Research finds students loneliest Professors find level decreases with age By Carmen.Leng iowastatedaily.com The UCLA Loneliness Scale discovered that college students are on the highest scale of loneliness, and that number tends to decline as students get older. Daniel Russell, professor of human development and family studies, and his wife, Carolyn Cutrona, chairwoman and professor of psychology, established the UCLA Loneliness Scale in the 1980s. The scale works by determining a subject’s loneliness by scoring their responses made on a four-point scale calculated by 20 questions. The two major factors of being lonely involve one’s social network —family and friends — and personality characteristics. “’Are you lonely?’ If you ask about loneliness explicitly like that people are not going to answer that they are lonely,” Russell said. “Also, if you measure loneliness that way you find a sex difference, where when using the scale you won’t.” The UCLA study in 1978-1979 tested how lonely freshmen were after moving away from home and into a new environment. In the fall semester, 75 per-

Charges surround counterfeit bills By Kayla.Schantz iowastatedaily.com Ames police arrested Mark Dearborn again Sunday after an investigation relating to counterfeit bills led officers to him. He was charged with two additional counts of forgery, each a Class D felony, according to a news release from the Ames Police Department. Dearborn, 28, of Ames, was charged Jan. 7 with forgery as a result of counterfeit bills being found in his possession, according to the release.

The City Council will be voting on the approval of the land lease agreement with Iowa State to allow construction of the Intermodal Facility. The Intermodal Facility is part of an $8.463 million grant the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded to the city of Ames in February, 2010. The new facility will be owned by the Ames Transit Agency. The objective of the project is to supply parking space in Campustown. If the agreement is passed, construction of the facility will begin no later than March 15. The City Council will vote on the agreement at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers at City Hall, 515 Clark Ave.
Jan. 23, 2011, the Ames Police Department received in excess of 20 reports of counterfeit $20 and $50 bills being circulated within the Ames area. After Dearborn was released from jail, additional reports of counterfeit bills were reported. Continued investigation resulted in his arrest. Dearborn is again being held at the Story County Jail in lieu of $20,000. The investigation continues, and additional charges relating to this case may be forthcoming. The public is asked to contact the police if they have information related to counterfeit bills or if they suspect they have come into possession of a counterfeit bill.
Warren Madden: ‘... in the LANE4 Q&A process are those kinds of businesses that ... students are interested in ...’ ISU vice president for business and finance By Jason.Arment iowastatedaily.com Q: What is the university’s position on LANE4 and Campustown renovation? The city of Ames and the university over the last several months have been cooperating and working together to try and do a redevelopment of Campustown that started out ... last spring. We interviewed a number of potential developer/ design firms and after evaluating a number of them, picked LANE4, which is the firm that we’ve been working with over the last several months. They’re a firm located in Kansas City and they have been involved in a number of university
Campustown-type redevelopment projects at some other locations. They’ve done projects in Lawrence, which is adjacent to the University of Kansas, in Manhattan, which is where Kansas State is ... so we felt that they have some background and expertise. Q: What is the background of this project? The background of this from the university[‘s] perspective and I believe the city of Ames and the City Council has been that Campustown could be improved over the last few years. Its general condition and some of the areas aren’t what everybody feels provides the best environment.
This is an area that’s important to the university in terms of recruiting students, and it’s one of the front doors to Iowa State as prospective students and parents and other family members move around, so that’s been part of our interest in seeing if something could be done to improve that. So we have been meeting with LANE4 [since last spring] and some meetings were held over the summer. There have been several public meetings and LANE4 has met in the community with specific groups and individually has come out on the campus, they’ve met with administrators, they’ve met ... once or twice with GSB as this proINTERVIEW.p5 >>
