Ban on women in combat to be lifted New plans would alter policy that’s been in place since ‘94 By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is planning to lift a ban on women serving in combat. Women have not been allowed to serve in combat roles since the placement of the Combat
Exclusion Policy in 1994, which stated that “women shall be excluded from assignment to units below the brigade level whose primary mission is to engage in direct combat on the ground.” Those assignments included Infantry, Special Forces and the Armor. Panetta is expected to make the announcement on Thursday. “There really isn’t a frontline anymore,” said Charles Dobbs, an ISU professor of history who teaches a class on military history. “The front-
line is everywhere. Combat takes place just about anywhere.” Dobbs explained that women in military roles in the past have not been associated with battle fronts. The armed forces have until May to present their plans on implementation. However, they will have until January 2016 to fully implement any new rules. “There will be some jobs not open to women

ISU Police combats violent incidents By Eric.Debner @iowastatedaily.com Active shooter situations continue to emerge in schools across the nation. According to a recent ABC report from Houston, Texas, active shooters descended upon five schools in states California, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri and Texas within the month after the Newtown tragedy. Active shooter situations may appear to be random and unpredictable, but schools can take effective countermeasures to prevent such events from occurring. ISU students can do their part in preventing violent incidents from happening in their community. ISU Police offers Violent Incident
Sign up for Response Training ■■ Violent Incident Response Training is available to anyone and everyone. ■■ Group sign-up is a requirement, and groups as small as four to as large as 100 can participate. ■■ The regular Violent Incident Response Training curriculum takes about 2 ½ hours to complete. ■■ The training session consists of
video, lecture, demonstration, participation and discussion on a multitude of violent incident scenarios. ■■ The program is held between the hours of 8 a.m. and midnight. ■■ Any individuals interested in the training can contact Lieutenant Florer via phone: 515-294-4428 or email: florer@ iastate.edu.
Response Training, which equips participants with a number of tools on how to identify, report and respond to violent incidents. “The purpose of [Violent Incident Response Training] is to let people know what their op-
tions are when confronted with any violent situation,” said Elliot Florer, ISU police lieutenant of public safety and director of Violent Incident Response Training. Training consists of video, lecture, demonstration, participation
and discussion on violent incident scenarios to equip participants with the tools necessary for recognizing and reporting concerning behavior. It also gives them options for response in an active shooter situation. “[Violent Incident Response Training] is not one-size fits all, but the [program offers] a flexible set of principles that people can choose [from],” Florer said. In past active shooter incidents many people thought they could only hide and lock down the facility, Florer said. In situations such as Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech and Columbine, the classroom doors were locked. Locks can be defeated and when lockdown fails Florer said victims must consider other options such

Obama hopes to change 2nd term trend By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com The second term of President Barack Obama’s presidency began privately in a Sunday inauguration ceremony and publicly Monday with his chilly inauguration on the steps of Capitol Hill. Historically, presidents have had a harder time pushing through legislation in their second term due to a loss of political capital, changes in party control of Congress and a less enthused public. But after listening to his inauguration speech, it is thought that Obama wants to reverse this trend with a commitment to a variety of issues in his second term. “[He will be] making sure Obamacare is implemented and protected from abolition or major changes by Republicans,” said Steffen Schmidt, professor of political science. “Second, Obama will push for more revenue through taxes and fees.” Since its passage in Congress in 2010, “Obamacare,” which mandates health insurance for all Americans, has been the target of conservative attacks and was arguably the catalyst which propelled Republicans to control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 elections. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld this portion of the law last summer and it looks as if it will be fully implemented in Obama’s second term. Obama will look to oversee the final touches on his signature legislation
piece from his first term. “Third, he plans at least some gun reforms,” Schmidt said. David Peterson, professor of political science, also spoke about gun reform but stressed that it will be very difficult for Obama to push through certain reforms because of the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. “It is pretty clear Obama will be pushing gun control,” Peterson said. “It wasn’t his plan on election night, but it has been added to his agenda since Newtown. … But gun control won’t go anywhere because it’s not as popular as other issues.” Peterson went on to say that any Republican lawmaker who votes for new gun restrictions may be subject to primary challenges for their seat because they will be seen as not conservative enough. One issue which Peterson said will be tackled by both parties is immigration. Immigration reform has been an issue for decades, but after the recent elections, in which Obama brought in roughly 70 percent of the Latino vote, Republicans will be a bit softer than they have in the past. “There will be real, long-term challenges to the GOP if they continue to block immigration reform,” Peterson said. “That is why they are now sympathetic to the issue.” Schmidt also suggested that immigration reform will be seriously addressed in the next four years. “I know for a fact that Obama will push for a series of steps to provide a

path to legalization and maybe even citizenship for 11 million or so people who are in the [United States] illegally,” Schmidt said. The next four years will confirm whether or not Obama, and by extension Congress, will follow through on several of these issues. Peterson also remarked that much of the success of tackling some of these issues will rest on what is known as the “Hastert Rule.” This unwritten rule in the House of Representatives, which is named
after former Speaker of the House and Republican Congressman Dennis Hastert, is a policy by which House speakers will not bring legislation to the floor unless it has a majority of the majority of the ruling party in support of it. In today’s political climate, the majority of House Republicans will have to support an issue in order for it to be brought to a vote in the House. This rule was broken recently when a group of moderate Republicans sided with Democrats
to get past the “fiscal cliff” last December. “The fundamental question is how the GOP is going to decide to behave. For a long time, they operated on the Hastert Rule, but they’ve broken it a few times. If they allow this rule to slip, it will allow moderate members to join the Democrats,” Peterson said. “So if Boehner [the current Speaker of the House] doesn’t enforce the Hastert rule, we might actually get something done.”

Ordering Online is as easy as changing yOur majOr…again. Photo: Lindsay Kayser/Iowa State Daily Olivia Weber, junior in interdisciplinary studies, is the president of an ASL club. The club is currently being evaluated by the Student Organization Recognition Board.
New student club pursues becoming officially recognized By Jared.Raney @iowastatedaily.com On Wednesday in Pearson Hall, one ISU club will meet very quietly. In fact, no one will speak at all. The club is the American Sign Language Club. “Through our club, we are trying to expose people to American Sign Language through real-life experiences,” said Olivia Weber, junior in interdisciplinary studies and president of the club. The American Sign Language Club is currently being evaluated by the Student Organization Recognition Board to become an official university-recognized student club. Jonathan Webb, lecturer of American Sign Language and adviser for the club, said there are only about half a dozen deaf students on campus. “Being a hard-of-hearing individual in a college setting is a unique experience for me and for those with whom I interact,” Weber said. “Under the best circumstances, HOH [hard-of-hearing] people need to concentrate harder to hear what is being said.” Weber said in a classroom atmosphere it becomes more difficult, at times impossible, to understand what is happening. “Lip reading comes in handy, but again, the speaker must face me at all times,” Weber said. “It took several weeks and a lot of trial and error before we found the accommodations that worked for my hearing loss.” American Sign Language courses have only recently become available at Iowa State, though so far there is no major program, or even the option of a minor in the language that is so important to Deaf culture. “This process has actually been talked about for a couple
of years,” Webb said. “There was a need for an ASL club, but they didn’t necessarily have a way to make that happen.” At this point, the club has around 20 potential members, most of whom are neither deaf nor hard-of-hearing. “Hearing club members will find it enormously helpful to sign to someone who is HOH or deaf. It’s different than signing to someone who can hear, because we can offer another perspective,” Weber said. “If you’re a Spanish major, you go to a Spanish-speaking country to perfect your Spanish abilities. In the same way, practicing ASL with others who have experience signing helps perfect your signing.” As well as aiming to give hearing individuals a chance to develop their signing, the club is also an outlet for Deaf culture — a chance for people who were raised in a hearing society to learn about and better understand Deaf culture. “When most people think of a deaf person, they usually think about being audiologically deaf,” Weber said. “Many people don’t realize that there is a Deaf culture, but being deaf doesn’t make you Deaf.” Weber was not raised in a Deaf culture and enjoys being involved in the unique community the club offers. “I wish I’d been exposed to signing sooner, because it introduced me to a community that understood the same challenges. It was empowering,” Weber said. “I was really excited to learn that Dr. Webb ... was interested in forming an ASL club.” The Student Organization Recognition Board met last week to discuss the inception of the club as an official university organization. This is the last step in the process and the club is eagerly awaiting word of the decision.

in the position to carry out its implementation. Panetta, who has been the Secretary of Defense since 2011, is expected to leave his position sometime in February. President Barack Obama nominated Chuck Hagel for the position Jan. 7. The U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Coast
>>PETITION.p1 racy can be noisy and controversial. And that’s a good thing,” said Jon Carson, director of the Office of Public Engagement, in the secession response post. A petition last November asked the government to begin constructing a Death Star. It received more than 34,000 signatures in 30 days, again forcing the White House to respond in a light-hearted way. “The administration does not support blowing up planets,” wrote Paul Shawcross, Chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget. The petition page will most likely stick around, as it allows “the president and the White House to get a sense of what people are thinking and what interests them,” said David Peterson, professor of political science. “Not surprisingly, because it’s on the internet, it’s gotten kind of silly at times,” Peterson said. When the “We the People” page started in Sept. 2011, only 5,000 signatures were required within 30 days to force a response. This was changed to 25,000 less than a month later. Use of the site has doubled in the last two months of 2012, dropping the average time to

reach the 25,000 threshold from 18 to nine days, according to White House reports. Over 9.2 million people have signed a petition. This may have contributed to the recent change to 100,000 signatures. While the silly petitions garner attention, they are the minority. “I don’t think the White House is ignoring the real [petitions] in favor of the silly ones,” Peterson said. “Any politician or political operation worth its salt is going to keep an eye on these things.” Even though the signature requirement has been raised, Peterson believes the page will continue to be used. “Part of the reason they’re keeping it is because it’s none binding or official. The president doesn’t have to respond to any of these,” Peterson said. “On some level, they are a nice mechanism to allow grassroots folks to actually get their opinion heard.” Current petitions include legally recognizing the Westboro Baptist Church as a hate group, which has over 328,000 signatures, as well as recounting the election results and repealing Obamacare, which both have more than 50,000 signatures.

>>INCIDENT.p1 as confronting the shooter. The training gives participants options that they can share with fellow co-workers, faculty, staff and students to conduct an analysis of their workplace environment and then formulate plans of action in preparation for an active shooter situation. Florer said the exercises also help participants realize that they are often the first responders in active shooter situations “when seconds count, and the police are minutes away.” As first responders, victims in active shooter situations must be prepared to deal with their own injuries and formulate a plan of action while police disarm threats, Florer said. “Our first and primary goal upon arriving at the scene is to stop the threat and prevent more people from being killed,” Florer said. Florer said investigations after violent incidents such as school shootings often reveal individuals who had pertinent information leading up to the event. The bystanders either felt uncomfortable sharing this information, or they did not know how to report it. Fear and misconception often deter people from calling the police. People often fear that the police department’s only option is to arrest people, Florer said. But local law enforcement agencies offer more than just an officer on the scene.

Such a caring and compassionate environment helps break down the sense of anonymity. Students can help promote an open and safer environment on campus by knowing how to recognize, report, and respond to violent situations. Be it universities, elementary schools, gas stations or places of worship, active shooter situations are not limited to a given area. These situations

Death Star petition airs poor politics Frivolous distractions from public matters constantly intrude upon the resources of American leaders in government positions. The most recent example to catch measurable attention was the rejection of a petition that suggested the United States build a “Star Wars”-style Death Star. On the “We the People” website for petitions, which the White House established, there are many petitions: “Repeal New York States — NY SAFE ACT Gun Control is not the answer, education is!” “Look into state constitutions banning atheists from holding public office.” “Recognize International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19).” Such nonsense easily could be prevented through even one iota of civic education. If the Constitution were still a widely read document, if the history of the American Revolution and the early republic had not been reduced to trite one-liners or platitudes, then perhaps the White House would not have to deal with such wastes of time as some of the gems mentioned above. Unfortunately, the White House views “We the People” as “Your voice in our government.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. American citizens’ voices in the federal government are their representatives, elected every second year. Those representatives live in the same districts as their voters and make laws in Congress that affect themselves (in theory) as much as they affect their constituents. Or, better yet, American citizens’ voices in the federal government are themselves. They express those voices any time they mingle with one another and debate the issues that they have in common, heckle candidates for office (as opposed to putting their hands up and waving signs at mass rallies), and educate themselves by reading the news from a variety of perspectives to form their own opinions. It should be noted that the “We the People” site is — by its own admission — a place where people can petition the executive branch, not their true representatives. At the top of the page, before the list of active petitions, it states: “We petition the Obama Administration to:” do this, that and the other thing. Sadly, such an opportunity makes two problems even worse. First, making the Obama administration into an advocate, rather than the chief executive of the U.S. government, distracts his administration from dealing with the issues he outlined in, say, his second inaugural address. Instead of working with Congress to improve the efficiency of the government’s workings and to bring all the data the executive branch holds to Congress’ attention so that they can enact laws that benefit the whole country, the White House becomes an agent of populism, giving attention to the democratic mob. There is little constitutional point to making him so, since he cannot introduce legislation into Congress. Second, establishing the White House as the recipient and disseminator of petitions allows members of Congress — the people who, in any representative government, not just that established by the Constitution, are the people’s advocates — to concentrate on what the members of their party want, rather than on what everyone from their constituency wants. At the end of the day, the power to redress this grievance lies with two entities: the White House, and individual Americans. Indeed, the White House seems to have made some effort to curtail the proliferation of distracting petitions, by raising the number of signatures a digital petition must garner before it must respond. As for the American people, a good way to make sure a petition is a legitimate idea is to interact with actual people and get to them to actually sign a paper petition.

Climate change
is real
Courtesy photo Climate change has been a widely debated issue for many years, but new statistics may shift your stance. “According to the National Academy of Science, 97 percent of experienced and active climatologists agree that climate change is happening and is man-made.”
W
ith all of the recent focus on firearm rights, economic cliffs and, for those of us here in Ames, the return of wintery weather, one important issue seems all but forgotten: climate change. Whether you believe global warming to be a liberal media conspiracy, or you think that humans really are causing an unprecedented change in climate, you have almost certainly heard about the issue. Unfortunately, we all too often hear things that confuse our understanding of the issue more than they clarify it. One example of such a confusing statement is that made by Fred Singer, a distinguished physicist, that global temperatures are not rising. Singer claims that “the current [global surface temperature] trend over the past decade has been approximately zero.” Singer and some of his associates have claimed that global temperatures have actually decreased in every ten-year period for the last seventy years, which is about how long we have been accurately measuring Earth’s surface temperature. This claim has been made famous by Skeptical Science, a website dedicated to debunking the “science” of climate change deniers. According to the data (which is an amalgamation of observations from NASA’s Goddard Institute of Space Science, the
responsibility as scientists to present good science has huge ramifications for the rest of the world. It is inherently the responsibility of members of any field of study to provide information to the rest of us when it is needed. Just as we trust mechanics to truthfully tell us what is wrong with our cars and as we trust lawyers to truthfully tell us the law, we are expected to trust scientists to tell us about science. Any other stance would be silly. To not trust the opinion or statement of someone far more informed than yourself is not shrewd; it is delusional. When members of specific groups that are given our trust abuse it, such as a mechanic falsifying the cost of parts, we are ultimately at a loss. In climate change, when scientists present their findings, the vast majority of people have no possible way to effectively check their work. It is up to others in their field to do this, a practice known as peer review. Through this peer review, scientists who are focused on climate can come to a consensus as to what the overall conclusion of their collective work is. That consensus has apparently been reached. According to the National Academy of Science, 97 percent of experienced and active climatologists agree that climate change is happening and is man-made.
By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com National Climate Data Center and a joint global surface temperature record called HadCRUT4), what skeptics have said is pretty much true. During consecutive roughly 10-year periods, the average global surface temperature has decreased. What the data also shows is a marked increase during the whole seventy years of observation. Skeptical Science has dubbed this “going down the up escalator.” This apparent paradox is created when pieces of a whole data set are examined separately so that the larger picture is disregarded. Such a cheap trick can be easily identified and countered by an experienced scientist or by anyone familiar enough with the information being presented. A problem arises, however, when average people are presented with misleading information masquerading as science. Singer, as well as a host of other champions of climate change skepticism have very real scientific credentials that, at first glance, mark their conclusions as reputable. Their decision to forego their
Junkscience.com disputes this report, claiming that all this means is that 97 percent of climatologists are paid by the government or climate change scare groups. Steve Milloy, a writer for junkscience. com, succinctly says, “If you can read a graph, then you have all the tools necessary to decide the climate controversy for yourself.” Steve is right. Literacy and spatial understanding really are the building blocks of climatology. Following Milloy’s logic, if you have a mirror and a power drill, voila! You can be your own dentist. What Milloy leaves out is the painstaking years of study and observation that allow for true understanding of both material and study design as well as the ability to recognize further courses of inquiry. For some, man-made climate change is just another part of the giant conspiracy aimed at wasting our taxes. For others who are interested in looking past the confusing and conflicting statements made by ‘the experts,’ a 97 percent agreement among those educated and active in the field is probably a good reason to start believing in manmade climate change.

Keep book industry afloat A
s wonderful as our technology-ruled world is, the Internet and digital age are slowly suffocating a number of industries. Musical artists and their record companies have found it necessary to locate new avenues for their products, as have all those involved in the film and television business. Authors and publication companies have not escaped this fate either, although the literature business seems to be the most lacking in profitable solutions. Now that it is easy to purchase (or pirate) all such products online in a digital format, these and other industries have struggled to keep their heads above water. Certain elements of the music industry are on their last leg. Cramped aisles filled with thousands of CDs in stores such as Best Buy are soon to be a thing of the past. They have been replaced with well-spaced arrays of the latest Apple, Samsung or Asus device, each accompanied by a suave employee who can’t wait to tell you how many albums, movies and books the tablet in question can hold. Despite the widespread online piracy of music, artists still get quite a bit of income through radio royalties, tours and other promotions. In addition, sites such as Pandora and Spotify have stemmed the flow of illegally downloaded tunes, but it cannot be denied that purchasing physical copies of music is on the way out the door. In the film industry, the plight of piracy is similar but the retaliation has been different in some aspects. Like Spotify, Netflix allows consumers to enjoy the industry’s product without having to purchase anything other than a monthly subscription. However, the sale of physical movie discs has been revitalized through a couple of methods. Firstly, the relatively new technology of Blu-ray discs encourages fans to purchase their movies in the most cutting-edge of forms. In addition, Blu-ray movies sold in stores often take on a three-version format, with a Blu-ray, DVD and digital copy all available for one purchase price. Books and other literature have suffered in the same way. Electronic devices such as Amazon’s Kindle and Barnes and Noble’s Nook

By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com have made books available to consumers in a more convenient, sleek form. However, replacing physical volumes with digital has made it so even literature can be easily and illegally downloaded off the internet. Though many readers are content to have their favorites stored in one small tablet, many book lovers eschew Nooks and Kindles and devotedly continue to buy novels in stores. Since the beginning of the digital and internet age, the public has voiced concern about the fate of magazines, books, newspapers and other publications. The transition to digital media damaged the job market for those who worked in the industry. However, it wasn’t until the popular bookstore Borders announced bankruptcy in early 2011 that the literatureloving community became truly worried. Many felt apprehension for Barnes and Noble and Books-a-Million, not to mention the thousands of petite and charming bookstores that can be found in any city worth its salt. In this way, the dilemma of the literary publication industry is similar to that of the music industry in that the purchase of their physical products is falling steadily. A possible solution seems evident when looking at what the film industry has done to
preserve their market. Why can’t books be sold with multiple formats incorporated just as Blu-ray discs are? If books in Barnes and Noble or on Amazon were sold with a digital copy included, it would help promote the publishing industry in at least two ways. If consumers could get the physical copy and the digital copy without having to pay for both, more Kindle and Nook users would be willing to buy actual books, as they would also automatically get it on their electronic devices. For book lovers who do not own a reading tablet, this solution might encourage them to purchase one. Being able to have beloved and tangible forms of favorite books as well as convenient digital versions would inspire consumers to begin purchasing books once more. The current situation for literary publications may seem desperate, but it can be salvaged at least in part with a bit of inventiveness and compromise on the part of the businesses. Just as Blu-rays helped buoy the film industry when the digital age seemed to be taking over, this innovation could help save the book business, which if otherwise left on its own, may drown.

Iowa State lost 66-51, despite what looked like a promising game. The Cyclones went point for point with the Lady Bears in the second half of the game, scoring 35 points each.
Iowa State topples to Baylor Cyclones fail to recover after early game deficit By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com It was a slightly different story and a different venue for the Cyclones Wednesday night, but a similar outcome. Unable to establish an offense in the first half, the Cyclones could not recover from an early deficit. In a 66-51 defeat, the Cyclones (13-4, 4-3 Big 12) hung with the No. 1 team in the country for the first few minutes of the game. What looked like a promising game, quickly went south.
As sound as the Lady Bears (17-1, 7-0 Big 12) were on offense, the threat didn’t come from superstar Brittney Griner’s offensive abilities alone. Baylor also picked up 12 points from point guard Odyssey Sims and another 11 from Alexis Prince. “When any team gets away, it’s hard to catch back up,” said forward Brynn Williamson. “If you took away certain things Baylor did well, the game would be completely different. The little things we don’t usually do, that we did tonight, probably cost us the game.” Baylor’s impenetrable defense held Iowa State to just 36 percent from the floor, significantly lower than the season’s average of 42 percent.
However, the Cyclones went point for point with the Lady Bears in the second half, scoring 35 points a piece. But a 25 point deficit in the first half was too much for Iowa State to recover from. The Lady Bears did everything to make the Cyclones pay. But with just five turnovers in the second half, Iowa State was able to make up a chunk of their early deficit. Baylor’s Griner led the Lady Bears to an early lead, coming out of the game with seven minutes left with 22 points and eight rebounds. Less than pleased with her performance, Griner said none the less her team pulled through in then end. “Missing easy shots [and] not finishing strong,” Griner said about her
disappointment. “I feel like I didn’t do what I had to do to help out my team.” Even though the Lady Bear’s secured a 15-point victory head coach Kim Mulkey said the last four minutes were tough to watch. “The disappointing thing about my team tonight was the last three minutes and 50 seconds,” said Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey. “It was a 26-point game and it’s going to look like a 15-point game when I cleared my bench.” From here, the Cyclones will finish out the month of January with a couple of road games. “Coach said our focus needs to be January right now,” Prins said. “And it’s almost over, but we have two huge games to finish out [the month].”
Wrestling
Change in mindset spurs Moreno to success Redshirt sophomore gains new outlook for season By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com One year: That’s all it took for Michael Moreno to go from being an afterthought in the ISU wrestling room to being one of the team’s most capable wrestlers. Struggle was a team-wide occurrence in 201112, a season during which the Cyclones posted a 4-13 dual record, the fewest amount of wins for the program since the 1950s. Only one wrestler, heavyweight Matt Gibson, finished last season with an individual conference title. Moreno was certainly no exception to the team’s struggles last season. After being redshirted in 201011, he went 4-13 last season as a redshirt freshman while battling a concussion, a high-ankle sprain and a handful of mental barriers. “I’ll be the first to tell you that I was in a really weird place last year,” Moreno said. “The losses started piling up and before I knew it, I was in this mental hole — almost depression — and it was really difficult to pull myself out of it. “Even bright spots wouldn’t really do it. I’d enjoy a victory, then it’d be right back to where I was. I wasn’t really taking anything positive away from it. School suffered and when it was all said and done, after that semester I was in a terrible, terrible place.” It was from this place that Moreno underwent a complete mental shift. He got together with those closest to him — including his father, uncles and coaches — to start breaking down his mentality and come to the realization that his mindset needed to be altered. Through embracing his struggles and realizing that everyone goes through similar issues, Moreno has been able to build upon his past experiences and improve his performance drastically since last season . “I sat with him on the bus the other day, and I said, ‘Mike, you’ve come a long way in a short period of time,’” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “’Can you believe the year we had last year and where we’re at now?’ and he just kind of looks at me, shakes his head and says, ‘Coach, I know. I was in a different place.’” That different place is history now. This season, Moreno is 17-5 and currently ranked No. 19 at 165 pounds by Intermat. While not much has changed for him in terms of physical skill and strength, confidence and focus

have allowed Moreno to reach this point. “I’m mentally ready every match,” Moreno said. “I know that I’m better than this guy. Whether I end up winning or losing, it doesn’t matter, because before the match I Moreno know I’m going to beat them.” Moreno’s strong family connection to Iowa State has also served him well. His father, Mike, is a former ISU All-American and coached him during his time at Urbandale High School. Coaches and teammates are constantly reminding Moreno that he’s a lot better than his dad was, partially as a joke and partially as a motivator. Moreno’s expectations are to be an All-American before his dad was, Jackson said. Moreno’s younger brother, Gabriel, is a freshman on the Cyclone roster this season, which also provides motivation in the wrestling room. “It’s huge; family is everything,” said ISU assistant coach Travis Paulson, who wrestled alongside his twin brother, Trent, during his time as a Cyclone. “He knows what you’re capable of and won’t accept anything less. [Gabe’s] a stud and he’s going to be re-

ally good, so I think Mike sees that and he wants to help pave the path.” Paulson has done a lot of work with Moreno and has helped him to get to where he is at this season. He has instilled a mantra of success into Moreno’s head that he repeats before each and every match. “’Too big, too fast, too strong,’” Moreno said. “It’s just something that you have to tell yourself. That’s how he’s helped me, tells me to repeat that to myself. I go into every match believing I’m too big, too fast and I’m too strong.”

Track and field
Runners prepare for year’s 2nd meet By Isaac.Hunt @iowastatedaily.com Coach Corey Ihmels and his track and field team of more than 50 men will compete in the second meet of the year this weekend at the Bill Bergan Invitational in Ames. With one meet behind it, the team won’t have trouble staying motivated with the Big 12 Conference meet less than a month away. With so much going on and so many athletes doing different things under one roof, Ihmels gives some insight to what his athletes are thinking. “The athletes that came out and performed this weekend, you have your practices and the meets take care of themselves,” Ihmels said Saturday. “Those that didn’t run well, they have another opportunity.” The competition this week is heating up with some Big Ten teams as well as the Big 12. Ihmels said each week gets more challenging than the last with the teams coming in. “The first couple weeks are going to be rough,” said assistant coach Pete Herber. “But our goal is to be ready to go by the time we get to the [Iowa State] Classic.” With another rung up the ladder this weekend, the ISU men are that much closer to reaching their goals. “This weekend is to build for conference,” said thrower Henry Kelley. “Try to set a positive pattern for five from now.” Prior to the Big 12

Team looks forward to Big 12 By Mark.Specht @iowastatedaily.com At this point in the season, the ISU women’s track and field team is walking a tightrope between competing in the present and training for the future. The Bill Bergan Invitational this week will test that balance. Iowa State will play host to nine competitive teams at the invitational with Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin among them. “All the teams that are coming are pretty well-rounded,” said coach Corey Ihmels. “I think there also [is] going to be certain events where certain teams are going to be a little bit better than other teams and I think that makes for a really good meet.” Although the team is preparing for the Big 12 Championships in late February, it will still try to be as competitive as possible in meets like the Bill Bergan Invitational. Assistant coach Nate Wiens said the women short-distance runners will be using this weeks race as a “stepping stone” for future events. “We will be racing still with a little bit of focus towards [training], I think every

school does that,” Wiens said. For the women throwers, assistant coach Grant Wall said the field of opposing schools at the Bergan will be similar to what they will face at the Big 12 Championships, which will impact their approach. “We want to get up for this meet just [because] it’s such good competition and it’s at home as always, but we have to take into consideration the bigger picture of the conference meet and our national qualifiers doing well at the NCAA meet,”

Wall said. The long–distance women will have a similar approach for training as the rest of the team. “It’s a scored meet, which is fun [because] place means something, but we’re not going to kill it and try to score a bunch of points,” Ihmels said. “We’re going to use this meet to get ready for the next couple of weeks.” The Bill Bergan Invitational will begin at 1 p.m. Thursday at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center.

Drumline grooves to music By CJ.Eilers @iowastatedaily.com
With auditions out of the way, the winter drumline, also known as Groove, is preparing for their semester ahead. Grand Rhythmic Orchestra and Outstanding Visual Ensemble (Groove) has been a student organization since the mid ‘90s and features a mix of fall drumline and new members. The group consists of 28 members who auditioned earlier this semester and includes five bass drums, nine snares, five tenors and nine cymbals. Groove also has 10 non-audition pit musicians. In addition to being funded by the Government of the Student Body, the members also must pay dues for the instruments. Groove plays a variety of events in the community. Besides their final live show in Music Hall, Groove also performs for Dance Marathon, Relay for Life, Men’s and Women’s Basketball games and the annual Veishea parade. “Being in Groove means you love what percussion you play,” said Michael Flannery, the treasurer for Groove. “The amount of music we play is manageable, but physically hard to play.” All music — minus cadences — is written by the students of Groove. According to Flannery, this provides a unique opportunity for students. “It gives students the chance to have their music played when they normally wouldn’t have the chance,” Flannery said. Every Monday, the ensemble members meet for a three-hour practice to work on their music together. In addition, each section of the group meets individually for an additional two-hour practice each week. Jameson Klavins, president of Groove, enjoys being a part of the ensemble because he gets to be around people with the same passion. “It’s just getting to know people over the semester and having fun playing together,” Klavins said. The audition process starts with two, one-hour clinics. Participants play on whatever instrument they wish to, but can also switch if they desire. Sections break off and determine who makes the cut depending on “if people can be teachable,” as Flannery explained. Klavins also looks for certain qualities in the auditionees. “It’s about the technique they play and familiarity with the music and cadences,” Klavins said. Past members of the ensemble must re-audition for a spot. For those who do not make it, the Groove front ensemble, or pit, is a non-audition group that is open to them. To learn more about more about Groove, go to their page on the Department of Music website.

Visit new exhibits at campus museums By Bri Adams Ames247 writer
While there are several museums on campus, a few are getting ready to release new exhibits for the spring semester. Not only are the exhibits on campus free, although each suggest a donation of $3, but they’re also a way to experience the works of local artists.
Pioneer Room, Memorial Union With a new year and new semester starting, what better time than now to visit the newest exhibition in the Pioneer Room? The latest installment in the Pioneer Room, “Open Book Series,” features Ames-based artist Kathy Svec, who creates shadow boxes by
layering inspirational quotes over a visual collage. However whimsical her work may appear, this mixed media artwork holds a serious message: one of living life to the fullest. While the subjects of the collages vary, Svec centers her pieces on quotes that deal with relatable philosophical questions and advice for the “good life.” The artwork on display spans a 14-year time period of artistic creation. On Sunday there will be a reception with the artist from 2 to 4 p.m. The exhibit will be open to the public until Feb. 4. The next exhibit in the Pioneer Room will be on display from Feb. 8 to March 25 and is a juried exhibition with student pieces chosen by a local artist. For more information, or for entry guidelines, visit the Student
Activities Center website under “Art Exhibits.”
Brunnier and Christian Peterson Art Museums The latest rotating exhibitions in the Brunnier Art Museum are “Woven Together: Art and Design in Native American Textiles, Ceramics and Baskets” and “Real and Imagined Aspects of the State Capitol: Prints by Amy Worthen.” “Woven Together” features Southwestern Native American baskets, textiles and pottery from the first half of the 20th Century, many of which are from the University’s permanent collection. “Real and Imagined Aspects” is a collection of Des Moines-based artist Amy Worthen’s most famous work. Her prints often feature architectural
pieces and local characters, combining humor and history. These exhibits will be on display until Aug. 2. The Christian Peterson Museum’s newest exhibitions are “Post-Pop Redux: Material Based Art” by Andy Magee and “Cabinet of Curiosities.” Magee, of “Post-Pop Redux,” creates sculptural art that transforms found objects into social commentary. His works expose contemporary social and political issues, and encourage discussion of topics that are often taboo. “Cabinet of Curiosities” displays many objects and specimens from the historical collections at the University, including taxidermy animals and bizarre objects that are part of the University’s past. “Post-Pop” and “Cabinet of Curiosities” will be on display until April 26 and April 21, respectively.

Abby Lund, junior in performing arts, is a team leader for a devised theater group along with two other team leaders, Andre Johnson and Brittany Rebhuhn, who are going to this year’s region five Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. The festival takes place this week in Lincoln, Neb.
Who in the theater department is involved in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival?

Anybody is actually allowed to go to the festival. All they would have to do is pay the registration fee. Right now, we have people doing the devised projects, people who are doing musical theatre. We have a student who got selected to have her play directed as a stage reading at [Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival]. We have a student who got selected to be a 10-minute play director. We also have a student who is taking a directing scene there and if people aren’t actually doing events at [Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival]. There are workshops all day that people can attend as much as they want. Brad Dell is actually vice-
chair of the region five advisory board for [the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival], so he is directly involved in planning the festival and Matt Foss is the coordinator for the festival for Iowa State and on the festival management team.
What are the different events that are featured at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival? The different events, that I know, are the devised event, the musical theatre cabaret event, where there are about 60 to 90 people who audition and then only 20 people get picked to do a full cabaret at the end of the week. Each show that we have at Iowa State, there are representatives there from [Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival] from other colleges that come to watch, and then they select a student and the director selects a student and then that student can be nominated for an Irene Ryan. ... Irene Ryans are individual awards, and if you get one you can go to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. It’s our major acting award. There are directing events, one of which is the 10-minute directing event. [Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival] is kind of like this middle point. There are a lot of different things you can accomplish to go to the Kennedy Center. The devise and musical theatre, they are both new this year. The musical theatre was brought up by Brad Dell.

Music: ‘Bruno Mars’ By Maggie McGinity Bruno Mars’ second studio album, “Unorthodox Jukebox,” builds on his established multi-genre style while exploring some repetitive subject matter: love and sex. “Young Girls” begins “Jukebox.” Mars’ crooning on the bridge and the ‘80s feel throughout make this track fun and easy listening. I was put off by the bluntness of “Locked Out of Heaven,” but I was soon drawn in by the irresistible harmonies and driving instrumentals which shot this track to the top of the charts. “Gorilla” is a power ballad which starts with a mention of drinking and drugs and ends with a bit of a Bon Jovi sound.“Treasure” is ‘80s central in a fun way. Mars definitely takes cues from Prince in this tune. “When I Was Your Man” is a slow and soulful piano-and-voice tune.

Game: ‘Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance’
Movie: ‘Mama’
By Devin Pacini “Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance” is the next title in the “Kingdom Hearts” series for the 3DS. It’s a continuation of the game’s story that takes place after the second game that focuses on Sora and Riku’s journey as they become Key Blade Warriors. To do this they must visit the “sleeping” worlds and awaken them by finding each world’s keyhole. Rather than heartless plaguing, the sleeping worlds dream eaters are now everywhere. You must fight alongside spirits to defeat these dream eaters and awaken the worlds. You make these spirits and can strengthen them.

If you love creepy children in your horror movies, then you will love “Mama.” The story of “Mama” takes place after a father goes unstable, killing his wife and kidnapping his daughters. After crashing down a mountain, they find an abandoned cabin, where a supernatural being deals with the father and looks after the children. Five years later, their uncle and his girlfriend have discovered their whereabouts and attempt to reintroduce them to society. Unfortunately, they have baggage in the form of a jealous ghost who just lost her children. Without a doubt, “Mama” is the scariest movie of 2013 (three weeks in). Guillermo del Toro is the executive producer of the movie, and his influence shows in the beautiful scenery and camera work. I am happy that this movie went for fear without the use of gore.
