Land prices at all-time high Not a time to worry with sales of Iowa farm holdings at record levels By Randi.Reeder @iowastatedaily.com

Online:

Farm land values are currently at their highest in Iowa’s history. Right now, corn is at $6.25 per bushel while soybeans are

at $11.70 per bushel. With farmers being able to cash in, the expenses of operation go up as well, including the land value prices. The reported 2011 state average for all grades of land was estimated at $6,708 per acre, according

to Iowa State University Extension Farm Management Specialist and professor of economics Michael Duffy. The report came from the 2011 Iowa Land Value Survey.

Police: Huxley woman charged in deaths of twin daughters By Morgan Fleener Daily staff writer A Huxley woman has been arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the Burkle deaths of two newborn twin daughters. Jackie Nichole Burkle, 22, is facing charges of two counts of first degree murder, a class A felony, that is punishable to life in prison for each count if convicted. Police said Burkle told them she killed the twin girls around 7:30 a.m. Friday. The investigation began after one of Burkle’s co-workers expressed concern to police about noticing Burkle had appeared pregnant one day and then suddenly appeared to not be pregnant two days later. The report said Burkle’s co-worker said she was concerned about the location of the child’s whereabouts. According to the complaint and affidavit filed for the case, Burkle admitted to killing the children and later told authorities they could find the bodies in the trunk of her vehicle. Burkle was arrested Tuesday afternoon. Burkle is currently being held at the Story County Jail on $500,000 bail for each count. A preliminary hearing has been set for Jan. 20.

Director eases into Leopold Center By Maia.Zewert @iowastatedaily.com

File Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily Mark Rasmussen gives a presentation on Dec. 5, 2011, at the Curtiss Hall. Rasmussen will be the new director for Iowa State’s Leopold Center of Sustainable Agriculture.

The Leopold Center of Sustainable Agriculture has named microbiologist Mark Rasmussen as its new director. Rasmussen currently works in the Office of Research at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine in Laurel, Md. as a supervisory microbiologist and director of the Division of Animal and Food Microbiology. “Right now I deal with all the administrative duties for the department, facilitating the work of others,” Rasmussen said.

NH primary sets stage for Mitt Romney in SC By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa Caucus winner and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won the firstin-the-nation Republican primary in New Hampshire on Tuesday night in a fashion that can only help his case to become the Republican Party presidential nominee. Garnering almost a hundred thousand votes, or thir-

ty-nine percent of the attendees, Romney beat the second place finisher, Congressman Ron Paul, by more than sixteen percent. “The New Hampshire primary put Romney on the path to getting the nomination,” said James McCormick, Chair of the Department of Political Science. The majority of political pundits and professors all agreed before the primary

that Mitt Romney was going to win mostly because New Hampshire borders Massachusetts and reflexively the former governor is well known there. That being said, it appears that the focus of the primary was mostly on who was going to finish second to Romney, which in this case was Ron Paul who also finished third last week in the

Pitt, Jolie pay visit to White House A big slice of Hollywood came to the White House Wednesday when President Barack Obama greeted Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in the Oval Office. For a brief moment, the White House press corps was transformed into a pack of paparazzi as the star couple was spotted through the Oval Office windows during a previously unannounced visit with the president. A senior White House official later told CNN that Pitt and Jolie were in Washington to screen a new movie Jolie directed about Bosnian war crimes, “In the Land of Blood and Honey.” Deputy White House Press Secretary Jamie Smith told CNN that Obama spoke with Jolie “about her work to raise the profile of preventing mass atrocities and combating sexual violence against women.”

Jeff Probst directing again for feature film

ARCHITECTURE: Integrating conditions

Jeff Probst is looking for a few good men and women — not to compete on “Survivor,” but to star in a film he’s directing. The reality TV show host is currently casting for a movie called “Kiss Me,” a feature film he plans to begin shooting in Los Angeles next month. He has already lined up John Corbett (“Sex and the City”, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) to play one role, and 20-year-old Irish actress Sarah Bolger (“In America”) to play the lead. The film is described as a coming of age story that follows a girl “through the physical and emotional growing pains of her teen years.” A casting notice for the movie adds details on the lead character: “Forced to wear a back brace to cure her scoliosis, Zoe must navigate complicated relationships with her mother Edith, her best friend Shelby and Chance, a married man whose kids she babysits.”

Jill Maltby, sophomore in architecture, works on a project with the help of Tony Gonzalez, also a sophomore in architecture, on Wednesday at the College of Design.

Carrie Chapman Catt Center

Women Impacting ISU calendar unveiled By Leah.DeGraaf @iowastatedaily.com Twelve women from Iowa State will be honored Thursday for the positive impact they have made on campus. The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics is unveiling its sixth annual Women Impacting ISU calendar for 2012 during a recognition reception in the Campanile Room of the Memorial Union from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

“I love the term ‘impacting.’ It implies a true contribution to others and to a whole,” said Dan Rice, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences academic adviser and member of this year’s selection committee. The calendar, in poster format, displays photographs of the 12 selected women, six students and six faculty or staff members, and will be handed out following the Thursday unveiling. “So many of the women chosen are not people that are well known

on campus. It’s really bringing awareness to the amazing things that women at every level are bringing to ISU,” said Julie Snyder-Yuly, program coordinator for the center. Students selected for the 2012 calendar are Molly Heintz, senior in animal science; Aja Holmes, graduate student in educational leadership and policy studies; Ahna Kruzic, senior in sociology; Alejandra Navarro, senior in animal ecology; Kayla Nielsen, senior in psychology; and Jingtao Wang, graduate student in interdisciplinary

studies. Faculty and staff selected are Sharon Bird, associate professor of sociology; Joy Ensley, secretary for the Dean of Students office; Kathleen Jones, associate vice president of Student Affairs and registrar; Susan Lammers, program coordinator of Schilletter/University Village; Shelley Taylor, assistant director of Global Agriculture Programs; and Ann Thompson, professor of curriculum and instruction and director of the Center for Technology in

Learning and Teaching. This year, the committee received a total of 41 nominations. Nominations can be submitted by anyone. However, the nominated women have to be a current faculty member, employee or student at Iowa State University. “I was impressed with all the nominations,” Rice added. “We continue to have some fantastically talented and motivated women at Iowa State, and they touch thousands of us on a daily basis.”

Election

New Hampshire win provides Romney momentum By Kasie Hunt Associated Press COLUMBIA, S.C. — Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney braced for a brutal 10-day onslaught in South Carolina as he looks to turn the first-in-the-South primary into the last stand for his Republican rivals. Coming off twin victories in Iowa and New Hampshire, the former Massachusetts governor was already trying Wednesday to lower expectations that he’ll win in a state defined by notoriously nasty politics, conservative Christians and an active tea party — elements his rivals hope they can use to slow what’s beginning to look like a sprint to the nomination. “Clearly I face more of an uphill battle in South Carolina than I have here in New Hampshire,” Romney said as he boarded his campaign plane in Bedford, Mass., en route to Columbia. He lost in South Carolina in 2008. “Last time I came in fourth,” he said, “so, you know,

>>LAND.p1 This survey has been conducted since 1941 and is sponsored annually by the Iowa Agriculture and Home Economics Experiment Station at Iowa State University. The 2011 Iowa Land Value Survey results are available to view on the Web page for Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. “The survey is conducted by licensed real estate brokers and selected informed people around the state who tell us what they think the general trends will be for land,” Duffy said.

Reasons for increase

our team recognizes this is going to be a challenge.” Among those challenges: fighting against attacks on his time at Bain Capital, keeping his campaign on message after verbal missteps about pink slips and liking to fire people, and staying vigilant for any whisper campaign about his Mormon religion. Rivals Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were scrambling to break through and become a viable conservative alternative to Romney. The early contests scrambled the field, with Santorum nearly winning in Iowa but falling back in New Hampshire. Gingrich led polls in December but faded in the face of withering attacks from Romney’s allies on the airwaves in Iowa. “We have everybody now gunning with full-time desperation. For most all of them, there is no life after South Carolina,” said Warren Tompkins, Romney’s strategist in the state. “Desperate people do desperate things.”

Most important, Romney aides say, is trying to ensure no single conservative opponent emerges so he can move into Florida from a position of strength. Romney is the only candidate with a full operation there, with calls, mail and TV ads — and his top advisers now see it as the place where Romney can prove he’s the only candidate able to go the distance. Florida’s sizable Hispanic population means it’s also an opportunity for Romney to look ahead to the general election. He’s now on the air with a Spanish-language ad featuring his son Craig, who speaks Spanish. And on the trail, Romney is dropping hints that he’ll focus his general election efforts on Latino voters. “I need to get 50.1 percent of Americans behind me,” Romney said during a speech in Nashua, N.H. If he can win over Latino Americans, “I can do well pretty broadly.” First, he’ll have to face down South Carolina — and the millions in super PAC advertising that will be directed

ing substantially and is projected to increase even more. “Another factor is that interest rates are as low as they can go,” Duffy said. “Lower interest rates also drive up the amount of people wanting to buy. It’s truly no surprise as to why this is happening.” According to Duffy, since 2006, farmers have been getting better prices due to the production of ethanol and global sales. “In 2005, corn prices averaged $1.94 per bushel in Iowa but in November of 2011 corn was projected at $6.05,” according to the survey. “The only year prices weren’t good was in 2009.”

price, whether that is buying or renting. “Well, at my age, I’m not too worried about buying any more land, so the increase doesn’t affect me much on that aspect.” said Bill Hanson, farmer from Sioux City, Iowa, over the phone while unloading a wagon of grain at the Sioux City ADM grain elevator. “I’m also not concerned about the price this year, for I already negotiated my rent price, and it’s locked in. Plus I’ve been renting from the same owners for years.” For new farmers who have not made those connections with renters, the competition from established farmers such as Hanson, as well as the high land values, make it look less hopeful. The survey also showed that 74 percent of the land sold was to existing farmers, and only 3 percent was sold to new farmers. “The increasing values

mean a lot to me,” said Jacob Petersen, a recent Iowa State graduate with a double degree in animal and dairy science, who is trying to start his own farm. “Not only is it harder to buy land but also to rent land.” Some advice from Duffy was not to worry. “It has always been this way. If you look back in history, all the way into the ‘20s, a person who wants to get into the farming industry started as the hired hand and worked their way up into ownership. Almost all new farmers first become part of the family operation before branching off and starting their own. As a young person, you just do not have the capital,” he said That was also the viewpoint of Hanson. “That’s how I started. I had a job teaching, plus I farmed; that is how a person is going to have to start.” The reality of the circumstances is nothing new to Derek Rawson, junior in ag-

ricultural studies. “As of right now, I can only contribute to the family farm by putting in my time and labor efforts. With going to school and only having part-time jobs, I cannot help out yet financially. After graduating, I plan to have a full-time job to build up my finances while continuing to help out with the family operation.” This is also the case for Petersen. “I graduated in December of this past year, and I am currently working for Dr. [Kathleen] Delate in the organic ag program at Iowa State. What I want to start is a dairy. I’m in the process of buying a place about 3 miles from my parent’s farm. That way I can continue to help out my dad and older brother on the family operation, while working to make an income and to finance my own operation.”

When asked what the future holds for the industry regarding the ever increasing land price values, Duffy does not believe that a repeat of the ‘80s farm crisis would occur. “The banks have been pretty conservative about not giving out large loans,” he said. As stated in the overview, debt does not seem to be increasing; however, the longer land values increase, the more potential there is for poorer quality loans.

Iowa Caucus. It is believed that a second place finish would bolster that candidate’s credentials just days before the important South Carolina primary on January 21. “Romney and Paul are the clear winners [in New Hampshire],” McCormick said. “It showed that Paul definitely has some staying power but on the other hand he is not an immediate threat to Romney. ... He has kind of hit his ceiling in terms of support.” Political Science professor Dianne Bystrom also agreed with the analysis that Romney and Paul both came out of New Hampshire with some momentum that could help them in future primaries. “Romney had a good showing, and Paul showed that he wasn’t just a flash in the pan in Iowa,” Bystrom said. “He [Ron Paul] had a good organization and did pretty well in Iowa, getting twenty-three percent in New Hampshire.” After Romney and Paul, former Utah governor and ambassador to China, Jon Huntsman, who put most of his campaign efforts into New Hampshire, finished a respectable third with seventeen percent of the vote and, despite not finishing second, has vowed to continue his campaign into South Carolina. “Huntsman put all of his eggs in New Hampshire but he didn’t have a really good showing,” Bystrom said. “After South Carolina I expect him and some other candidates to drop out of the race.” Rounding out the bottom half of the Primary results were former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who

for a two day visit and gave a presentation. Rasmussen was ultimately offered the job. “He was a good candidate from the search committee’s point of view due to his understanding and commitment to the mission of the Leopold Center,” Quisenberry said. Although he has not yet officially started at the Leopold Center, Rasmussen is being eased into the job. Thanks to teleconferencing, he has been able to sit in on meetings at the Leopold Center to learn how things work. He also intends to visit with Frederick Kirschenmann, who served as director for the Leopold Center from July 2000 to November 2005 and is now recognized as a Distinguished Fellow of the Leopold Center. One of the points Rasmussen made when he delivered his presentation was that he wished to see the Leopold Center maintain itself as a forum for the controversial and uncomfortable questions, such as the interrelationship between food and energy. This is a mission he hopes to see through during his time at the organization. “You simply telegraph the message that these kinds of questions can be asked and discussed,” Rasmussen said. “We’re not taking sides; we’re just saying that it’s okay to talk about these types of things.” Another idea Rasmussen proposed was approaching farm owners about setting aside small areas with hard-to-farm land, which could help improve the water and soil quality for these areas. Rasmussen has been welcomed both to the Leopold Center and to Iowa State University with open arms due to his experience and interest and new research. “Dr. Rasmussen is an exceptional scientist with very strong administrative experience,” said Wendy Wintersteen, dean of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. “He understands all aspects of Iowa agriculture and we believe that these characteristics will help him to be a great success in the role of director.” “I am thrilled [about the position], and I look forward to the opportunity to join the Leopold Center and Iowa State University,” Rasmussen said.

both received ten percent, while Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who has spent the majority of his time campaigning in South Carolina, brought in only one percent. Looking ahead to the South Carolina primary, the growing consensus is that it could be a make or break moment for Romney as well as the other GOP candidates. “Given the conservative candidate options are divided among South Carolina voters, I expect Romney will squeak out another win,” McCormick said. Despite coming off key wins in Iowa and New Hampshire and leading in some polls in South Carolina, Dr. Bystrom pointed out that Romney still has some

And two, looking at exit polls from Iowa and New Hampshire, he doesn’t do too well with Tea Party conservatives and independents ... Ron Paul did better in these groups than Romney.” As always, the big test of relevance for the GOP candidates will be the primary on January 21 in South Carolina.

cause there is a request for both state dollars and a tuition increase. Rep. Dave Deyoe said, “I recognize the regents have gone through some difficult times in the last 10 years. There have been cuts, and state support has declined. I would hope that whatever we do, we can fund the regents in a way that is consistent and sustainable. They should be able to count on what they are getting and plan appropriately. We have a good relationship with the regents from the Capitol, and I’m looking forward to working with [ISU] President Leath.” Gronstal also said in his speech, “The ultimate goal of education reform isn’t higher test scores. It is a more talented, more productive, more competitive workforce. It is the nurturing of more inventive, innovative Iowa entrepreneurs. That’s why we must do more to recruit, develop and support great teachers. That’s why we must expand access to math and science education. That’s why we must make college more affordable.” “Obviously the quality of education is one of the primary issues this session,” Deyoe said. “Grade level reading requirements are a bit of a controversy but I think it’s important to make sure students are reading at their grade level or get the help they need. It’s important for high school students to be prepared and have the necessary knowledge

before they graduate and go to college. If we hold people to a higher standard they usually work better.” Quirmbach agrees with Deyoe that it is “crucial to have a good foundation with K-12 education.” Gov. Terry Branstad released his 150 page education bill on Wednesday morning. There is a strong push by the legislative body to not only create educated students but to give those students as many opportunities to prosper after they have completed their education. Sen. Quirmbach and Rep. Deyoe both agree that not only bringing in new job opportunities but sustaining the ones already available is the best way to achieve that goal. “We want to do the best we can to promote job growth within the state,” Quirmbach

said. “There is no magic bullet here, but one of the elements is granting relief for commercial and industrial property taxes. State dollars will be used over four years to buy down property tax by $50 million for the first year, then stepping that up additionally each year by 50 million until we reach 200 million, providing we have enough growth in revenue. Our property tax relief is targeted towards small business, which is where a lot of jobs are created.” Deyoe furthered, “I think the most important thing we can do here as a state government is to create an environment that is going to encourage companies to want to expand here. Growing the economy is just as much about retaining the business that are here as it is about getting new business to come here.”

Politics

Don’t reward the immoral ‘Jersey’ cast Four seasons of “Jersey Shore” have come out, and the fifth is again coming soon. If you have not seen the series, it is commonly known for public intoxication and indecent exposure: issues we all consider shameful and embarrassing. But sadly the humiliating and degrading conduct which is only acceptable in Iowa City and Las Vegas changes its tone when money and publicity are involved. Flagrant behavior is bad when it is of a private nature. No one aspires to see his or her name in the police blotter, and promiscuity is frowned upon in most all social circles. Parents expect us to be ladies and gentlemen, and most of us feel a certain sense of disappointment when we act contrarily. So why is this behavior accepted as entertainment? Entertainment comes in thousands of forms which we all enjoy while it still reflects our private virtues and principles. We don’t need to cross into the base to have a good time, and in most instances base and entertainment are incompatible. For example, Snooki’s actions might be considered promiscuous, unchaste, and loose. To say it nicely, it’s smut. Yet Snooki’s character is one of the most popular in pop culture. We give the soiled, brash behavior more than acceptance and toleration when we contribute to its public spectacle. By buying into the new standard of entertainment, we’ve raised it to a new level of glory and greatness. Everyone dreams of glory by doing great things, saving lives and contributing to the common cause. We value fortunes made by hard work and innovation. What innovation do we support through Jersey shore? In season one each character was given $5,000 per episode to entertain the public in the most outrageous ways possible. They succeeded and in season two they received $10,000. By season three the top stars, Snooki, Pauly D and The Situation, were paid $30,000. This doesn’t include Pauly D’s $80,000 a week as a DJ, Snooki’s $20,000 fee for public appearances, or The Situation’s new brand. We pay unconscionable behavior with deference and cash. We’ve made the most piteous of men into the most fabulous and famous members of society. We hold each other to higher standards than we hold our celebrities, yet we pay them greater interest and provide them with more glamor than we provide one another. We value entrepreneurs, yet we pay the classless. While we aspire to be heroes, we elevate the superficial to heroic levels. We should hold those who entertain us to the standard we hold each other, Instead of idolizing individuals such as Snooki, look toward the skilled and artful singers, actors and entertainers our society has to offer.

Photo Illustration: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Those who are comparing current Republican candidates to the great president Ronald Reagan and holding them to high expectations may end up feeling disappointed and let down in the long run. While there are some similarities with Reagan, there are also significant differences.

Readjust notions of Reagan Republican candidates may cause some disappointment

ith the caucuses finishing up in Iowa and the unforeseen results of the event, many people have talked about this as being the most important election in the history of the United States. While I do believe these people are right about the importance of the election, I believe their expectations of the Republican candidates are high–maybe a little too high. They are right that this is, in fact, an important election because there is a lot riding on the future of our country, but isn’t that how every election is? I read a bumper sticker that read, “You have to endure four years of Carter to get to Reagan.” Initially I laughed at the concept of it, but as I thought more about it, I started to realize that it wasn’t entirely correct. Are people really comparing perhaps the worst president in history to just a plainly mediocre president? And are we really going to get our hopes up so unrealistically high that the next Republican president is going to be even half as great as Ronald Reagan? Let’s first look at the views of President Obama. Although I personally believe that we cannot judge a president’s effectiveness on a country until years and years down the line, I do believe Obama to be perhaps the worst president I will see in my lifetime. To compare him to Carter seems a little forgiving. I also

By Emma.Rinehart @iowastatedaily.com believe that if he is re-elected our country will be unrecognizable as a free, capitalist country. Perhaps it was just the wrong timing for him. Regardless I think everyone can agree he was given a lose-lose situation: first, as being elected president, in general, of possibly the most influential country in the world, and second, running and being elected in a terrible recession. Let’s be honest here: no matter who took office, the economy would have to go through the cycle that all economies go through, but he certainly didn’t help any with making the cycle move along at all. And let’s not get started on Obama-care; that was doomed to ruin his presidency from its conception. To compare the front runners of the Republican campaign to Reagan, one of the best presidents to take office, is just cruel to everyone involved. No matter how much a person tries, to put that kind of expectation on a candidate is setting yourself up for disappointment. Will the next president be a great one? Who can say? Will the next person to take the oath of office do anything nearly as great as Reagan? Chances are he won’t even compare.

Reagan was a revolutionary president whose reforms led to a country of renewed prosperity and hope, and to expect that the next guy is going to do the same thing is a little zealous. So what should we hope for in our next president? We can only hope that they stay true to the promises the people voted him in to office for, but we all know that will lead to disappointment as well. Maybe we can just hope for someone to start at the long process of getting us out of this crazy debt. Maybe we can just hope that the next person will be able to lead a legacy for the next few presidencies to follow and start to relinquish debt and improve the lives of Americans with common sense fiscal solutions. That may seem a lot like Reagan, but the difference is Reagan had followthrough, clearly a quality we should look for as the selection process for the Republican candidate continues if we want any good to come from anyone. Putting Reagan-sized expectations on our candidates is only going to lead to a long line of disappointment. But to put reasonable expectations of common sense lawmaking, spending and governing will allow a president to obtain greatness and perhaps that is the only way to truly get to a Reagan-esque leadership and find prosperity and real hope again.

Tuition

Delivery fee an unfair charge Online class cost makes no sense, unfair to students

s classes begin this semester, many of you will have at least one online course. Who is to blame you? They’re convenient, particularly if you have a difficult schedule or are from out of town, and they can allow you to take two courses that normally would occupy the same time block. But have you checked your U-Bill lately? Buried in the thousands of dollars that you’re charged for tuition, fees and other expenses this university milks out of you is a “delivery fee” of $150. What the hell is that all about? Delivery fee? You’ve got to be kidding me. I know it’s just a drop in the bucket and may seem inconsequential in the long run, but it adds up. I mean, for me, that’s half of rent for a month. That’s all of the textbooks that I purchased for my Kindle this semester. It’s my grocery budget for a month. Maybe there is a logical, rational explanation as to why this university feels the need to squeeze us one last time for an extra bit of cash, but I can’t see it. Online classes, as those of us who have taken several know, can be set up well in advance on Blackboard. There is no special, expensive program which we use (and believe me, if there were, it would be a required purchase at

By Craig.Long @iowastatedaily.com the bookstore). After a professor sets up the course on Blackboard, they can set when they would like the “modules” that contain assignments and quizzes to open, so the course flows like a regular one. After that is done, all they have to do is sit back, and troubleshoot if a student has questions or problems on Blackboard. Of course, the professor can choose to map the course out on the fly, so it follows directly the classroom session, but that is a stylistic choice, nothing more. So what’s with the fee? All things considered, we should actually be charged less for taking courses online. I don’t know of anyone who has taken an online course and thought what they learned to be superior to what they would have learned in a class. I don’t think many professors consider looking at slide shows online to be comparable to sitting in one of their classes. It thins the pack of students that we all must deal with, combating the ever-increasing class sizes we have here. It’s so easy to set up, graduate and even undergraduate teaching assistants can oversee the delivery of the content during the semester, with little to

What the hell is that all about? Delivery fee? You’ve got to be kidding me. I know it’s just a drop in the bucket and may seem inconsequential in the long run, but it adds up.” no instruction given by the lead professor (other than providing them the original content to place online). By offering classes online, it enables the university to deliver required classes easier and cheaper to the record numbers of freshmen we’ve had the past few years. Can you imagine how disastrous it would be if everyone who took a course online instead took them in a classroom? I wonder how many more professors and graduate TAs would have to be employed, and rooms occupied (with lights and projectors on) to accommodate all of the students who would take the courses. That would raise costs to the university substantially. For classes that actually feature video recordings of lectures (and not all of them do), I know that the university has to purchase cameras for the rooms and probably some sort of program to record, convert and post the files online. That all costs money, of course. But, at least for the cameras, it is a one-time cost. It shouldn’t cost $150 for every stu-

dent in every class every year. This isn’t a for-profit university. And even if equipment expenses are the justification for the fee, why was I able to take an accounting class a couple years ago where the teacher recorded and posted the lectures online for free? If that class didn’t charge me an extra $150, why would any other? But when it comes down to us, it costs more. What difference does it really make? The credits count the same. If anything, it probably costs the university less than scheduling hundreds of other class sessions. And, isn’t the intent of some of these distance learning courses to provide an education to people who cannot physically attend classes on campus? For people living in rural areas, the education can be invaluable. But they have to pay for the credits, and then the delivery fee. That extra $150 could be an unbearable burden for people in rural areas. It feels slimy to me. Maybe there is some other justification that I haven’t thought of, but I think on principle every cost relating to taking credits should be included in tuition. It isn’t as though they’re purchasing chemicals for us to use for a lab or they run a different program for us than Blackboard. This fee simply seems to be a “convenience fee” under another name.

Caucus

Bettering the world requires participation Change the world by acting from inside, not wayside

oing any job well requires experience or, at the very least, familiarity with the rules by which the position operates both by itself and as it interacts with subordinates, superiors, and equals. If I came into work having forgotten how the Daily does the news, with no ability to talk to columnists, editors, graphic designers or photographers, this page would look awful — if there was anything on it at all. The same goes for politics and political office. But even though experience is essential, some of the Republican candidates for president this year have campaigned hard on their statuses (real or perceived) as a political outsider. Part of my caucus experience included listening to a Michele Bachmann supporter explain that his support for her was founded partly on the fact that, in speaking with her, she doesn’t seem like a politician. Another part was listening to a Rick Perry supporter make Perry’s case for removing politicians from Washington, D.C. While I believe that term limits are important, as I explained in a column published back in October, I also believe that any voters’ faith placed in the “outsider” of a political race is misplaced. Politicians need to be effective. They need to be effective at working together and at making sure other politicians understand their ideas. They need, as the Newt Gingrich supporter at my caucus stated, to know what they’re doing and go through the give and take, negotiation and bargaining process to get things done. Effectiveness is a requirement for being a good politician. To each system there are rules. That goes for political institutions and offices just as much as it goes for church, family, and school. And the sooner the members of a system embrace its rules, the sooner they can turn that system to their own uses — even if it was originally hostile. One of the hats I wore in 2009 was as a legislative assistant to a member of the Iowa House of Representatives. That April, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled in the case Varnum v. Brien that marriage licenses could not be denied on the basis that both parties were of the same sex. Basically, it made same-sex marriage legal in Iowa — not the law, mind you, but legal. The Republicans in the legislature immediately set to work trying to override that decision

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com by passing a constitutional amendment that contained the act the Supreme Court had declared unconstitutional. Essentially, the 1998 Defense of Marriage Act was supposed to become a part of Iowa’s Constitution. They were unsuccessful. Simply put, the Speaker of the House knew the rules better than any of the Republicans involved with the amendment. The representative I worked for, Christopher Rants, the most knowledgeable Republican and perhaps member of the House regarding the rules (and in my opinion, lots more) was not initially included in the effort. After a leadership struggle a few months before, he was removed from his position as minority leader even though he was a former majority leader and speaker of the house. Then the Republicans realized they needed him. Acknowledging the fact that debate and their own, more limited, familiarity with the rules would get them next to nowhere, his rivals buried their hatchets and turned to him for advice. And he rose to the occasion. Using the rules, he eventually forced a vote not on the amendment but at least on whether to open debate on the amendment. Iowans could now tell, in a fashion, where their legislators stood on the issue of same-sex marriage in Iowa. By incorporating a kind of jujitsu into our lives that accepts the system we have to deal with and turns that system in on itself, we can change it. It is far better to participate and interact than it is to exclude yourself or boycott the world and hope that it notices your absence. We can make the world a better place only if we act upon it, not outside it. And that applies to everything from these opinion pages to your wildest dreams.

Letters to the editor

Students should support free fares Many ISU students have families with children, either as single parents, married or in long-term committed relationships. The recent fare increase on CyRide will have a negative impact on these students’ families. While the ISU student in the family can ride free, often the other adult and all of the children are required to pay a fare, and now they have to pay more. The ISU students on the CyRide Transit Board had an opportunity during the fare increase hearings to step forward and support free rides proposed for K-12 students riding CyRide but did nothing. While K-12 free rides should not be completely supported by the Government of the Student Body transit fee, a portion of the $30,000 cost could have been offered in negotiation with city representatives on the Transit Board. If the GSB representatives had offered $5,000 to $10,000 and challenged the city to provide the remaining funds, the added financial stress on students with families might have been reduced. The city representatives took no initia-

tive to fund the program, and the students on the transit board could have been leaders in the discussion on funding the program. It was a great opportunity to provide social benefits at a minimal cost to the GSB CyRide fund, but the students chose to sit and do nothing. The GSB transit trust fund is worth more than $1,000,000, and the extra funds for free K-12 rides might deplete the fund sometime in the next century (sarcasm intended). My guess is that these students are either just showing what conservative spending looks like or that they were possibly just afraid to negotiate with the city representatives. It’s a great lesson for the future and a part of the GSB legacy this year. Sit on your money while fellow students with families who may be struggling financially will have to dig a little deeper to get their family around town. Actually, it is a pretty sad legacy.

Birds cause mess with consequences

Concern with crows requires swift action

the

BESTpizza

For the last two years, the increasing number of crows has caused a ruckus in Ames. I am from Rochester, Minn., where the problem resides as well. There has been an outreach from the people of Rochester to eradicate the crows from the downtown area. Currently there has been an investment of $25,000 to get the crows out of the downtown area, where the Mayo Clinic has a majority of their employees commuting. I am not a bird expert, but from my understanding, the crows have had a major change in their migration patterns due to the wind turbines being put up all across the Midwest. Their poop may also have an effect on human health. The sidewalk painted white might be nice, but not painted with s**t. If it were up to me, every hick from all across

Evan Johnson is a senior in construction engineering. Iowa could come out with a shotgun and shoot every crow in the state. However, that might not be the best solution for all the bird kissing PETA members out there. Since Iowa State University has slight knowledge of animal science, maybe someone could shed some light on the situation, instead of the birds shedding some poop onto our heads. In Rochester, attack falcons have been set out and trees have been marked with reflectors and nets to keep the birds away. Their solution has begun to work and has only used about half the budget. So please make it known that we can do something about this. We shouldn’t have to take the long way just because we don’t want to be hit with the white bird s**t.

Basketball:

Women fall to Jayhawks in double overtime By Caitlyn Diimig Daily staff writer After a tense double overtime, Iowa State lost to Kansas 7467 and fell 0-3 in conference play on Wednesday night in Lawrence, Kan. The first half started with the Cyclones no more than five points behind the Jayhawks up until four minutes left, when the Cyclones surged with a 9-0 run ending the half up 24-18 against Kansas. Coach Bill Fennelly said KU junior Carolyn Davis would be a tough post to go up against, but she was not much of a threat until the end of the second half. With less than two minutes to go in regulation, Davis managed to score six points and tie the score at 51-51 sending both teams into overtime. Junior Chelsea Poppens brought the Cyclones up 63-60, but with nine seconds left KU junior Angel Goodrich drained a 3-pointer bringing about a second overtime. Missed shots and fouls by the Cyclones allowed Kansas to rack up points. Poppens was able to keep the score close making two last free throws, but the Jayhawks held on and won 74-67. Iowa State and Kansas were even on shooting percentage except for 3-pointers in which Kansas’ 35 percent outshot Iowa State’s 30 percent. The Cyclones will play Texas A&M on Saturday in Hilton Coliseum.

NCAA:

Compliance cracks down after 2011 By Cliff Brunt The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS — Maryland senior associate athletic director Lori Ebihara says the long list of scandals in college sports last year has forced schools to review the standards in their compliance departments. Compliance is a particularly big deal after a year that included allegations of child sex abuse against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky and recently fired ex-Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine. “When you do have those cases, you do react,” Ebihara said. “It’s natural to react and find out what you’re doing at home in areas where other people get cited.” The NCAA held a panel discussion on compliance issues Wednesday at the NCAA convention. Ebihara, who has two decades of experience in compliance, said the role of those departments has never been greater. Ultimately, compliance departments and NCAA rules can only do so much. “You can’t legislate integrity, but you can hold people accountable,” Rupert said.

Paint SPORT: Basketball DEFINITION: The alley leading to the basket inside the free throw lane — typically the site of many rebounds. USE: Missouri outscored Iowa State in points in the paint, 40-20, as a key differencemaker to win.

By Jaremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Coach Fred Hoiberg and the ISU men’s basketball team saw it. An upset of No. 9 Missouri was right there for the taking. But 13-25 shooting from the free throw line and a 38-27 rebound deficit cost the Cyclones (12-4, 2-1 Big 12) in the 76-69 loss to Missouri (15-1, 2-1) on Wednesday. “They made every hustle play in that first half,” Hoiberg said. “They got to the floor first, they made multiple efforts, we made one effort. That’s not good enough when you play a top-10 team.” Iowa State saw a two-point lead at halftime devolve into a seven-point lead for Missouri midway through the second half, and ultimately the sevenpoint loss. Second-chance opportunities were plentiful for the Tigers, who tallied 12 points from 11 offensive rebounds. Both Hoiberg and his players used the word “effort” to describe the advantage Missouri had in the game Wednesday evening. “[It was] just an effort thing,” said forward Royce White. “Me, personally, I just didn’t give the right effort.” White’s disappointment partially stemmed from his own performance at the free throw line, where he went 2-8, with two of those shots failing to touch the rim. Though Hoiberg didn’t have anything to say about the team’s free throw shooting, other than “we’ll work on it,” White used one word to describe what he felt the issue was with him and the team from the line Wednesday night.

“Focus,” Royce White said. “For me, it’s been a frustrating year altogether trying to find the right rhythm and right stroke and right hand placement.

I think we know that we kind of killed ourselves from the line today.” White The Cyclones got a strong offensive performance from Scott Christopherson — whose half-court buzzer-beater gave Iowa State a 3836 halftime lead — who finished the game with 19 points on 4-6 shooting from 3-point range. Christopherson led the way for a 52.2 percent shooting night from 3-point range for the team, but the good shooting was not enough to combat Missouri. Hoiberg said the effort plays the Tigers made came down to them being tougher. “I thought it was fool’s gold when he threw that three-quarter-court shot in,” Hoiberg said of Christopherson. “We could’ve come out of the locker room and had some

Tigers tame White in 76-69 Missouri win Tale of the tape By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com With a top-10 opponent No. 9 Missouri in town, it was no surprise that Hilton Coliseum was filled to the brim Wednesday night. Haith Along with the top-notch Tigers team, the match up gave Cyclone fans their first chance to watch Royce White since the sophomore forward posted a triple-double — 10 points, 18 rebounds, 10 assists — in a 24-point road win at Texas A&M on Saturday. Missouri coach Frank Haith, who had compared White to Magic Johnson earlier in the week, deployed 6-foot-6 guard Kim English to defend White in the beginning of the game as a part of the Tigers’ pesky four-guard starting five.

“He’s a tremendous player, he’s a tough match up because of what he does for his teammates, he’s a willing passer,” Haith said about White after the game. “A guy that size, that good, he gets excited about the great assist, he puts pressure on you.” White picked up an early defensive foul just over a minute into the

Cash’s return to mat triumphant After concussion, sophomore finds win By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com The season started off roughly for redshirt sophomore Ben Cash, but after a recent tournament victory he is hopeful to soon return to dual action. After beginning the season as Iowa State’s starter at 133 pounds, Cash dropped his first two matches and suffered a concussion. Cash returned to the mat on Saturday at the William Penn Open, where he wrestled to four victories and a first-place finish at the tournament. The showing helped push Cash one step closer to rejoining the ISU wrestling team’s lineup. “He won the [William Penn Open] so obviously he’s back in the hunt for that spot,” said coach Kevin Jackson. “Definitely as we move forward into the year, he’s going to be a player at that weight class.” So far this season, the Cyclones have sent redshirt freshman R.J. Hallman and true freshman Shayden Terukina to the mat in addition to Cash at 133 pounds, and each have faced nationally ranked opponents. With five dual meets remaining in the season, the weight class is still up for

grabs. “We base our starters on who can perform in national competition and who can win against some of the best guys in the country and be consistent in doing so,” Jackson said. “R.J. and Shayden haven’t shown that to this point, so that puts Ben back into a good position because nobody has stepped up.” After his early season opportunity was put on hold with a concussion, Cash slowly worked his way back to the mat. With his four victories — all

by major decision — last weekend, he is excited to soon return to the lineup. “It was tough sitting out, especially happening that early in the season,” Cash said. “I felt I was in really good shape, but now I feel like I’m back and ready to wrestle, and I just can’t wait to compete.” Team captain Andrew Sorenson said Cash, along with many of the team’s young wrestlers, needs to build confidence on the mat. “He went out and wrestled [well at the] Big 12 tournament last year,”

Sorenson said. “He just needs to get a little more confident and know he can compete with some of the best guys.” On Friday, if at full strength, Jackson hopes Cash will return to the mat at Hilton Coliseum when the Cyclones take on No. 15 Virginia Tech. If he is ready to go, Cash will face No. 1 Devin Carter. “We’re just looking for one of those guys to step up and wrestle to their full ability,” Jackson said. “It would be exciting to throw [Cash] out there and see if he’s ready to handle that level of wrestler.” Cash is hopeful to return to the lineup on Friday and with just two matches in dual action this season — both on the road — he cannot wait to show the home crowd improvements he has made from last season. “It’s always exciting [to get on the mat],” Cash said. “I wrestled in a lot of home duals last year, and I feel like I’ve made a lot of strides since last year.” And if Cash does get the call, Carter’s ranking will not affect his approach. “Our coaches tell us to prepare the same for every match whether it’s a kid you’ve never heard of or the No. 1 kid in the nation,” Cash said. “Just go out there and compete the same way and leave it all on the mat.”

Teamwork prepares Cyclones for Iowa State Open Runners strive for consistency in early season By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com As fall semester at Iowa State drew to a close, students began traveling in large numbers to their hometowns, including members of the ISU men’s track and field team. Winter break began a three-week period where the team focused mainly on individual workouts with not much contact from the coaches laying out workouts. Sprints and hurdles coach Nate Wiens said the runners were sent home with voluntary workouts but feels that the studentathletes treated them as if they were mandatory. “I would be surprised if not every athlete did them,” Wiens said of the winter break workouts. “We just have such a focused group this year that everyone is really taking care of their business.” Wiens also said the individual workouts during break provide the runners an opportunity to take ownership of the work that they are putting in, which he notices makes

them a lot stronger when they return. Junior distance runner Charlie Paul continued to do workouts over break, laying out his own individual plan breaking down day-by-day what each workout would be for him. He said training during break has made him very focused on the upcoming Iowa State Open. Last season, Paul ran the 3,000-meter race with a personal record of 8:30, which he said he hopes to improve this season. He also said that the Iowa State Open will be a nice way to begin the track and field season. “[The Iowa State Open] is just the start to the track season where the whole team is in action and everyone is more focused on the season at that point,” Paul said. “The competition also starts to get better in the upcoming meets.” Jumps and multi-events coach Pete Herber said his kids have been preparing for the Iowa State Open to gain experience and the workout for his group was fairly simple over winter break. “When everyone is gone here, the main focus is to still keep fitness level up, keep strength levels up and then we will come back and start hit-

year so what you’re looking for in a meet like that is consistency,” Wiens said. “The training loads are still really high and we want to have good efforts. We want to run well [at the Iowa State Open] but we know

momentum and corrected things, [but] they made the effort plays all night.” In addition to their second-chance points, the Tigers finished ahead of the Cyclones in both points in the paint — Missouri won that battle 40-20 — and points off 13 ISU turnovers, where the Missouri Tigers ended with a 16-11 advantage. Going forward, Hoiberg and his squad know that shooting alone will not win games in conference play. “When you play against a team like that, you can’t afford to get out-rebounded by 12 in the

first half,” Christopherson said. “You can’t afford to let them shoot 59 percent in the second half. When it came down to money time, they executed and we didn’t, and that was the difference in the game.” For Hoiberg, the loss was especially disappointing, considering the buzz surrounding the Cyclones’ 2-0 start to conference play. Iowa State had its chances, and both Hoiberg and his players acknowledged as much after the game. “It’s disappointing because I felt we should’ve won the game,” Coach Hoiberg said. “That’s the hard thing, because I felt we threw this one away.”

White asserted himself in the paint in the second half scoring 10 points and grabbing five rebounds, but it was his and the team’s struggles at the free throw line that helped Missouri pull away for the 7669 victory. White had his worst performance at the free-throw line in the season making only two of eight from the charity stripe and air balling a pair. “It’s tough for me with the hands I’ve got, but I’ve just got to work through that and get back in the gym and try to figure it out,” White said. As a team the Cyclones made four of 11 free throws in the second half and finished the night 13 of 25, their worst performance at the line on the season. “It was frustrating,” White said. “We hung in there, we actually stayed ahead up until the halfway mark [of the second half] in a spot where I was in foul trouble, but that’s not why we lost. It was just an effort thing.” White finished the night with more points–a total of 16–than he had in either of Iowa State’s first two conference wins, but the Tigers felt like they succeeded in shutting down the Cyclones’ leading scorer. “He’s a good player, I’m not going to lie, but he puts his shoes and puts his shorts on just like we do,” said guard Matt Pressey. “He brought it tonight, and we did our best to stop him.”

Poison Control Center’s “lost” album is more than just a representation of the band’s past; it is part of the foundation for Ames’ newest record label. Maximum Ames Records will only ever produce 150 vinyl copies of PCC’s “A Nice Old-Fashioned Romance With Love Lyrics & Everything,” and more than half of the records sold before its official release on Tuesday. “A big part of our record label is instilling pride in the community and the culture we have here with some focus on history,” said Maximum Ames CEO Chris Ford. “PCC was an obvious choice for one of our first records.” The album was originally recorded between 1999 and 2001, before lead singer Patrick Fleming deleted the working files, and it became a sort of legend among PCC fans. “We started the album before we were even a band,” Fleming said. “It was our attempt at making a rock opera.”

CD Locations PCC’s show w/ Asklandaganza 5, Wolves In the Attic and more at the Vaudeville Mews Ames Vinyl Cafe ZZZ Records, Des Moines MaximumAmesRecords.com Note: Copies are limited; any listed source may run out of stock.

Though the album was mostly completed before deletion, Maximum Ames spent months gathering burned CD mixes of the songs. In the end, 28 separate tracks were retrieved. “There were other, smaller recordings we never did find,” Ford explained. “But we have everything intended for the original album.” Maximum Ames met with PCC several times to sequence the tracks, formatting it into a real album instead of a sparse collection of recordings. When track order and presentation style were decided, the “lost” album was sent to Kentucky for

reproduction. “Some tracks have flutes and cellos and oboes while the next song might just be a rock band banging it out,” said bassist Joe Terry. “Each song is like its own little experiment.” PCC was a much different “band” at the time of the recording, more like a group of friends with instruments and free time. Many artists on the record play in only one or two of the songs. Terry recalled recording with a dozen or more individuals. Guitarist Devin Frank was not yet involved in PCC, but he said the songs have retained “a significant charm” unique to Patrick’s work. “What makes it a PCC album is that it’s so catchy,” said Maximum Ames President Nate Logsdon. “The melodies are good and the songwriting is really spot on and funny and touching. … It comes from having something to say.” To match the album’s significance, Maximum Ames Records and PCC put time into making the purchase a work of art, as well as a piece of the band’s history. Each album cover has been individually letter pressed and numbered by a Des Moines artist.

Ford said opening the album is like discovering an “envelope of band stuff that Pat lost.” With the record, buyers get realistic reproductions of vintage photos, a lyric sheet in Fleming’s handwriting, and a touching letter from Terry to Fleming written near the beginning of their musical partnership. Maximum Ames has also included commentary from guest performers and current band members on each track. “The whole thing is the community of it,” Terry said. “Ames has always had a strong community of people and artists working hard to make the drive.” Ford hopes that Maximum Ames can drive the community the same way PCC and its label Bi-Fi Records did a decade ago. “Bi-Fi put a fire in the Ames community over 10 years ago, and it’s led to everything that we have today,” Ford said. Some copies are still available from Maximum Ames’ website for $20, though Logsdon anticipates this piece of Ames history will soon be sold out.

Diverse acts booked for semester By Cole Komma Ames247 writer The Maintenance Shop begins hosting concerts this weekend and will continue to provide students with entertaining, diverse musical acts. “We definitely think about making our lineup as broadly appealing as possible and always try to reach out to new potential crowds,” said Connor Nolan, M-Shop director of the Student Union Board, regarding the

M-Shop’s booking strategy. “A lot of students have probably never been to the M-Shop, but we think if we can get them in for just one show, they’ll keep coming back for more.” First to perform at the M-Shop this semester will be pop singer-songwriter Gabe Dixon, co-headlining with Lelia Broussard. Dixon’s pop sound impressed SUB, and Nolan believes it is a good way to kick off the semester lineup.

Bryan Scheckel, member of SUB and the M-Shop coordinator, explained the purpose of the M-Shop’s opening weekend. “It’s kind of like a welcome back thing,” Scheckel said. “People have less stuff to do and are looking for something to do because classes aren’t in full swing yet. So we give the students the opportunity to see some shows.” This coming Saturday, indie band The Envy Corp returns due to high popularity

with the student body. “They last played the M-Shop in fall [of] 2010 ... and they’re always popular, being that they got their start in Ames and have blossomed in Iowa and beyond,” Nolan said. Skypiper, another indie band, will be returning to the M-Shop stage along with The Envy Corp. To round off the opening weekend at the M-Shop, SUB has brought in Dia Frampton, runner-up in NBC’s hit TV show “The

Voice.” Nolan said this show is a “big deal” for the M-Shop, because they rarely get names as recognizable as Frampton’s. Scheckel believes this is one of the main reasons behind why students are drawn to the big name shows. “It’s name recognition and credentials,” Scheckel said. “I mean, if you can sing in front of Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera, you’re more than qualified.”

Auditions approaching By Alex Smith Ames247 writer The season of love is here, and auditions for this year’s Stars Over Veishea musical, “Rent,” are fast approaching. “Rent” is a musical about a group of friends living in New York, struggling to make a living. Within the story there is love, heart break, fun times and lots of music. The friends keep each other together while they take on the challenges of being young artists, as well as dealing with AIDS. Director Brad Dell, assistant professor in performing arts, said the musical was picked for its inspiring story and diversity. “It’s about a group of people letting friendship and love guide them through rocky times,” Dell said. “It’s a story about human connection.” The sign up sheet for audi-

tion time slots can be found at Pearson 2130. Auditions will then be held Tuesday and Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Music Hall lobby. “I think we will have a lot of people coming out,” Dell said. “I’ve never been disappointed before in the actors we received in auditions.” Dell also said anyone is welcome and invited to try out. Anyone auditioning will need to have a one or two min-

ute memorized song clip either from “Rent” or from another contemporary musical. Dell advised students to “be as prepared as possible with the song you pick, and feel comfortable doing it.” Dancing auditions will be had in callback auditions, which will be held on Jan. 26. More information can be found on the Iowa State Theatre website. Contact Brad Dell with any questions.
