Community food drive celebrates MLK holiday

By Katelynn McCollough Daily staff writer A Martin Luther King Jr. birthday celebration is scheduled to take place at 6 p.m. Monday at the Ames Middle School.

The event is free to anyone to attend. Cake will be served before a program consisting of skits, music and speeches to honor King.

Nonperishable and canned good items can be brought to the event as part of a food drive being held that day. All items donated will go to MidIowa Community Action, a community action agency, and its food pantry.

The Young Women’s Christian Association has described the event on their website as an opportunity to “celebrate how through service we can all work toward a common goal of community cooperation and leadership development.”

The event is scheduled to last an hour and a half.

Iowa State will host its Martin Luther King Jr Holiday Celebration at 4 p.m. Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

The event will feature opening remarks from President Steven Leath, musical performances from Bridges to Harmony Choir and Shy of a Dozen and numerous speakers.

The Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Advancing One Community Awards will be presented at the event.

It took a breakup from her boyfriend of 12 months for Cassidy to realize the toll a certain friendship was taking on her life.

Cassidy first made contact with her male stalker, this “friend,” on a social networking site designed to bring together artists with similar interests. Both individuals, ISU students within the same college and major, met soon after and formed a friendship.

After going through a bad breakup, Cassidy sought counseling. It was here that she began to reevaluate the other relationships in her life. It became clear to Cassidy what she thought was just a casual friendship actually meant more to her male friend. Soon, she began to notice warning signs that things were going too far.

“No one ever really believed me that this was going on, because he had this other side to him,” Cassidy said.

This behavior continued for two more years with a climax after she separated from her boyfriend in fall 2010. Her stalker jumped at the opportunity to be with Cassidy and began showing up unannounced. There were disturbing letters posted on her door, shrine-type artwork and confessions that led the relationship beyond just friends. Cassidy described the behavior as “over-the-line.”

Other students who knew the two dismissed

these early signs as personal expression.

“One of the weirdest was an email where he told me he was dreaming about watching me sleep,” Cassidy said, “and the bizarre text messages where he said he would hurt himself if he didn’t see me.”

January is National Stalking Awareness Month, and according to the Stalking Fact Sheet released by the Stalking Resource Center and the National Center for Victims of Crime, since 2004 communities across the nation have been raising awareness about a crime that affects 3.4 million adults in the United States a year.

Assisted by these organizations, citizens are becoming equipped to “know, name and stop” stalking.

As defined by the Stalking Resource Center, stalking is “a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to feel fear.”

Capt. Carrie Jacobs of the ISU Police Department said she handles one to two stalking cases a year, but believes the actual number of potential cases is much greater.

“I think stalking is occurring a lot more,” said Jacobs, who is a member of the Threat Assessment and Management division. “It is simply not being reported.”

Identifying a stalker is not always easy. There is no specific profile that law enforcement officials use to identify these individuals.

Jacobs said the only way to identify an individual as a stalker is to pay close attention to their behavioral traits. Some warning signs include an aggressive and possessive nature and extreme changes in behavior, including increased conflicts, desperation, paranoia, needing constant contact, monitoring phone calls and substance abuse.

A person needs to possess three or four of these traits to be identified as a stalker, as was the case with Cassidy’s stalker.

It was only after her rough breakup and seeking guidance from the university’s counseling services that Cassidy began to identify these negative and harmful qualities. Her friend was dealing with anxiety, depression and lack of self-worth. Cassidy found herself feeling responsible for his actions.

“He had a lot of mental issues too that we had talked about,” Cassidy said. Her counselor helped her realize her “follower” was bringing her down and making it even harder to recover from her own mental breakdown.

“I started thinking about me more because

Women receive honors College for impact on Iowa State releases The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics unveiled its 2012 “Women Impacting ISU” calendar Thursday to celebrate 12 women who have gone above and beyond in serving the ISU community.

This year, the honorees were Sharon Bird, Joy Ensley, Molly Heintz, Aja Holmes, Kathleen Jones, Ahna Kruzic, Susan Lammers, Alejandra Navarro, Kayla Nielsen, Shelley Taylor, Ann Thompson and Jingtao Wang.

The women are a combination of students, faculty and staff at Iowa State.

Julie Snyder-Yuly, assistant director of the Catt Center, said the calendar was created in 2007 after students got the idea from the University of Kansas.

Its main purpose is to celebrate women on campus who do work behind the scenes, but deserve to be publicly recognized and

Students can now download to their phones an app that is the product of the ISU College of Engineering.

This app was thought up by a group of students in a senior-level computer engineering class and created by a freshman in his dorm room.

The official College of Engineering app debuted on Jan. 4. There were nearly 800 downloads in the first week.

“This project was a grass-roots and student-led effort,” said Jonathan Wickert, dean of the College of Engineering. “I’m very proud of the collaboration between Tyler Bell, the senior design project team, and Travis Ballstadt in Engineering College Relations. They worked very closely with ISU’s information technology office and many others to get the details right.”

Bell, a senior in computer science, created the “Be > You Imagined” app last year. The app provides 14 services at the fingertips of ISU students.

appreciated.

“This is a good way to let people know some of the cool things that people are doing at all levels,” Snyder-Yuly said.

The Catt Center was flooded with more than 40 nominations for women

to receive this award. The problem is that there are only 12 months in a year, so only 12 women can be featured in the calendar.

“It was a process,” said Laura Wentworth, senior in journalism and mass communication.

>>STALKING.p1 after the whole relationship I kept thinking, ‘What is best for him?’” Cassidy said. “I don’t want him to hurt himself. I wasn’t thinking about, ‘Oh ... he’s peeking in my windows.’”

One night, it all exploded and Cassidy decided this was enough.

“We were texting and I just realized, ‘Hey, this is done,’ and he ended up coming over,” she said. “It was scary that time; I was afraid.

I wouldn’t let him into my apartment because I was like, ‘This is too much for the both of us, our friendship needs to end,’ and it was really hard ... there was no contact after that.”

All it took was the help of a stranger for her to realize the pain being caused in her life could end. One night, Cassidy found herself saying, “I can’t do this anymore. I am not good for you, even though I am trying to protect you, and you are definitely not good for me.”

Jacobs said her first step when a stalking victim contacts her is to run them through their options.

“My position at that point is to advocate for them and to let them know what I feel would be the best course of action,” Jacobs said. “The de-

cision at the end of the day is still their’s.”

Jacobs said the only case where a police officer would take action into their own hands would be if they felt the victim was in imminent danger.

“Our ultimate goal is not to necessarily arrest the stalker or the offender, but to make sure that victim is as safe as possible,” Jacobs said.

“Story County is absolutely tenacious in prosecuting stalking here in Iowa ... A lot of counties kind of shy away from actually charging the stalker. They prefer to add on another harassment charge.”

For many victims of stalking, contacting the police may seem like a radical step. Iowa State and Story County have multiple other resources for individuals seeking help.

One on campus resource for victims of stalking is the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center. Individuals can seek out a quiet place to study or find someone to talk with.

For National Stalking Awareness Month, the Sloss House is putting together the second annual Stalking Awareness Panel titled, “Don’t Follow Me this isn’t Twitter #StalkingAwarenessPanel.”

During the panel, scheduled for 5:30 to 7 p.m. Jan. 26 in the Sun Room of the

Memorial Union, panelists from the Department of Public Safety, Judicial Affairs and Student Assistance will discuss how stalking is defined, the policies Iowa State has in place and approaches to handling stalking.

“Hopefully, students who come to the panel will learn that they are not alone, that they have resources, and what stalking is,” said Chris Fowler, interim director of the Women’s Center.

Cassidy said the biggest thing she learned from her own experience was how important it is to share struggles and emotions with others.

“Don’t keep it to yourself,” she said. “Don’t be embarrassed if you are caring about someone that has problems.”

Resources Resources available to both victims and those dealing with stalker tendencies include ACCESS, the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center, Story County Coalition Against Domestic Violence, ISU Counseling Resource Center, the Dean of Student’s office, and the Richmond Center. Not only does Story County offer a wide range of resources, but according to Officer Carrie Jacobs, the county also goes above and beyond when it comes to prosecuting stalkers.

“We wanted it to be the College of Engineering brand, but we wanted it to be something that every ISU student could use,” Bell said.

Bell was given the project from his employer at the College of Engineering College Relations Department. Bell worked on the project from his freshman dorm room in Eaton Hall and let his friends test it out.

He reshaped the app several times before selecting the current design for release.

The app offers features that include a map with every building on campus, laundry machine availability for the dorms, a lab feature, news, events, videos, CyRide schedules, an ISU directory and more.

Editorial

Teachers not at fault for lazy students

As university students, education is a big part of our lives. Believe it or not, it ought to be the biggest part. To that end, good teachers need to be retained by the university.

Too often, when a non-tenured professor’s contract is up for renewal or colleges and the university are making decisions about whether to grant tenure, they examine pass/fail rates and grade distributions more closely than they take into account the professor’s seriousness about his or her discipline as well as teaching it.

It is a travesty of bureaucracy whenever a good teacher is dismissed because he or she retains high expectations for students. There is a certain amount of coursework and study necessary for academic success at a university level; we may be able to coast through high school, but if we are to receive and experience a competitive education at the college level, it cannot be easy.

Passing tests and earning 3.0 GPAs is insufficient. They are a good start, certainly, and Gov. Terry’ Branstad’s proposal requiring prospective teachers to earn a 3.0 GPA is a step in the right direction — competence at course material is an essential part of success at teaching.

But hard and fast rules can be dangerous. We can begin to assume they lead to excellence. All they do, however, is ensure a minimum standard.

Other factors have to go into evaluations. At a university level, deciding whether to renew a contract or grant tenure based on pass/fail rates should only be a small part of the story.

In some cases, professors routinely fail relatively large numbers of students because, for all their competency at teaching and offers of their time to students, students fail to realize that anything worth doing requires work. Despite investing tens of thousands of dollars to our education, we go through our four (or five, or six) years here putting forth minimal effort.

Routinely, professors tell us truthfully that the best students in their classes are the ones who spend about three hours of their time outside class preparing or studying for each hour of class. In a three-credit course, that means 12 hours of study. A course load of 15 credits, then, would mean dedicating at least 60 hours each week to class and study.

College is supposed to be difficult.

Keeping faculty members who hold their students to rigorous standards should be one of the top priorities of any university. If Iowa State wants to be a leader in education, it must hold on to demanding professors who have a genuine interest in instilling in their students the best education.

Quality education requires an appropriate attitude held by both teachers and students. Teachers shouldn’t suffer simply because students are lazy.

Pinterest

Graphic courtesy of Pinterest Pinterest, a social sharing website, calls itself a “virtual pinboard.” Users can create collections of photos called “pinboards,” look for ideas for projects, shop for gifts and share photos and links with other users while viewing other people’s pins and comments.

Website limits connections Groups like 4-H foster human interactions

A

new Internet phenomenon has taken over open laptops in classrooms everywhere. It is called Pinterest and describes itself as an “online pinboard.” Users are encouraged to “pin” items from external websites onto their own personal, categorized “boards.”

I was very hesitant at first. I’ve resisted joining Twitter in hopes that I wouldn’t waste even more time online. However, last semester I needed to find inspirational images for a class, so I decided to check Pinterest out.

My younger cousins and pretty much every other girl I met raved about the site, so I decided to request my invitation and got to pinning.

Pinterest certainly served its purpose for that project. It was easy to find more artistic images than what would be readily available with a Google search, and it made my homework pretty simple. In the course of it, I found recipes, homemade Christmas gift ideas and a great experiment with fire that I tried with my brother and dad when I went home for break (it was unsuccessful and resulted in me almost being set on fire, but it was fun nonetheless).

I would spend a few minutes here and there looking through the plethora of ideas on this

By Jessica.Bruning @iowastatedaily.com online forum. As I continued looking, though, it occurred to me that this was simply an online version of 4-H. For those of you unfamiliar with 4-H, it is a youth program started by Iowa State Extension in 1902. Towns across Iowa — and America — have clubs with members ranging from fourth to 12th grade that meet on a monthly basis. It stresses volunteering, leadership and communication skills, as well as encourages members to explore their own personal interests in areas such as photography, fashion, agriculture, livestock, recycling and more through researching and developing their subject, then presenting it at the fair.

I was a nine-year member of the Mapleton Starspinners 4-H Club, pledging my head to greater thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service and my health to better living for one Saturday of every month and exhibiting my projects at the annual county fair. I sewed clothes, made jewelry and entered photos and projects to be judged at the fair.

Instead of just linking random websites to my page, I made them and shared the final project with my peers.

Some aspects of Pinterest are great.

Fashionistas compile their styles, photographers swap techniques and ideas and foodies trade ideas. But I fear that this is just one more example of trading human interaction for staring at a computer screen.

Instead of strutting down a runway in front of judges in the Clothing Selection or Fashion Review competition, we post digital photos of outfits online. Instead of giving a presentation on how to make a cake, we post the step-bystep instructions online. Instead of exhibiting and having photos judged, we post them online.

It strips art of its element of communication. We are denied the opportunity to discuss and defend our work. While the potential for sheer quantity of people and ideas we can reach is much higher than a small-town 4-H Club, we are still robbed of the simple pleasure and necessity of human interaction.

Create and share, whether it be online or face to face. Art is meant to be seen. But consider an emphasis on your own local world rather than the faceless masses online.

Voting

Focus on issues, not party identity O

n my 18th birthday, my father took me to the Department of Motor Vehicles to renew my driver’s license. Amongst the privileges granted to me on the day I became a legal adult was one promised to me in the 15th Amendment to the Constitution: the right to vote.

When registering to vote, people more often than not will glance over the rarely-heard-of third parties, such as the Constitution, Green and Libertarian parties, and make a check mark in front of either the Republican or Democratic Party. The choice is usually an easy one based on a person’s upbringing, whether they chose to join their parents’ party or rebel against it. Regardless, it seems as though once the box is checked and the form is signed, a person’s voting future is sealed, and they will vote for their decided party in every election they ever chose to participate in. There is no need to really examine a politician’s stances because you must automatically fly on the right or left wing on all issues at hand.

This could be ideal, making candidate selection very easy, but I believe it’s safe to say not everybody sees every issue as equal. I, for example, prioritize energy, environmental issues, education and the war in Iraq. But someone else may not see conservation as an important issue but be very devoted to whether or not abortion is legal or illegal. It’s likely that I and the person in my hypothetical example will not find all of our ideals in one party. Some of our issues may lean right and some may lean left. In this case, which party should we side with? The answer is neither.

Unwavering devotion to either political party has caused conflict in our country since Whig was considered a major party. We celebrate when our party dominates the House and get bitter when they do not. We insult the opposing party and blame all our nation’s problems on its actions. The opposite party

By Meg.Grissom @iowastatedaily.com is always ignorant, stupid and incompetent.

Because of all this hype, elections have become more about what political party we are affiliated with rather than what is really important: The changes we want to see happen with a new man or woman in office.

Ghandi said to “be the change you wish to see in the world.” Following his advice, we may not be able to single-handedly end the war in

Iraq or legalize gay marriage, but we can choose a leader who wants the same change we do.

Instead of absentmindedly voting for a person who belongs to a particular party, we should examine our own beliefs and ask ourselves what we want to see happen, then pick the candidate who will use his or her power to see this change through, regardless of his or her political party. Above the battles between the Democrats and Republicans is the common goal to make a better America, so we as its citizens should use the issues in need of address, not political affiliation, when exercising our right to vote.

Act on your own to be great

‘Ultrabook’ makes its debut

he American people as a whole have always been a resilient, audacious people. Americans should remember that. There is no reason to believe that our best days are behind us.

If America as one unit wants glory, greatness, power, and credit, it can have them. If Americans as individuals want those same things, they too can have them.

The only problem is that we are all so passive, so recipient-minded, that we have forgotten, in order to have anything, we have to go out and get it. We have to do it ourselves.

That goes for the capitalists who shout at the Occupy protesters to go get a job just as much as it goes for the Occupy protesters asking others to give away what the system has allowed them to gain.

You want peace? Be peaceful. Don’t look for international agreements — pieces of paper — to bring it.

You want freedom?

Participate in government and experience the sense of belonging that is freedom. Don’t look to the Bill of Rights or the Spirit of ’76 as the source of limitations on government.

You have your freedoms and liberties only when you exercise them.

We don’t need politicians or any other kind of figure to “bring America back to being the top country in the world,” as the Rick Perry speaker at my caucus said. To be the top country in the world, we need to be the top country in the world. We need to participate in it and cooperate with it instead of searching ourselves in an existential crisis trying to find a savior. That kind of attitude, especially among voters my age, gave us President Obama.

his whole tablet/iPad craze is over. Yeah, I said it. The limited functionality of a tablet, the lack of a keyboard, the awkward way you hold it and the closed-garden selection of apps that were developed for a cellphone-sized screen rather than your device (I’m looking at you Apple) have sealed its fate. Now the new “ultrabooks” are making their debut.

Ultrabooks are smaller and lighter than the competition, they are able to perform similarly to full-sized laptops using low-voltage processors and solid-state drives.

Simply put, these are computers that want to compete with the MacBook Air. Their appeal? They’re fully functional laptops that weigh close to nothing, have amazing LED and sometimes OLED displays, have all the power you need (with some models featuring Intel’s Core i7 badged processors) and although they’re low voltage, they still pack a punch.

Sony, for example, has built into its ultrabook, the

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com Between August and now, I have read two books, Leo Tolstoy’s “Anna Karenina” and Margaret Mitchell’s “Gone with the Wind.” Both novels contain characters who highlight the problem I see.

Tolstoy’s story focuses on the title character, Anna Karenina. Over the course of 1,000 pages, he paints the portrait of a woman who, for all her passionate feeling, has no passion for living. She waits for things to happen to her instead of communicating with her husband or her lover, telling them what she feels discontented about. She resigns to what she thinks is her inevitable fate and (spoiler alert) throws herself under a train at the end of a novel.

Mitchell’s story is the story of Scarlett O’Hara.

Her passionate feeling, unlike Karenina’s, however, is matched by an at least equal passion for living. She allowed nothing to get in the way of her efforts to save herself and her family from Yankee armies, carpetbaggers and starvation.

The man she loves, however, is the same kind of passive and resigned character as Karenina. Ashley Wilkes is content to look back at the antebellum days and reminisce about his easy way of life as a plantation owner’s son instead of adjusting to the new, competitive world in which he lives and, like Scarlett, regain his old wealth and ease.

The most important lesson I’ve ever learned is that any experience is what you

make of it. Religion consoles you only as much as you take advantage of it; this university educates you only as much as you take advantage of it; your relationships are rewarding only to the extent to which you take advantage of them.

As long as Americans want to live in a world of their own making, they will do so. They will not allow regulations, whether they be socialistic or secularist, to hamper their decisions. Not, that is, as long as they actually want what they say they want.

It’s one thing to want to do business or practice religion or a way of life in a favorable climate, when it is easy. It is another thing to want it when it may be dangerous or difficult, when there are hurdles in the way. If we don’t get what we want, it is our own fault.

We don’t need some “leader” to make us great.

We can do it ourselves.

The reason behind this push for ultrabooks is Intel’s doing, as they have not only pushed manufacturers into creating ultrabooks, but they are launching their own advertising campaign to push these new laptops, which all contain Intel-branded chips to the consumer. It’s a stab at ARM, a competitor making processors for most tablets and some phones, who have been eating Intel’s market share lately. It’s a “we knew you’d be back” type of statement Intel seems to be saying, and it looks like it’s working.

who followed shortly after with its X300, produced some of the first ultra-thin laptops, but they never seemed to quite catch on as their pricing to performance ratio was not what consumers wanted. But now that prices have come down — and processing power has increased — the popularity for such devices has skyrocketed, with Apple projected to sell about 1.6 million of its machine.

These sales have caught the attention of the other PC manufacturers. Samsung, as an example, will be launching its ultrabooks starting at $899, with HP, Dell and others soon to follow with their own models. Although tablets are still hot on the heels of notebook computing, this could be a surge making laptops “hip and popular” statement purchases once again.

Lawyer: Iowa should’ve acted sooner

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press IOWA CITY — University of Iowa officials should have acted sooner after learning star running back Marcus Coker was under investigation for sexual assault to either clear him if he was innocent or discipline him if there was evidence, an attorney familiar with the school’s checkered handling of such cases said Thursday.

Attorney Roxanne Conlin, of Des Moines, said school officials must explain what actions they took after they learned a woman named Coker in an assault complaint Oct. 28, given missteps in the past decade involving other assault allegations against Iowa athletes.

“Innocent until proven guilty is still the law of the land, but you need to conduct an immediate investigation and the university needs to determine whether or not he did in fact rape somebody. And if he did, he shouldn’t be playing football,” Conlin said.

The Iowa City Police Department formally closed its investigation into the case last week without filing charges.

Authorities say they decided not to charge Coker in late November or early December after it became clear the woman did not want to pursue the matter. At that point, they shared their investigative findings with university officials who were conducting their own disciplinary investigation.

Iowa City Police Lt. Doug Hart said the university was told about the Coker investigation the day before Iowa played Minnesota on Oct. 29. Coker played the final five games of the regular season, but was suspended for unspecified misconduct Dec. 20. The university announced Tuesday he’d asked for a release from his scholarship.

NFL:

Jets owner defends Sanchez NEW YORK (AP) — Jets owner Woody Johnson defends embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez’s work ethic and says he thinks “everybody’s a little frustrated” after the team failed to make the playoffs.

Johnson, appearing on MSNBC on Thursday to discuss his support of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, said a Daily News report in which an anonymous player said Sanchez was “lazy” is off base. “He’s the first guy in the building every morning,” he said, “and the last guy to leave.”

It’s the first time Johnson has commented publicly since Rex Ryan’s team finished 8-8 and out of the postseason for the first time in three years.

“There is frustration,” Johnson said, “and that’s what you want.” He adds that the Jets have “a lot of work to do” to turn things around next season.

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s basketball team got off to a fast start in conference play, but the train made a brief stop Wednesday night with a 76-69 loss to No. 9 Missouri at Hilton Coliseum.

Things won’t get much easier Saturday as the Cyclones (12-4, 2-1 Big 12) head to Lawrence, Kansas to face No. 10 Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. Inside the “Phog,” the team will face a potential Player of the Year candidate in Thomas Robinson. “[Robinson is] such a complete player,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg.

“He’s really turned into one of the premiere players in the country this year, and you knew that would happen with his role increasing.

Hoiberg “He’s doing everything right now.”

Iowa State is no stranger to facing elite players when playing Kansas (13-3, 3-0). For the previous three years, the Cyclones saw Marcus and Markieff Morris — both now in the NBA — who saw marked success against Iowa State both at Hilton and Allen Fieldhouse.

One Cyclone knows Robinson better than anyone else on the team.

Forward Melvin Ejim was a one-time roommate of Robinson’s and remains close friends with the Kansas forward, saying they “text all the time, talk all the time.”

Ejim said he expects to guard Robinson a bit — though not exclusively — and definitely knows how explosive he is.

“He’s always going hard, no matter what it is,” Ejim said of Robinson.

“He’s real athletic, but the real thing is that he has a motor and he’s always trying to outwork you and just outbeast you.

“That’s a lot of what his game is — just going super hard.”

Hoiberg said defending those types of players isn’t easy, and that his team will have to step up down low if the Cyclones are going to stop Robinson.

“It’s going to be a big test for our bigs,” Hoiberg said. “Obviously, the way we handled it [against Missouri], I’m sure they’re going to go right at us.

“You have to do your work early on [Robinson]. You have to try to get him off his sweet spot. [We’ll have to] bang him around and try to get fresh bodies

Cyclones hope for improvement

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com Following a loss to Missouri on Sunday, the ISU wrestling team finds itself two-thirds of the way through the season with just one victory on its record.

Despite some of the difficulties the young team has fought Goettl this season, ISU coach Kevin Jackson said the team is focused on its upcoming meet and getting better.

“They recognize that we have another match on Friday,” Jackson said of the team’s current state. “They recognize that they get a chance to go back Jackson out there and improve on their mistakes.”

The No. 19 Cyclones (1-9, 0-4 Big 12) face No. 15 Virginia Tech (3-2, 1-1 ACC) on Friday at Hilton Coliseum, a team they narrowly beat last season 17-16 on the road.

Women’s basketball

Women aim for conference win

By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com

Less than a week into the Big 12 season, the ISU women’s basketball team will host its second top 10 team.

Keeping a low turnover count could help the Cyclones (9-5, 0-3) to their first conference win of the season against the Aggies.

“You can’t score if you don’t have the ball, so those turnovers really killed us,” said guard Brynn Williamson on the team’s high turnover count against Kansas on Wednesday night (23).

“We’re going to have to play like every team we play is No. 1 in the nation.”

The defending national champion Aggies (10-4, 1-2) enter Hilton as the

No. 10 team in the country, but struggle with turnovers themselves and have just one shy of the Cyclones with 226.

To combat this, center Anna Prins said it needs to start in practice.

“We do turn it over a lot in practice and it transfers over into the games, so we have to work on that because obviously in this league we can’t have turnovers, especially on the road if we want to pull out wins,” Prins said.

Freshman guard Nikki Moody also added that situations will help keep that number down.

“Just trying to make every situation like the game situation in practice and try to learn from what we did last game and things like that and try to improve,” Moody said.

Photo: Karuna Ang/Iowa State Daily Baylor players reach for the ball after Brynn Williamson’s unsuccessful attempt to snatch it last Saturday. Iowa State plays No. 10 Texas A&M Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.

On the scoring end, Iowa State’s bench has notched 51 points against conference opponents this season compared to Texas A&M’s 33, and Williamson said keeping that

number is key as well.

“I think a big impact from our bench players is everyone goes in there with the mentality that ‘I need to do what I need to do, and when I come

out, it’s not what did I do wrong, it’s when I get back in there, how am I going to help the team,’” she said.

Last Saturday, the Cyclones tipped off their conference season against the No. 1-ranked Baylor Lady Bears. The game was up for grabs until the final five minutes, and with that in mind, Williamson said she doesn’t put much thought into the number before the name.

“I think it’s about you coming into the game thinking everyone is going to be the best people you’re going to play the whole season,” she said. “You can’t walk out the ramp at Hilton that night and think that you left something there or you could have don’t

something more.”

After the Baylor game, Lady Bears coach Kim Mulkey commented on the fan support at Hilton and how much the fans love women’s basketball, and Prins said that always works in their favor when they’re playing a tough team and getting them going is big.

“We have a great fan support, so getting them into the game is important as well,” she said.

“They make it fun.”

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.

ing to be looking for a little revenge from last year,” Jackson said. “We look forward to that match because we need to get back out there.”

At least one ISU wrestler will be looking for revenge too.

After losing in the semifinals at the Midlands Championships in late December, 141-pounder Luke Goettl faced off against the Hokies’ No. 11 Zach Neibert, falling 9-8 in a closely contested match.

“I just watched the video the other day and felt like I didn’t wrestle to my capability there,” Goettl said. “It’s going to be fun [wrestling a rematch] in front of the home crowd.”

At 197 pounds, Cole Shafer will have a chance to pick up a second victory against the Hokies’ Nick Vetterlein, whom he defeated in a consolation match at the Midlands 8-2.

“It was the best match I’ve seen Cole wres-

>>JAYHAWKS.p6 on him.”

The “way we handled it [against Missouri]” that Hoiberg was referring to was the 40-20 points-inthe-paint deficit Iowa State had to Missouri when the buzzer sounded Wednesday.

The Cyclones also were outrebounded 38-27, despite a height advantage over the smaller, more agile Tigers.

Both Hoiberg and his players firmly believe that the team beat themselves against Missouri, and that had they executed as they did against Texas and Texas

tle,” Jackson said. “We’re going to need another performance like that from him.”

The Cyclones will face a tough task at 133 pounds as the Hokies send No. 1 Devin Carter to the mat. Jackson hopes redshirt sophomore Ben Cash will be ready to go, but said R.J. Hallman will wrestle if not.

For No. 5 Andrew Sorenson, his match against No. 7 Peter Yates is no different than any other week. With the competition he’s faced so far this season, Sorenson said he is ready to face another highly ranked opponent.

“We have a great schedule and one of the toughest schedules in the country, so you have to be ready to wrestle week in and week out,” Sorenson said. “This weekend will be a test, but it’s a good match to showcase my skills against some of the best competition.”

The Cyclones will take the mat at 7 p.m.

Friday at Hilton Coliseum.

A&M, the result would have been different.

“You can’t be happy with coming up short without the ‘W,’ but we showed a lot of positives,” said forward Royce White. “The utmost is that we beat ourselves against the No. [9] ranked team in the nation. So you’ve got to walk away feeling good about that. If you take care of the things that are very fixable, then you win a game by not only a little margin, but maybe 10 to 15 [points].”

Hoiberg said his team reflected on the loss, but is now totally focused on preparing for Kansas while adjust-

ing on the things that went wrong against Missouri.

He said his team needed to have two days of practice Thursday and Friday where the team was “locked in.”

“Everything you do — wins, losses — you try to learn from [it],” Hoiberg said. “I told them it should hurt, hurt bad [after the loss to Missouri]. I know I didn’t sleep well, but I woke up this morning and started thinking about the next one. I instructed them to do the same thing. You want your losses to hurt, then put it behind you and start focusing on the next one.”

Football

shop sidewalk sales New hire brings familiarity Messingham takes over as coordinator

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com Paul Rhoads didn’t search long and didn’t search far when it came to selecting his new offensive coordinator to replace departing coordinator Tom Herman.

Rhoads knew early on when he and wide receivers coach Courtney Messingham came to Iowa State in 2009 that Messingham could succeed Herman whenever the 36-year-old coach moved on to a different opportunity, which he did last month, becoming the offensive coordinator at Ohio State.

“I knew Courtney was the guy about a month into the job when he was already working here,” Rhoads said. “When Tom got his opportunities — and they were going to come whether it was going to be as a head football coach or a coordinator at some other program — that opportunity was going to come and I was pretty strong that Courtney Messingham was going to be our next offensive coordinator.”

The Waterloo, Iowa, native brings 22 years of coaching experience, which include 11 of the first 15 spent as an offensive coordinator or head coach. Messingham spent his first two seasons at Iowa State

as tight ends coach before moving to the wide receivers coach position this past season.

“What Rhoads Courtney brings is he’s an excellent teacher, and I think your best teacher has to be in that position because Messingham he has to not only teach his players, but he has to teach a whole side of the ball and he has to teach a staff,” Rhoads said.

Rhoads said in December that he wanted to hire someone who would run an offense similar to the spread attack Herman implemented. The system Messingham plans to run will be similar, but as both Rhoads and Messingham made clear, it will be run with a more simple approach than that of his predecessor.

“First off, Courtney will simplify what we’re doing. He’ll have it divided into packages that we can practice and go out there and execute,” Rhoads said. “If you can do less better, you’re a better football team, and I think simply stated that’s what we’ll work at doing.”

Messingham is excited for the chance to sit down with the offensive staff once ISU’s 2012 recruiting class is signed so

that they can evaluate last season’s success in order to pick and choose which plays will make the offense both simple and “explosive.”

“I’m a big believer in that you’ve got to make it so that your skill guys in general, that they can get out and go play and get the most out of their athletic ability and not be thinking when they’re out, it’s got to become second-nature,” Messingham said.

A quarterback for three of his five years at Northern Iowa in the late ‘80s, Messingham played under center, not in the shotgun like ISU quarterbacks have done in the spread.

Messingham didn’t bring his playbook out to reporters Thursday, but he noted that fans can expect some packages where the Cyclones will run plays under center.

“From that standpoint, I think I learned that taking care of the football has to be a premium and that’s something that we’ve got to do much better,” Messingham said.

Scoring points has been a challenge for the ISU offense since 2009 as the Cyclones have finished either last or next to last in the Big 12 in scoring each of the last three seasons.

“When he told me that this was the move he was going to make, first off I was excited and then I started thinking, ‘OK we need to figure out how to score points,’” Messingham said.

The Cyclones will begin spring practice in late March.

8 Patagonia

Clothing company follows 5 Rs Programs encourage buyers to reuse, recycle

Recycle texts this semester

By Taylor.Hilsabeck @iowastatedaily.com Appropriate winter wear is a necessity at Iowa State. If you are in the market for new winter clothing and accessories, consider buying items made of recycled materials.

The outdoor clothing company Patagonia designs and sells things to be useful to its customers and the environment. Patagonia is part of an alliance of businesses that contribute at least 1 percent of their annual net sales to groups of researched and approved environmental organizations.

In his book “Let My People Go Surfing,” Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, explained his environmental philosophy: “Despite near-universal consensus among scientists that we are on the brink of environmental collapse, our society lacks the will to take action.

“Patagonia exists to challenge conventional wisdom and present a new style of responsible business.”

Patagonia urges its consumers to become a partner in their Common Threads Initiative.

Notebooks, printed syllabi, daily PowerPoint handouts and textbooks carry a high environmental impact due to the paper necessary to make them.

Choice of textbooks is something to keep in mind as the semester gets underway.

Purchasing a new textbook for every class comes with a large impact.

“The average textbook results in the emission of 10.2 kg of CO2, more than double that of a typical softcover book,” cited a study on textbooks’ impact on the environment, authored

by Emma Ritch of Cleanteach Group LLG. Old alternatives to the problem include renting, buying used and sharing textbooks. Each of these alternatives insure that your paper consumption will be reduced by 50 percent or more with each time it is recycled back into the system.

A newer alternative, e-books, are becoming more prominent. The Amazon Kindle, while already offering reduced pricing on books, reduces your environmental impact.

Patagonia offers a repair program for its clothing. The clothing will be returned within 10 business days.

As an example of how the program works, the company collects worn-out polyester garments and send the items to Teijin Fibers Limited, a fabric manufacturer, for recycling into new polyester fiber, while still reducing the overall energy impact after transporting the garments from the United States back to Teijin, which is located in Japan.

With the extra shipping, the program still yields energy savings of 76 percent and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of 71 percent, compared to the creation of polyester fiber from new, petroleum-based raw material.

Patagonia also recycles your worn-out gear into new fiber or fabric and repurposes what cannot be recycled.

So far, the company has taken in 45 tons of clothing for recycling and made 34 tons into new clothes. ™
