retention vote certainly should not be based on one single ruling. That, he said, would cause a judge to worry each decision will be subject to public scrutiny, rather than the rule of law. Jan Laue, secretary-treasurer of the Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO, said judges must base their decisions on constitutional and statutory law, not on public opinion. The panelists drew comparisons of calls for removal of judges after other landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education. The question on the ballot, Vestal said, is not about samesex marriage. The misrepresentation the courts are legislating when they ďŹ nd an act of legislation invalid is to not overstep the judicial branch’s role. Strong courts mean strong economy

a

Mike Petro, chief of staff for the nonpartisan Committee for Economic Development, said most companies do business in nearly every state. When choosing where to locate, they want the state where they’d get the most fair and impartial treatment with a level playing ďŹ eld, he said. Petro said that once the judicial process becomes politicized, it’s “hard to avoid perception they’re buying outcomes.â€? Barry Griswell, president of Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines and former CEO of Principal Financial Group, said there had been times he stopped doing business in states where the courts were unpredictable. “The public doesn’t think in terms of state judges, city judges [or] article III judges. They’re all just judges —

they lump them together,� O’Connor said. When asked if the term “judicial activism� is thrown around too loosely, panelists said the integrity of the courts is such a vital issue, rhetoric must be toned down. Members from the Iowa Bar Association said they had been trying to get Justice O’Connor to visit Iowa for years, and they scheduled this event prior to Vander Plaats launching Iowa for Freedom. Photography and recording audio were banned from the panel discussion. However, it was allowed for the news conference following the event. If the retention vote is politicized, Vestal said, it would lead to situations like those in West Virginia, where the 2007 and 2008 judicial election cycle raised more than $3 million.

Stimulus results needed before we allot more funds President Obama unveiled a new plan Monday at a union festival in Milwaukee designed to jump-start the U.S. economy through the creation of jobs, with a focus on renovating the country’s infrastructure. While the total cost of the plan wasn’t given, senior administration officials said “$50 billion was a large percentage of the bill” and “most of the money would be spent in the first year,” according to the Washington Post. The plan would be to spend the $50 billion the first year as part of a six-year program. Goals Obama hopes to achieve through the implementation of such a plan include: “[building or repairing] 150,000 miles of roads ... constructing 4,000 miles of railways ... and rehabilitating 150 miles of airport runways,” according to the Associated Press. As well as “[avoiding] massive layoffs of teachers, police and firefighters” according to the Post. While the president’s speech may have been moving, there is still disagreement about whether this is an appropriate time to spend an additional $50 billion of taxpayer money. On one hand, a popular economic strategy during economic crises is to continue to spend on projects such as roads and railways to jump-start the American economy, similar to what was done during the Great Depression. However, we question whether such an economic push would actually catalyze the economy. Simply using the logic that larger spending equals economic growth can easily lead to a budget that is never balanced. It seems the age-old advice, “Don’t spend more than what you earn,” has lost its appeal. With an approximately $819 billion stimulus package passed earlier this year, it is hard to declare whether the additional $50 billion would help or damage the economy. Much criticism of the project is due to its vagueness. For example, the plan touts that it would create a substantial number of new jobs, but it doesn’t give a further estimate. Obama’s stance, nevertheless, remains that more spending is urgent and unavoidable. To manage the money, an “infrastructure bank” would be created to “[reform] the haphazard and patchwork way we fund and maintain our infrastructure to focus less on wasteful earmarks and outdated formulas, and more on competition and innovation that gives us the best bang for the buck.” Such a bank would be government-run and would pool tax dollars with private investment. Despite Obama’s claim this plan is necessary, we’re just not seeing it. We would much rather see detailed results of the already-passed stimulus package before there is another appeal for taxpayer dollars presented to the public. Editor in Chief

Use your words

By Edward.Leonard iowastatedaily.com

T

hose who know me well know that I have a colorful vocabulary, to use a tired euphemism. I’m a potty mouth worthy of an Orbitz gum commercial, and I’m entirely unapologetic. There are some burly-boned, urchinsnouted barnacles out there who regard my use of the English language with a strong distaste due to my constant explicit interjections. In the professional world, in fact, these words have the potential to get me in a great deal of trouble, and as such, I avoid them out of necessity. I don’t understand this point of view. It’s frustrating. It [expletive deleted] up my rhetorical thinking process and destroys creativity. There are certain words people object to more than others; certain words that just seem to press peoples’ buttons and get society’s collective panties in a bunch. I understand this. What I don’t understand is how these words were branded with the mark of the beast. Let’s take a look at our various synonyms for dookie. There’s one in particular that people just don’t like, but a thousand that are just fine for everyday consumption. If I called my “colon cannonballs” the infamous “s-word,” this column wouldn’t be published. That’s crap. Speaking of the word crap, which is perhaps the second most offensive name for “butt nuggets,” what is it that keeps it cleaner than the big S? The answer is in the perceived historical significance of a man named Thomas Crapper. This is, somewhat coincidentally, the man often, mistakenly, credited with the invention of the toilet. Although his name is actually not the origin of the word, his name makes “the crapper” an acceptable name for a toilet, and there’s just a short jump left to the “dookie-dogs” themselves. However, the woefully unassociated s-word gets the shaft. Other swear words have equally humble origins; The F-bomb is directly derived from a Germanic word, as are other words of similar reputation. The fact of the matter is, I can’t think of a single “diaper diddling” thing that makes that certain collection of four letter words more offensive than others, save the associations we’ve given them. These words have been stigmatized as taboo simply because we, as a society, have said so. Granted, this is not necessarily true of every swear word — some, like the “n-word” are words which, from their outset, have been used solely to belittle or insult. But that constitutes a very small portion of our most hated word list. The rest of these words have been unfairly persecuted.

Certain words cannot be used in professional context, potentially limiting conversational options. Photo illustration: Logan Gaedke/Iowa State Daily

As if the total lack of rhyme or reason with which these words were branded isn’t enough, the avoidance of certain words “sexually intercourses” us all over. The Oxford English Dictionary lists about 180,000 currently used basic words in the English language, not counting obsolete words still listed. Compare this to French, which has about 100,000 words, or German, which has about 130,000 to 150,000 basic words; albeit these can be combined to create perfectly acceptable compound words. Point is, English has a larger vocabulary

than any western language. We have an incredibly flexible language, and we would be doing it a disservice not to use every “goshdarned” one we can. If the shoe fits, wear it. So there it is. There’s no reason we should limit ourselves in the vocabulary we use from day to day; other than we as a society have agreed that certain words are never to be spoken. It’s arbitrary, it’s lacking reason, and it’s pretty much stupid. We all know the words, their meanings and their more colorful uses, so let’s use them, you ill-breeding boar pigs.

President

Words woven incorrectly By Brandon.Blue iowastatedaily.com

I

’m sure most of you are already aware, but during President Obama’s most recent vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, he had the Oval Office redecorated — at no taxpayer expense, the White House quickly pointed out. But among the new furniture, wallpaper and lamps is a new rug. It still bears the presidential seal, and the same company that made the Clinton-era rug made Obama’s. However, the president decided to adorn this one with five quotes of his own choosing around the border, as reported by ABC News’ Jake Tapper: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself” - President Franklin D. Roosevelt “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice” - Martin Luther King, Jr. “Government of the people, by the people, for the people” President Abraham Lincoln “No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings” - President John F. Kennedy “The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally upon the welfare of all of us” President Theodore Roosevelt Rarely do we get such a clear glimpse into the president’s mind. The White House insists Obama himself handpicked these quotes. For whatever reasons, these five lines are very important to him. Upon reading the quotes, I noticed immediately that there were no quotes from any of the Founding Fathers. With any other president, this would be troubling. Not so with Obama. Recall

Obama’s Oval Office rug features quotations of questionable origin or without context, displaying his relative lack of interest in the Founding Fathers and their ideas. Courtesy photo: Scott Beale/Flickr

that on this year’s Fourth of July, he stated: “We celebrate the principles that are timeless, tenets first declared by men of property and wealth but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new

birth of freedom in America — civil rights and voting rights, workers’ rights and women’s rights, and the rights of every American.” Civil, voting, workers’ and women’s rights are fantastic,

but why leave out the Bill of Rights? In referring to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and Benjamin Franklin as simply “men of property and wealth,” our president does them a great disservice. The disdain he exhibits for the founders is clear; they were backward simpletons, a line of unenlightened loons until Lincoln set them straight. For Obama, it seems, American history only then saw its dawning. There are other problems with this rug. As reported in the Washington Post, the quote attributed to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is in fact inspired by a quote from 19th century abolitionist Theodore Parker. The quote from Roosevelt is the poorest of the group, having been taken out of context even more so than Obama’s own quote in John McCain’s “Dangerous” campaign ad. The rest of the phrase following Roosevelt’s quote on the president’s rug stated that: “in public life that man is the best representative of each of us ... whose endeavor is not to represent any special class and promote merely that class’ selfish interests, but to represent all true and honest men of all sections and all classes and to work for their interests by working for our common country.” I can see now why they cut him short. One of the quotes is not attributed to its original source, one quote is horribly out of context and most are from Democrats. It’s pretty much the worst rug ever.

Transportation

Motorcycle safety of vital importance By RJ.Green iowastatedaily.com

I

don’t know if it’s a product of the recession or because I’m actually going to class this semester, but I’ve noticed a pretty sizable increase in motorcycle traffic this year. As a rider myself, I’m a fan of this trend and definitely understand the appeal: better gas mileage, easier commutes, babes, 0-100 acceleration times that put most cars’ 0-60 times to shame — I love my bike. I really do. However, what I don’t love is crashing. When I told my dad I was buying my first motorcycle, he was less than pleased. Which, you know, is the typical response from dad when I tell him I’m going to do something incredibly stup, er, dangerous. Imagine my surprise when he said, “You know, there are two people that ride motorcycles: people who have fallen off, and people who are gonna.” And, to be honest, I didn’t argue with him; it makes sense. If you missed the dash-cam video of Iowa lineman Josh Koeppel’s recent spill, I’m linking it to this article online. If you’re too lazy to care, let me summarize: Koeppel has the green light and is keeping up with the normal flow of traffic. A pickup truck driven by an elderly gentleman in the opposite direction makes a left turn in front of Koeppel, who hits the truck with no hint of deceleration. Luckily, Koeppel’s taken a few hits in his day and seems to know how to fall, which is nice considering he bounces off with enough force to flip him completely over. If you pay attention, you can see his flip-flop catch at least three seconds of hang time. Amazingly, and awesomely, he gets back on his feet and gets back to searching for Sarah Connor. As a rider, this situation pissed me off, and I’m glad Koeppel was able to make it away relatively unscathed. First, it’s a fantastic example of the most common car vs. bike accident there is, and often times the results are far more tragic. More often than not, the driver of the automobile says he simply “didn’t see” the motorcyclist coming, and in the case of Koeppel’s accident, this is abundantly clear. Therein lies the problem: Sport bikes aren’t the most visible thing on the road, although they’re the fastest. Nothing speeds up, slows down or swerves with the speed a motorcycle does, and that’s a function of weight — mass, for you good scientists. Unfortunately, there’s absolutely no protection on a motorcycle. Whereas a car offers a seat belt, a reasonably stable platform and a

whole bunch of stuff to smack in to relatively close to where you’re sitting, getting clipped on a bike means falling off, and here’s where the meat of the article is: The utter stupidity of most people I see on motorcycles in Ames astounds me, and I used to be among those idiots. Yeah, I used to ride around in as little as a T-shirt, mesh shorts and flip-flops. Then, I had a pickup truck pulling a trailer turn in front of me while I was going 45 mph. He got across both lanes before he saw me and made the brilliant decision to stop. I didn’t have room to swerve,

which means I should have relied on emergency braking, but for some reason I figured my chances were better if I slid my bike out from under me. The insurance adjuster measured a 282-foot scrape from my bike and figured I flipped, tumbled and skidded a good three-fourths of that. Scrubbing asphalt out of your skin with dish soap isn’t as easy as it sounds, and gauze isn’t the best thing with which to wrap road rash. Thankfully, there’s a synthetic bandage called DuoDerm made specifically for burn and burn-like injuries, and I managed to heal up well enough to where I thought participating in

Judo at Iowa Games the next weekend was a good idea. My girlfriend and her mom have done a great job guilt-tripping me into wearing my helmet and jacket every time I go out, and I’m glad I let my conscience get the better of me. Last November, I got caught behind a fender-bender on Sheldon Avenue. I had two choices: hit the brakes and hope I didn’t get crushed by the two pickups I was between, or take my chances with the tailgate in front of me. On impact, I felt the bottom edge of my helmet press down onto my chest and collarbone, which perfectly supported my neck.

I’ve been sold on helmets ever since, and would’ve walked away unscathed if I’d have had a bit more time to plan my trip over the handlebars. When EMT arrived, he asked me what I had in my lap. I wasn’t sure what he was referring to, until he pointed out that I’d inverted my gas tank. I’ll take $10,000 in emergency room bills and a medical withdrawal over paralysis any day, and I’m glad I caught the luck I did. If some of you still aren’t convinced, try this one: A few years ago, a good friend of mine was riding home on Highway 30. The driver of the pickup either didn’t see him or didn’t care, and when the driver ran the stop sign, my friend on the bike hit the rear wheel of the truck hard enough to snap the axle through the bed. At the time, he thinks, he was traveling at about 70 mph. Luckily, this friend is the oldest of old-school Judo club members, which meant he knew how to fall. Luckier still, he was wearing his helmet. He flew — literally flew — into a cornfield, and managed to make it out with no more than a concussion, broken hand, bruises and a three-month hip stinger. We live in central Iowa, so between the deer, the elderly population and the overabundance of bad driving, it’s hard to sell motorcycling as safe. Simply put, the only person you can rely on as a rider is, well, you. This summer, ISU senior Daniel Breuer was killed on I-35 just south of Ankeny. There had already been an accident that rush hour, which slowed traffic in the area. Breuer was unable to stop in time, colliding first with the back of a Lincoln sedan before hitting the wire barrier on the shoulder. Despite being airlifted to Iowa Methodist Medical Center, and despite having worn his helmet, his head trauma proved too severe to overcome. Friends later commented to the Iowa State Daily that safety — both for himself and others — was always one of Breuer’s concerns, something that definitely escapes the vast majority of riders in town. Horror stories notwithstanding, I absolutely love my bike. Is it safe in the conventional sense? Hell no, and I’m not even going to try to pretend it is. But that doesn’t mean I can’t take precautions and make it less dangerous. If you’re a new rider looking to buy your first bike, or a novice rider looking for some pointers, I promise it’s advice worth heeding. Have fun, stay safe and ride smart, and no, those three are not mutually exclusive.

Letters

Inexperience makes appointed Seemingly minor officials less qualified for office infractions can have I was extremely disappointed when James Strohman resigned from the Story County Board of Supervisors, knowing that Republican office holders would choose his replacement. I expected more from an elected official in whom the public placed its trust. I then was insulted when Treasurer David Jamison and Auditor Mary Mosiman selected their good friend Rick Sanders, claiming he was the most qualified person to fill the vacancy left by Strohman. How can anyone think a guy with no experience in the public sector, is more qualified than Ted Tedesco, a moderate Republican who served 17 years as the mayor of Ames? Or how about Mosiman’s own employee, Lucy Martin, who has a master’s degree in public administration from Columbia University’s School of International

James H. Jorgensen and Public Affairs? And no one has demonstrated a greater long-term commitment to the county than Paul Toot, a fifth-generation Story County resident who grew up working on the family farm. He then dedicated his life to public service by serving the people of Story County as a Deputy Sheriff for 30 years. However, as former Story County Supervisor Johnie Hammond stated at the public meeting where the appointment was made, “the fix” was already in. And now, I am astounded. The guy appointed to the Board of Supervisors one day, sworn into office the next, drafts a resolution to change the entire structure of Story County government the day after that — before he had actually attended his first Board

meeting. His attempt failed, so this week Sanders is calling for a Citizen’s Commission to study the Board’s structure, duties, compensation and how it is elected. Sanders wants to institute change when he has no knowledge of the position he wants to change, no experience in government and quite possibly will be gone soon when he follows his wife on to her next job. It is ironic, the candidate who favors less government is pushing a proposal guaranteed to increase both the cost and size of county government. Yet, the irony doesn’t end there. Sanders is telling the people of Story County the type of government we should have, before we have had the opportunity to tell him whether he should even be on the Story County Board of Supervisors.

long-lasting effects You might think that the penalty for underage drinking, speeding ticket, etc. is just a fine, you pay it and that’s all. Wrong! These infractions go on your permanent record and most employers will either check it or have someone else check it. To see your record, you can Google “Iowa Courts” or go to the Iowa Courts website and do a search. Maybe you think it won’t hurt you, but if an employer has two excellent applicants and one has a clean record and the other has a messy history with alcohol/ drugs, who do you think that they will hire? Sometimes your record can be

Terry Lowman the easy answer for whom to disqualify — I personally won’t hire someone with more than one seat belt violation because the story I’m reading is that the person is unmanageable. We didn’t have easy access to these records until recently and it seems the records are never purged, so your foolishness may follow you for years and years and years. Also, even if you beat the rap, the arrest stays on your record. These arrests are also listed in the local [Ames] Tribune. It’s an ugly system, but this is reality. Be warned.

GoogleMe could create Facebook page becomes tribute Facebook-mom buffer

It’s been almost two months now since the rumors in regard to Google’s “Facebook killer” started popping up. Supposedly called “GoogleMe,” this will be Google’s second attempt at a social network. This time it’s not just a side project; Google has supposedly dedicated a large number of engineers and has its top people working on it. What will this site look like? Although not confirmed, Google may combine what it already has and put it under one name. Here’s the formula: Take the already-existing “Google profiles” set up more than a year ago, and with that you can integrate Google Chat for instant messages and have built-in Gmail. Videos could be easily integrated into the site — the company owns YouTube — and

it could set up Picasa for photos. Google Search could be built in, not to mention the largest ad network on the Internet. Google has so many products it might have to leave some out. However, expect maps, shopping and calendar to also play a large role in GoogleMe. What could Google do differently than Facebook? Different groups of friends. Google says it understands the whole “mom on Facebook” thing and is working to address it. It plans to help you keep separate parts of your life and keep your mom out of your “personal” personal life. Can this be done? I certainly hope so.

I have recently gone on a Facebook boycott. I locked down all my tagged photos and the only information you see on my profile is my status updates — which come few and far between — and things that people have posted on my wall. I have no relationship status, because I am not a huge fan of broadcasting that to the world. What did we do before Facebook? Oh, right, we talked. Granted Facebook is a great tool to keep in touch with that friend who moved away after graduation or connect with someone you met last night. Other than that I feel like people have too much of an open view on my personal life. This past weekend Facebook surprised me I was informed Saturday night that a close friend was killed in a freak car accident. Lots of confusion, tears and pure

Brad Kuxhausen is a senior in mechanical engineering

grieving took place in the next couple of days. I jumped on Facebook on Tuesday morning and proceeded to cruise through all the remembrance statuses regarding my friend who had passed. Then I came upon her Facebook page. Her status had been updated with the time of her Celebration of Life Service that night, presumably by her family. Then I take a look at her wall. It was filled with “I miss you” messages, and funny uplifting stories. A smile came across my face. Her page has become a rolling remembrance blog. What did we do before Facebook? Think if you passed to the better side. All those friends that you see every day in class and complain about the professor with, all those friends you party with on the weekends but

don’t have their numbers, all those people who are friends of friends; how will they know of your passing? Maybe they don’t read the newspaper, but it is almost guaranteed they are on Facebook. Typically those are the people who find out of such an event too late and don’t get to make it back for the funeral or don’t really know if they should. Reaching out to the family might be too much or uncomfortable for them. Facebook provides people with a way to say their last goodbye and share or read other happy stories about you. It allows your grieving family to hear from those who cared about you that they might not have known about. So this is to you, Facebook, you have been on my s--t list as of late, but you just took a big step in the right direction, even if it was inadvertently. Keep your friends close, and family closer and take a page from my late friend’s book: Live it up.

Volleyball

Football season finally ready to begin By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com

A

fter six months of contract holdouts, court hearings, owners meetings, reality shows, controversial tweets and fantasy drafts, fans of the NFL finally remember what the “F” stands for: football. The NFL season will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Thursday on NBC with the much-anticipated rematch of last season’s NFC Championship game between the New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings. Here is a quick acrostic preview of what to watch for in the 2010 NFL season. And check out our poll on iowastatedaily.com to cast your vote on who you think will win Super Bowl XLV. New Orleans will be a heavy favorite to repeat as Super Bowl champions. Saints fans may be knocking on wood in hopes that Drew Brees can break the Madden Curse, and Reggie Bush did cause USC a laundry list of NCAA violations that may have cost him the 2005 Heisman Trophy. But all injury curses and free Escalades aside, the Saints return nearly all the key players who helped send Bourbon Street into pandemonium Feb. 7. Sean Payton has proven to be a class act and a coaching mastermind early in his career, and with “Who Dat” Nation behind them, the Saints might be marching into Cowboys Stadium come February. As for the AFC, the Peyton Manning-led Colts will deal with some inexperience on the offensive line, but should have no problem winning the AFC South for the seventh time in the last nine years. Right behind the Colts will be a pair of defensive-minded squads, led by a pair of young quarterbacks in the Baltimore Ravens and the New York Jets. Both teams acquired their fair share of former Pro Bowlers as the Ravens acquired wideouts Anquan Boldin and T.J. Houshmandzadeh and the Jets inked running back LaDainian Tomlinson, defensive end Jason Taylor and defensive back Antonio Cromartie. Other teams to watch for in the AFC include the Belichick-Brady duo in Foxboro, the T.O. and Ochocinco show in Cincinnati and the upstart Titans led by the league’s fastest running back Chris Johnson. The rest of the NFC, like the AFC, has two front-runners to overthrow the defending conference champions, Green Bay and Dallas. Although cheeseheads will be looking ahead to what could be Aaron Rodgers’ “career year,” the Packers’ strongest unit may be their young defense that gave up the fewest yards in the NFC last season. The Cowboys, on the other hand, will look to their three-headed monster of Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice at running back to carry America’s team this season as they try to become the first team to ever play a Super Bowl in their home stadium. Other squads that can challenge New Orleans, Green Bay and Dallas are the Mike Singletarycoached 49ers, the Falcons with Matt “Matty Ice” Ryan under center. And, of course, the Minnesota Vikings will look to make a return trip to the NFC Championship, led by the once, twice, three times retired Wrangler-wearing field general Brett Favre. The former Falcons draftee turned Packers legend, turned Jets one-year wonder, turned Vikings savior will return to the field yet again for year No. 20. No. 4 logged his best statistical season as an NFL quarterback in 2009, completing 68.4 percent of his passes with 33 touchdowns to only seven interceptions. Those stats don’t include his last-second heave to beat the 49ers, a regular season sweep of the Packers. And who can forget the “Pants on the Ground” post-game celebration? Needless to say, the Mississippi man hit his stride his 19th season. However, he may be the Cal Ripken Jr. of football, with 309 consecutive starts, but when he makes his 310th Thursday night, it will be on a bum ankle that already required off-season surgery. The Vikings’ offensive line may be one of the best-run blocking units in the league, but they will need to keep Favre on his feet more often than last season — he was sacked 34 times — if they want to keep their title hopes alive. Offenses like the Vikings may have more to worry about with more teams playing lights-out defense. Last year’s Super Bowl pitted two offensive juggernauts against each other in Indianapolis and New Orleans. This season, will we see the mantra “Defense wins championships” come true on Super Bowl Sunday? Well, if the 2010 NFL Draft was any indicator for an increased focus on defense — three of the top five picks were defensive players — then this season could be a year in which scores are lower and punts are aplenty. The spread and wildcat offenses are all fine and dandy, but with a Dwight Freeney in the backfield, a Patrick Willis running sideline-tosideline or a Darrelle Revis coaxing quarterbacks to “Revis Island,” a dominant defense will be a prized possession this season. The last team to hold a team under 10 points in the Super Bowl? The Baltimore Ravens in 2001. They may not hold Rodgers and the Packers in single digits, but I’m taking Ray Lewis and Co. in Super Bowl XLV as Baltimore downs Green Bay 28-17.

In-state rival Ames High UNI swept in sees magic 3-set match F Commentary

By Jeremiah.Davis iowastatedaily.com

By Jake.Calhoun iowastatedaily.com

The floor of the Ames High gymnasium has never seen so much sweat as Wednesday night, when Iowa State defeated Northern Iowa in three sets (25-16, 25-20, 25-22). The 11th-ranked Cyclones (6-1) made a string of comebacks in their heated intrastate rivalry match against the 18th-ranked Panthers (5-2). Iowa State came back after being down early in both the second and third sets in front of a packed-in 2,000 attendees. Two Cyclone outside hitters managed to reach double figures in at least two statistical areas in the match. Senior Victoria Henson struck for 17 kills and managed 10 digs on defense, all while hitting .405 on the night. “I think [Henson is] playing at such a high level, and just about

orget Hilton Magic. All the ISU volleyball team needed was a little Ames High Magic. The Cyclones faced the No. 18 UNI Panthers on Wednesday night in the local high school gym, and sent the ladies from Cedar Falls home in straight sets. And make no mistake, the makeshift home-court advantage came in handy in a big way. “I thought it was a great atmosphere,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “The players couldn’t hear us at all. It was very loud and very intimidating.”

every match so far this season she has put up phenomenal numbers,” coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. “To be a great team we need someone like that, and she’s coming up big time this year.” With her impressive resume of consistency, many opponents often focus a lot of their game plan around the Leavenworth, Kan., native, which creates many opportunities for her teammates to make plays. “She just frees us up to hit,” said junior middle blocker Deb Stadick. “When people go camp out on

Johnson-Lynch didn’t even need to point out how intimidating it was. Iowa State came out firing and blew away a really good team in the first set. When the flood of 2010 hit in August, there was a lot of uncertainty for the Cyclones. They had a good thing going in Hilton, with school record attendance and a winning vibe that hadn’t really been in the building for several years. I’d venture to guess fans — and even the coaches and players themselves — saw losing Hilton as a very bad thing. Now, Johnson-Lynch and her players relish the opportunity to bring opponents into the sweatbox that is the Ames High gymnasium. “It’s hard when you come into a gym and the crowd is so close,” Johnson-Lynch said.

Cyclones overcome second-set challenge By Travis.Cordes iowastatedaily.com In each of its five previous victories this season, the ISU volleyball team had no problem taking the first set of off its opponents. It was the second set that had given the Cyclones trouble. But that problem was fixed in bold fashion Wednesday night, as the No. 11 Cyclones (6-1) dominated the first set against No. 18 Northern Iowa (5-2) but didn’t let their guard down or get too comfortable with their lead. “That first set was a huge confidence boost for us,” said middle blocker Jamie Straube. “And we know that it’s hard to get behind and how much harder you have to work to come back, so we made sure to get on top early and keep pushing the entire time we were ahead.” In earlier matches against thenNo. 14 Kentucky and North Dakota

State, Iowa State took the first set without too much problem, but proceeded to drop the following set and head into the locker room tied 1-1. The Cyclones’ match against South Dakota State was nearly the same, as they barely squeaked out a 26-24 second-set win. But Wednesday night, after coming out of the gates early for a quick 25-16 first set win, Iowa State managed to fight out of an early second set deficit to take a 2-0 lead at intermission. The third set brought out more of that same tenacity, with the Cyclones down by as much as 18-13 before winning nine of the next 12 points and storming back to take the sweep. “We went into the locker room at the break knowing they’re a team that has gone five sets almost every match this season,” said junior

CLOSE CALL.p9 >>

We chuckled Friday, but Utah State gave the Sooners a run for their money. After jumping out to a 21-0 lead early in the first half, Oklahoma had a game on its hands when the Aggies scored on a 42-yard pass early in the second half, making it a 21-17 game. The OU defense struggled against the pass, the high-flying offense only out-gained Utah State 422-421 and the Sooners had to hold off a late charge to sneak away with the seven-point win. On the bright side, though, running back DeMarco Murray, some experts’ pick for the Heisman Trophy, lived up to the hype. Murray had 35 carries, 218 yards and two touchdowns in the game. The Sooners outrushed Utah State 215-80. Landry Jones struggled in his first performance of the year — completed just 47.2 percent of his passes — but Ryan Broyles, his top returning target, was only outshined by Murray. This week, the Sooners face the season’s first test, hosting No. 17 Florida State. After struggling against the pass — allowed 341 yards to Utah State — the OU defense will be faced with one of the best passing attacks in the country. Christian Ponder — another potential Heisman contender — only played in the first half of Florida State’s 59-6 pounding of Samford and still racked up 167 yards and four touchdowns. The Sooners will be an eight-point favorite Saturday afternoon.

Missouri (1-0) Last week: W 23-13 vs. Illinois This week: vs. McNeese State Missouri didn’t exactly blow through Big Ten rival Illinois on Saturday. The Tigers fell behind 13-3 at the half, but stormed back to take the 23-13 win in the final neutral-site game in the “Arch Rivalry,” played annually in St. Louis. However, outscoring the Illini 20-0 in the second half would be more than enough for Mizzou, hoping to improve on a somewhat-disappointing 8-5 season in 2009. Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert was 34-of-48 passing for 281 yards and two touchdowns in the game, getting off to a hot start in his junior season in Columbia. The Tigers’ defense, though, struggled against the run, allowing Illinois to rack up 200 yards rushing while holding the Illini to just 81 yards through the air. Illinois quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase was also just 9-of-23 passing. This week, the Tigers may back off the intensity in practice as they prepare for McNeese State of Division 1’s Championship Subdivision before gearing up for San Jose State and Miami [Ohio] in their final two non-conference games.

Colorado (1-0) Last week: W 24-3 vs. Colorado State This week: at California Don’t let the 24-3 deficit in the win over rival Colorado State fool you, Colorado struggled to those 24 points Saturday. Colorado’s offense out-gained Colorado State’s 307-245, hardly a reason for coach Dan Hawkins to get excited. In 2009, the CSU defense was ranked 78th in total defense and allowed 387 yards per game. Starting quarterback Tyler Hansen was 17-of-25 passing for just

Burning Man festival transcends

Courtesy photo: Neena Hayreh

By Allison.Suess iowastatedaily.com The Burning Man Festival community is radical. Strange things like hippies, drug culture, public nudity, people in costumes and people who chose not to give their real names made up the culture. The website suggests those interested in the festival read a “survival guide” before considering attendance. There was no electricity or lights, and at night people had to wear glowsticks so they wouldn’t bump into others. There were sandstorms with winds up to 50 mph and people had to wear goggles and dust masks to protect against the stinging of blowing

sand. In the midst of everything were 12 ISU students and one professor of the Shifting Sands: Transient Architectures in the Desert design studio class. After a week-long excursion to the festival, the artists returned home at 2 a.m. Wednesday, after experiencing what Samantha Krukowski, lecturer in architecture in charge of the studio, described as a “transformative experience.” Each member of the class completed an art piece to bring to the festival to be set up and then disassembled Sept. 6., the final day of the event. The experience of working on a project for the summer, then removing it permanently, was an artistic endeavor that

challenged the students notions about their art. Making work for the purpose of just making work and showing it to other people and being willing to have it removed was one of the guiding principles of Burning Man, Krukowski said. The art “becomes a memory, it’s transient,” she said. Despite the irreverent view some may take of what the festival is — the “biggest party of the world,” as one deejay on Burning Man Radio suggested to Krukowski — the memorable experi-

ence students had were profound. One student’s art installation became the center of a party, another student got to see how different people acted while wearing animal masks that hid their identity, another experienced the kindness of the community when a group helped him carry his art piece three hours across the “playa” or desert. All students, Krukowski said, bonded with one another and found a place in the social structure of the community. Iowa State was the first to offer class credit for attending the festival. Next year, Krukowski said, she hopes to once again have a class attend. Hayreh

BonďŹ re:

Outdoor spaces are abundant in Story County. McFarland Park is just north of Ames, and Ledges State Park is a great, nearby place to stroll. The weather should be just warm enough to tube down the Des Moines River, which runs right through the middle. Tire tubes from local mechanics can be an inexpensive alternative to buying tubes.

Anything goes, as long as it’s portable and delicious — sandwiches, fruit snacks — but may we suggest classing it up a bit and packing some cheese, crackers and wine? Franzia is cheap and portable, or resort to sparkling grape juice if you’re underage.

It gets chilly at night in September, which is the perfect opportunity to spark a bonďŹ re and roast marshmallows. S’mores are the ďŹ re-roasted snack of the gods; so to end the night, we recommend you roast some marshmallows over an open ame.

Joke of the Day Women

A group of girlfriends are on vacation when they see a 5-story hotel with a sign that reads: “For Women Only”. Since they are without their boyfriends and husbands, they decide to go in. The bouncer, a very attractive guy, explains to them how it works. “We have 5 floors. Go up floor by floor, and once you find what you are looking for, you can stay there. It’s easy to decide since each floor has a sign telling you what’s inside.” So they start going up and on the first floor the sign reads: “All the men on this floor are short and plain.” The friends laugh and without hesitation move on to the next floor. The sign on the second floor reads: “All the men here are short and handsome.” Still, this isn’t good enough, so the friends continue on up. They reach the third floor and the sign reads: “All the men here are tall and plain.” They still want to do better, and so, knowing there are still two floors left, they continued on up. On the fourth floor, the sign is perfect: “All the men here are tall and handsome.” The women get all excited and are going in when they realize that there is still one floor left. Wondering what they are missing, they head on up to the fifth floor. There they find a sign that reads: “There are no men here. This floor was built only to prove that there is no way to please a woman.

Daily Sudoku

Daily Horoscope : by Nancy Black and Stephanie Clements

Scorpio: Say What’s on Your Mind.

Today’s birthday (9/9/10). Your favorite person faces big challenges this year. Get ideas from all group members for problem solving. Your attitude helps to lift spirits and maintain a more optimistic perspective. You still have time to pursue your own goals with flair.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Someone close to you experiences a depressing moment. To shift the mood, offer alternative plans of action that they are blind to. Taurus (April 20--May 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Someone begins the day in a funk. You can shift that by providing independent activities that emphasize personal strengths.

Level: medium INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every number 1 to 9. For strategies on solving Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

Today’s solution:

FAST FACT: POPULATION

Gemini (May 21--June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- Today’s actions take place in your mind’s eye. The variety of possibilities seems endless. Come down to earth tomorrow after a night of dreams. Cancer (June 22--July 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Your imagination carries you away, and that’s all right. Today you hatch new plans and wait until later to put them into action. Enjoy the process.
