CEDAR FALLS — The ISU Athletics Department will completely eliminate its general university ﬁnancial support for the 2012 ﬁscal year. ISU athletics will not receive any funds from the state of Iowa as a result of the decision, approved by the Iowa Board of Regents on Thursday. “We have been steadily reducing this

amount over the last several years and are prepared to take it down to zero,” said ISU President Gregory Geoffroy. The athletic department has been cutting its dependence annually since being supported by university funds for as much 10.8 percent — $2.4 million — of its budget since 2001. Iowa State aimed for 2011 to be the ﬁnal year of school support, with $1.6 million of

Lied reopens Hot water, turf, courts remain out of service By Torey.Robinson and Matt.Wettengel iowastatedaily.com Lied Recreation Athletic Center opened its doors to students and patrons Thursday for the ﬁrst time in 25 days. “We’re running at a relatively nor-

ment,” Giles said. “Unfortunately we don’t have a timeline for that.” Lied was sealed Aug. 22 in order to allow the building to properly dehumidify after it ﬂooded Aug. 11.

Skunk River Navy

Volunteers comb river and banks, collect trash

Rap artist Sam Adams will perform at a concert at Sigma Chi on Saturday as part of Derby Days, the fraternity’s week-long philanthropic event. Adams, 23, from Boston, grew in popularity on YouTube with his single, “I Hate College.” His debut album, “Boston’s Boy,” which features single “Driving Me Crazy,” topped the hip hop/rap charts on iTunes upon its release in March. All 700 concert tickets were sold during a period of only eight hours, said Jared Trujillo, junior in political science and philanthropic events chairman for Sigma Chi. The proceeds from the concert will go to Make-A-Wish Foundation, and speciﬁcally to Sigma Chi’s 5-year-old “wish child,” whose dream is to go to Hawaii with her family. Trujillo said Sigma Chi has been working since March to arrange for Adams to give a

Due to conditions of the work, it is nearly inevitable that participants will get wet and muddy. Shoes and old clothes are strongly advised. Volunteers and participants will be picking up trash along nearly three miles of river. Therefore, insect repellent and sunscreen are also suggested.

concert in Ames. He e-mailed Adams’ booking agent, Adams said he liked the cause and agreed to do the concert as part of his Midwest tour. The fraternity’s goal is to raise $10,000 for the foundation during Derby Days. Derby Days is a philanthropy that involves a series of competitions and events which award points and prizes to the participating members. Friday night there is a luau at the Sigma Chi house to go along with the philanthropy theme of Never Ending Summer. The luau will start at 5 p.m. and is open to all students. It includes games, grilled food and a raffle for prizes and the remaining tickets to the Sam Adams concert. Admission is $4. “It’s for a really great cause,” Trujillo said. “[Make-A-Wish] is a really good organization.” The concert is the ﬁnal event of Derby Days. Adams will be there Saturday to meet fans and sign autographs before or after the concert.

Students gathered in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union for the Study Abroad Fair on Wednesday to talk with representatives from more than 60 study and intern abroad programs. Iowa State offers approximately 250 programs in more than 50 countries. The programs range from two weeks to one year. More than 1,200 ISU students study or work abroad annually, and programs are available for majors, minors, elective credits, foreign language credits and internships and other valuable work experiences, according to Study Abroad Office handouts. Study and intern abroad programs are becoming increasingly more important as more employers are looking for international experience when they hire college graduates, according to the Study Abroad Office. Popular places students are studying at this year include Australia, Ireland and London. Asia is a popular destination for students majoring in business and architecture, according to the Study Abroad Office. Traci Chupik, student from

Campaign

Professor: Bickering serves as sideshow to issues By Tyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com Democratic Gov. Chet Culver and former Republican Gov. Terry Branstad cannot agree on the debt load, Iowa’s economic outlook or much else about their own records. This was evidenced in both of the campaigns’ latest television ads and characterized their ﬁrst debate Tuesday in Sioux City. Yet, as campaigns discuss who lost more jobs, ISU staff research economist Dave Swenson said they’re both being disingenuous because governors don’t create or lose jobs. “All governors are, are great big cheerleaders for the state,” Swenson said. “We’re not creating jobs, we’re just working at trying to get the jobs to come to us. We’re more job ﬁnders rather than job creators.”

Swenson said this ends up being more of a sideshow to the real issues because governors are elected to serve executive operations of the state. “During the 1980s when Gov. Branstad likes to claim he was incredibly instrumental in job creation,” Swenson said, “during his first six years in office, Iowa actually had half the job rate as the nation.” Swenson said the Iowa economy during Branstad’s term could be viewed as a failure, but it’s not his fault the job growth was slow. He said that on the flip side, during Culver’s term, it is not a check on the governor that we have lost jobs or that Iowa has fared better than most states. It can be attributed to what industries are involved in Iowa’s economy. So despite Culver’s claim that 250 companies to net 20,000 jobs in three years —

including IBM, Google and Microsoft — have been a result of being under his watch, it was mostly attempts at enticing companies to pick Iowa. Likewise, it’s doubtful, Swenson said, that Branstad can fulfill a promise of 200,000 jobs to Iowa. Flood response has not been a large issue, although the candidates sparred over it in the debate. Branstad oversaw the response effort to the 1993 floods, which left Des Moines without water for weeks. Des Moines Water Works has not suffered from flooding since then due to reconstruction to block floodwaters. State Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, repeatedly criticizes Branstad for his response after the 1993 floods. Specifically, he cites Branstad not following through on

the Iowa Flood Disaster Report presented to thenGov. Branstad by Brigadier General Harold M. Thompson, the Iowa Flood Recovery Coordination Team project officer. In contrast, Hogg claimed, Culver’s I-JOBS program was successful because it provided money for disaster mitigation. Branstad’s campaign responded that Democrats politicizing the ﬂoods is sad and pathetic. But Branstad has hammered Culver for the expense of the I-JOBS program, although the two camps bicker over the actual cost. Branstad’s ad “Big Bad Debt” places the cost at $1.7 billion, which is actually an outdated ﬁgure from 2009; the real number is closer to $1.265 billion. However, Branstad is correct that it will cost $55 million a year for 23 years to

Culver

Branstad

pay for $875 million of it. Culver asked Branstad during the debate Tuesday to admit the funding for the I-JOBS bonds was all out-of-state gaming revenue. Branstad said indeed it was, but insisted that money should go toward infrastructure, as the account was originally set up. “I believe in doing things on a pay-as-you-go basis,” Branstad said in the debate. “You didn’t believe in payas-you-go when you bonded for $4.3 billion, Terry,” Culver said in response. Branstad’s administration

did see debt as well — $4.363 billion in debt. But much of that was short-term and typically paid within a year. The TouchPlay fiasco was the first significant blow the Culver administration dealt with, and the state had to buy its way out, Swenson said, in addition to the film office scandal and other situations. “There is this sense that the governor perhaps had some judgment issues,” Swenson said. “Gov. Branstad is lucky that a lot of people don’t remember his early administration, but his administration was beset by an incredible amount of fiscal incompetency.” Swenson said the scandals in addition to the recession does not fare well for Culver, and many people don’t have a lot of affection toward Democrats now.

Seattle Weekly

Cartoonist goes into hiding when satire sours extremists By Donna Gordon Blankinship The Associated Press SEATTLE — A Seattle cartoonist who became the target of a death threat with a satirical piece called “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day” has gone into hiding on the advice of the FBI. Seattle Weekly editor-in-chief Mark D. Fefer announced in Wednesday’s issue that Molly Norris’ comic would no longer appear in the paper. Fefer wrote that the FBI advised Norris to move, change her name and wipe away her identity because of a religious edict issued this summer that threatened her life. “She is, in effect, being put in a witness-protection program — except, as she notes, without the government picking up the tab,” Fefer wrote. He told The Associated Press on Thursday that he had nothing further to say because it’s a sensitive situation.

The FBI also declined to comment Thursday. David Gomez, the FBI’s special agent in charge of counterterrorism in Seattle, told the New York Daily News in July that the agency was doing everything it could to protect individuals on a fatwa list issued by Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Awlaki said in the June issue of Englishlanguage Muslim youth magazine “Inspire” that Norris is a “prime target” who should reside in “Hellﬁre.” Norris’ cartoon inspired a Facebook page that caught the attention of authorities in Pakistan, who banned the social networking site in response. Most Muslims regard any depiction of the prophet, even favorable ones, as blasphemous. The Facebook page encouraged people to post images of Mohammed to protest threats against the creators of the American TV series “South Park” for depicting the prophet in a bear suit during an episode earlier this year.

By Denise Lavoie The Associated Press BOSTON — A Boston University medical student who police said killed a masseuse he met through Craigslist and later committed suicide in jail was a “monster” who “can never escape God’s justice,” the victim’s mother said Thursday. Carmen Guzman, mother of 25-year-old New York City resident Julissa Brisman, said through a Spanish interpreter that Philip Markoff “destroyed my life and that of my family.” “I curse the day, the hour and the minute that Philip Markoff picked my daughter as his next victim,” Guzman said in a statement before her daughter was honored with 35 others at an annual ceremony at Boston’s Garden of Peace, a

memorial for nearly 700 homicide victims. Prosecutors formally dropped murder charges Thursday against Markoff, who committed suicide in his jail cell while awaiting trial in Brisman’s slaying. Police said Brisman was beaten with a gun and shot three times at a Boston hotel. Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley, whose office ﬁled the document saying the prosecution had been terminated because of Markoff’s death, said Brisman’s relatives are frustrated they won’t be able to face the accused. “They were robbed of the opportunity to have him held accountable in a court of law,” Conley said. “In some respects, these trials — when they do occur — are cathartic for people.” Conley said he plans to

publicly release evidence against Markoff within a few weeks, which he hopes will bring some satisfaction to the family and show the public the “compelling, very, very strong case” prosecutors had. Brisman and the other victims were memorialized with engraved stones in the garden near the Massachusetts Statehouse. Guzman said she wanted Markoff to face justice and doesn’t know if he committed suicide because of his conscience. Brisman was killed April 14, 2009, a few days before her 26th birthday. She had met Markoff when he responded to an ad she had placed in the erotic-services section of Craigslist. Markoff, a second-year medical student, was found dead last month in his jail cell.

Editorial

Politics hinder advances in vital research The ongoing debate over embryonic stem cell research has made headlines after U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth granted an injunction against President Barack Obama’s eliminating research restrictions put in place by the Bush Administration. Federally funding such research has been a complicated issue since 1998. Here’s the science. A few days after conception, a fertilized egg has differentiated into a mass of cells known as a blastocyst. The stem cells in the blastocyst are known as the inner cell mass, and are a new frontier of scientific discovery for two reasons: under the proper conditions, these cells differentiate into any type of cell found in the human body, and are they able to propagate indefinitely. This is valuable for a number of reasons. Cloning cells is difficult when cells specialize. Stem cells clone others inherently. Some adult stem cells can also replicate into other cells, but they aren’t as flexible. This is why bone marrow transplants are used to treat blood disease: The cells from the marrow replace the diseased blood cells, but they can’t replace other tissue or cell types. A provision was attached in 1995 to the federal appropriations bill prohibiting the use of federal money to create or destroy human embryos for research. It has been included in every spending bill since 1996. Bush’s policy further restricted researchers to stem cell lines produced before August 2001. It was this policy Obama overturned. The Obama policy still prohibits the creation of new stem cell lines, but allows use of existing lines. So far Sen. Tom Harkin has introduced legislation to continue federal funding, as has pro-life Sen. Arlen Specter. Also, Sen. Orrin Hatch, a staunch pro-life advocate, has been a vocal proponent of stem cell research. Embryonic stem cell research has absolutely nothing to do with abortion. Embryos used in stem cell research come from leftover eggs during in vitro fertilization. These embryos are already classified as medical waste, and thus slated for destruction. Those opposed to embryonic stem cell research on pro-life grounds are simply misinformed. The blastocysts used in stem cell research aren’t any more of a person than the sperm and egg cell they came from. The fetal heart doesn’t beat until the fifth week of gestation, and rudimentary brain activity takes at least 52 days to begin. If we’re still talking about the destruction of potential human life, trillions of sperm are released each ejaculation, and none of them typically fertilize an egg. The ISD Editorial Board supports legislation lifting the current federal restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. This isn’t because we’re godless heathens, we just support science. There are those who believe such research is unethical. Others say that they don’t want their tax dollars subsidizing embryo destruction. Some have gone so far as to argue that the benefits of said research have been grossly exaggerated. We can’t possibly know the benefits of stem cells without doing the science, and that’s impossible when we deny people the resources to do so. If the United States is to remain at the forefront scientific and technological advancement, stem cell research should not only be legal, but encouraged. Competition for federal grants is a fantastic catalyst for scientific achievement, and given the potential benefits of stem cells, it’s a shame bad politics stand in the way of progress.

POW/MIA day

Take time to remember soldiers lost in combat

o you know what day it is today? It’s Friday, the last day of classes, the start of the weekend and a day of relaxation for most people. It’s a day we look forward to every week so we can finally stop worrying about homework for the next few days, maybe go to a party with some friends, and generally enjoy ourselves But today is special. This particular Friday is National POW/MIA Recognition day. Today is one of a few days when Congress has authorized the infamous black and white POW/MIA flag to be flown — there are actually 6 days, including Independence day and Memorial day. Although it’s a Friday, it’s also a day of remembrance we should all observe. Grace Leonard, a now-retired Major in the Air Force, worked for years in the Defense Intelligence Agency. Her job was to try to receive full accountability for all

American service members unaccounted for. Some of these were still from Vietnam. This was 20 years after the date they were reported missing. “Family members [of service men and women] deserve to know what happened [to their loved ones] if possible ... and service members need to know that their country will do everything in its power to receive a full accounting [of those missing].” This office still exists, although now it’s directly under the secretary of defense. Today they are still searching for American men and women who went missing in every war since Vietnam. We’ve all heard the horror stories about the treatment of American prisoners during Vietnam, how they were tortured and abused for information for years on end before being released, if they were released at all. We’ve all heard similar stories from the more recent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and sometimes even seen tapes of their prisoners as their captors make demands.

And then there’s the matter of those who will probably never be accounted for. They may have simply stepped on a land mine, and no remains could be found. Whether or not you agree with our defense policies, there is no denying the hardships those in the service go through, many of them on a daily basis. Prisoners of war and those missing in action have seen the worst of the worst parts of war. They have gone through hell on earth for you, the citizens of America, and they’ve done it willingly. Today there will be an honor guard posted in Gold Star Hall, as well as a run commemorating those who didn’t come home, among other events on campus. These are just some ways the ISU community is showing their support. I’m not asking you to give up the happiness Friday brings every week. I’m not asking you to sit around this weekend and mope. But I would ask that you take a few seconds to think about what this day means. Think about those who faced the darkest side of humanity so you can enjoy today.

Response

Responsible partiers are not criminals

By RJ.Green iowastatedaily.com

h Michael Belding, how you confound me. Why must you pontificate to and fro? Did you feel coverage of superfan hooliganism was insufficient? Have we not printed enough pictures of folks painted head-to-toe, cardinal-and-gold to appease you? Did we, perhaps, understate the contribution of these shenanigans to the overall awesomeness of Iowa State? Do you feel that we’re somehow deficient in school spirit? I ask because you were quite the cranky-pants in your column. You didn’t seem to appreciate my favorite pastime — tailgating — or any other sort of riot and debauchery for that matter. You specifically mentioned being harassed due to your lack of support for *The* Iowa State Cyclones, so I guess I missed the point? Maybe I was supposed to take it as a celebration of school pride you’re admittedly deficient in? Or perhaps you feel our educational endeavors should supersede our collective fascination with getting a little boozy when the opportunity presents itself? There is where I believe you are wrong. I’m of the opinion that if you go to a bar, tailgate or party, drunk or otherwise, and you still don’t have fun, you at least tried. If you didn’t do any of the above, and instead sat at home writing for the Daily, that’s your fault. Here’s where our difference of opinion is: I think football and other athletic games are exactly the sort of excuse to throw a party with copious margaritas, cheap beer and mixed drinks

Partying with alcohol is not an inherently bad activity as long as common sense is used. Tailgating and sporting events offer opportunities for students to relax. File photo: Iowa State Daily

fashioned from whatever lies in your fridge. In fact, I’d estimate that on any given weekend during football season, a few million people agree with me as well. Honestly, I’m getting a bit sick of these complaints where folks get on their soapbox and wag fingers at the party crowd using generalizations and hysterics. The problem lies with accountability. If someone drinks to the point of alcohol poisoning, that’s their fault. If someone drinks and gets behind the wheel, that’s their fault. If someone uses their drunken state as an excuse for their actions, those were still

their actions. If someone takes non-consensual liberties with a woman on account of her intoxicated state, well, that’s a sore subject. I think the statistic is something like one in five girls before the age of 20. As far as the offender is concerned, the only words I’m able to produce aren’t even close to appropriate for a newspaper column. As for the ladies, all I can say is this: It’s disgusting that sexual assault should be a concern of yours, but it shouldn’t be an afterthought. Most college guys aren’t out on the weekends looking to eat ice cream and watch six hours of “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Keep an eye on your drink, stick with the people you know, and don’t hesitate to defend yourself. You know exactly where to aim. Make friends. Go to sporting events. Go to class. Party your face off. Enjoy your adventure. If drinking is part of that equation, be responsible. But, don’t sit at home and write angry letters for the Daily disguised as school spirit, that’s just silly. As for you, Mr. Belding, this is your invitation to come to an athletic event, tailgate or party, as long as you promise not to be a sourpuss. And hook me up with a Bayside Tigers shirt.

11 Days of Global Unity

Sharing peace can develop new opportunities from conďŹ&#x201A;icts As an Ames City Council member I share a special responsibility to represent the people of our community, but what does that really mean? For me it boils down to making the quality of life as high as possible for as many people in our community as possible. I deďŹ ne quality of life as those items that contribute to the ability to be happy and for me happiness means being at peace. Sharing peace is at the very core of my duties as a City Council member. So how do we work to increase quality of life and share peace? Obviously the City Council

Thomas Wacha is an Ames City Council First Ward Representative cannot pass a magic ordinance that would make everyone happy all of the time; nor can it resolve international issues, but we can work to ensure people in our community are safe while also promoting those things that contribute to high quality of life. This is a constant challenge because many things contribute to quality of life, each of us has a different idea of what increases or decreases quality of life and many quality of life issues are outside of the control of government.

As a community leader I practice and share peace by striving to be tolerant, to listen and reserve judgment, to build consensus, to be honest and to ďŹ nd middle ground. This certainly isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy, especially when dealing with complicated issues that often give way to conďŹ&#x201A;ict within our community. At the same time one must be realistic. While I strive to share peace through the above mentioned actions, I realize that peace is not easily achieved and that conďŹ&#x201A;ict is a part of life. Peace does not mean ignoring conďŹ&#x201A;ict, it means ďŹ nding ways to resolve it for the good of everyone.

In Korean, the word for crisis is made from characters meaning danger and opportunity. This is because crisis â&#x20AC;&#x201D; conďŹ&#x201A;ict â&#x20AC;&#x201D; can be positive or negative, depending on how we look at it. The key to turning conďŹ&#x201A;ict from danger to opportunity is equanimity â&#x20AC;&#x201D; having peace of mind and remaining calm, especially under stress. Achieving equanimity requires peace. Most of us can agree that things are constantly changing, yet when conďŹ&#x201A;ict arises we become so attached to our views that change can become unthinkable.

We also tend to blame those we disagree with without looking inside ourselves and without examining our own position objectively. Imagine if each of us could improve in this area. The effects would be great for us, our friends, our family, our neighborhood and our community. The next time a conďŹ&#x201A;ict arises; work on achieving peace where it must start â&#x20AC;&#x201D; within you. Ask yourself what you can do to help resolve the conďŹ&#x201A;ict. In the truest sense, peace is ultimately not in the hands of any group of elected officials but in yours. Share it.

Tattoos

Animals

The artful expression is worth the experience

Help manage pet population By Mischa.Olson iowastatedaily.com

By Cameron.Leehey iowastatedaily.com

think I was 10 or 11 when I realized that someday I would be covered in tattoos. Now, approaching the age of 24, my tattoo virginity long since lost, I feel compelled to share my point of view, and my experience. The tattooed are stigmatized. These attitudes are prominent enough that I feel the need to address them in brevity. It is often thought that those with tattoos are dirty, violent, and promiscuous. None of this is true. There is no uniform motivation to get a tattoo, nor are the tattooed a uniform group; they come from all walks of life and all states of mind. As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen, there is only one difference between those with ink and those without: People who have tattoos generally donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ask what someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s means since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired of hearing the question ourselves. There is a sentiment that since tattoos are permanent, they need to be profound, thought out for years and depict an element at oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core. First-timers tend to believe unless these requirements are met, they will someday regret their ink. Experience has taught me better. Although I agonized for months over my ďŹ rst tattoo â&#x20AC;&#x201D; an acronym of the band I was in at the time â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I have already outgrown it. And yet I do not lament the fact I will have â&#x20AC;&#x153;XTHâ&#x20AC;? on my skin for the rest of my days. I am reminded of who I was and where I have been. That tattoo is a living record of formative experiences, experiences I might otherwise forget as I age. I take solace in knowing I will not become the old man who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember what it was like to be a teenager. A tattoo is more than a form of selfexpression; it is a tether extending through time and space, anchored in the moment it was etched into ďŹ&#x201A;esh. People recall not only the symbolism of their tattoos, but also the places they lived, old friends and lovers, great victories and forsaken ambitions. Even little details, such as how the tattoo was paid for, are preserved in the mind by mark of ink. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear people with tattoos tell you ink is addictive. It is. Despite the large expense and, for some, considerable level of pain involved in getting a tattoo, once itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on you, you feel different. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like buying a desperately needed new wardrobe; your identity is embodied in your appearance when it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t before. But as you gaze upon your fresh ink, the area still shorn and raw, savor your satisfaction. It will soon bloom into a desire for more. That said, I highly recommend anyone considering his or her ďŹ rst tattoo to go through with it. Even though you will pay for it with cash, blood and a piece of your social status, what you get in return is worth much more.

Avoiding buying pets from stores can reduce overpopulation. Only one-fourth of all animal are adopted. Courtesy photo: m kasahara/Flickr

magine hundreds of dogs lined up on the MagniďŹ cent Mile in Chicago waiting for a home during an annual adoption event. Cute faces, wagging tails, but all I cared about was one of them: Allie. Of course Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m partial to her since she is my name-sake, but she was so much more than that. Allie was a 5-month-old hound mix. She was certainly one of the cutest puppies there. Within a few hours she knew how to sit and lay down better than some of the adult dogs. She was smart, outgoing and a playful puppy. A month later, I said good-bye to Allie for hopefully the last time. Allie was adopted in July 2010 and is now living happily in her forever-home.â&#x20AC;? Sadly, the majority of stories donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end like this one. Only around one-fourth of all animals that enter animal shelters are adopted, according to the American Humane Association. In 1997, 1,000 shelters were surveyed, 4.3 million animals were handled and 64 percent of them, 2.7 million animals, were euthanized. In one year, in only one-third of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shelters, almost three million animals lost their lives due to overcrowding. Pet overpopulation is an issue always present in our society. However many people, including myself, never realize the extent, seriousness or preventability of this issue. My roommate, Allie Bender, has worked in multiple animal shelters and is a strong

Saturday September 18th A Benefit for Autism Speaks U

advocate for improving the lives of homeless pets. When I began living with her I was like most people, legitimately concerned about the issues related to animal homelessness. However, I thought most stories ended like the one mentioned earlier. Living with Allie has brought this issue to the forefront of my thoughts. Think back to the above statistic. About three million animals were killed in one year. And that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even taking into account all the shelters within the United States. Perhaps even more startling than these statistics is that this problem could be dramatically reduced, and yet nothing has changed. Contrary to popular belief, a pet store is not the best place to buy an animal. Most reputable breeders do not provide animals to pet stores because breeders are deeply invested in the animals. Buying an animal from a reputable breeder is often an involved process, including possibly an application and a visit to your home by the breeder. The breeders are focused on the idea that a dog is a lifelong commitment and want you to value the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well being as much as they do. Pet stores, on the other hand, take advantage of impulse buying and will sell an animal to anyone, no matter how ill prepared they are to care for a constant companion. Many pet stores pay their employees based on commission. This creates a drive to convince people to buy pets, regardless of whether

or not theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready. Due to reputable breeders not selling to pet stores, an alternate source is found to satisfy buyers. Puppy mills are used to generate a constant supply of puppies by breeding dogs for proďŹ t. The inhumane situations created by puppy mills often increase the rate of genetic defects. Also, in search of higher proďŹ ts, some dealers falsify purebred documentation. Puppies produced by these inhumane conditions are often less social, less healthy and have no guarantee of a happy life once they pass through the store doors. To help reduce the number of puppy mills, long-term solutions are necessary. By avoiding pet stores and other unscrupulous breeders, future pet owners can remove the demand for instant puppies and instead create a system ensuring the health and happiness of all dogs. This system, actually, already exists. Animal shelters and rescue organizations provide future pet owners with the opportunity to meet their ideal companion. There are many common misconceptions about animal shelters and rescue organizations. A large myth is that shelters are full of problem animals no one wants, when in fact there are purebreds, puppies and animals that simply need a new home. The most common reason animals are relinquished to shelters is when their owners move to a new home and cannot take, or choose not to take, their animal with them. If you

are interested in a particular breed of dog, there are even some rescue organizations dedicated to ďŹ nding homes for speciďŹ c dog breeds. Another common misconception is that shelter animals are dirty and unhealthy. However, good shelters provide services such as shots, spay/neuter surgery, microchips and other amenities for a much lower cost than a store or veterinary clinics. The clear solution to pet overpopulation is giving a home to an animal that desperately needs one. As college students, the idea of a constant companion is very comforting. Remember, before you make the commitment, that this animal will be with you throughout the next phase of your life, through your next move, through getting married and having children, through the ďŹ rst steps in your career. Bringing an animal into your home is a lifetime commitment, for the lifetime of that animal. If you decide you are prepared to give an animal a home, make sure it will be their forever-home. Remember, you have the power to give a dog like Allie a happy life. Buying a dog at a pet store not only perpetuates the cycle of inhumane puppy mills, it also takes away the chance other dogs have to ďŹ nd a forever-home. So, next time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a pet store, think to yourself, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Is that doggie in the window worth the life of another?â&#x20AC;? Allie Bender contributed to this column

ISU moves on to a new Saturday Cyclones hit the road after 28-point loss

Arrowhead, another Saturday against Kansas State — but the Cyclone football team is just concerned with getting back in the win column Saturday in Kansas City, Mo. After a thorough 35-7 defeat against the No. 9 Iowa Hawkeyes last weekend, Iowa State is set for a neutral site match-up with the 2-0

By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com There are plenty of superlatives — Farmageddon, the game at

Wildcats, a Big 12 Conference game unusually early in the season. “It was a loss that was pivotal for us last year, in a positive sense, we were a football team trying to learn how to win ball games,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “Hopefully we can remember those lessons and continue to carry them over with the loss from

last week.” ISU quarterback Austen Arnaud said the team had already closed the book on the loss to the Hawkeyes, but playing Kansas State at Arrowhead Stadium means learning from another loss as well. Last year the Cyclones lost 24-23, as the Wildcats blocked an ISU point after try that would

have tied the game with :32 left on the clock. There is plenty for Iowa State to overcome in just a week, but Rhoads doesn’t think the pressure should weigh down any of his players. “I think playing with a chip on your shoulder and all that is overrated and can be counterproductive,”

Cy-Hawk rivalry continues in Ames

Coaches and fans alike got a good chance to analyze the new-look Cyclone hockey team at the annual scrimmage game Wednesday night at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. The intersquad game pitted the Cardinal team against the Gold, which won 5-3. But for coach Al Murdoch, productivity and hard work were most important. “I was really pleased,” Murdoch said. “I thought there was a lot of hustle and enthusiasm. The game was real fast, real physical and end-to-end action all the way. They were skating like they meant it.” The coaches put the two squads together using a player draft and divided the players equally. Murdoch started with 58 players Monday, and Tuesday and cut it down to 44 for the scrimmage game Wednesday night. While the freshmen were out to impress, Murdoch emphasized that the veterans did not get a free pass. “Everyone is playing for spots,” Murdoch said. “There are no guarantees for anybody.” One of those playing for a spot is freshman goaltender Scott Ismond. A native of Calgary, Alberta, Ismond stopped 18 of 20 shots he faced in 30 minutes of game action. “I felt good going in,” Ismond said. “Slapping that Iowa State logo on your chest is a lot to think about, but I think I played great. I was able to see shots and cleared away rebounds right away.” Both teams used a fast, up-tempo style of play. Freshman forward Jake Flynn had a goal and two assists, and freshman defenseman Kyle Van also had a goal. Murdoch acknowledged both players’ positive performances on the ice. “Flynn had a solid ﬁrst period and looked good on offense, and Van looked real good on defense,” Murdoch said. “Some other guys that are freshmen will have a hard time beating out Van and Flynn for spots. Those two are a couple of our top freshmen.” Flynn, a Washington native, enjoyed his ﬁrst game action on the ice with his teammates. “I really like playing with these guys,” Flynn said. “I thought I had a really good game, and I think that helped my chances of making the team.” Sophomore forward David Kurbatsky, who had a goal for the Cardinal team, knows Flynn from playing on the same juniors team two years ago. Kurbatsky played on the Cyclone team that made the playoffs last year. However, the vast array of new faces means playing smoothly together won’t happen overnight. “It’s going to take a while for the guys to develop chemistry,”

The Hawkeyes (6-1-0) are riding a six-game win streak coming into Friday’s match and one of their wins came against a Loyola-Chicago team that beat the Cyclones last weekend. Iowa State will have to overcome Iowa’s high-scoring offense, which has notched 17 goals already this season, well ahead of Iowa State’s 1.12 goal per game average. “Defensively, we need the high pressure,” said coach Wendy Dillinger. “We basically need to shut down their ability to find their forwards’ feet and then play backwards to the midfield. That’s what they look to do so that’s what we have to do to shut that down.”

>>WILDCATS.p12 Rhoads said. “They’re upset that we got beat soundly and by 28 points. I think the response and motivation to go win is strong regardless.” The Wildcats bring to Kansas City the 14th-ranked running game in the country, and senior running back Daniel Thomas is averaging 185.5 yards per game alone. At 6 feet, 2 inches and 228 pounds, Thomas has been the focus of the ISU defense this week. “He’s going to be as good a back as there is in this country I think, if he can stay healthy,” said defensive coordinator Wally Burnham. “This kid can get in the hole and make one jump

move and be going full-speed again. That’s what’s scary, he can break one for 90 yards on any snap.” Kansas State also runs a quarterback-running back option like the Cyclones haven’t faced this season, and while their passing yards don’t indicate much success, quarterback Chase Coffman is 16th in the country in quarterback efficiency. “I think we have all the physical tools to play, and we’ll be ready,” said sophomore linebacker Jake Knott. Slowing down the option and Thomas are enough of a challenge, but the Cyclones lost starting middle linebacker Matt Tau’fo’ou to a broken ﬁbula against the Hawkeyes, and will be extremely slim at linebacker.

Each of Iowa State’s (7-2, 0-1) first five Big 12 Conference matches are against the other five teams that occupied the top six spots in the Big 12’s preseason rankings. “I don’t know if it will be good or bad,” Johnson-Lynch said. “I think we’re playing well, so I like where we are at going into those matches, but I feel like with just about every team in the Big 12, especially on the road, you have to play well to win.” The Tigers (9-2, 1-0 in Big 12) are coming off of a 3-0 (26-24, 25-18, 25-21) conference-opening win over Texas Tech on Wednesday night. The win was the 100th for Wayne Kreklow, who is now in his sixth season as the coach at Missouri. The Tigers were ranked fifth in the

>>HOME.p6 Junior defender and co-captain Mary Kate McLaughlin has played a huge role for the Cyclones back line this season, and plans to use what she learned from their 0-2 loss to Iowa last year to help the team this time around. “We didn’t pressure as well as we should have last year, so we’re working on high pressure,” McLaughlin said. Iowa has several offensive weapons who could cause the Cyclones some headache, but McLaughlin said training with some of them this summer gave the team a bit of an idea who they were. One of the Hawkeyes Iowa State plans to pressure heavily is junior midﬁelder Morgan Showalter. “Morgan Showalter obviously is a very talented player on their side,” Dillinger said. “If we can try to limit her touches on the ball, that’s going to shut down their playmaking ability a bit. Iowa’s senior forward Keli McLaughlin challenged the Cyclones a lot last year as well, but Dillinger has a plan of attack that should keep her out of the net. “We cannot let her get behind us,” Dillinger said.”“She is incredibly fast, she’s dynamic, and if we give her any room at all behind us, she’s dangerous.” Sense of urgency and getting early goals have been something the Cyclones have somewhat struggled with this season, not being able to push across goals against Drake, North Dakota State and last weekend against Loyola-Chicago, but it is something they continue to work on and hope for some payoff against Iowa. “We’re always working on the ﬁrst few minutes of the game, getting a goal in the back of the net, high pressure, and really consistent urgency,” McLaughlin said. The out-of-state freshmen got a glimpse of the importance of the Cy-Hawk rivalry last weekend, and hope to make this weekend a little less victorious for the Hawkeyes. “I’m really excited because of all the talk people do about Iowa and Iowa State and the football game pumped us all up, I think because we just want to get back at them somehow,” said

Matt Morton is listed at the starter at strong side linebacker, as sophomore and leading tackler A.J. Klein moves to Tau’fo’ou’s spot in the middle. A 6-foot, 207-pound redshirt sophomore, Morton and if necessary, true freshman Jeremiah George will have to support the defense against Thomas and Coffman. “I’m worried of any snap they take. We’re so young, and I’m not using that as an excuse, but we’ve got to get better,” Burnham said. The Cyclone offense has a healthier lineup than their defensive counterparts but scoring just seven points on the road in the second game of the season means improvement is necessary. “We gotta score points.

Leading the Tigers to a 7-0 start this season for Kreklow was his niece, freshman setter Molly Kreklow, who came into the season as the Pre-Season All-Big 12 Freshman of the Johnson-Lynch Year. Kreklow has already been named Big 12 Rookie of the Week twice this season. Kreklow currently is averaging 11.89 assists per set, which is best in the Big 12, just ahead of ISU sophomore setter Alison Landwehr, who averages 11.61. A St. Louis, Mo., native, Landwehr is the only player from Missouri on the ISU roster. “I’m always really excited to go to Mizzou, because it’s only two hours from where I’m from,” Landwehr said. “All my family is coming and a lot of my

seven was OK in the home opener, seven was unacceptable in the second game. We’re at 17 points a game, that’s not enough to win enough football games,” Rhoads said. In the past, Big 12 Conference games didn’t begin until each team ﬁnished their non-conference schedule. Iowa State will play two Big 12 games before their non-conference games end in 2010. The Big 12’s scheduling of conference games will continue to overlap through Colorado’s planned departure in 2012. “I don’t think we have any less focus or concentration if we were playing any other team this week,” Rhoads said.

friends are driving from schools all over to come.” The Tigers also boast preseason All-Big 12 outside hitter Paola Ampudia. The 6-foot-1-inch outside hitter from the country of Colombia transferred to Missouri last season and is now a favorite for Big 12 Player of the Year. She was named Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and ﬁrstteam All-Big 12 team last season. Ampudia leads the Tigers this season with 3.78 kills per set. “She attacks from everywhere. She attacks from the back row options and the front row options, so we’ll have to keep track of her and where she is,” Johnson-Lynch said. The Cyclones will face tough offensive attacks in back-to-back games after going against Nebraska’s Hanna Werth on Wednesday and preparing for Ampudia on Saturday. The challenge of facing good opposing hitters, though, is a welcome one for the ISU defense.

When: 11 a.m. Saturday Where: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Mo. Media: Fox Sports Network, Cyclone Radio 1430 AM, Sirius Satellite 154 Notes: Iowa State leads the alltime series, 49-40-4. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder is 14-4 against the Cyclones. The Wildcats received votes for the AP Top 25 this week, and listed No. 41 through voting points.

“It’s always fun having a really good hitter to go against. It’s kind of something to focus on,” said junior middle blocker Debbie Stadick. “Sometimes, almost the more you have to think about it, the better you do, so it can be an advantage if you take it the right way.” Stadick posted her two best statistical matches as a Cyclone last season in the pair of Cyclone victories over the Tigers. Stadick posted a career-high 15 kills on a .355 clip when Iowa State hosted Missouri and swung for another 14 kills on a .357 clip when the Cyclones traveled to Columbia last November. “We’re a different team this year, so you never know what’s going to happen, but we have just been doing such a good job of getting oneon-one situations, so hopefully we’ll all be able to have really good nights against them this year too,” Stadick said. Match time is scheduled for 3 p.m. Saturday with live stats available on Cyclones.com.

Friday will be the Cyclones’ last home game until they start Big 12 play Sept. 26 against Kansas, and the they hope a win against Iowa can prepare them well for the Big 12 season. “For us, we look at every game equally and we want to work equally as hard,” McLaughlin said. “Iowa is a very good team being a part of the Big 10, and that will deﬁnitely prepare us for our Big 12 games as well.” Freshman keeper Maddie Jobe, will start her sixth consecutive game in net Friday, as fellow goalie senior Ashley Costanzo is still recovering from the injury suffered Aug. 27 against Montana. The Cyclones will have a week off to recuperate from the Cy-Hawk showdown under the lights. Iowa State gets back to action Sept. 24 against South Dakota State on the road.

Iowa (6-1)

Where: ISU Soccer Complex When: 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 17 Notes: The game will be Iowa State’s first at the ISU Soccer Complex after August flooding in Ames forced the Cyclones to play their first home game in Ankeny. Iowa is riding a six-game winning streak after dropping its first game against DePaul, 2-0. Iowa has outscored opponents 17-3 in its first seven games this season. The Hawkeyes’ schedule over that span is 6-1. The Hawkeyes have three scorers tied for the team lead with three goals each.

Kurbatsky said. “It’s going be a battle and a lot of action this year, with guys battling for spots and trying to prove themselves.” Murdoch now has the difficult task of selecting the final 28 who will make the Division I team to play Friday against St. Cloud State University — the rest will fill out the D-III roster. Because Friday’s game is the first regular season game, players are anxious to get out there and play for real. “I expect the guys to come out and fight for the first game at home,” Ismond said. “For a lot of guys it’s their first game and they want to make a good impression. Playing strong is key, and of course you want to impress the fans.” Captain Cort Bulloch echoes his teammates comments, adding that the fans will see the Cyclones’ style of play right out of the gate. “We’re going to come out and play our game, skate hard and finish every check,”

Bulloch said. “It will deﬁnitely be a good barometer for us to see where we’re at.” St. Cloud State will send their equivalent of a second team to Ames for the weekend series. Murdoch expects a good opponent facing his young squad. “We’ll have our hands full with SCSU,” Murdoch said. “They are a good skating team. It’ll be a solid game. A good test for both teams.” The coaches will stress conditioning and special teams during practice. Murdoch especially preaches that physical, up-tempo style of play, led by the captain Bulloch. St. Cloud State will face the Cyclones twice this weekend. For the Cyclones to win both games, Murdoch stressed one main thing. “It boils down to maintaining possession of the puck,” Murdoch said. “I think they’ll have good speed and be good with the puck, but possession will be very important.” The ﬁrst game of the season is 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to tell you, this is just awful.

Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Two years ago, the Tech wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve given the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Horns a run for their money. Now, Texas will just run away.

Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I feel dirty picking Iowa two weeks in a row. Unfortunately, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re too good not to.

Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Texas Tech is a good team under new coach Tommy Tuberville, but not good enough.

Stanford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stanford is better than people think. The ACC is worse than people think. Standford wins big in this one.

Kansas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; KU impressed me last week in the upset over Georgia Tech. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give Turner Gill the slight edge in this one.

Nebraska â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Nebraska hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been challenged so far this season, and its defense is just too much for the Huskies to handle.

Auburn â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Clemson hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impressed me and they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be impressive in this game either. Look for Auburn to roll.

Iowa- Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack is too balanced and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see the Wildcats putting up much of a ďŹ ght defensively. This one could get ugly fast.

Stanford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Stanford has reloaded after Toby Gerhart went to the NFL and Wake Forest is still a basketball school.

Kansas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Although they have a new coach, they will make it two in a row.

Nebraska â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Cornhuskers seem to have it all together on offense and defense.

Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Longhorns will leave no doubts about their team and its solid #6 ranking.

Stanford â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Cardinal is well coached and will have an excellent game plan to keep them in the top 25.

>>BUDGET.p1 athletic revenue coming from the university. The strategy to relieve Iowa State athletics of the support had been in place since March 2010 and was laid out by administration officials. With total athletic revenue rising from $22.3 million to $41.6 million since 2000, Cyclone teams will now be an Iowa State and not State of Iowa enterprise. University of Iowa athletics have been without general university or state funding since 2007. A small amount of funding will continue to be allocated to all state universities for student athletes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That does still include, however, tuition set aside funds from the student-athletes that are members of the athletic department, and a portion of those funds will be used to support scholarships in athletics,â&#x20AC;? Geoffrey said. Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current plan has the athletic department cutting from under $3.1 million to zero in just under two years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a much sharper drop than the seven years the University of Iowa took to drop $1.9 million of its university funding since 2001.

The move for athletic sustainability happened as Iowa State was granted $50 million for ďŹ&#x201A;ood recovery just hours prior in the ballroom of UNIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Maucker Union. The spending cut ISU athletics took in front of the board hardly offset the cost of this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s natural disaster, but the state of Iowa is working to cut as much unnecessary spending as possible in the current recession. Athletics were directly in the ďŹ&#x201A;ood talk, as a golf maintenance shed was the only campus building that needed to be entirely replaced. Hilton Coliseumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;ooding received talking points around the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We obviously want to qualify for reimbursement, on the other hand we want to get back in [Hilton],â&#x20AC;? said ISU Vice President of Business and Finance Warren Madden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe you can reinforce stronger doors, seals, and the kind of things that collapsed this time around.â&#x20AC;? University of Northern Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s major athletics revenue was the focus of discussion and tension during the discussion. The host of the Board of Regentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meeting has been slower to cut its dependence in athletics, as their lower-level Football Championship

Subdivision team and Missouri Valley conference sports donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide the revenue necessary for complete independence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We cannot operate our athletic program as a self-sustaining auxiliary,â&#x20AC;? said UNI President Benjamin Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not know of any Division I program that plays our level of football, that is self-sustaining.â&#x20AC;? The Board of Regents accepted Allenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to reduce UNI athletic funding to 2.4 percent of their total university support, and keep that as a maximum for the length of his four-year plan. Panther athletics budgeted to have $4.5 million come from university support â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 38.8 percent of Northern Iowa athletic revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The existence of athletics makes [studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;] experience better,â&#x20AC;? Allen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The existence of athletics brings visibility to the program, so people look at our great academic programs.â&#x20AC;? Allen was joined by Panther Athletic Director Troy Dannen, who offered part of Northern Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal to add another Football Bowl Subdivision opponent to its football schedule in 2013 when its scheduling window opens.

The Panthers are slated to take on University of Iowa or Iowa State each year until 2017. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It does put our own backs against the wall when it comes to playoff qualiďŹ cation, because year in and year out the school with 22 less scholarships is not expected to win those games, even though weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had our own fair share of success,â&#x20AC;? Dannen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would anticipate that going forward.â&#x20AC;? In the proposal, the board questioned whether the Big 12 Conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s realignment and loss of Nebraska and Colorado would negatively affect revenue. While Geoffrey wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t questioned on the answer in the discussion, the university replied to the question in the proposal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The future Big 12 conference membership change has no impact on the Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed plan to reduce University support to Athletics,â&#x20AC;? according to the proposal. Current funding from Iowa State athletics comes from fundraising, ticket sales, the Big 12 conference, sponsorships, student fees and university support. Once the ďŹ scal year 2011 reaches a close, the entirety of the budget will come from sources other than the university.

Joke of the Day A professor of Psychology 101 had a class of300 students. The professor told his students that his ďŹ nal was not a cumulative ďŹ nal and just covered the information since the last midterm and would only require 1 hour of the 2 hour alloted time. The professor told the students to bring a large Blue Book. The students requested the exam to begin at 9am instead of 8am since they only had an hour. The professor denied the request because the professor prefered to use the second hour to begin grading the exams. The students moaned at the idea of waking up early. The morning of the exam, the test began at 8:10. At 8:35, a late student walked in and picked up the test questions from the professor. The professor told the student he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solution

have enough time to complete the test. The student replied â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes I will.â&#x20AC;? At 9:10, the professor stopped the test and all the students turned in their blue books as they exited the room. The late student continued to write. The professor began grading some the exams. At 9:35, the student walked up to the desk to hand in his exam, and the professor told him it was unacceptable. The student in a surprised manner asked the professor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you know who I am?â&#x20AC;? The professor replied, â&#x20AC;&#x153;No, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care.â&#x20AC;? The student said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good,â&#x20AC;? and he stuffed his exam in the middle of the stack of 300 blue books. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Have a nice Summerâ&#x20AC;? said the student as he left the room.

Gunman kills himself, ailing mother at hospital By Alex Dominguez The Associated Press

>>LIED.p1 ting colder out, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot easier just to come here,â&#x20AC;? said Adam Bornholtz, freshman in meteorology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more stuff to do and it keeps you from getting fat. Now that this is open itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge help to stay active.â&#x20AC;? Like students, many athletic teams and clubs that called Lied home had to make other arrangements for some practices or working out. Most athletic teams were forced to relocate to Jacobson Athletic Building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was stressful for a while just because all of the student athletes were in one place, but football did awesome accommodating everyone since it is their facility,â&#x20AC;? said Kelly Anne Roach, senior in kinesiology and health and athletic trainer for menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis and golf.

The biggest difficulty the teams ran into was scheduling, because they tried not to have everyone in the facility at the same time, Roach said. The teams gave each other rides to the building to accommodate freshmen that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have access to cars, to spare them the extended walk. After having to relocate from their home ďŹ eld due to the ďŹ&#x201A;ooding, the soccer team will host its ďŹ rst game Friday at the ISU Soccer Complex. Student employees of Lied also had to make accommodations with the closure of their workplace. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily student managers were able to work shifts and substitute at Beyer [Hall],â&#x20AC;? said Matt Jones, Lied student supervisor and senior in mechanical engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students that were unable to ďŹ nd shifts were just out of work for the time.â&#x20AC;?

BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A man who became distraught as he was being briefed on his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition by a surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital pulled a gun and shot the doctor Thursday, then killed his mother and himself in her room at the world-famous medical center, police said. The doctor, who was wounded in the abdomen, was expected to survive. The gunman, 50-yearold Paul Warren Pardus, had been listening to the surgeon around midday when he â&#x20AC;&#x153;became emotionally distraught and reacted ... and was overwhelmed by the news of his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition,â&#x20AC;? Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III said. Pardus pulled a semiautomatic gun from his waistband and shot the doctor once, the commissioner said. The doctor, identiďŹ ed by colleagues as orthopedic surgeon David B. Cohen, collapsed outside the eighth-ďŹ&#x201A;oor room where Pardusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mother, Jean Davis, was being treated. Pardus then holed up in the room in a more than two-hour standoff that led authorities to lock down a small section of the Nelson Building while allowing the rest of the sprawling red-brick medical complex â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a cluster of hospital, research and education buildings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to remain open. When officers made their way to the room, they found Pardus and his mother shot to death, he on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor, she in her bed.

He saw this as the perfect group to tackle the project, Colbert said, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an educational activity, since students and volunteers learn about issues such as land stewardship, water quality and organismal

Bealefeld said he did not know what the woman was being treated for at Hopkins, a world-class institution widely known for its cancer research and treatment. It is part of Johns Hopkins University, which has one of the foremost medical schools in the world. Harry Koffenberger, vice president of security, said the hospital uses handheld metal detectors to screen patients and visitors known to be highrisk. However, with 80 entrances and 80,000 visitors a week, it is not realistic to place metal detectors and guards everywhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not in a health-care setting,â&#x20AC;? Koffenberger said. The hospital will review procedures and look again at the use of metal detectors, he said. Michelle Burrell, who works in a coffee shop in the hospital lobby, said she was told by employees who were on the ďŹ&#x201A;oor where the doctor

was shot that the gunman was angry with the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment of his mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy,â&#x20AC;? she said. Pardus was from Arlington, Va., and had a handgun permit in that state, police said. The gunman was initially identiďŹ ed as Warren Davis, but police later said that was an alias. The wounded doctor, an assistant professor at the medical school, underwent surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The doctor will be OK,â&#x20AC;? police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the best place in the world â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at Johns Hopkins Hospital.â&#x20AC;? With more than 30,000 employees, the Johns Hopkins medical system is Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest private employer. The hospital has more than 1,000 beds and more than 1,700 fulltime doctors. The Nelson Building is the main hospital tower. The eighth ďŹ&#x201A;oor is home to orthopedic, spine, trauma and thoracic services.

diversity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably a lot of trash in the river due to the recent ďŹ&#x201A;ooding,â&#x20AC;? Colbert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We like to minimize the amount of Ames and ISU trash that ends up in the Gulf of Mexico.â&#x20AC;? More than 1,000 participants will help cleanup: volunteers, 120 BEST students, microbiology students and faculty doing bacterial measurements, BEST Mentors,

members of the Biological Sciences Club and incoming ISU freshmen biology majors as well as Skunk River Navy students who have participated in previous years. More than 57 tons of trash has been removed since the start of the program in 1998, Colbert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We average about 3,000 pounds of trash every time we go out, which is around 1.5 tons,â&#x20AC;? Colbert said.

>>FLOOD.p1 ed by the ďŹ&#x201A;ood, and 42 were indirectly effected because of drainage and electrical damages, Warren said. The ďŹ&#x201A;oods damaged more than 84,000 square feet on campus. Even though several ďŹ&#x201A;ood mitigation efforts were put in place after the 1993 ďŹ&#x201A;ood, the water found other ways into buildings, Warren said. The water came through Hilton Coliseum on the west side of the building after doors and glass windows collapsed. Madden said water came through Scheman through the doors on the north walls. Several other buildings had ďŹ&#x201A;ood damages including the Family Resource Center, which was more recently constructed and supposed to be above ďŹ&#x201A;ood levels. Madden listed other buildings impacted, including the Veenker Memorial Golf Course Maintenance Building, University Village apartment building 113, the CyRide facilities on the north side of campus, the Campbell Transit Hub, the intramural softball ďŹ eld and volleyball courts, Palmer Hall and Lagomarcino Hall. Madden said the track in Lied has been cleared for use this season, but will have to eventually be replaced.

No water got into the Maple, Willow or Larch dorms because of efforts made after 1993. There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough time to remove property from the lower level of Hilton, where there is some expensive machinery, Madden said. Officials are looking at moving some of the machinery, including the equipment to operate the scoreboard. He said there has even been talk of installing reservoirs and levies as proposed in the 1960s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flooding itself doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take very long to happen then, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. The planning and mitigation efforts take a long time,â&#x20AC;? Madden said.â&#x20AC;?Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be at this for a year or two. We think we have worked through this very effectively.â&#x20AC;? Douglas True, from the Finance and Operations at the University of Iowa, told the regents they have received $57 million from insurance and $8 million from FEMA, after the campus ďŹ&#x201A;ooded in 2008. True said the main mitigation effort is to rethink what different ďŹ&#x201A;ood elevations are. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 500-year ďŹ&#x201A;ood level? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 100year ďŹ&#x201A;ood level?â&#x20AC;? True said. He discovered they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any meaning. True said parameters were established so the university wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t build any closer to the river. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to assure Iowa State a reservoir isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
