Union commons hosts student-focused TV

Matthew Q&A Goodman “[LANE4 project] a good thing.”

Ames City Council member

By Michaela.Cashman iowastatedaily.com Q: As a business owner, what do you think of the proposed LANE4 changes?

I think that the project could do a lot of cool things for Campustown on its own. I think overall it’s a good thing, and it has the potential to bring a lot of amenities to the area that we don’t have, and that will diversify the area.

By Michael.Craighton iowastatedaily.com The Memorial Union commons recently received an upgrade, free of charge.

Televisions sporting Mediacom cable were replaced by three brand new 42-inch Samsung flat-screen LCD TVs continually broadcasting mtvU, a college student-focused branch of the MTV channel.

The televisions, installed Dec. 16 as finals were wrapping up, are part of a deal made between Iowa State and MTV. As a partner campus with mtvU, Iowa State joins other area universities who have already installed similar technology, including the University of Iowa, the University

Campustown | Renovations

Varsity Theatre plans placed on hold

By Paige.Godden iowastatedaily.com The Government of the Student Body’s plan to buy and remodel the old Varsity Theater has been put on hold until they receive more information on the Campustown renovation from LANE4 Property Group.

“We’ve been negotiating with the Champlin family, but we can’t lease a property that is being bought,” said Anthony Maly, GSB finance

director and member of the Varsity Task Force.

The theater would have a start-up cost of $185,165 and $30,000 lease estimates, according to budget memos.

The plan for the theater was to have it be a dollar theater: a cheap entertainment option for students under 21.

The theater would also provide job opportunities for business and other related majors.

LANE4 had initially proposed they would renovate the theater, the university would

rent classroom space during the day and the Government of the Student Body would run the theater at night.

The future of the theater was questioned after President Gregory Geoffroy said the university would not be renting classroom space.

Geoffroy said last Wednesday that renting the classrooms from LANE4 would be too expensive, and the university does not need more

THEATRE.p3A >>

Q: As strictly a City Council member, does your opinion on the LANE4 project change at all?

It’s going to depend on the willingness of existing businesses and property owners to be involved in the process.

There’s going to need to be a respect for those business owners throughout the process for this to work.

I won’t be voting on this issue because I have too much interest in the monetary issues, but there is going to need to be a great balance between the good they want to accomplish with the pains it might cause.

If there’s a business that has to close down and relocate, there’s got to be a great deal of benefit coming from that and the project.

Q: How long has the City Council been considering making these changes in Campustown?

Revitalization of Campustown was made a goal in January 2010. I think then the rest of that spring the university talked with the city manager [Steve Q&A.p4A >> ™

Forums set up to review Blue Sky proposal College re-organizes departments, plans to finalize report by Spring Break

By Thane.Himes iowastatedaily.com There are two open forums remaining with Michael Whiteford, dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, regarding the Blue Sky Task Force report.

The forums were set up to discuss the report and other budget proposals made to help LAS be more efficient in both an academic and financial sense.

The goal is to have an official proposal ready by Spring Break.

The report includes four models for how the humanities and social sciences aspects of LAS can be reorganized into departments, with various disciplinary programs falling into one of six departments.

The six departments are psychology and behavioral

sciences; social sciences; journalism and mass communication; humanities; creative arts and design; and literature and languages.

The first model is blank to provide an example of how the six departments can be organized.

The other three represent different versions of the task force’s best guess as to where the current departments and disciplines would fall. The models can be found at http:// www.las.iastate.edu/ Blue Sky also recommended, when restructuring is completed, all undergraduate programs should be reviewed in order to highlight courses considered “conceptual and theoretical building blocks,” as well as advanced courses that “reflect the best of the discipline.”

Faculty and staff from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences criticized the dean and the Blue Sky Task Force report Wednesday morning.

The report to Michael Whiteford, dean of LAS, said the reason for the task force was to “streamline operations for a structurally smaller college, increase efficiency and generate financial savings,” among others.

Whiteford discussed several reasons why the task force was necessary, including $13.55 million the college has given up during the past three years and the anticipated future budget cuts’ impact on the school.

But faculty criticized how the task force was formed and how much money the report would actually save.

Several times throughout the meeting Whiteford tried to sway conversation away from the Blue Sky Task Force and toward money saving proposals.

“Forget about the Blue Sky proposals.

Maly said the Government of the Student Body is trying to set up meetings with LANE4 and the City of Ames so it can figure out where

By Tyler.Kingkade iowastatedaily.com Republican Fred Karger has a strong political resume, having worked on the campaigns of Presidents Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and former Senator Bob Dole. Now he intends to make his own bid for office, seeking the 2012 GOP nomination for president.

One problem already complicating his would-be campaign: he’s gay.

The first organized gathering of Republican hopefuls will be a debate held by the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition. Steve Scheffler, president of the Iowa group organizing the March 7 event, has said Karger wasn’t among the 15 potential candidates invited because he only talks about one issue: gay rights. Scheffler told the Washington, D.C. newspaper, The Hill, Karger is not a legitimate candidate.

“This is very unusual,” Karger told the Iowa State Daily.

Karger recognizes he’s a long shot, but said he measures his campaign’s success by whether he can be included in the debates. He said he’s worked toward the requirements of the 2008 cycle debates he and his research director have identified.

“They need to be political, not philosophical, like what Steve Scheffler’s doing,” Karger said. “And according to our reading and my attorney’s reading and the FEC’s [Federal Election Committee] regulations on this, you cannot exclude someone based on that person’s beliefs, because then the contributions to the other candidates who are participating is considered an inkind contribution.”

Scheffler, an Iowa delegate to the Republican National Committee, sent an e-mail to Karger in May. The email was in response to a message by Californians Against Hate, in which Karger outlined how Maine officials ordered the National Organization for Marriage to turn over the names of its donors in a recent state election.

The e-mail from Scheffler read: You don’t care about transparency — you and the radical homosexual community want to harass supporters of REAL marriage. I am the Republican National Committeeman for Iowa.

As a private citizen, and knowing literally thousands of caucus goers, I will work overtime to help ensure that your political aspirations are aborted Karger right here in Iowa.

Have you studied our past caucuses – you have NO chance here in Iowa! [sic] “The fact that Steve Scheffler is saying ‘no, he’s a single issue candidate,’ which I construe based on correspondent to me last May, means ‘no, he’s openly gay, and he’s not invited because of that.’”

Recently, Karger met with the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and even Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, who was excluded from debates during his own 2008 run.

Karger said he plans to pressure the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition into inviting him to the forum. He began distributing a petition last week.

Meanwhile, he’s also researching Barack Obama’s successful 2008 run and his grassroots and web-savvy approach to a presidential campaign.

In September, Karger launched his first TV ad in New Hampshire and has already formed exploratory committees. He’ll return to New Hampshire this week.

In October, he visited Iowa City to speak to a family law class at the University of Iowa College of Law, an LGBTQ student organization at the university and to the campus College Republicans. It was his fourth trip to Iowa since April.

Karger said he’s done far more than some of the GOP 2012 hopefuls who were invited.

“Many of whom haven’t even been to Iowa,” Karger said, “and many could be seen as single-issue candidates themselves.”

The Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition supported the campaign that ousted the three Iowa Supreme Court justices who voted in favor of a ruling declaring a ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional.

Karger said he requested a meeting with Scheffler to clear the air.

Last week, Karger was a guest on Jan Mickelson’s WHO-AM radio program.

Geoffroy also said LANE4 has asked the university to close down Hotel Memorial Union if they were able to find a larger hotel chain that would come into Campustown.

>>FORUMS.p1A The task force also recommended graduate programs be reviewed during the 2011-2012 academic year, using those reviews to decide whether programs should continue to be supported, enhanced, downsized, merged with other programs or eliminated entirely.

During the re-organization process, Blue Sky believes each of the newly created divisions, depending on the initial models, should create at least one new interdisciplinary program.

These new programs, beyond the goal of financial and academic efficiency, will also help to “alleviate some of the concerns/anxieties for faculty in those departments where graduate programs may be discontinued as a result of the review,” according to the report.

The task force provided a list of examples for potential interdisciplinary programs, including media and society, health policy, international affairs, social development policy and program evaluation, research on science and technology, and public humanities.

The task force decided “money should follow the students,” meaning that each department or program should receive funding based on the revenue generated by the program or department in question. On top of that, the task force urged the university to look at the

>>BENEFITS.p1A this year and down the road.

Rather than focus on Blue Sky let’s shift gears and talk about moving forward,” Whiteford said. “Look at this as another way to provide alternative suggestions.”

Michael Bugeja, director for the Greenlee School of Journalism and Mass Communication, said his biggest concerns involve retaining faculty.

“Those who came on board in 2005 and 2006 haven’t had a raise.

It looks like they won’t have a raise for another six years,” Bugeja said.

“The 2007 and 2008 cohorts are in deep trouble if you recognize the first thing that happens is they’re teaching more and don’t do research. How does a dean create a level playing field? The Blue Sky report had a linguistic character. If you put the word collaboration in place of interdisciplinary you have a paradigm.”

space needs for faculty and programs.

Beyond simply improving the quality of space, the task force said space should be found for interdisciplinary programs, with ways for faculty in each department to work in the same space in order to further enhance teaching synergies.

Two more open forums are planned in 302 Catt Hall: 11 a.m. to noon Friday, Jan. 28 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 1 Afterward, Whiteford said there is no definite next phase.

“We are collecting information and then I think we’re going to have to sit back and think about these suggestions we’ve received.

Then we will get on how we will best prepare ourselves for future budget cuts, especially when so many units have so little flexibility,” Whiteford said. “We can’t just sit on our hands anymore.”

Whiteford said the suggestions made in these open forums will be summarized for the students and faculty unable to attend the sessions.

“Next week, we’ll summarize the notes we’re taking and I will put together something saying where we’ve evolved with [the suggestions made] and hopefully then we will have some idea of where we go from here,” Whiteford said.

protected from the full impact of budget cuts in the past because of the effects of stimulus money.

“It allowed us to postpone laying off colleagues and not hiring graduate students,” Whiteford said.

High enrollment is expected to drop off within the next couple of years, Whiteford said, but if it drops off immediately LAS could be in trouble.

He said LAS alone has lost 62 faculty members through resignations and retirements.

“We’ve been hiring about a quarter of what we did two years ago and we’re doing it cautiously,” Whiteford said.

As a result, students have less

“The hotel has been here for a very long time, and it’s not used very heavily,” Geoffroy said.

“The task force didn’t provide us, and felt it wasn’t their job to do, the financial aspects of this,” Whiteford said.

One idea a faculty member shared was to reduce operation costs to force colleges to come up with the money.

Some faculty expressed concerns with how this project was “done from the top down instead of from the bottom up,” and said they wanted the entire college involved in the problem solving.

Another idea being discussed is the creation of a university college that would offer 100- and 200-level classes.

Whiteford said the meeting was “the first of several coffees to be had.”

There will be two more open forums: Jan. 28 and Feb. 1 in 302 Catt Hall.

of Nebraska and the University of Missouri.

The deal brokered by George Micalone, director of Student Activities, provides signiďŹ cant beneďŹ ts to both Iowa State and MTV, he said.

The university did not pay a dime in obtaining or installing the TVs, or in gaining access to the mtvU channel, Micalone said. As part of the deal, MTV paid for the televisions, contracted the labor for installation and paid for the satellite dish installed atop the MU to receive the programming.

Although a spokesperson from MTV was not available for comment by the time of publication, Micalone estimates the entire package provided by MTV had a value of at least $10,000.

However, the deal came with stipulations. MtvU was to be the sole entertainment provider in the venue in which it was installed — in this case the MU food court. MtvU also requires it have exclusive programming rights, meaning no station other than mtvU may be shown on the TVs they install. In fact, if one does try to change the station on the new TVs, the result is static.

ISU students get more out of the deal than just new TVs though. “There’s lots of great beneďŹ ts for being a partner campus,â€? Micalone said.

Among those beneďŹ ts are exclusive Fulbright Fellowships for students to travel around the world and study and promote the “power of music.â€? MtvU grants to support student service organizations, and exclusive concerts and mtvU tours.

MTV also allows the station to feature campus-speciďŹ c advertising.

Part of the partnership As part of the partnership with MTV: ƒ Iowa State did not have to pay for the TVs, installation of the technology or the satellite required to receive the mtvU channel. ƒ No other station but mtvU may be played on the supplied TVs. ƒ ISU students qualify for Fulbright Fellowships and other opportunities. ƒ ISU student organizations may produce 15-second commercials to be played on the channel. Four 15-second commercials are played per hour. ƒ MtvU will play programs that highlight social activism issues, in addition to topics like student debt and mental health. ƒ ISU students will be eligible to participate in speciďŹ c MTV and mtvU shows

SpeciďŹ cally, 60 seconds per hour, broken into four 15-second intervals, are available for campus organizations to advertise. Also, the station plans its advertising to be positive and promote anti-drug and anti-drinking campaigns.

MtvU also provides special opportunities to students of partner campuses through their programming.

Peabody and Emmy winning shows focus on mental health, student debt, as well as other social activism issues.

Programs on mtvU are six minutes in length, allowing for patrons to come and go from the cafeteria and still be able to view entire programs.

MTV. The program has featured such names as Sting, Madonna, Bill Gates and John McCain. Any campus partner is eligible to participate in these programs.

Many students have not yet noticed the new TVs. Micalone attributes the lack of acknowledgment to three main factors.

First, the semester has just begun, and many students have not been in the MU often enough to notice them yet. But Micalone is conďŹ dent that as the semester wears on students will begin to notice the changes more.

Second, the volume on the televisions is too low to be heard over the din of the cafeteria lunch crowd.

“Our biggest problem with the TVs right now, because they’re restricted to MTV only, they’re locked out,� Micalone said. “It takes someone to physically go out there, unlock the TV, and up [the volume on] the channel.�

This is an issue that MTV is working to solve.

Finally, no large-scale effort to promote the new partnership has been made yet this semester. Although promotional materials were given out at an event in December, the Student Activities Center plans to promote mtvU and its programs with presentations and free giveaways at the next ISU AfterDark on Feb. 4.

Although many students have yet to notice the new at-screens in the food court, those who have taken notice gave a mixed response. “I like them,â€? said Kyle Woolcock, freshman in computer science.

Other students didn’t respond so favorably. “Why do we have to watch just MTV?� said Mike Burton, junior in accounting. “There are other things we’d rather watch.�

Many other students responded similarly, and several said they would prefer to watch ESPN or a news station. “We knew that we’d be taking away a TV that people liked to be able to ip, but the truth is that it’s the same two channels [people watch] on there anyway,â€? Micalone said in response to student’s objections. “It’s about what people are familiar with, so until people are familiar with [mtvU] they’re going to be uncomfortable with it.â€?

Micalone also pointed out that there are four other places in the MU students can watch regular, Mediacom-provided cable television on TV’s whose channels they can change: the Trophy Tavern, The

The idea to remodel Cam-

Underground, the main lounge and the multicultural center.

After Iowa State began talks with mtvU about partnering, decisionmakers in the MU had very few objections, Micalone said. No other stations exist currently that offer a partnership similar to what mtvU does.

ISUtv, a campus organization, pitched mtvU to the Inter-Residence Hall Association in the past, who considered it because it would beneďŹ t the ISUtv organization. Pete Englin, director of residence, said the Department of Resident was willing to support this proposal, given the constraints and stipulations mtvU gave.

Ultimately, IRHA rejected the proposal.

Englin said the IRHA was opposed to having televisions in the Dining Centers, as it “was a space for conversation and engaging each other, not watching TV.� It also objected to installation in lobbies or the commons. The primary reason for this rejection, which was also a reason for rejecting them in ISU Dining centers, was the exclusive content stipulation, meaning that the TVs “could not be changed to show a Cyclone basketball game or any other programming without violating the mtvU contract.�

Another proposal was to provide mtvU as a channel on cable in the residence halls, but neither IRHA nor the Department of Residence wanted to pursue this, as it would have required Mediacom support. MtvU was also less that supportive of the idea.

Micalone wanted to emphasize that Iowa State is not in a long-term contract with mtvU. When it comes time to renew the contract, a large portion of the students are still opposed to it, the MU staff is open to revisiting the issue.

Editorial

Rah! Rah! O-Ba-Ma!

We can’t imagine anyone with a tougher job than President Barack Obama. Leading the free world is a daunting endeavor, something that takes its toll on even the most exuberantly bright-eyed and bushy-tailed prospect since JFK. The Obama from this week’s State of the Union address and the Obama from inauguration night 2009 look like different men, with the former resembling the latter’s older, wiser brother.

The president is most certainly the best cheerleader we’ve had in office, and that’s saying something considering he succeeded a professional. The man ran a campaign on two words — “hope” and “change” — and won in a veritable landslide. Anyone looking to pass SPCM 212 with flying colors need not look any further than Obama; two fantastic speeches to a captive national audience within a week of one another is a pretty daunting endeavor, and he absolutely killed it.

We like our rock star president, and his rock star ambitions.

Ideologically, it’s hard to disagree with the man on any of the points he makes.

Pragmatism and insight tend to be difficult to argue with, and new rhetoric from either side is going to be particularly interesting with pundits and politicians deciding to tone down the crazy in wake of the Tucson tragedy. Public sentiment seems to be that we’re a nation ready to shift course away from a hyper-polarized politics to the common ground where things get done and special interests are an afterthought.

We’re also glad to see the GOP realizing hack-n-slash “budget cuts” aren’t exactly sensible when part of the proposal includes cutting education funding. It’s disconcerting that career politicians would even consider such a drastic notion. We’ll speak plainly here, so as not to confuse or confound — get rid of government perks and entitlements, spend money on the kids. As much as we appreciate the tickets for tinted windows, we’d like to see cushy the money spent on pensions and health care for folks like state troopers and career politicians to go toward future generations. When we say “smaller government,” dearest GOP, we mean “fewer government employees,” not “under-fund our education, please.”

We’re on board with the president’s new ideas. Yes, we have deficits to reduce, fat to trim, but we need not forget that we’re still the United States. We should have a government that supports innovation, technology, education and something besides itself.

As a nation, this recession was good for us. It taught us to be frugal, to reign in excess. It reminded us where our bootstraps were, that open hands make far less money than working hands.

We thoroughly enjoyed Tuesday’s national pep rally, and we’re crossing our fingers. 2012 is a ways off, but we’ve got a sneaking suspicion we’ve got ourselves a two-term president.

A good one.

Parenting

Despite many Asian stereotypes, American parenting is not superior to Asian parenting. Many people would like to think that different races are collectively good at different things, but that is not always true. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

‘Tiger Mom’ is crazy

By Yun.Kwak iowastatedaily.com

Authoritarian parenting style isn’t always the best

I

immediately laughed when I read the title of a Wall Street Journal article titled, “Why Chinese Mothers are Superior.”

You hear about “positive” stereotypes, which is an oxymoron because no stereotype is really beneficial, and this person was reinforcing that idea.

A picture accompanies the article: the author, with her arms folded and a triumphant smile; her daughters, grinning while playing the piano and holding a violin.

Perfect, more stereotypes.

This article talks about superior Chinese parenting. How Chinese parents can get their children to obey them and get good grades.

There is no secret to the recipe, as the article relents that the key ingredient is through coercion. Perfection through coercion. The kids are basically scared to death to be perfect.

The mother said that she doesn’t allow her kids to watch TV or play video games. Any extracurricular activities they do are chosen by their mother. She compares strict American parents and how that strict American parenting would be a complete joke compared to Chinese parenting.

Is Chinese — or Asian parenting for that matter — really superior to that of Western or American parents?

It’s actually very hard to gauge parenting.

After all, there isn’t a “parenting scale” of sorts and this could also be a matter of opinion.

However, I think that a lot of things can be quantified to be presented as data where once can make an assumption.

In order to roughly compare parenting skills I will try and interpret the Organization for Economic Development’s scores, which compare academic performance between countries as well as suicide rates. Why suicide and achievement? Because suicide will roughly, and I mean roughly, measure happiness and achievement will also roughly represent parenting effectiveness.

Before we proceed, I strongly recommend that any inferences I make you should take

with a grain of salt. Overall suicide rates, for example, are higher in Asian countries like Japan, South Korea and China. However, suicide isn’t a one issue deal, it covers a broad range of problems and Chua wouldn’t be a reliable indicator of parenting by itself. Not to mention that suicide rates are for broad age groups. Suicide statistics in this case may cover from academic pressures to social problems like bullying.

The Organization for Economic Development lists Shanghai and Hong Kong’s performance in reading, math and science as, “Statistically significantly above the OECD average.” This goes for South Korea and Japan.

United States is deemed as, “Not Statistically significantly different from the OECD average.” So from this we can infer that American students are average while their Asian counterparts are above average.

Suicide rates for teens 15 to 19 in South Korea and Japan are surprisingly different than that of the United States according to OECD data. It could be that in the United States, firearms are readily accessible which makes suicides relatively easy to achieve while their Asian counterparts don’t have access to firearms and resort to more messy or inconvenient forms of suicide such as jumping in front of a subway train or jumping off a building.

If suicide methods were taken into account — because Asian teens are more likely to kill themselves through more painful methods — one could imply that they would be willing to endure such a physical pain to kill themselves, but even then I am hesitant on making that statement.

Unfortunately it will be impossible to determine parenting skills through these two measures because it would be comparing apples to oranges; there are a lot of variables to consider.

But being Asian myself and also being subjected to this style of parenting, I can safely tell you that it sucks big time. I mean honestly, how fun would it be to not be able to do the things you want and only do the things your parents

want you to do? My parents weren’t too strict: I was able to watch TV. Even then it lead to me becoming very unstable in the mental health department. For their strictness they, as well as I, ended up paying a dear price. Fortunately things turned out for the better.

A well-known developmental psychologist named Diana Baumrind came up with a chart of different parenting types: Authoritarian style, in which the parents are demanding and physically abusive. Permissive parenting, in which the parents give attention to their children but are unwilling to correct bad behaviors.

Neglectful parenting, which is basically not giving children any attention at all and not guiding them. Authoritative parenting, which is pretty much in the middle.

With this I can characterize parenting types of the two differing cultures. Asian parenting styles are lean toward authoritarian, where the parents expect obedience and can be physically abusive. If their kid says “no” to their demands, you know something bad will probably happen to that kid later. American style of parenting, at least from what I’ve seen so far, is either a mix of authoritative and permissive.

This Chinese lady can boast all she wants about superior Chinese parenting, but in the overall picture it seems that all it is capable of doing is robbing children of their creativity and individually. They don’t see the need for it early on, but think about it: If children are guided throughout their entire lives with direction, then when they finally have their freedom what happens? They can’t deal with situations that require them to think for themselves. This is what separates the two different parenting styles that this lady does not seem to understand.

I’m not trying to say that American parenting is superior to Asian parenting. In fact, I think it’s silly to differentiate parenting styles into different race categories because each person will have a different parenting style.

Unfortunately for some people, it seems that they like to keep the notion that some race groups are better at doing things than others. I can only hope that they eventually grow out of that mentality.

Property managers

Outsource for snowy sidewalks I

always laugh when people who move to Iowa tell me in October that they think it’s cold out. If you’re one of those people, allow me to welcome you to deep winter in Iowa, the real deal. As I’m writing this, it’s a balmy 17 degrees outside — 5 degrees warmer than the projected temperature for the day. And I’m glad for that because, like many of you, I do the greater part of my traveling in Ames either on foot or by bus.

But it’s not the frigidness of winter that bothers me — any Iowan worth his salt knows how to adapt to our unusually fickle and extreme weather — it’s the thick, slippery snow pack that seems to be ubiquitous on our sidewalks.

The snow pack, as you may have observed, is the consequence of a high-traffic sidewalk that has been neglected by whomever was charged with the task of shoveling

By Camron.Leehey iowastatedaily.com it. You may also have observed a pattern in the locations of snow pack sidewalks, I certainly have: In front of rented houses in student neighborhoods.

I don’t mean to point fingers at the tenants of any of those houses; I sympathize with their dilemma.

A couple of years ago, I lived in a rented house with four other people. The terms of our lease agreement stipulated that we were responsible for snow removal, which sounded simple enough — we only had about 10 yards of sidewalk to handle. But, like everyone who has ever had roommates has learned, even simple things become complex in the perpetual collective action problem created by living with roommates.

Each time it snows, somebody has to shovel. Maybe at first turns are taken or agreements are honored, but soon enough college living intervenes, and people forget whose turn it is. The snow

sits on the sidewalk, gradually being packed beneath the boots of passers by until eventually the powers that be present an ultimatum of some sort, prompting an overdue shoveling. Of course, by then it’s too late — the best that can be done is to scoop the powder off of the hazardously slick layer beneath.

This is the necessary result of the incentive system created by such a shared responsibility between roommates who are each waiting for the other to shovel the walk before the city issues a ticket.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

I propose that, rather than permitting this vicious cycle to perpetuate itself year after year, we mandate that property owners, not tenants, be responsible for snow removal. They are, after all, the best suited to get the job done.

Property managers are already handling many of the rental houses, so snow removal would

involve nothing more than the hiring of additional hands to perform a systematic job.

Each time it snows, a hardy group of individuals in the private sector already pry themselves from their warm beds to clear driveways and sidewalks before the sun even rises.

A measure requiring property owners to shoulder the responsibility of show removal would only mean more work for local business.

The cost incurred by the property owners, should they object to my suggestion, could be factored into the rental fees for their various properties. The property managers, employed by property owners, exist precisely to coordinate necessary upkeep such as snow removal.

I do no contend that they should bear the cost; I merely point out that they are best suited to handle the responsibility.

Abortion

Protest

Pro-life march Less talk, more walk: soldiers onward Make your voice heard

By Abigail.Barefoot iowastatedaily.com

By Clare.Schwager iowastatedaily.com

D

espite freezing temperatures and very little media coverage Monday, hundreds of thousands of protesters spoke up on behalf of the voiceless in a country where freedom and liberties apply only to some and not to all. These protesters marched in defense of life and of the right to life, a liberty this country withholds from those unable to obtain it themselves.

Which country is this? Ours, of course.

Jan. 22 marked the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision in abortion legislation in America. An estimated 200,000 protesters marched Monday to Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., marking the 38th national March for Life.

As the mainstream media seems reluctant to cover this topic, here’s an attempt to address it in a few short paragraphs.

Roe v. Wade was the 1973 Supreme Court decision that took the power from the states and declared abortion unconditionally legal for the first trimester of a woman’s pregnancy.

In cases of second trimester abortions the states might have some restrictions, but only ones intended to protect the health of the mother.

In the companion case of Doe v. Bolton, it was established that abortions were to be allowed through any stage of pregnancy if the mother’s health was at risk.

Risk is defined as “physical, emotional, psychological, familial and the woman’s age.” This is a rather broad list of exceptions to the rule. In other words, abortion is entirely legal through all nine months of pregnancy.

A woman may have her child aborted the day before birth if she so chooses.

The March for Life is an annual event that protests the decision of Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton.

People from all over the country, of all ages, sizes and nationalities, take part in the march. Most of these participants are young adults.

Having participated myself several years ago, I can attest to the fact that there are countless young women and men out there who won’t sit back and let the previous generation continue to dictate our future.

Despite the media’s portrayal, the prolife movement is not made up of old people set in their ways and unwilling to adapt to society’s demands.

Far from it, in fact; that isn’t an accurate description of the most ardent abortion supporters. They are realizing their time is past.

It is our generation’s turn to lead, and we’re not going to allow the 38-year genocide to continue much longer.

Since 1973 there have been more than 50 million abortions in America, according to the pro-abortion Alan Guttmacher Institute.

One-third of all American women will have had an abortion by age 45. This is an astounding number. Fifty million human beings have had a choice made for them, a choice that ends in death. Millions of women are left to suffer the traumatic mental after-effects of abortion on their own. Countless family members are left confused and hurting. Abortion affects everyone, not just the mothers.

The March for Life on Monday was a chance for our nation’s youth to show Congress where we stand. As the future leaders of our nation, we cannot and will not put up with the persecution of an entire generation. Congress has realized its mistakes before, and will again. It’s simply our job as citizens to remind Congress of this.

Comment of the day In response to the Jan. 23 column, “Campustown changes should not be accomplished through eminent domain” by Michael Belding:

“If I wanted to live in a soulless town full of half-empty strip malls, I’d move to Ankeny. Bad move, Ames.” -Keith Twombley

R

ise up my fellow students, and take a stand.

With all the grumbling about how crappy things are, you must want to create change.

No? You would rather just complain and magically hope things change?

Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but that isn’t going to happen. I understand no one wants to plan a protest outside in the negative two degrees, but even in the spring the free speech zone usually remains empty, featuring more students wasting time between classes then taking a stand against something, anything.

I don’t see petitions being created, or riots being held — not that I necessarily condone riots.

Mostly, people by Parks Library want my lunch money for a cause, which is fine, but it isn’t helping our situation.

Oh wait, there is a Facebook group for your complaint. Yes, because joining a group online and commenting on that will really get the job done, because so many members of Congress browse Facebook while in session.

Now you decided to protest by not tweeting for a week. That will show them, I mean what will people do if they can’t read your all inspiring tweets like, “Jersey Shore is on! Snookie is crazy!”

Think everything is hunky-dory?

Well, ISU students have a lot to pissed off about.

There is the ever growing cost of going to school here. ISU tuition is rising for both out of state and in-state students year after year.

President Geoffroy said to the Government of the Student Body that tuition will most likely go up again; no surprise there.

From 1997 to 2007, total cost of attending Iowa State has

A MES

increased 71.2 percent.

As of 2008, students in Iowa were ranked number one for having the highest student debt upon graduation, and Iowa State had the highest out of the three public schools with debt averaging around $30,000.

I doubt rising in tuition is helping that debt go down at all. Maybe it’s our goal to have the highest debt in the country; there might be a trophy for it that I don’t know about.

While we keep throwing money for our tuition, it doesn’t seem like it is going to our actual education. Class sizes are getting bigger, with rooms at capacity making it hard for everyone get into the classes they need to graduate.

Departments can’t afford to create more classes, they can only add more students to a class and hope there are enough chairs.

Departments can’t afford teaching assistants, which would help the teacher’s growing workload and give the teaching assistants the experience they need for future careers.

This means for students it might take longer to know how you did on a paper, or find out what you did wrong on a test.

Teachers in the English department are forgoing phones to save money. Sociology had its budget cut by 40 percent last year. The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences might be mushed into smaller categories with the Blue Sky proposal because of seven years of budget cuts that will and have affected hundreds of students, not to mention staff.

We are being charged for an athletic center that not everyone will use, whether they like it or not. The recreation fees for the new state gym — which cost academic students approximately $225 this year — will increase once again by more than 30 per-

cent to $322; we can’t opt out if we don’t want to use the facility.

For some students, $300 dollars could pay a semester of books instead of gym membership.

Why can’t students ask if we can set up a plan for the students to pay if they want to use the athletic center, and let the students who won’t use the center off the hook?

Kind of like choosing what meal plan you want for ISU Dinning.

Now I know that this is not all the university’s fault. It’s no secret that our government likes to slash public education budget.

Iowa State has to try and deal with their funding dwindling while trying to give us a good education. The proposed Iowa Taxpayer’s First Act will add an additional $3.7 million cut to Iowa State’s budget, along with a $6 million cut to the next fiscal year’s budget and a $6 million surplus cut in the budget for the year after that.

We are only a half an hour away from the capitol. What, apart from gas money, is stopping us from protesting outside there so they know we aren’t going to take it anymore? At the very least we could make a petition to give to legislators to make sure this bill doesn’t pass.

I know one protest will not change everything, but it’s a start. We need to stop complaining and actually do something.

Maybe it’s so ingrained in our heads that as students we don’t make a difference, or that our voice doesn’t matter.

Maybe it’s that we are too busy with school and work to care.

Maybe we simply just don’t think we have enough information to make a difference.

We have the first amendment for a reason, so can we use it. If we don’t do anything, more than likely it won’t stop.

A day in the life of a personal trainer Exercise coach explains routine, offers guidance

“The biggest thing people ask is how to lose 10 pounds in two weeks. The answer? You can’t.�

By Sarah.Binder iowastatedaily.com As a college student, it’s not easy to ďŹ t classes, a work schedule, a social life, adequate sleep and maintaining a healthy lifestyle into every day, but some have more incentive than others. “As a trainer, your body is your billboard. People aren’t going to want to work with you if you can’t take care of yourself,â€? said Stephanie Spotts, senior in kinesiology and health and head student trainer for Recreation Services.

Personal trainers strive to help their clients ďŹ nd the same balance.

They develop personalized plans for each trainee, whether the client is training for a

marathon or recovering from an injury. “Clients all have speciďŹ c goals, wants and needs. Some of them are very advanced.

They come in and say, ‘kick my ass.’ Some are very beginner,�

Spotts said.

There also are services, such as TRX suspension training, which utilizes suspension of a person’s own body weight, and for safety reasons, are only allowed with the supervision of a trainer.

Finally, personal trainers provide motivation to help their clients reach their goals. “You want to be their

friend. You want to be that support system, yet give them that extra little push to give them the workout they want,�

Spotts said.

After ďŹ lling out a new client information form, a trainer will have a consultation with the client to discuss any medical issues or past injuries, as well as the clients goals and personal workout preferences.

This meeting also gives Rec Services an idea of the client’s personality, so he or she can be matched with the best trainer for his or her needs.

However, all that personalization can put pressure on the trainers.

Spotts said that for each hour spent with the client — the hour the trainer gets paid for — at least that much time goes into planning the program. “It makes it hard to ďŹ nd time for yourself,â€? Spotts said.

She gets up early, “when most college students are

probably heading to bed,� to make time for her own workouts.

And she gets to bed early — she said sleep is something she

makes sure not to sacriďŹ ce.

Spotts avoids energy drinks, which are high in calories, but will occasionally drink coffee.

She keeps her energy up by eating ďŹ ve times per day, and eating a bigger meal at lunch

cation, technical skills speciďŹ c to the trip, leadership and group dynamics. “You need to be exible; things aren’t always going to go the way you think they’re going to go. But our staff is trained to deal with those things,â€? said Jerry Rupert, director of Outdoor Recreation.

Short trips and workshops are offered for those who may want to try out a skill before committing to a longer voyage.

The eight trips offered during Spring Break, which will go as far away as California or the Appalachian Trail, are all priced between $148 and $418 for students. Faculty and community members can enroll at a higher rate. “We’re here to provide a service to students,� Rupert said about striving to keep prices down.

The trips are limited to small groups. This both builds friendships and promotes safety.

Typically, all the student needs to bring is clothing and money for food on the road. If students have their own gear, they can get it approved to bring along.

Outdoor Recreation provides lodging and most of the gear, depending on what type of activity is planned. For example, on a backpacking trip, Outdoor Recreation would provide a backpack, cooking tools, and sleeping bag.

Every trip has a mandatory preparation meeting where equipment, logistics, and other questions are discussed.

It takes a lot of planning to transport students across the country for a week, so extended trips like these are proposed up to a year in advance.

The farthest trip Outdoor Recreation will have offered to date will be in June, for sea kayaking in Alaska.

Rupert hopes that soon the program will reach international proportions. For students who want to become more involved as trip leaders, Outdoor Recreation can also be an employment opportunity. Rupert says his students learn important life skills, like leadership or how to deal with people, by leading the trips. “The way we prepare our trip leaders to leave the university, we’re preparing these students for life,� Rupert said.

Goals

Diet

Editor:

Meet the participants:

Since high school my eating habits haven’t changed as much but the amount of exercise I do every week definitely has.

I danced three to five times a week from third grade to my senior year of high school.

Once I started college, though, my dancing was left on the back burner. I was involved in Orchesis I Dance Company my freshman year and I am in Dub H this year but I know that these are not enough.

Jessie Opoien, Editor in Chief: I’m probably in the worst shape of my life. I was told this would happen when I stepped into the role of editor in chief, but I didn’t entirely believe it. I’m almost always eating in a rush or on the go, which means unless I cook something in advance, I eat a lot of takeout.

I’d like to lose about 20 pounds, but I’m not very concerned with the number, as long as I get in shape. I want to fit back into my favorite clothes by the end of the semester.

I’m also using a website and app called LoseIt to track my calorie intake, workouts and weight progress every day.

Brian Smith, Online Editor: I’m in a different situation than most of the other people in the challenge. If you’ve ever met me, you’d know that I’m a scrawny little dude. I’m not looking to lose weight; a medical professional would probably yell at me if I tried to lose any weight. My goal is to stick to a healthier diet and a regular exercise schedule.

If I happen to gain some weight, I wouldn’t complain.

RJ Green, Opinion Editor: I’ve been a pile since about Thanksgiving break. I have done literally nothing that could be remotely construed as working out, unless your definition of “workout” involves copious amounts of alcohol and bad decision-making.

Don’t throw yourselves at me all at once, ladies.

Micaela Cashman, News

Right now I am an avid junk food eater. And I don’t make time to work out very often.

By spring break, I want to have dropped 5 pounds. More important than losing weight, I just want to get in shape and eat healthier.

Chelsea Davis, News Editor:

Kari Dockum, News Editor: I’d rather go out to eat or make a quick, but unhealthy, meal than make something healthy. I’m also good at making excuses as to why I can’t work out.

I’m going to work out at least four times a week for at least 30 minutes. I’m also going to eat better, and to do that, I’m going to keep a food journal.

Torey Robinson, News Editor: I make it to Lied off and on throughout the year. Sometimes I’m really consistent and go four to five times per week.

Other times I don’t work out for months. I’m naturally semiathletic, but not in shape to the best of my ability.

I want to run my first 5K in March or April. I also want to feel more comfortable about my body.

Matt Wettengel, News Editor: I think about going to the gym more than I actually go and eat whatever sounds good rather

than what I know would be better for me. I also don’t have any sort of a regular eating pattern, I just eat when I have time and am hungry.

I’m going to achieve my goal by going to the gym three times a week and possibly starting to attend a group fitness class.

I’m also going to try to get three meals in daily, while eating less, healthier food at each meal.

Moriah Smith, Designer: Right now, I’d say I’m fairly healthy, but there’s some weight I’d like to lose to look healthier.

I’m going to use this blog to motivate myself to work out.

I’m going to create a workout schedule to follow and add it into my normal schedule so I know I’ve got time. I’m also going to throw away my junk food and buy healthier food to eat.

Gabriel Stoffa, Copy Chief: I like to drink, and when I get wasted, I like to eat lots of carbs.

I also tend to eat large meals right before bed because it helps me go to sleep easier. I also play poker and work at a computer for work most of the week, so I cannot really get extra exercise throughout the day.

Goal: I will look better than I did in high school: six-pack, larger arms/chest. And yes, I will be posting photos of my progress.

Sarah Clark, News Reporter: My plan is that with the combination of weight training, running and abs every day at the gym, I will be able to see a difference in my physical appearance as well as feel a difference in my endurance and strength.

Follow the gang’s progress:

Although unhealthy foods can be tempting, a number of diet-friendly options exist on campus.

Healthy eating is possible on campus

By Kate.Adams falvors.ameseats.com

Snacks

Try a yogurt parfait.

Its New Year’s Resolution time and that means eating healthy and exercising - and for students, a big part of that includes food consumed on campus.

Eating healthy on campus can be a breeze as long as you come armed with a few tips and tricks.

Breakfast

Try the daily flavor of low-fat muffin or Ultimate Breakfast Bar (It contains 6 grams of fiber, is low-fat and looks like a cookie!)

Try the oatmeal at Caribou, it’s full of fiber and protein.

Lunch and Dinner Choose broth-based soups over cream based, they typically have less fat and calories.

Create your own deli sandwich: ISU Dining offers tons of veggies and choosing mustard or low-fat mayo for your spread will cut calories and fat.

Choose grilled options instead of fried options.

Create your own salad, load it up with vegetables and use a low-fat dressing.

Fruit, vegetables, baked chips and pretzels are always available as side choices.

Coffee Coffee is a must for college students, but it can be a definite diet killer, here are some easy switches to keep it healthy: Skip the whip to cut 100 calories and 10 grams of fat.

Order skim milk for any latte, mocha, or specialty beverage, and use skim milk instead of half and half for your brewed coffee.

Try sugar free syrups.

Always keep in mind that moderation is key.

Having a cookie or using mayo isn’t going to ruin a healthful diet, just watch your portion sizes and remember that eating should be fun.

For students who want extra help, Dining Services offers additional services. They have their own staff of registered licensed dietitians to help students make the best choices and provide nutrition education.

ISU Dining offers NetNutrition, which allows you to create meals online then view all the nutrition content. To view your favorite snacks and meals check out: netnutrition.dining.iastate.edu/NetNutrition/ Iowa State also created the Farm to ISU program in 2007. This program increased the universities purchases of local, organic, and alternatively produced agriculture products.

Looking for a

Lighter atte?

L Skip the whip! Save about 100 calories and 10 grams of fat right off the top!

Ask for skim milk in specialty beverages.

Try sugar-free syrups—all the flavor without the sugar!

If you like regularly-sweetened syrup, ask for half a shot to cut calories.

In brewed coffee, use skim milk instead of half and half.

ISU faculty recital features cello

By Vincent Geerts Ames247 Writer “Sonata for Solo Cello, Op 8â€? by ZoltĂĄn KodĂĄly is renowned for its profound use of cello techniques to produce an effect of several instruments instead of a single cello, which limits the number of times it performed. Iowa State’s George Work will perform this piece, as well as others, accompanied by several other ISU faculty in a recital at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 30.

Work, professor of music who instructs on cello and bass, said his ability comes from 46 years of experience.

After high school, Work left his hometown of Lincoln, Neb., to attend the Eastman

School of Music in Rochester, NY. There, Work trained rigorously to become a professional performer.

Upon graduation, Work took a position as an instructor at Iowa State. He says his decision was largely inuenced by the Ames Piano Quartet. “It was exactly the job I had envisioned when I was in school and before,â€? Work said.

Work joined the Ames Piano Quartet in 1981 and was met with success.

The quartet has since performed nationally and internationally, making appearances in Austria, France, Taiwan and Mexico, as well as releasing many recordings.

Sunday’s performance will be repeated in Des Moines at Drake University’s Sheslow Auditorium at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 2.

Avatar fans can prepare for sequel

By Mark Marino Special to CNN Get ready to journey back to Pandora! Filmmaker James Cameron is working on two follow-ups to the 2009 blockbuster “Avatar,� each due on

Christmases future. “I am in the process of writing the next two ‘Avatar’ ďŹ lms now,â€? Cameron revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “We are planning to shoot them together and post

them together, and we will probably release them not quite back to back, but about a year apart.

Christmas ‘14 and ‘15 is the current plan.� “Avatar� tells the story of a paraplegic marine (Sam

Worthington) who is sent on a mission to Pandora and ďŹ nds himself conicted after bonding with the native Na’vi people.

Cameron says fans of the original “Avatar� can expect to see a few familiar faces in the sequels.

MK digital series soon to be released

By Lisa Respers France CNN “Mortal Kombat� fans rejoice!

Warner Bros. has announced it’s developing a live-action digital series based on the best-sell-

ing video game franchise.

The series will be directed by Kevin Tancharoen, who is known for his popular unofficial fan short “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth,� which racked up more than 10 million views online.

Done in conjunction with the release of the upcoming “Mortal Kombat� video game, the digital series will take gamers deep into the history of warriors like Scorpion, Johnny Cage and Liu Kang.

The digital series will be available this spring through online digital retailers. Shooting will start in early February in Vancouver.

Warner Bros. is owned by the same parent company as CNN.

Lack of Oscar attention for superior work, acting surprises

By Breeanna Hare CNN It’s not surprising that “The King’s Speech� is up for a whopping 12 Oscars, or that the Academy has plenty of love for “The Social Network,� but there are quite a few names left off this morning’s Oscar nominations list that have some crying “snubbed!�

Nearly everyone is surprised that while three of Mark Wahlberg’s co-stars in “The Fighter� are nominated -Melissa Leo and Amy Adams

are dueling in the best supporting actress category while Christian Bale is nominated for best supporting actor -Wahlberg himself didn’t make the best actor category.

The same goes for Ryan Gosling, who was skipped over for a best actor nomination while his “Blue Valentine� co-star Michelle Williams is up for a best actress Oscar.

Paul Giamatti, fresh off his Golden Globe win for best actor in a comedy/musical for his “Barney’s Version� role, was also left out.

Among the actresses, some of you have noted that “Black Swan� stars Mila Kunis and Barbara Hershey are curiously missing from the best supporting actress nominations. Julianne Moore may have competed with Annette Bening for the best actress in a comedy/musical Golden Globe with her “Kids Are All Right� role but she won’t get the opportunity at this year’s Academy Awards.

And while “Inception� is nominated for best picture of the year, Christopher Nolan

didn’t make the cut in the best direction category, which sparked a fury of “where’s Nolan?!â€? outrage across the Web. (Let’s say you could replace one of the currently nominated directors with Nolan, though....who would it be?) “The Social Networkâ€? may have 8 Oscar nods, but none of them are for actors Andrew GarďŹ eld or Justin Timberlake, although a few of you aren’t surprised by that.

It’s also worth noting - as many of you point out - that

after the success of “Preciousâ€? at last year’s Academy Awards (winning both the best adapted screenplay Oscar and a best supporting actress statuette for Mo’Nique) the list of nominees this year is far less diverse. On the heels of Kathryn Bigelow taking the best direction Oscar and becoming the ďŹ rst woman to do so, this year’s direction category is all male.

Commentary

2011 Academy Awards predictions E

By Gabriel.Stoffa iowastatedaily.com

veryone has their version of the Oscar picks, ranging from well-informed to picking because of a name. I will come right out and say I have not seen all of the movies in every single category, and as such, part of my decisions come from speaking with my well-informed comrades that work daily in the film industry — yes, I am jealous of them.

If you would like to see the entire list of nominees, visit: http://www.oscars.org/ Without further adieu, my picks for the 2011 Academy Awards: Best picture: “Black Swan.” It was beautiful across the board. “The Social Network” will be a close second, as it is almost just as good allaround. And for those looking to “Inception” to win, don’t hold your breath; it was cool, but not top-notch.

Best performance by an actor: Colin Firth.

Portraying a real stutter is not easy to do. I hear Javier Bardem is a dark horse though.

Best performance by an actress: Natalie Portman. She has shown her acting chops and owned the role. I haven’t seen “Blue Valentine,” but I hear Michelle Williams was excellent, but I don’t expect an upset.

Best performance by a supporting actor: Geoffrey Rush. Is it just me, or is Rush just amazing in every role? Christian Bale could sneak in and grab this because of the transformations he makes in appearance, but I just don’t think he’ll pull it off.

Best performance by a supporting actress: Hailee Steinfeld. The opportunity to let a child-actor win is just too tempting.

Best director: Darren Aronofsky. As I mentioned, “Black Swan” was simply astounding, and Portman’s likely win is intertwined with Aronofsky’s style.

Best foreign language film: “Biutiful.” A lot

of praise has already been awarded, but then, I haven’t watched anything more than trailers for the foreign category this year.

Best film editing: Andrew Weisblum for “Black Swan.” Well, obviously I pick this.

Best documentary feature: I have no idea.

I honestly thought “Waiting for Superman” was going to take it, and it wasn’t even nominated.

Best animated: “Toy Story 3.” This isn’t even a competition.

Best visual effects: “Inception.” That movie looked really cool, and the transitions of movement in the free-fall scenes looked excellent.

Best original song: Tom Douglas, Troy Verges and Hillary Lindsey for “Coming Home,” from “Country Strong.” Nothing in this category really impressed me, this seemed like the best option.

Best original score: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross for “The Social Network.” Reznor is a modern-day Mozart.

Best cinematography: Matthew Libatique for “Black Swan” or Jeff Cronenweth for “Social Network,” I really cannot decide.

Best sound mixing: Jeffrey J. Haboush, Greg P. Russell, Scott Millan and William Sarokin for “Salt.” “Salt” has lots of guns and explosions that showcase good mixing.

Best sound editing: Skip Lievsay and Craig Berkley for “True Grit.” Honestly, I thought “Black Swan” should have been nominated, but sound was never my specialty in film work, so I could be way off.

Best costume design: Mary Zophres for “True Grit.” I’m a sucker for westerns, and the costumes looked great to me. I wouldn’t mind seeing Colleen Atwood win for “Alice in Wonderland,” as I like crazy outfits, but don’t pick “Alice” if you’re in a betting pool.

Best art direction: production design: Jess

“The King’s Speech” garnered 12 nominations, including Colin Firth for best actor in a leading role and Geoffrey Rush for best actor in a supporting role. Courtesy photo: Weinstein Company

Gonchor; set decoration: Nancy Haigh, for “True Grit.” As I said before, I love westerns and I may be biased. What will probably win is “The King’s Speech,” production design: Eve Stewart; set decoration: Judy Farr Best adapted screenplay: Joel Cohen and Ethan Coen for “True Grit.” A little bird told me Debra Granik and Anne Rosselinni for “Winter’s Bone” are well-situated though.

Best original screenplay: David Seidler for “The King’s Speech.” I read up on the history of the story, this story was some good.

Best makeup: Rick Baker and Dave Elsey for “The Wolfman.” It involved werewolves,

need I say more — yes some of them were CGI, but what isn’t these days.

Best short film live action; best documentary short subject; and best short film animated: I make it a point to catch all of these nominees in the few days leading up to the competition, so this is anyone’s guess right now.

Maybe my picks will change as Feb. 27 nears, after I’ve re-watched a few of the films.

I’ll update things if my picks change. Otherwise, good luck if you are involved in a betting pool as I am, or try your luck against the illustrious Roger Ebert. He is offering a $100,000 prize for some lucky schmuck that can out-guess him.

And the nominees are...

Actors react to nominations

By Breeanna Hare CNN Nicole Kidman and Geoffrey Rush have both nabbed Oscars before, but that doesn’t make this morning’s nominations any less sweet.

Rush, 59, was nominated in the best supporting actor category for his role in “The King’s Speech” whereas Kidman is up once again for a best actress Oscar.

“What an extraordinary journey this film has taken me on! ‘Rabbit Hole’ has been a labor of love and I’m so thankful to John Cameron Mitchell, David Lindsay-Abaire and the brilliant cast,” Kidman, 43, told CNN in a statement.

As for Rush, who played speech therapist Lionel Logue in the film, told CNN: “As an Australian, I’m as excited to be recognized and honored by the Academy as my character must have been when his London speech therapy business flourished when the future King Of England happened to pop by one day.”

Rush’s co-star Colin Firth, who is nominated for a best actor statuette, told CNN that he’s “currently celebrating with my colleagues three feet above the ground. Not used to this much joy, or this much champagne at this hour.”

Meanwhile, “King’s Speech” director and best directing nominee Tom Hooper added, “I am absolutely overwhelmed by the twelve Oscar nominations for ‘The King’s Speech.’ I am so grateful to the Academy.

I am incredibly proud of my extraordinary cast and crew.

This is a day I will remember for the rest of my life.”

Jeremy Renner, who was also nominated for an Oscar last year for his role in “The Hurt Locker,” told CNN that

he’s “truly overwhelmed with gratitude by this recognition by the Academy this morning.” And for “How to Train Your Dragon” writers/directors Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, this morning’s nominations for the best animated feature and best original score was an “unbelievable thrill and an honor,” Sanders told CNN. “I honestly couldn’t sleep last night in anticipation of the announcement,” Sanders added. “When I was a kid I watched the Oscars with my grandmother — we never missed a broadcast. I could never have imagined that as kid growing up in Colorado I would have a chance to be

a part of this amazing thing.

DreamWorks gave us a place where we were free to create

and pushed us to never ever stop short of the best we could do.”

Diversity in Hollywood not reflected in nominees

By Lisa Respers France CNN After the Academy Awards ceremony in 2010, there was a great deal of hope that the glass ceiling had finally been shattered in Hollywood.

“The Kathryn Bigelow” effect was coined by some industry observers who believed that her win for “The Hurt Locker,” the first Oscar for a woman director, would open doors of opportunity for females behind the camera. The riveting film “Precious” yielded a best supporting actress win for African-American performer Mo’Nique, and the first statuette for an African-American screenwriter in the best adapted screenplay category went to Geoffrey Fletcher.

But that was last year.

This year there was a decided dearth of diversity in the Oscar nominations. There are no women or people of color among the director nominees, and the acting nominees are all white. Javier Bardem, who is up for best actor for his role in “Biutiful,’ is a Spaniard and therefore European.

Which begs the question: Why in an era of ever increasing diversity among movie audiences is that not being reflected among the nominees for Hollywood’s most prestigious award?

It’s a complex issue that involves both supply and demand.

More focus has been put on actors of color and women this year because of their stellar performances last year. African-Americans snagged nine nominations last year and, in addition to Mo’Nique and Fletcher, Roger Ross Williams won the award for best documentary, short subject, for “Music by Prudence.”

But historically far fewer meaty dramatic roles, which are beloved by the academy, have been written for or awarded to actors of color, and women behind the camera are greatly outnumbered by men.

“The stories that we would really like to tell usually don’t get greenlit,” said Rocky Seker, a former creative developer for a director with Sony Pictures and now a film curator who runs Invisible Woman ... Black Cinema at Large.

“We’re just not taken seriously. It’s all a moneymaking issue.”

Both groups also find it difficult to break into the big-budget Hollywood films that garner the

attention to carry the momentum needed for nominations. Seker said she often comes across wonderfully made black independent films that just aren’t able to get big-studio backing or distribution deals.

While Debra Granik and Lisa Cholodenko have both received critical acclaim for their turns as directors of “Winter’s Bone” and “The Kids Are All Right,” respectively, their films did not enjoy the same media attention as “Black Swan” or “The Social Network,” whose male directors were nominated.

winning film “Crash” and president of Women In Film, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing sexual equality in filmmaking. She said that when there are 10 nominations for best film, but only five director nominees, invariably it means someone will be slighted.

“On the one hand, I am very encouraged to see that there are women sprinkled throughout most of the categories, with the continued strength as we’ve seen before in art direction, in music and in other areas that we have consistently seen a strength in,” Schulman said.

Baseball

Remembering an historic program

By Nate. Ryan iowastatedaily.com

It was the start of the Big 12 baseball tournament Thursday, May 17, 2001. Iowa State had runners on second and third base in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Baylor was up 5-4. ISU senior Rob Conway was up to bat.

There were hundreds, maybe thousands of fans cheering and stomping for a team that was fighting to put one more win in its 109-year history.

Conway hit a sharp ground ball to Baylor second baseman Trevor Mote. The ball took a hop and skipped off of Mote’s glove and into right field.

Pinch runner Beau Hampton was waved home. His head-first slide would beat the throw and the Cyclones defeated the Baylor Bears 6-5 to keep their final season alive.

The ISU baseball team and the rest of Cyclone nation was informed April 2, 2001, that the athletic department could no longer afford to have baseball and it, along with men’s swimming and diving, was to be cut.

Coach Lyle Smith would first hear the news

from an Ames Tribune reporter the night after his team finished taking two out of three games from a ranked Oklahoma State team.

“As a long time employee that had been loyal to the system, it was a real slap in the face,” Smith said.

After the Baylor game, Iowa State’s next contest was the following day against Oklahoma State. The Cyclones would get thumped, 17-4, closing the book on the program. The team walked off the field to a standing ovation from more than 8,000 fans.

Spencer Allen was a second baseman and senior captain in the final season.

“It was hard,” Allen said. “It hits you once you’re walking off the field.”

Allen remembered the great experience of playing baseball at Iowa State and competing in the Big 12 right up to that final out.

“We were all really close,” Allen said.

“From an athlete’s perspective, baseball was everything.”

Iowa State lost one of its oldest traditions

Women’s basketball

May 18, 2001, in Oklahoma City. The 2001 season brought more excitement to campus than ever imagined.

People didn’t want to see it end because they knew what it meant; baseball was gone from Iowa State.

An historic program An Iowa State Daily editorial published May 22, 2001, painted a picture of the Daily staff huddled around a radio listening to the Baylor game.

“Even in a newsroom filled with less-thanathletic journalists,” it read, “the spirit of baseball was alive.”

The ISU baseball program began in 1892, and it produced major league players such as infielder Mike Busch and pitchers Mike Myers and Don Wengert.

In 109 years, Iowa State held a record of 1,346 wins; 1,412 loses; and 17 ties.

No other school that made the Big 12 tournament in 2001 had played more seasons.

The program had College World Series appearances in 1957 and 1970, and the baseball program was once put at the top of the list like football and basketball are today.

Unfortunately, due to a $1.4 million budget shortfall, geographical placement, Title IX and a lack of competitiveness in the Big 12, there was no choice but to cut the program.

Looking back on the on the program, there have been mixed feelings about what could have been done.

Former player Spencer Allen recalls that his frustration at the time went without knowing the economic side of things. He now looks back as an adult and realizes the predicament the administration was in.

“I’m not bitter about it,” Allen said. “You wish it could still be around, but I understand it.”

Iowa State delivers from behind the arc

By Travis. J. Cordes Special to the Daily LINCOLN, Neb. — As with nearly all Bill Fennelly-coached teams, it’s a given that you’re going to get a healthy dosage of shots from behind the three-point line. So when his players shoot at a higher percentage from long distance than from the rest of the floor, they’re going to be awfully difficult to beat.

The ISU women’s basketball team sunk seven of its first 10 shots from behind the arc Wednesday night in Lincoln, Neb., and rode its hot shooting to an 85-66 victory over the Cornhuskers.

“You don’t win many road games in this league by 20 points,” Fennelly said. “Overall we probably played offensively better than we have in a long time. When you shoot 57 percent, you’re going to win games in this league or anywhere, and we haven’t seen that in a while.”

The team was 7-of-11 (63.6 percent) from

along range and 19-of-32 (59.4 percent) in the first half, and finished the game in similar fashion at 34-of-59 (57.1 percent) and 10-of-17 (58.8 percent).

Five different players knocked down a trey for No. 20 Iowa State (14-5, 2-3 in Big 12) in what may have been the team’s most balanced and prolific half of the season. The Cyclones scored 45 points and every player that touched the court was in the scorebook at halftime.

The numbers from three-point land were complimented well by Iowa State’s inside game, which gave the offense a dynamic array of scor-

Iowa State couldn’t overcome a flat start and poor outside shooting Wednesday, falling to Texas Tech at home 92-83.

The Cyclones (14-7, 1-5 in Big 12) slumped behind the arc for the second consecutive game, only knocking down 4-of-21 attempts and coach Fred Hoiberg’s team couldn’t out-hustle an experienced Red Raider (10-11, 2-4) team.

Track and field

Iowa State prepares to host Bill Bergan Invitational Multi-event will feature potential national qualiďŹ ers

By Clint. Cole iowastatedaily.com The ISU track and ďŹ eld team will be back at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center on Thursday, Friday and Saturday as it gets set to host the Bill Bergan Multi-Event and the Bill Bergan Invitational.

Iowa State will play host to Missouri, South Dakota, South Dakota State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, Marquette, the Minnesota men’s team and the Southern Methodist University women’s team. Thursday and Friday, the meet will feature combined events. “With the combined events starting tomorrow it’s just a different kind of event,� said ISU assistant coach Pete Herber. “It’s not like a normal track meet so it’ll be good to have a high-caliber event starting tomorrow.�

The Cyclones made a good showing Jan. 21 and 22 at the ISU Open, but will see better competition at the Bill Bergan Invitational. “The ďŹ eld includes some guys that really should be na-

tional qualiďŹ ers,â€? Herber said. “It’s going to be a pretty exciting couple of days here on Thursday and Friday.â€?

One of the athletes looking to step up his game is Josh Koglin. Koglin took ďŹ rst in the weight throw at the ISU Open but is looking to improve upon that. “I’m hoping to get a little better this week,â€? said Koglin, a redshirt senior. “I didn’t do as well last meet [the ISU open] as I did the ďŹ rst meet [the Holiday Preview].

Obviously it would be nice to get a huge throw and get the win, but me and the rest of the team are just trying to keep focus and keep improving with each throw.�

Also getting ready to throw this weekend are Danielle Frere and Laishema Hampton.

Assistant coach Grant Wall had a lot of good things to say about Frere and Hampton. “[Danielle Frere has] improved by almost three feet from last year,� Wall said. “She’s 15th on the national list and is doing really well. I think she’s got a chance to be in the national indoors with Laishema [Hampton].�

Frere came away from the ISU Open with the shot put title and Hampton with the weight throw title. Wall said he

is also optimistic about what the indoor season looks like for both women. “Laishema came in after break and came in right around her personal best,�

Wall said. “So I think they both have a great chance at indoor nationals..

Coach, senior duo lead team

By Kevin.Shay iowastatedaily.com While assistant coach Grant Wall literally leads the ISU men’s and women’s throw teams, senior Josh Koglin helps lead the men in competition.

What makes them most similar, though, is the fact that two years ago both were at Division-II Saginaw Valley State in Michigan when Wall was extended an offer to come coach at Iowa State. “I like it a lot here, the atmosphere is great being at a D-1 school,� Koglin said. “It’s a bigger school and a better stage to compete on, along with great facilities to use during practice.�

However, Koglin would not be attending Iowa State, in all likelihood, if it weren’t for Wall accepting an assistant coaching offer to lead the throws team. “The thing I like the most about ISU is I have the same coach here as I did [at Saginaw Valley],� Koglin said. “And that’s the main reason why I wanted to come, I like his coaching style and the fact that I get to work with him a lot here as I did there [at Saginaw Valley State].�

Koglin earned Division II All-America honors before coming to Iowa State with both an eighth-place ďŹ nish in the weight throw at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track and Field Championships, and an eighth-place ďŹ nish in the hammer throw at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Both of the high ďŹ nishes were under the watch of Wall, who believes that if Koglin continues to improve he could have a chance at becoming an All-American at the Division I level by season’s end. “I think he’s been doing great so far this year, and has had a pretty seamless transition from Saginaw D-II where he was a two-time AllAmerican,â€? Wall said. “He’s on the right track for where we want to be in order to be set-up for an outdoor nationals run as long as he takes it step-by-step.â€?

Koglin said he is a longshot to make the indoor championships in the weight throw, but believes he has a shot at making it to the outdoor championships in the hammer throw if he takes it slow. “I’m trying to get better at each meet,� Koglin said. “Even though I didn’t do as well as I hoped at the last meet [the ISU Open], I’m trying to just stay focused and trying to get better inch-by-inch with each throw.�

Even though Koglin didn’t do as well as he hoped last week, he still ďŹ nished ďŹ rst in the weight throw, and he credits Wall with not only helping him but the rest of the team as

well. “I deďŹ nitely think our team has gotten stronger since coach Wall has gotten here,â€?

Koglin said. “He’s helped with people getting stronger when they needed to, and in the right ways. And of course he’s helped with our techniques.�

But in the end, people only get stronger when they want to get stronger, which is why

Wall wanted Koglin to come to Ames with him. “When you come over here [from Saginaw Valley St.], you’ve still got something to prove,� Wall said. “And Josh feels that way, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to bring him here. He’s a bluecollar guy who’s always got a chip on his shoulder and wants to get better and improve himself.�

ing coach,” Allen said. “He was good to me as an individual. He was a good family guy and a straight shooter.”

Smith is now the executive director of the Sioux Empire Baseball Association in Sioux City, S.D. Allen has been named an assistant coach for the Washington State Cougars baseball team.

ting to be told the team wasn’t competitive enough. He felt there could have been some things done in order to keep them competitive, especially when it came to recruiting against Nebraska and schools in the south.

“We could compete with those people,” Smith said. “We had quality players.”

Smith made the comparison of showing recruits Cap Timm Field — now the home of the ISU baseball club at the Southwest Athletic Complex — compared to the facilities they were going to see at a Nebraska or Texas.

“If you don’t provide facilities that are equal to the other schools, how can you sell a Model T when everyone else is selling a Camaro?” Smith said.

Smith was challenged with leading his team through the rest of the season knowing there was no ‘next year.’ He told his players they could hold their heads high and play it out, or they could walk around with their heads somewhere else and pout.

“Well, they bought into the first and played very well,” Smith said. “That was probably the best year of coaching I’ve ever had.”

Smith said his players represented the university and, better yet, they represented themselves.

“I have all the admiration in the world for those guys,” Smith said. “It wasn’t easy, and they were an inspiration to some people.”

Smith had his own admirers, his players.

“Lyle was a very good pitch-

The economics of change Current ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard wasn’t surprised baseball didn’t exist at Iowa State when he arrived. He also expressed the great challenges the university would have of bringing back the program any time soon.

“There are some monumental up-front costs to make that decision,” Pollard said.

“Right now, it’s so unrealistic.”

Pollard rejects the accusation some have made that the state of Iowa is not a good enough to maintain a competitive baseball market.

“I wouldn’t say that,” Pollard said. “Our challenge is that it’s a huge disadvantage to be in a conference that has all south geographics.”

Iowa State is far from being the only school to lose its baseball team.

Northern Iowa’s baseball program was also the victim of budget cuts in 2009. UNI’s director of athletics, Troy Dannen, made the decision and announced it shortly after the 2009 season had begun.

Some say that athletic departments only care about football and basketball.

Dannen clearly expressed that programs aren’t cut just because they can be.

“Baseball was not eliminated because the university did not care for the program,” he said. “Caring and funding are two different things.”

Past athletic directors have also been accused of not attending sports other than football and basketball and that’s why it is so easy to cut them.

The truth is that it’s not easy to cut a program and it’s not all that easy to “make time” to attend events.

“It’s not even making time as much as it is you want to be there,” Pollard said. “We’re all in it together.”

and Vermont have dropped their baseball programs in the past two decades.

Prior to 2006 the CWS did not see a champion from the north since Ohio State in 1967.

Recently, competitive northern schools include Oregon and Oregon State, with Oregon State winning the championship in 2006 and 2007.

Despite the recent concerns, college baseball doesn’t seem to be going away as a whole anytime soon.

There have been proposed alternatives to make sure northern schools have hope of baseball surviving.

“Start the season in May or June and have the College World Series in August,” Shatel said. “Schools in the north would have the fighting chance to get recruits and crowds.”

This plan sounds ideal, but it could get complicated if put into place.

“Now you’re starting to get outside of the school year,” Pollard said. “It’s tough, it’s really tough.”

tention now that a more competitive college baseball program will be cut.

The University of California-Berkeley announced Sept. 28, 2010, it would eliminate baseball after the 2011 season. Cal won national championships in 1947 and 1957.

“When Cal drops baseball, that’s a red flag,” said Tom Shatel, a columnist for the Omaha World-Herald. “I would be concerned about a Pac-10 school dropping baseball.”

Daily Sudoku

Daily Horoscope : by Nancy Black and Stephanie Clements

Leo: Take A Deep Breath, Focus Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday (01/27/11). Give up the idea of â&#x20AC;&#x153;starving artist.â&#x20AC;? There are plenty of successful creatives in the world, and some of them make billions of dollars. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t measure your success by the balance of your checking account, but by the joy in your heart, your contribution to others and your peace of mind.

To get the advantage, check the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Be confident in following your instincts. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pointing you in the right direction, and you know it. This supports a previous plan.

Level: medium INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every number 1 to 9. For strategies on solving Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solution:

Thursday

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- You have big ideas and limited time. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distract others with your enthusiasm. Share whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so exciting over dinner, when they can listen.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 7 -- You wish you could ease into changes, but they may be abrupt. At least check how deep the water is before diving in.

Everything works out perfectly.

All you can eat taco buffet 11-3pm: $6.99 gets you all you can eat chicken, beef, pink (shrimp), fish and steak tacos

Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is an 8 -- The changes you have in mind provide fortunate circumstances for family and social contacts. Do the groundwork yourself, and ask for assistance later.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Old habits die hard, but todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good day to change things up. You may feel some stress but see future opportunities everywhere. Dive in!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- If you rush too fast to complete something, you may hurt yourself.

Communicate the need for extra time.

Take a deep breath, focus on the task at hand and take it slow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- Reorganize your space to accommodate individual needs. Let each person choose decorating colors or new arrangements. A little paint goes a long way.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- You want to make significant changes, and a partner offers creative suggestions. The first step may seem painful, but stress relaxes as you move.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 7 -- An emotional release leaves you feeling cleansed by the tide. Put a great new idea into practice as soon as you can. The results are virtually immediate.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- Team members need to draw creative threads together to finalize a project. If someone else takes charge, that works better for you. Relieve stress with treats.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is an 8 -- A personal habit could get in the way of creative communication. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to come up with all the ideas yourself. Group members contribute.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Later in the day you feel fulfilled.

Change was managed with little stress, and new opportunities open as a result.

Stay in the flow.

Fennelly said it had been quite some since he had seen his team play such a complete game offensively during Big 12 play.

“We had great balance,” Fennelly said. “Every kid that played scored and we only turned the ball over 12 times in a game played at a pretty good pace. We’ve lived and died so much lately with

Kelsey Bolte carrying us that the last game we played we had four baskets in the post.

Tonight we were obviously much, much better.”

Bolte is now the only player in the Big 12 that has scored 20 points or more in all five conference games, averaging 24 points in that stretch.

The assertive win ended a two-game skid for the Cyclones, who had the most points during regulation in a conference game since their 86-71 win over Colorado in Boulder on Jan 21, 2006. Iowa State now moves on to face Missouri (10-10, 2-4) at 2 p.m.

“They did a lot of switching with any screen,” Garrett said.

“It’s hard for anybody when you’ve got a team like we do that shoots a lot of threes ... and them denying that kind of startled us. We’re just gonna have to get back to practice tomorrow and just get after it.”

Iowa State unable to steer out of skid

By Chris. Cuellar iowastatedaily.com It certainly wasn’t a pretty game for Iowa State, but rising up out of the cellar is rarely clean.

Missing three-pointers they normally make and allowing a sub-.500 team to dictate the pace, the Cyclones couldn’t find a spark in a battle of lastplace teams. Wednesday’s 92-83 loss to Texas Tech may mean more than just another tally in the loss column.

“I don’t know what the key is right now, but at some point you’ve got to take a stand,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg.

Just three weeks removed from a seven-game winning streak, Iowa State has faced strong and physical adversity in the Big 12 and sits at the bottom of the standings. Texas Tech’s 54.7 percent shooting and Mike Singletary’s 33 points on 18 shots were just by-products that left the team questioning where to go next.

The Cyclones shot just 19 percent from deep.

“They really like to drive you and have you over-help and kick it for three,” said TTU coach Pat Knight. “We figured we’d rather give up twos than threes.”

The squad and coaching staff all agreed it was an important week, with Texas Tech and Oklahoma, two teams Iowa State could beat to rise back into the Big 12 race. After allowing a season-high 92 points, including 55 in the second half, it’s unclear what the next move is with the young team.

“You talk about taking away the three-point line, we scored 83 points,” Hoiberg said. “You should win a game when you score 83 points.”

Singletary’s domination inside wasn’t reserved for just the Cyclones, as the senior for-

ward has been known to go off with big scoring performances. It just further proved Iowa State’s problem’s with physical players in the paint. Hoiberg’s squad allowed 44 points in the painted area and Tech shot 62.5 percent from the field in the second half.

“That’s unacceptable, you cannot allow that to happen,” Hoiberg said. “We’ve got to find a way to attack from the beginning. We were jogging to our spots on offense, it just wasn’t there. It’s beyond me how it can’t be after having two big losses.”

The Red Raiders learned on film that they could slow down the Cyclones’ outside shooting with their length, and it caused mayhem in the back-court.

“We wanted to make them drive, we didn’t want them getting any threes up, they’re good three point shooters,” said TTU forward D’walyn Roberts.

After the game, Hoiberg was animated and upset with his team’s performance.

“We came out without any energy, that’s very disappointing to me,” Hoiberg said. “I put it on myself. We’re going to get after it tomorrow. The next couple days, we’re going to get after it. These guys need to be held more accountable and I put that on me.”
