Blue Sky Task Force

Faculty believe process lacks proper input By Thane.Himes iowastatedaily.com Some faculty are concerned about the process of obtaining faculty input about potential College of Liberal Arts and Sciences restructuring. Last December, the ISU Chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) wrote a statement expressing concern about the lack of shared governance in regards to dealing with the LAS budget cuts, speciﬁcally the formation of the Blue Sky Task Force. “[Blue Sky] consists of individuals handpicked by the dean and the chair is one of the associate provosts,” said Heimir Geirsson, a member of ISU AAUP and associate professor of philosophy. “In addition to that, there was conﬁdentiality. The task force was not able to discuss their issues with other faculty.” LAS Dean Michael Whiteford’s initial charge to Blue Sky included saying that he would consult with the LAS Budget Advisory

The first story will appear Thursday and the second on Friday. Look for coverage of Saturday’s Dance Marathon. event Monday. This is Amy Eyles’s story.

By Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com As ﬁve-year-old Amy Eyles ran about the lobby of the Memorial Union, the pride in her parents’ eyes was distinct. With her small round-framed glasses and toothy smile, students could not resist smiling as

she ran up to them, only to dodge away at a second’s notice. For Gary and Judi Eyles, the fact their daughter could bring a smile to others’ faces was remarkable. At birth, Amy was diagnosed with a disorder known as Sturge-Weber syndrome. This is a congenital, nonfamilial disorder, meaning it is formed at birth, but is not inherited, according to the SturgeWeber Foundation’s website. Its cause and incidence is declared as unknown. People who have Sturge-Weber syndrome often will have a facial birthmark or port-wine stain, as well as neurological abnormalities. “When Amy was born, the blood vessels in her face and brain did not form and spread the way they were supposed to, which resulted in a purplish, red vascular birthmark on her face, head and neck [which] messed up her brain,” Judi said.

For Amy, dealing with SturgeWeber syndrome means she has mental retardation, a seizure disorder, speech delays, strokelike episodes and glaucoma, Judi said. When Amy was ﬁrst born, she had the characteristic purple birthmark on her face. W h e n this is seen on a newborn baby, the pediatrician will

press on the birthmark on the forehead to see if it changes color to determine if blood vessels are the cause. “Her face was purple like she was choking, but her vitals were normal and everything else was normal,” Judi said. “It is rare for children to be born with Sturge-Weber Syndrome,” Judi said. “Most children born with it will have neurological damage done to one side of the brain. It is even more rare for them to have the damage on both sides of the brain like Amy.” When people with SturgeWeber syndrome only have damage done to one side of the brain, patients can have that side surgically removed in order to stop the seizures. Because Amy has abnormalities on both sides of her brain, this type of surgery is not pos-

Recreation Services

Renovations costly to both students, staff By Sarah.Clark iowastatedaily.com Students will not be the only ones seeing increasing fees to pay for new recreation renovations — Non-student users, including ISU faculty and staff, will also be paying the price. Iowa State University’s newly remodeled Beyer Hall and State Gym recreation center is on the homestretch to recovery. The rec center is scheduled to open this coming fall. The gym, costing $52.8 million, has been funded from the increasing student activity fees over the last two years. The recreation fees, which cost academic students approximately $225 this year, will increase once again by more than 30 percent to $322. The increase will be implemented beginning in the summer term and will continue throughout the upcoming fall and spring

Sloss House welcomes visitors Newly remodeled women’s center holds grand opening By Carmen.Leng iowastatedaily.com The clothesline strung between the beams supporting the Margaret Sloss Women’s Center is one of the few things remaining untouched since Penny Rice began her position as the interim director in 2000. The newly remodeled Margaret Sloss Women’s Center held its grand opening Wednesday. The house received many cosmetic updates, from new carpet and furniture to a new roof and fresh coats of paint. “In the basement ... are these beams that I imagine hold the house up,” Rice said. “When I ﬁrst came down in 2000 and saw the clothesline I kind of wondered if it was holding the house together and I didn’t want to mess with it, so it’s still here.,” Rice said. “The house is still up and now its renovated and I’ve had the joy of being able to work here for ten years, so I think the clothesline has worked out for both of us,” Rice said.

Ricy Gervais to appear on NBC’s ‘The Office’ NEW YORK — NBC says Ricky Gervais (jur-VAYS’) will make a cameo appearance on “The Office” next week, reprising the role he played in the original British version that he helped create. NBC said that Gervais’ brief appearance on Jan. 27 will be as David Brent. That’s the smart-alecky paper salesman who inspired the character of Michael Scott, portrayed by Steve Carell on NBC’s successful adaptation of the comedy. Gervais, who caused a stir as the insult-slinging host of the Golden Globes earlier this week, serves as an executive producer of NBC’s “The Office.” It airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET. Gervais’ appearance was first reported on the TV Line website.

NEW YORK — To suit an altered music landscape, MTV is planning an untraditional award show celebrating digital music. The network says it’s prepping an as-yet unnamed, multiplatform award show for April or May that will exult digital music and its many varied incarnations. The nature of the show hasn’t yet been deﬁned, but MTV says it will be a “multiscreen experience,” including the Internet, social media and mobile — but not broadcast. Categories for awards haven’t been determined, but they’ll include things like best app, best blog, best music meme of the year and best Kanye West tweet. MTV hopes the show will do for digital music what its Video Music Awards did for the music video.

The conﬁdentiality of the task force fueled suspicion and worry, Girton said. “Any time you have secret proceedings in a university, it immediately fuels speculation that you don’t want to tell people,” Girton said. “You’re afraid of open debate,” Girton said. “You can accept losing if you had a fair shot to have your point made, but you can’t accept having an outcome when you didn’t have the chance.” Girton said the sad part is even if suggestions made in the Blue Sky report are the right things to do, “You’ve just screwed your chances of getting the faculty to do those by insulting them with a process that ignores their input.” “We’re the ones who are going to have to make this work” Girton said. “We’re the ones who are going to have to change the teaching. We’re the ones who are going to have to make our research work in a new environment. And we’re the ones who should have input on what [the administration] is going to do. Rather than have a task force consisting of members from each department in LAS that are hand-picked by

During the grand opening

Whiteford, Geirsson and Girton believe the faculty should have elected its own representatives if such a committee were to be formed. “In the academic community, there are certain fundamental principles,” Girton said, “one of which is that the processes should be fair and the people involved get a chance to participate. That’s kind of the nature of the academic community. That’s why the AAUP is so concerned with processes and making sure they involve proper faculty input.” The Blue Sky Task Force has completed its charge after turning in its report to Whiteford last December, but open forums will be held to discuss the suggestions made in the report. “Dean Whiteford may reply that everyone has a chance to comment,” Geirsson said. “Perhaps individuals have a chance to raise questions at that point, but they speak for themselves primarily, and they don’t have the information that the faculty should have to make this kind of recommendation. “Faculty input at an open forum comes off the wrong end, in this case. It comes from individuals who are uninformed.” Geirsson and Girton would prefer a discussion among colleagues at a departmental level in order to decide how to proceed. “Basically, a more formal way for the faculty, collectively, to have input as opposed to individuals simply making comments,” Girton said. “Making comments is not the same as input, Girton said.” The current goal is to have an ofﬁcial proposal ready by Spring Break, leaving little time for what the ISU AAUP considers to be fair and proper faculty input. “Part of the key point of having faculty input is to make sure that decisions to change are not made lightly and are not made hurriedly or on a whim,” Girton said. “It is extremely difficult for universities to undo mistakes.”

guests were welcomed to refreshments, cake and a tour of the Sloss Center. Pictures were available of the MSWC before and after the renovation and staff were present and available to talk to. Ashley Schmuecker, volunteer at the MSWC and senior in religious studies, had never seen so many people in the Sloss House before she attended the grand opening.

Non-student users, who consist mostly of faculty, retirees, alumni and their spouses, will also be subject to increases. Non-student users have been given lower alternate rates in the past and will now pay the same fee that students are assessed. “Since students are bearing the cost of the facilities upgrades, it is important that all other users share the cost as well,” said Michael Giles, director of recreation services. Some students feel the new gym is worthy of the fee increase. “To me the gym will be worth the fee,” said Nick McEachron, sophomore in pre-business. “I love playing pick-up basketball games but at the same time I hate playing on the track at the Rec,” McEachron said. “Having brand new hardwood ﬂoors will be amazing and make playing basketball much more enjoyable,” McEachron said. Other students feel there should be an alternate option for students who choose not to use one or both of the gyms. “I think there should be an option when paying tuition or on the U-bill that you could select to have a membership to none, one or both of the gyms,” said Tyler Carter, sophomore in pre-business. The new gym will offer many of the same services as the Lied Recreation Center.

indoor jogging tracks, ﬁve basketball courts, a climbing wall, rooms for specialty programs such as pilates and yoga and even a new smoothie bar entitled “Froots”. Many students are excited about the new and improved services the State Gym will have to offer. “I’m personally really excited about the new State Gym,” McEachron said. “Mainly because it’s on the west side of campus and that’ll be nice instead of having to trek all the way to the other corner of campus.” Although the new gym has many things to offer, some students and faculty aren’t impressed. “I’m not sure if the fee is worth it to every student at Iowa state especially if you have to pay for the old and new state gym, when most likely students will just use the closer of the two,” Carter said.

The current recreation center, Lied, is located on the east side of campus while the new State Gym is on the west side. “I think it’ll be nice having two separate recreation facilities,” McEachron said. “The biggest beneﬁt is the convenience of the location — having gyms on both sides of campus will be awesome in the winter so students don’t have to walk all the way over to the other one every time they want to use the recreation center,” McEachron said. “Also, Lied can get packed so having another one will help loosen congestion,” McEachron said. Also new to the State Gym will be the limited access. Similar to the entrance of the Lied Recreation Athletic Center, people wanting to enter the gym will be required to have their ISU card. This will ensure that the only people gaining entrance to the recreation centers are those who are bearing the costs.

Taxpayers First Act

Republicans’ bill aims to cut millions ByTyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com Iowa House Republicans’ ﬁrst major bill would cost Iowa’s public universities $48 million while tying their hands by forbidding schools from raising tuition more than 4 percent. A provision in House File 45, or the Taxpayers First Act, would cut $10 million from the three Regents universities. It would also freeze sabbaticals, or “career development assignments,” for 18 months. Republicans have claimed a freeze on sabbaticals would save $6 million, and tried to pass it last year in the minority. The sabbatical cuts would only save $164,690, but could potentially cost the universities more than $8 million in revenue. Research and work done during sabbaticals often attract grants, sponsorships and other outside sources of funding for the university, according to the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency. “Among the most productive and brightest of our faculty over the years have been not one, but several very productive sabbaticals,” said Dave Swenson, staff research economist at Iowa State. Sabbaticals lead to opportunities to do new research, Swenson said, which brings money into the state and funds graduate students. “But more than that you’re developing knowledge,” Swenson said. “And in-it-of-itself, developing knowledge is a valuable thing for the state of Iowa — in every discipline, not just the hard sciences.” Critics of sabbaticals have called them “paid vacations.” “It’s awful hard to look a taxpayer in the eye and say, ‘You need to pay higher property taxes so that a professor can take a year off from teaching to

Cutting sabbaticals was discussed in December by the Board of Regents, but the state’s three university presidents adamantly defended the practice. “I would argue that just 22 faculty members out of our entire faculty is a very worthwhile investment for us to make,” President Geoffroy said. “The cost is very low and the benefit will be tremendous,” said President Gregory Geoffroy at the regents meeting in December. Beyond the initial cuts, the Regents would lose $15 million in each of the following two fiscal years. Tuesday night, the Iowa legislature stayed late at the Capitol to hear from 93 concerned citizens, speaking largely against the measure. Of the 93, 20 signed up to support the legislation, eight were undecided and 65 identified themselves as opposed. People were also allowed to submit comments through e-mail if they could not attend in person. The comments, 436 out of 479 public comments submitted either orally or electronically to the Iowa House Appropriations Committee were in opposition to the cuts to smoking cessation programs, education, environmental protections, health-care and transportation programs proposed in the Taxpayers First Act, an Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement analysis of the public record showed Wednesday. Just two speakers defended public universities, Lee Henely of the University of Iowa student government and Joel Anderson, University of Northern Iowa student body president.

Anderson said, “which forces many students to leave Iowa post-graduation and have the potential to push students out of the universities who can no longer afford a college education.” Iowa is ranked to be the state with the third highest average student loan debt by the Project on Student Debt. “When students cannot afford education on the public level, can we truly call it public education?” Anderson asked. Iowa State’s student body president Luke Roling was listed to speak, but when his name was called he apparently was not present. After the public forum, House File 45 was amended to limit any increase in tuition, fees or other charges at the institutions of higher education under its control during a school year. It was to increase up no more than four percent of the amount of the tuition, fees or other charges in effect during the previous school year. Last session, four Republican Representatives offered legislation that would have tied tuition increases to the Higher Education Price Index and required public hearings before any increase could move forward. Republicans have also now dropped a cut to library acquisitions. Prior to this, Swenson said a library is the “core and heart” of a university and criticized the idea of cuts to them. “It just bespeaks of complete ignorance of the role and function of a library to a world class institution,” Swenson said. Swenson warned undermining higher education and thus depleting human capital or the skill of the available workforce in Iowa, would hinder the state’s ability to compete for jobs. ™

Later that day he returned to the hospital and told Judi about his findings. “I was a very emotional mother, especially at that point and the only thing I could think was, ‘Oh my god, she’s going to be a vegetable.’ I felt bad for Amy,” Judi said. “It varies widely how the syndrome affects people,” Gary said. “Some people get along just fine with it and others can barely function at all. We just want to find out everything we can about it and deal with what comes.” What the future holds is perhaps the hardest aspect for Amy’s family. “The first few years are toughest for us, but it’s the future that will be difficult for her as well as us,” Gary said. “Right

As she gets older though, she will start to realize its effects and notice people’s reactions to her.” In most public settings, others’ reactions to Amy’s birthmark vary greatly. “Other parents who don’t know what Amy has will often shelter their children from Amy thinking she has something like measles,” Judi said. “Other children will ask about her face as will older people. However, there is a huge gap of people who will just stare.” “When people ask about her, we’re ﬁne with explaining it to them,” Gary said. “I worry medically,” Judi said. “Those scary moments when she has seizures I wonder, is she going to survive? It’s totally out of the blue.” Amy is looking forward to attending her ﬁrst Dance Marathon this weekend. “She loves dancing and be-

ing around people,” Judi said. Amy’s family became involved with Iowa State’s Dance Marathon 18 months ago. “As a staff member of Iowa State, I was familiar with the organization, but I never realized it was a year-round thing until we joined,” Judi said. “At the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, they have donated so much in regards to rehabilitative equipment, and they donated a well-stocked toy room there as well. It’s great how they hold events throughout the year for the children and their families as well.” Amy loves attending the events and playing with other children. “Watching her progress and get so far developmentally, it is so joyful to see she’s capable of doing so much,” Judi said. “Everybody makes compensations and we have a tremendous support system. We don’t get bogged down.”

Editorial

Use future MLK days to contemplate We’re not sure why we didn’t have school Monday. It’s not that we don’t appreciate what Martin Luther King, Jr. did for the civil rights movement; we absolutely think he deserves a day in his honor. Racism permeates our culture every bit as much as in countries abroad. We’ll spare you examples from abroad and lay one on you directly from home. Current members of congress still openly question the citizenship of our half-black commander-in-chief, and pundits don’t hesitate to associate the word “Muslim” with him in a pejorative fashion. Is this the direct, to the point racism you might expect to find south of the Mason-Dixon line? No, but diet racism still tastes like the real thing, no matter how low the calories go. We’re not sure why the university didn’t stay open and offer some commemorative events on campus. This could have been an opportunity for all of us to learn more about Dr. King’s accomplishments, about how far we’ve come since the civil rights movement of the 1960s — and about how far we still have to go. We could have had a big event in the Great Hall, or a few screenings of films in our auditoriums, perhaps, in lieu of a normal class schedule. Dearest administration, lest ye hath forgotten, three-day weekends during playoff season mean an extra day of laziness and, for many, drinking. A completely unofficial, poorlytallied word-of-mouth straw poll we took the liberty of conducting indicates that the reflection on MLK day for most of our compatriots was not upon the ramifications of past racism and segregation, but the kind found in the ivory waters of the nearest lavatory. Broaden our horizons, please. There was a nice story on Sunday’s 60 Minutes regarding the MLK memorial under construction in Washington, D.C. We figure a $120 million memorial to the only nonpresident on the National Mall is a pretty big deal. There’s a statue of Dr. King’s likeness underway, along with large granite walls inscribed with his poignant, brave words spoken during the civil rights movement. It’s also still underfunded by $20 million and, as with most construction, behind schedule. We’ll dazzle you with links and videos online. If we’re hypocritical for being fans of a stone monument in lieu of a day of commemoration used as another excuse for a federal sabbatical, we’re all right with that. We have this sneaking suspicion Dr. King would rather have us tending to our studies.

Spending

Apparel on a budget B

en Franklin said, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” I had heard it many times as a child, but it never really made sense to me until I had to grow up and pay for things myself. You have to work to make the money and you must continue to work to save and make the most out of it. That’s where I come in. After a semester absence from the opinion crew I am back with a goal. I want to impart my wisdom with all you fellow students on how to make your hard-earned money stretch without sacrificing the all the great things. Clothing, entertainment, living, and traveling — the topics will change. Keep an eye out for me, you freshman. Next year you’re gonna need this advice. As a college student, I absolutely appreciate underwear that doesn’t fall apart. That being said, I hope all of you college ladies were able to take advantage of Victoria’s Secret semi-annual sale. I mean really, this event should have a special place on the calendar you just got for Christmas. Forget standing in line for hours in the freezing cold during Black Friday, now is the time to buy. Everywhere you go businesses are giving discounts. This is for many reasons. One is because retail companies want to get rid of their holiday stock to make way for new shipments. Also, companies know that people want to spent their gift cards now, and people usually spend over the amount on their card. Another is to boost revenue. Everyone buys during the holidays and now your money is spent, so offering discounts gets you back

through their doors. For whatever reason, it’s really a win-win situation here. Now back to Victoria’s Secret. I really meant it. I’m a college student, and as such, I can’t exactly afford to buy bras and panties that fall apart and crap out on you when you least expect it. There’s nothing worse than sitting in a lecture class and the only thing you can think about it how the elastic on your underwear is riding up or making your skin pinch. Or you’re on a hot date and instead of keeping up with the conversation you are cursing the dorm’s harsh dry cycle for making your underwire poke out in funny places. Remember, this store isn’t all just sexy lingerie. Take it from me, it’s better to shop in stores that have higher quality and buy a few nice things than to buy a lot of low quality products at Kohl’s or Wal-Mart. Higher quality stores offer clothing that are more durable, last longer and are just a hell of a lot more comfortable. The secret here, no pun intended, is knowing when to shop. Stores like VS and Express ask for your email and definitely, definitely, definitely offer it up. Not only do they send you discounts and coupons to print out, but the emails also serve as a reminder to get your butt in the doors. Plus, many of their coupons aren’t BOGO deals. They offer a lot of “$10 off your next order” deals. Who wouldn’t take that? While we’re at it, take a bus to the North Grand Mall to save on gas! Express is a clothing store that offers style and class to your wardrobe. As college students, this isn’t a place you’re likely to

buy a lot of items at full price, but they do offer adorable dresses and interview clothes, both for men and women. Give ‘em your email and address. Their coupon cards give you an excuse to finally buy that LBD you’ve been lusting after. Maurice’s is also a great place to buy some interview and casual/ everyday clothing. End of every month and season is a good time to find these items on sale. Their Take Ten card is great for frequent shoppers. Double the punch card with fall back-to-school sales and you can get a new pair of Silvers fairly cheap, for Silvers anyway. Another option for clothing that is often overlooked is buying from Goodwill. I used to be a believer that all of my clothes must be purchased new, until I bought an almost brand new skirt suit in my size for less than six bucks. Many part-time jobs also require certain uniform styles like khaki or black pants. Goodwill is full of them. Buy a few pair new and a few pair from Goodwill. You will save money and have a longer time until you need to do laundry. Trips here are hit and miss, so don’t let one bad visit ruin your shopping experience at pre-used clothing stores. Go back and check out the new items once a month. Although it is advisable to consider making clothing purchases at Goodwill, it isn’t necessary to just assume that you will be donating your old clothing to the store. Consignment shops like The Loft and Duck Worth Wearing on Main Street buy fashionable and gently used clothing and accessories. So all those items your parents bought you from Abercrombie in high school before you gained the freshman 15? Sell them to a con-

More and more students are taking low-paying jobs and internships to try and get their foot in the door. These opportunities might not be best way to pay off student loans, but the experiences are quite valuable. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

signment shop and use the credit to make new purchases there. The same goes for your old prom dresses. Be honest, are you ever really going to wear them again? Sell them to consignment shops before the dresses go out of style. Iowa State even helps to support clothing recycling. Throughout campus denim jean recycling is offered. The old denim is used to create insulation in low-income housing and just for donating, Vanity gives you a coupon for 25 percent off a new pair at their store. Last October the ISU group Closets Collide collected students’ gently used clothing and accessories for a weekend long clothing swap. If you still insist on carrying the expensive designer handbags, please stay away from shady alleyways looking for cheap knockoffs or possibly stolen bags. Check out sites that offer them for rent like bagborroworsteal.com. I totally have my eye on the Louis Vuitton Tivoli handbag currently on wait list. They carry such brands as Gucci, Coach, Juicy Couture and Isabelle Fiore, among others. The point here is, there’s no reason to punish yourself because you need to save money. There is an outstanding number of ways to still do all the things you want to do, but on a budget. Check around for the best quality at the best pricing. Remember, just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean it’s a good deal. You’re hopefully only going to be a student for a few years and saving money now will limit your amount of loans you will have to pay back later. Be smart, be classy, and I’ll see you next week.

o, here you are. Four months from graduation and you feel your job prospects are about as promising as an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement. Which is to say, not very. But fear not, gentle reader. What I’m here to tell you is that it’s not quite as scary out there as they say, but it’s no picnic either. What you must ask yourself is, what am I willing to do to prevent moving back in with my parents. Sacrifices must be made. This is the time when you really test your mettle. First, understand that, with rare exception, the first job you land probably won’t pay as well as your student loans. In fact the first job you land might not even pay at all. More and more, graduates must turn to the internship (unpaid, of course) to get the valuable experience necessary to land that first career-type job. The proliferation of the unpaid internship is a direct relflection of the crumminess of the economy. A brutal case study of supply and demand. The

Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment report for December showed a rate of 9.4 percent, and that was an improvement! If all interns who currently go without paychecks were suddenly put on the books, the unemployment rate would be something like negative 4.3 percent. It’s a sad truth, but the experience gained at an internship is invaluable when you start sending out resumes. So call some friends, get ready to do some couch surfing. You may have to bounce around for a bit while you’re getting this invaluable experience. Call it an exercise in lifestyle minimalism and accept that no one is above drinking Steel Reserve. Next, the possibility exists that you may have to find employment in an area unrelated to your course of study. Suck it up. There is no better motivation for spending all of your free time cranking out resumes and cover letters than spending all of your working time sacking groceries or serving people food. Trust me. I’ve done it. It is incredible and disturbing how

many morbidly obese people you see when working at either a grocery store or restaurant. Scratch that. It makes perfect sense. But I digress. The point here is that when you walk across that stage in May, the friendly man handing you your diploma stops at that. He hasn’t got a job for you. Every person there watching you and your fellow alumni or alumnae, is very proud of you, but few of them are there to offer you a job. You’re going to need some experience. You’re definitely going to need some humility. And a little luck will take you a long way. But whatever your experience immediately after receiving that 40, 50 or 60 thousand dollar piece of paper, make the most of it. Learn from it. And use it to make the next step. Because at the end of the day, not matter how great your mom and dad are (and your mom IS great), you don’t want to move back in with them. And they probably don’t want you to move back in either. They do weird stuff when you’re gone.

Finances

College debt tameable By Yun.Kwak iowastatedaily.com

topic I love to talk about with my roommates is college and the purpose of college. As a psychology major my focus was to learn about something that really interested me, something which I now know will put me at a signiďŹ cant income disadvantage compared to an engineering or business major unless if I go to graduate school. I started to think about a lot of things and wonder if I had chosen the wrong major. I ask myself what should college be. Should have I had more guidance? Should it be a place to learn about the things you ďŹ nd interesting and love? To discover a passion for a subject area and inspire you to see the word differently? or should it teach practical and meaningful skills so that you will be able to have a decent job with decent pay? I will admit that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give the pay gap much thought when coming here and trying to say that I was ill informed seems like a poor excuse so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll count that one out. As for the rest of the questions, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like me the answer should ideally be â&#x20AC;&#x153;all of the aboveâ&#x20AC;?. College should open your mind to new experiences while giving you practical skills to maintain a sharp edge in the work world. Another question that arises is, â&#x20AC;&#x153;At what cost?â&#x20AC;? I ask this because I recently read an article on Yahoo! Finance about a girl who

graduated from college with $200,000 in debt. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound bad until you realize that she has a degree in sociology which probably means she wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay down her debts anytime soon with monthly payments of almost $900. This is a problem that also applies to students here. According to the GSB website, Iowa State leads the nation for the amount of debt a student will have after they graduate which is $30,000. While this is very high I feel that this number is manageable even for someone graduating with a degree in social sciences. It certainly is a lot more manageable than $200,000 at the very least. Sometimes I feel like in agreement with my roommates that college is just a waste of money or an outright scam. Certainly I feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an outright scam if people are being left in hundreds and thousands of dollars in debt to obtain an undergraduate degree. But there are times when you begin to think if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a big mistake. For example, maybe I could have gone to community college and maybe pay nine times less than what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m paying now to get an associateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in a technical area to make decent money. But somehow I feel that the extra money is worth paying for. Does a community college grant you research

opportunities? It seems like most of them would not. After all they are more or less technical colleges that serve to teach you skills, not research institutions. What about opportunity? Iowa State offers career fairs so that by the time you graduate hopefully you will have found employment right after you receive your degree. Looking at a community college near where I live in Kansas, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have anything like Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career management service. That nine times higher cost of attending Iowa State gives me a four year degree. An experience that is wholly unique to universities that community colleges canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match. Not only do I get to learn about something I really like, I also have the opportunity to participate in research work in the ďŹ eld already. Should I want, I could even ďŹ nd a job so that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m employed by the time I graduate. But is it all worth it? I would say yes for now. A debt of $30,000 is manageable for most students, especially engineers. Unfortunately it is also expectable for that number to increase as tuition also increases. College should remain affordable and open to people to a certain extent. If being able to pay starts to become an admissions criteria, then maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to re-evaluate education spending.

Honors dues are ridiculous

210 Gray Sunset View

By Abigail.Barefoot iowastatedaily.com the work of working two jobs, and getting on the dean's list and other activities. Why should they pay for the hard work that they already did? It seems questionable to honor a person based on merit, and recognize those merits only after they've signed their membership checks. Yet you can't just ignore the letter, thanks to constant nagging from parents and advisers alike. Lord knows memberships to honor societies pay dividends in the dog-eat-dog, post-recession job market. I'll concede the opportunites that exist to become further involved both within your ďŹ eld and help the community abroad, activities that help you meet people and learn more about your major. That is, if your honor society actually does things on campus. I am currently in two honor societies. One, I paid $75 for a certiďŹ cate and haven't really heard a word from them, though they say that they are big on community service. The other was $30 and we're attempting to start community services and academic activities. Point being, more money for membership dues doesn't necessarily translate to club merit or activity.

I'm not saying all honor societies suck, or that paying dues should be illegal. Some honor societies rock, some don't, and I am not in a position to judge the majority. I just think that for that kind money, you should be getting bang for your buck. So where does all of this money go? To help pay for operations, Phi Beta Kappa, one of the most prestigious honor societies, has raised membership fees twice in the past four years. Their annual budget is $4.7 million, with about half coming from alumni donations from merchandise royalties. So why have the huge fees for student members? Golden Key spent $289,461 on scholarships, less than 5 percent of their total expenditures in 1997. So where is the rest of the money going to? I have yet to ďŹ nd a complete breakdown of where some of these bigger, more expensive organizations are putting the money, just vague references to scholarships and speakers. So other than a line on your resume, what do you really get out of it? It makes you wonder: Are you paying someone to provide you with a kick-ass resume entry? In a way, it's like your

kindergarten teacher charging you $25 for the gold star she puts on your drawings. It's a nice gesture, sure, and makes you feel better, yeah, but is it worth the price?

ongratulations! Because of your hard work and dedication at Iowa State, we've decided to let you join our prestigious society that looks good on those job resumes, meet all those important people, and be a better person, all for $90. And your soul. Now, I understand that dues for honor societies are used for providing speakers, scholarships and covering costs for various activities for members to use. But how much is too much? Golden Key costs $75 to get in. Others can cost more, and include everything from T-shirts to a nice lapel pin that will sit forever in my jewelry box. Can I get a lower fee if I say I don't want it? Nope. I can understand $20, but almost $100 for students who are already struggling to pay for college and racking up thousands in debt? Why should we pay that much? Some of these organizations have hardly any ďŹ nancial aid options for people struggling to pay dues. It's almost like if you can afford to join you get recognized, even though some one else could do the same amount of work and be ignored? These people already did

International Perspective

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Aus-ervationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; from a newcomer to Iowa

By Lauren.Hayward iowastatedaily.com

befriended my ďŹ rst Iowans even before arriving in Iowa from Canberra, Australia. They were homely and friendly Hawkeyes that had been to the Iowa game in Arizona, we met on our ďŹ&#x201A;ight from Dallas to Des Moines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You speak really good English,â&#x20AC;? said the woman, a high school computing teacher, with a kind motherly smile. I could say little more than thank you and nod politely. I was unaware that my ability to speak was worthy of praise. I turned back to my in-ďŹ&#x201A;ight magazine, confused, but numbed with jet lag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So,â&#x20AC;? the woman ventured cautiously â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you speak English down there?â&#x20AC;? I was dumbfounded and pulled out of my trans-PaciďŹ c stupor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes,â&#x20AC;? I managed to spit out, my head swimming with both American and Australian stereotypes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, OK,â&#x20AC;? she said, defeated, understanding exactly why my English was so good, and realizing how strange her compliment was. I scrambled to explain Australian history, to ďŹ&#x201A;esh out my bleak response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well we were a British colony and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still part of the Commonwealth, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we speak English, I mean technically Australia has a queen.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh, like Canada,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exactly,â&#x20AC;? I said, restraining my laughter, the shock had worn off and the humor of the situation had set in. As an Australian, I was completely unaware just how isolated our desert island really is. I quite arrogantly had made the assumption that foreigners have an understanding of my nation that reaches beyond Crocodile Dundee and those barbecued shrimp.

Another little known fact is that Australia is the birth place of Wi-Fi. The Commonwealth Science and Industrial Research Organization invented the technology in the mid 90s, and now there are plans to create a world-class ďŹ ber optic broadband network to span the entire country. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no small feat when you consider that Australia is about the same size as the continental USA in terms of landmass. Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s geography and size alone allows it to experience some of the most extreme weather conditions on Earth. At the moment there is severe ďŹ&#x201A;ooding the size of Texas in some of our most important agricultural and mining areas of Queensland and New South Wales, while on the west coast there are enormous bushďŹ res ravaging hinterland and threatening homes. Perhaps it is the environment itself that lends to the Australian way of life. Australians are innately aware that life is unpredictable, so we just lay back, chill and try to enjoy the fruits of the land. That means the swimming in crystal waters and soaking up the sun on white sand beaches; quad biking across desert plains and bush land, dodging Kangaroos; or partying in our vibrant and modern cities to some of the best dance music the world has to offer; always with mates and a cold beer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but never ever Fosters. Australians may not have the famous Midwestern hospitality, but we will call you a mate, regardless of whether or not we know you. You will be invited to drink, eat and laugh as long as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take yourself too seriously, and above all else we want to tell you about the lucky country just to prove you wrong about those damn shrimp.

Although Hugh Jackman is indeed our greatest achievement, Australia is so much more than the idea of a rugged man wrestling wild and exotic animals; it is a country

of innovation and adventure, of extremes and contradictions of conďŹ&#x201A;ict and mateship. Few people would know that we have our ďŹ rst female Prime Minister,

a ranga â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or red head â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who was the deputy before challenging the Prime Minister to ensure their party remained incumbent prior to the then-looming election.

Recreation

Take a study break, enjoy wintertime By Clare.Schwager iowastatedaily.com

ast night while struggling to think of a topic that required little to no effort to write, I realized I would much rather be outside doing one of several things: sledding, skating, building igloos, etc. Anything to get out of my lilliputian dorm room and away from all the homework I put off until 10 p.m. on a Monday night. So, after an hour or two of studying molecular biology and Charles Darwin and something in French I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really remember, I decided to go stand at my window and stare outside for a while. While I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily condone procrastination, occasional breaks from the academic world can be extremely beneďŹ cial for mental sanity, if nothing else. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure professors understand this as well as students. While winter might seem like the bane of a college studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s existence, it actually has a lot to offer. For one thing, snow days, though rare, are like Christmas all over again, minus the presents, the food and the parties. Okay, so not Christmas, but bear with me here. Cancelled classes are probably the next best thing, can we all agree on that? As for sledding, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I even need to mention how incredibly awesome this activity is. Despite dripping noses, frostbitten ďŹ ngers, soaked clothes and hat hair, sledding is worth every minute spent zooming downhill (and occasionally through the air). If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a sled, I advise investing in one. Target has some inexpensive options for around ďŹ ve-to-ten bucks, or bug a friend who has one and try doubling up. Going two-to-a-sled deďŹ nitely increases the fun factor ... just be sure to wear extra-squishy snowpants. Landings can be rough. The Ames/ISU Ice Arena, located at 1507 Gateway Hills Park Drive is an excellent place for skating any day of the week. Admission is $4.75 for adults and $2.75 for skate rental, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a special discount for ISU students

Instead of staying indoors, spending time outside and enjoying winter can help make surviving cold months go by faster. File photo: Iowa State Daily

on Wednesdays. Visit the website to check the hours (http://www.cityofames.org/ ParksRecWeb/IceArena. htm). If you have any, bring your own skates to cut down on the cost. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like ďŹ nding a sled or shelling out hardearned cash to go skating, you can always go the easy route and simply enjoy watching people try their best not to slip on the icy sidewalks. Although most of the dangers have been

taken care of by now, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve witnessed quite a few hapless victims fall prey â&#x20AC;&#x201D; literally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to hidden patches. Of course, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only amusing until you experience it yourself ... not that I have or anything. Ahem. Last but not least, there is always the option of starting a full-on snowball war. Now that the snow isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite so fresh and ďŹ&#x201A;uffy anymore, it makes an excellent missile if packed correctly. The trick is to use your bare hands. The

heat from your palms melts the snow just enough to form a perfect snowball. Now, if I ďŹ nd myself bombarded from all sides on my way to classes this week Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll know my advice was taken a little too well. Or not well, depending on how you

look at it. While it might seem like the snow is packing up for the winter, never fear. This is Iowa, folks. It will be back, and probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be gone for good until March. So instead of wallowing in self-despair

and the winter blues, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s make the most of this time of year. Before you know it, Spring Break will be just around the corner. That was a little too optimistic, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it? Forget that last part. Just try to survive the month.

Cyclones fall in overtime

By Kyle Fredrickson The Daily O’Collegian STILLWATER, Okla. — In front of a rowdy home crowd at Gallagher-Iba Arena on Wednesday night, Oklahoma State won in overtime against Iowa State, 96-87. The Cowboys (14-4, 2-2 Big 12) were led by Jean-Paul Olukemi, sophomore forward, by scoring a game-high 29 points. Olukemi was perfect from the foul line, making all 12 of his attempts. Iowa State (14-5, 1-3) stayed in the game behind the 3-point shooting of seniors Diante Garrett and Jamie Vanderbeken. The two combined for nine makes behind the 3-point line. The Cyclones also got production out of freshman guard Babu Palo, scoring 11 points, one shy of his career high. However, it was Garrett’s play that impressed Olukemi. “That was a really good team, with a really good point guard,” Olukemi said. “I think they

shot the ball well.” But it was the Cowboys who were able to make big shots down the stretch to ward off the Cylcones. Junior OSU guard Keiton Page hit the game-tying 3-pointer with 26 seconds left Hoiberg to force overtime. The Cowboys came out strong in the extra period with a Markel Brown steal and layup on the Cyclones’ ﬁrst possession. With 32 seconds remaining, Brown added another two points to give OSU an 88-84 Garrett lead and the eventual victory “We were on the verge of putting that game away and we just allowed second shots,” Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg said. “All those little things add up and it ended up costing us the game.”

Track and Field

Track team prepares to host ISU Open Event will feature more than 1,500 athletes By Kevin.Shay iowastatedaily.com ISU track and ﬁeld will compete in their ﬁrst meet of the season when they host the 2011 Iowa State Open this Friday and Saturday at Lied Recreation Center. Women’s weight throw and the nonseeded women’s 5,000-meter run will kick off the competition Friday at 3 p.m. And women’s shot put and the non-seeded women’s 3,000-meter run will kick off Saturday’s events at 10 a.m. And coach Ihmels is pleased with the shape his team came back in after a long winter break. “For the most part [everyone worked hard over break], and I’ve see the distance runners up close and they all look good,” said Ihmels. “I’m pretty excited about that group and it looks like in the last week that all groups are raring to go.” Throws coach Grant Wall agreed with Ihmels about his player’s hard work over break. “They [the throws team] went home so motivated and worked hard,” said Wall. “A lot of them don’t get the opportunity

to throw at home so we focused more on the weight room. And they came back and looked great. I don’t even think we missed a step. I actually think we took a step forward, but we’ll see on Friday – that’ll be the tell-tale sign of where we’re at.” Aside from his team’s apparent hardwork over break, Ihmels is satisﬁed with the team’s nice blend of veteran leadership and energetic youth. “We’ve got a pretty good veteran group coming back,” Ihmels said. “Betsy Saina and Hillary Bor are All-American returners [for distance events]. And Kianna Elahi had a tremendous year last year and seems ready. Then Danielle Frere and Laishema Hampton look good in the weight. And we got some newcomers ready to get in the mix for the ﬁrst time.” Frere and Hampton both threw personal bests at the Holiday Preview meet before break. And Wall believes Hampton is a few feet away from the distance she needs in order to qualify for nationals. Also, Wall is expecting big things from senior thrower Josh Koglin – who transferred to Iowa State from Saginaw Valley State after Wall left Saginaw Valley State to take the throws coach job here at ISU. “I am expecting big things from Josh,” Wall said. “He was a little off last year, but looking at the last two practices, they’ve

probably been the best two back-to-back practices we’ve ever had together at this point in the year.” The jumpers also have a new member of their group in the form of women’s volleyball player Hannah Willms. “Were excited that volleyball is gonna let us have her for a little bit here indoors,” Ihmels said. “And she’s someone that had an outstanding high school career and can help the jumpers even more. And I know she’s excited to get out there and jump.” The Cyclones will also enter the ﬁrst meet of the year healthy. “I think most everyone is gonna compete whether attached or unattached,” Ihmels said. “We don’t have anyone really banged up yet so that’s good. And it’ll be a good competitive meet for us and let us know where we’re out and how to move forward from here. The Iowa State Open will have more than 1,500 athletes competing from schools across the Midwest. Among the competing schools are: MissouriKansas City, NIACC, Iowa Central CC, Minnesota State-Mankato, Buena Vista, Creighton, Oklahoma Baptist, Oklahoma Christian, St. Cloud State, Langston, and Kansas Wesleyan. The event is the ﬁrst of four meets Iowa State will host at Lied Recreation Center this season.

Volleyball player set to high jump for Cyclones By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com ISU coach Corey Ihmels said Wednesday that freshman Hannah Willms, a member of the ISU volleyball team, will be competing for the track and ﬁeld team during the indoor season. “We’re excited that volleyball is going to let us have her here for a little indoors,” Ihmels said. The Dike-New Hartford graduate was named both the Iowa high school girl’s volleyball and track and ﬁeld athlete of the year by Gatorade as a senior. Wilms won 14 Iowa high school state titles in a variety of events. Four of the titles came in both the 200- and 400-meter dashes and three apiece in the high jump and sprint medley relay. It was the high jump in high school that helped her get recognized at the national level when, at the 2010 Drake Relays, Willms jumped 6-1 in the high jump. Not only was the 6-foot1-inch mark a Drake Relays

record but it also gave her the highest mark among all high school jumpers across the country. “She’s obviously somebody that had a tremendous high school career and somebody that can help the jumpers even more,” Ihmels said. Willms is expected to compete in the high jump at this weekend’s ISU Open to be held on Friday and Saturday at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center. “I know she’s excited to get out here and jump to see what she can do.” Ihmels said.

ISU women prepare for spring season Cyclones change assistant coach midseason By Dan.Martin iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s tennis team is back on the courts this weekend as they kick off the spring season against Arizona State Friday, then Mesa Community College Saturday. A lot has happened in the almost three months since the team competed in the Western Michigan Invitational to end the fall season. Assistant coach Chris Williams left the team in December to take an assistant coaching job with the Air Force Academy’s tennis team. The Cyclones recently brought in Rodrigo Puebla as the new assistant coach. The midseason timing of the change is tough, but coach Armando Espinosa and the players are excited to now we working with Puebla. “Obviously it’s tough to replace Chris, he was a very intricate part of the team,” Espinosa said. “I’ve known Rodrigo for a long time now, he was a head coach at the University of North Florida, he’s gonna bring a lot of experience and knowledge to the team. We are very excited and

very happy to have him.

fore the spring season opener against Arizona State. It is a match Espinosa and the team say they are excited for. “We’ve been practicing two hours and conditioning one hour a day since we got back from break,” Cacciuttolo said.

“I am very excited to start the season. I like to play and try to win.” Espinosa said No. 20 Arizona State is a tough opponent, and will test the players and coaches. “It’s going to be very very

difficult,” Espinosa said. “They are a great team and are very well coached. It will be good for us to see exactly where we are against one of the nation’s best teams out there. So we’ll see how we can fare out with them, we view as a chance to

see where we are at.” The team leaves at 5 a.m. Thursday Tempe, Ariz. where the matches will begin 4:30 p.m. on Friday. The team will also play Mesa Community College on Saturday starting at 5 p.m.

By Nate.Ryan iowastatedaily.com With winter break and tough physical training behind them, the ISU swimming Sorenson and diving team is back in action this weekend. The Cyclones head to Columbia, Mo. to take Warrick on the No. 25 Missouri Tigers. Saturday will not be the ﬁrst time this season Iowa State has competed with a ranked opponent. The team’s ﬁrst dual meet sent it to Minnesota where the Gophers defeated Iowa State 157-129. After Minnesota, Cyclone coach Duane Sorenson said the team was not mentally focused. “If you’re going to compete with the elite teams in the country, you’ve got to be prepared mentally,” Sorenson said. The team has worked hard to make sure they come into the pool prepared this time around. “We haven’t competed in an official meet in such a long time,” Sorenson said. “They’re excited to go down there to race and compete.” Sorenson said in Minnesota, the team got too out of control and nervous and that it affected their performance. “Being excited is one thing, but being under control and excited is the other thing we’re trying to work on,” Sorenson said. Mentality is key for every athlete. Just like every sport, the team can’t be thinking about their fundamentals too much.

working on,” Warrick said. “Stepping on the board and not, no thought, but almost close to that.” Competing with another school in the Big 12 is a key time for many other sports,

but is it the same for swimming and diving? It might just be more mental than anything else. “When it’s a Big 12 school I think it does mean a little bit more,” Warrick said.

“We call that paralysis by analysis,” Sorenson said. “They’re thinking too much rather than just reacting. I think we’ll be much more prepared. What we did at Northwestern and how we swam against Iowa, we really

overcame that.” It is no different at the diving end of the pool. “I think [mentality] is 90 percent of it,” said diving coach Jeff Warrick. Warrick said his divers are working on doing their think-

Presented by Ames247.com By Vincent Geerts Ames247 Writer “I love watching the Irene Ryan final rounds because it is some of the best acting you will see in your college career,” said Michael Heath. Heath, senior in performing arts, spent time volunteering as a workshop coordinator for the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, which celebrates and awards all aspects of theater imaginable. This year, region 5 of the KCACTF is being hosted by Iowa State. Students and faculty from universities and colleges all over Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota have congregated in Ames for Festival 43. Competitions in acting, scenery, lights, sound, costumes, props, technical direction, stage management and more have filled Scheman throughout the week. Several ISU students were nominated for entry into the Irene Ryan Scholarship competition. Brad Dell, Festival 43 coordinator and assistant professor of theater, said it was “a centerpiece of the festival.” Close to 300 students from all over region 5 auditioned in the preliminary rounds of the Irene Ryan competition Monday. On Wednesday, their numbers were reduced to only 64 for the semi-finals. Friday, the final 16 will each have six minutes to perform two scenes, before ending in a monologue or song. The two chosen winners will then have the privilege of going to nationals at the Kennedy Center, Washington D.C. Although no ISU students made it to the semi-finals this year, they are not discouraged. “We didn’t advance to the semi-finals, but just participating is an honor,” said Brittny Rebhuhn, junior in performing arts. Actors receiving a nomination for the scholarship have distinguished themselves in a theater production of their respective educational

institution and were noticed for their work by a regional respondent for the festival, typically staff of another involved university. “I’m proud of the work we’ve done and stand by it,” Rebhuhn said. The Department of Theatre showed its

strength in another way. Dell said hosting the KCACTF this year shows just how strong the theater program is. Majors and non-majors volunteered to help host the festival, which provides more than just some competition. The festival brings in professionals from the

industry to give workshop lessons over all aspects of theater and help students improve their abilities. It also invites productions from region 5 universities to be performed on local stages. For more information on Irene Ryan and other KCACTF events, visit: www.kcactf5.org.

KURE Fest returns to Maintenance Shop By Dylan Boyle Ames247 Writer After a leave of absence since 2006, KURE Fest is back this Saturday with promoters hoping to fill the Maintenance Shop to capacity during the free local show. The student-run alternative radio station has a long history of promoting local music on the airwaves and is keeping with tradition by bringing in six local acts to the Maintenance Shop at 8 p.m. Saturday. Darren Hushak, senior in electrical engineering and KURE general manager, said the station wants to start expanding its audience more and help to sponsor more local performances. He said KURE Fest will definitely be back next year as well. The six acts booked for Saturday

— ranging from acoustic folk songwriters to instrumental post-rock — are sure to draw a diverse crowd. Hushak said KURE will be giving away VIP tickets on the station’s Facebook page that guarantee fans a spot in the M-Shop for the free show, as well as giving away VIP tickets from 10 p.m. to midnight on Friday over the airwaves. Jacob Tyler Wolfgang Acoustic singer-songwriter Jacob Tyler Wolfgang will open the show Saturday, bringing a folky Iron and Wine sound to the stage. Wolfgang recently finished recording an album in Des Moines. Canby Known for his time playing drums with The Envy Corps, Scott

Yoshimura brings his acoustic side project Canby back to Ames. Mumford’s The theatrical gypsy-punk kings of Ames underground music never disappoint in a live setting, bringing heavy brass and songwriting that could only come from Iowa. Nuclear Rodeo Fresh off the release of their album “Revenge,” Nuclear Rodeo will hit the stage bringing the staple Ames power-pop sound. The Autumn Project Instrumental act The Autumn Project, from Des Moines, may be a “wild card” among the other Ames bands, Hushak said, but won’t disappoint with their “wall of sound” post-

Alexander Recording Kompany to host shows By Dylan Boyle iowastatedaily.com The Alexander Recording Kompany will host its first in-studio show this Friday, hosting Ames jam band The Sun Company to perform and record a live album the same night. Dennis Haislip, owner of The ARK, said Friday will be “the beta test” and hopes all goes well so the studio can start hosting bands to perform about once a month at the all-ages studio. Haislip said essentially bands will come to the studio, do a sound check before fans arrive then do a live recording. After the show, he’ll take the songs and mix them and give them to the band a few days later to sell.

It’s a way to help promote Ames bands and The ARK, Haislip said, at a relatively low cost. Bands who play The ARK won’t have to pay the studio, since the cover charge of $5 at the door will go to paying for studio time. Haislip said he is talking with other great local live acts like The Workshy and The Go Easy to continue the “Ames City Limits” series in the next few months. Mike Givens, keyboardist and vocalist for The Sun Company, said the band will be playing mostly new songs for the live recording, but some older songs from their first record, which they recorded at The ARK as well.
