Cyclones top Sooners By Jordan Wickstrom Daily Staff Writer It has been a long time coming, but the No. 21 Cyclones can say they walked off the court against Oklahoma a winner. With a mere one win against the No. 11 Sooners since 2004, it is no secret the past few seasons have been rough for the Cyclones against Oklahoma. “We’ve had a lot of trouble beating Oklahoma for a lot of reasons,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “When you play Oklahoma you play a team that’s well coached, very talented and the definition of class and I think it’s not just win-
ning a game against a really good team, it’s winning a game against people who [play the game] the right way.” Offensively the Cyclones could not have asked for a better first half. Iowa State made up for its 37.5 field goal percentage by shooting 54.5 from beyond the arc, making six of its 11 3-point attempts. Despite the hot shooting from 3-point range, it was obvious the Cyclones would not need the three-point shot in the second half. With three players entering the second half in foul trouble, Oklahoma struggled to find the right match up against freshman center
Anna Prins. “[Oklahoma’s] post players were in foul trouble so obviously it was a key to take it to them,” Prins said. The 6–foot–7–on freshman had 15 points, her highest point total in conference play this season. Prins did make some mistakes during the game, however, the way she played in the post against some of Oklahoma’s bigger players received praise from Fennelly. “[Prins] had 15 points but there were shots she needs to finish better. She’s got to rebound the ball a little bit better, but

Brewing appreciation By Justine Scattarelli Daily Staff Writer A group of Iowa State students are attempting to bring knowledge and appreciation back into drinking through a proposed university organization — ISU Brewing Club. Matt Nosco, sophomore in prejournalism and mass communication, was introduced to home brewing about a year ago. Since then Nosco has
brewed several batches of beer and soda. Nosco said brewing increases his appreciation of the beverage. “Instead of cooking a pizza, you’re making a gourmet meal,” he said. As interest grew, he and his friend Charlie Nelson, ISU student and president of the brewing club, decided to try to make their hobby into an official club through the university. Nosco said there are similar clubs
at the University of Illinois, University of Wisconsin at Madison and Clemson University. Nosco said when he and Nelson submitted their idea to the Student Activities Center the response was positive. However, the board didn’t approve the club immediately due to potential legal problems involving members under 21. The proposal is still pending. Nosco said George Micalone, the
director of student activities, requested the group draft a constitution and explain how the club would benefit Iowa State. A big part of the club’s constitution would be a plan to ensure members under 21 wouldn’t consume alcohol at official club events. The group plans to meet at Olde Main Brewery in downtown Ames and have the restaurant’s

ISU researchers contributed to efforts that reveal how the deadly Ebola virus functions inside the body. “What we’re hoping is that the information we provided will help catalyze antiviral efforts,” said Gaya Amarasinghe, assistant professor of biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology and leader of the ISU research team. The Ebola virus is prevalent in equatorial regions of Africa. The Zaire species of the virus, found to be the most deadly and most often studied, is what was used in this latest

research. No vaccine has been developed to treat the Ebola hemorrhagic fever. The fever breaks out after a victim is infected with the virus, according to the World Health Organization. The Ebola virus has the ability to replicate without triggering the host’s immune response. Amarasinghe identified the structure of Ebola’s viral protein 35, or VP35, which contributes to its ability to circumvent detection. “What was not known until recently was how the immune

Gov. Chet Culver released his proposal for the state’s FY2011 budget Wednesday afternoon, and included a reallocation of just under $11 million in funds to Iowa State that were cut in the governor’s mid-fiscal year 10 percent cut of the state government. In a statement released by Executive Director of University Relations John McCarroll on Wednesday evening, President Gregory Geoffroy praised the governor for recognizing the “severe impact” the budget cuts have had on the university and said he would hope the state Legislature would follow suit in endorsing the governor’s proposal. Board of Regents President David Miles also praised the governor for proposing to restore public higher education funding in a statement released earlier in the day. According to the governor’s proposal, Iowa State’s state appropriations would total $7.65 million less than FY2010’s estimated appropriations. Follow the story online, at iowastatedaily.com.
State of the Union
Obama focuses on jobs By Alexander Hutchins Daily Staff Writer President Barack Obama’s State of the Union drew audible yelling on 15 occasions during the deliver of his speech. Some of the yelling was cheers of elation, and some were audible boos. The president promoted a litany of new programs including a three-year freeze on most government spending beginning in 2011, a job bill to employ 1.5 million Americans by the year’s end, build a new national rail system, pass a climate bill and continue the passage of the heath care bill. On several occasions the Republican legislators remained seated while democrats gave the president a standing ovation. Obama also announced that he would soon endeavour to begin monthly meetings with both Democratic and Republican leaders. President Obama ended his speech with a long appeal to the assembled legislators to set aside partisan divisions. One of the most startling revelations Obama announced was a proposition to forgive debt for college students 20 years after graduation and after only 10 years if they entered careers in the government. Obama concluded with the admission that his administration deserved some of its setbacks, but he promised no to give up on his efforts for genuine change in government.

GSB Senate lobbies against budget cuts
Professor influences revision
By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer The Government of the Student Body is preparing to go to Des Moines on Feb. 4 to meet with Iowa’s Legislature. GSB members will be stressing the importance of keeping cuts to education equitable and making the legislatures keep in mind what the cuts are doing to the Universities, GSB President Jon Turk said. Turk reminded the Senate that the levels of Iowa’s state budget are the same as they were in 2004, and that the budget of the regents institution is equal to what it was back in 1997. The GSB will also be lobbying against Senate Bill 33, which would remove IT services from the regent institutions in the State of Iowa, said Turk. The removal of IT services would eliminate the choice the university would have in e-mail providers, and for technology support students would have to call Des Moines. Turk also mentioned an email he received from the Iowa Board of Regents President David Miles that said Gov. Chet Culver is calling for the restoration of $31 million to the public university funds. This money would go to the three state universities and the school for the deaf and school for the blind. The Board of Regents will meet Feb. 4 to finalize next year’s tuition. Turk said that he has been told the way the 6 percent increase for next year has been written it is possible that it could change at the end of the legislative session in March if need be. Finance Director Tom Danielson said that the GSB will have about $14,000 less than last year for regular allocation funding for the 2010–2011 fiscal year. The Varsity Task Force gave the third and final presentation on the plans for possibly leasing the old Varsity Theater on Lincoln Way. The task force showed some statistics from some recent GSB

surveys. The surveys showed that 65.2 percent of students would like to see a movie theater close to campus even if it means cutting into their student activity fees. Anthony Maly, a member of the task force, said that most of the feedback they received was positive. A new club on campus, the Iowa State Winterguard, asked for $5,733.40 for startup funding. Maria Bock, president of the Winterguard, said she is hoping to purchase flagpoles, flags and other necessary items. The idea comes from members of the ISU Color Guard that performs with the marching band at football games. Usually the color guard only has one week between shows during the fall semester to teach new routines, Bock said. The group would be open to everyone, but would be teaching harder stunts such as spinning rifles, sabers and adding dance moves to its routines, Bock said. Bock also said the color guard has been talking to representatives at Boone and Nevada High Schools to possibly perform at basketball games, and is looking to possibly perform with the drum line during Veishea. Several representatives from the ISU Railroad Club were in attendance while asking for $700 to take a trip by railway to Sacramento, Calif. The group was planning on harvesting corn to be able to pay for the trip, but said they were replaced by machines. Tyler Albuagh, a new liberal arts and sciences senator, suggested to the university affairs committee to put in a stop sign in the southeast corner of Frederiksen Court. Luke Roling, head of the committee, mentioned speeding problems that have been happening in Frederiksen Court and said the committee could be for this suggestion as it would make the area safer for pedestrians.
Helen Jensen, a professor of economics at Iowa State and head of the Center for Agriculture and Rural Development of the Food and Nutrition Policy Division, contributed to the revision and recommendation process as the focus of dietary guidelines changed for the Institute of Medicine for the Nutritional Standards for National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs. These new meal requirements and standards will affect elementary and secondary education levels, but the implications could also influence nutritional decisions later in life, such as for college students. The program is funded by the USDA, and they are hoping to get the recommendations out sometime this summer as the program revisions are being shown a great deal of interest. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans are published every five years, and gives advice on healthy eating habits for those two years of age and above to prevent risk of chronic diseases and promote health. National Standards and Meal Requirements were last revised in 1995, and since then the Dietary Guidelines for Americans have made many changes and acquired new information about nutrition and science. Standards for the program were first targeted to address nutrient deficiencies and underconsumption. The standards include caloric minimums and essential nutrients. Since then, child obesity has become a major concern in the United States. “When standards were first written, children weren’t getting enough to eat, but today we have a problem with child obesity,” Jensen said. “As a result, we are suggesting a range, with a minimum and a maximum amount of calories. The recommended maximum is somewhat near what the old minimum standard was.” Jensen said that in regard to old nutrient deficiency stan-

suppression worked,” he said. Amarasinghe collaborated with Christopher Basler of Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in New York City, to discover how VP35 suppresses immune responses. Mina Farahbakhsh, senior in biochemistry, and graduate student Parameshwaran Ramanan assisted with the research that has been published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. The research team used non-infectious VP35 protein to identify Ebola’s protein-RNA structure. The next step was to identify how the protein functioned. Cells in the body have evolved ways to protect against infection, Basler said. The Ebola virus is able to produce VP35, which binds to viral RNA and allows it to replicate without being detected by the host’s immune system. “Ebola virus encodes VP35 protein to specifically block that immune response,” Basler said. Identification of the structure and function of the Ebola virus VP35 protein may now lead to development of antivirals and additional treatments. “We can better understand how this function contributes to the lethality of the virus,” Basler said. If the protein’s function is critical for disease, scientists may be able to develop a drug to target and knock out that function. VP35 is found in species of Ebola virus and Marburg virus. Both originated in Africa and are part of the Filovirus family. However, the VP35 structural and functional information can allow researchers to compare and contrast it with other viruses. The information provided by Amarasinghe and his ISU research team will enable other scientists to collaborate and investigate viral functions and potential anti-viral drug developments. “The biggest thing I think for us was that we were able to do that with a combination of students and senior graduates,” Amarasinghe said.
dards, the dietary guidelines show less concern on specific nutrients and more imJensen portance in the variety of food groups consumed such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains versus the requirements listing Vitamin A, Vitamin E and so on. Sodium is one of the biggest concerns being addressed in school lunches. Many schools use processed foods and cheese high in sodium, so the issue of addressing excess sodium will be complex. According to the National Academy Press, the two school meal programs can make a great impact because they may provide more than 50 percent of a student’s food and nutrient intake on school days. “A lot of eating and nutritional choices are based on patterns and exposure. I think that having more exposure to fruits, vegetables, beans and so on will help children and adolescents begin to eat a better variety of healthy foods,” Jensen said. “Regarding implications of the standards and meal requirements on a college level, I think the idea is to build a better experience in school meals in elementary and high school. Therefore students are more open to the variety that’s offered in a university setting.” At Iowa State, ISU Dining faculty and staff try to assist the transition from going to what you may call a “bad school lunch” to a fun, healthy dining experience. Although universities don’t have a standard meal program, there is a program called The National Association of College and University Food Science that gives colleges and universities opportunities such as education, training and industry research on nutrition. ISU’s executive chef, Everett Phillips, attends NACUFS, where individuals discuss nutrition, trends, what stu-

dents are eating and how to make those items healthier. “One of my big things is how to make the same food, but make it healthy,” Phillips said. Phillips went into detail about some of the ways he makes the food that college students love, but makes them healthier by substituting and using healthier ingredients such as trans-fat free oil, butter instead of margarine, trans-fat free cookies and a conscious effort in reducing the sodium content. Dining Services also try to buy as organic, whole and fresh as possible. At Seasons they have installed an H20 station with infused fruit, and soft serve yogurt in addition to soft serve ice cream for students. “Things are not bad for you in moderation, but when you get something to eat that you really like, chocolate for example, people tend to run with it,” Phillips said. There is also a program being executed in Seasons right now called the Just in Time program. The program is structured so that when you choose your food, it’s made fresh, it’s plated and it’s portioned so that students can see how much a portion really is. The Just in Time Program will also be put into action when Oak/Elm reopens, and then initiated at the Union. The ISU Dining Web site is also a great resource for students to get information and ask questions about the food on campus. There you can find menus from the different places to eat, nutritional values from the nutrition link and contact information to receive
addition information and ask questions if necessary. “College students are going through a development stage when they enter college,” Phillips said. “The transition stage from high school lunches to a college or university dining setting can be overwhelming especially when you don’t grow up eating a variety of foods. If you eat terrible when you’re younger, you’re most likely going to eat terrible when you’re older as well.” Casey Crozier, a sophomore in agronomy, remembers his school lunch back home being “very limited both in the variety and amount of food offered.” “I don’t think it will make that much of a difference because there are only a small amount of people who watch what they eat and care about being healthy,” Crozier said. The majority of people will continue to eat and how much regardless.” Crozier said that eating in college has been a much better experience than his old school lunch. “Here there are so many healthy options to choose from and enough to actually fill you up,” Crozier said. Judith Trumpy, program coordinator for campus dining services, said, “Years ago, this country had problems with cigarettes, and we took a strong approach on that and have made huge progress. Then, we took sodas out of the vending machines and pretty soon you’re drinking water. Hopefully with the new standards for the National School Lunch and Breakfast program, we can accomplish something very similar.”

Student recounts time Core courses combine spent in Swansea, Wales By Whitney Sager Daily Staff Writer
By John Lonsdale Daily Staff Writer In the middle of Swansea, Wales — a city just shy of a quarter of a million people — Joe Cossette, senior in mechanical engineering, is studying abroad at Swansea University. About half the size of Iowa State, Swansea is where Cossette will be for the remainder of the semester. Living in a student village similar to that of Frederiksen Court, Cossette is the only American living in a house of 10 other students. Within such close proximity, Cossette finds himself living in somewhat of a family situation with the way everything is set up. Unlike Ames, the weather in Swansea hasn’t produced any cruel ice storms or blizzards yet — just maybe an inch of snowfall. The walk from his house to campus is 40 minutes. Cossette says he doesn’t mind the long walk because the weather hasn’t been that bad yet — above freezing. “I found out that the British aren’t exactly prepared for winter weather, so the entire city basically shut down with an inch of snowfall,” Cossette said. Right on the coast, Swansea students are able to see the ocean from campus. Close to

three hours away from London, Cossette plans on doing quite a bit of traveling while he’s there. Approximately 1,200 students have chosen to participate in the study abroad program through Iowa State during the 2009 fiscal year. With the most popular study abroad country being Italy, there are numerous other countries that students are able to visit ranging from France, Australia, Spain, Chile, the Netherlands and Ireland. Taking place on Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union, the study abroad fair is open from 11: – 2 p.m. On- and off-campus exhibitors will be promoting the summer and fall programs where students will be able to interact and converse with them from each of the campus programs and departments. With programs such as service learning, work and volunteer abroad, the Peace Corps, the fair and Study Abroad Center offers more than just the study abroad program. Many off-campus exhibitors, or affiliates, will be at the fair for those who are interested in some programs that Iowa State doesn’t offer, such as Pro-World, which does service learning. Jenny Metzger, graduate as-
sistant in the study abroad office and fair coordinator, says the fair provides a lot of information for many great opportunities. “There are students who will be working at the tables that have studied abroad, and it’s a really great place for students who are just interested to get information and get to talk to someone about it,” Metzger said. A little more than a year ago, Devon Bilsing, junior in history, attended the study abroad fair. Walking up to Ireland’s table, he immediately saw the poster and the “fantastic pictures” and knew he wanted to study there. Due to his inability to speak other languages as well as English, Bilsing was happy he would be understood and get the chance to travel Europe. Studying abroad the spring semester of 2009, Bilsing studied German and international business while in Ireland. Also living in campus accommodations similar to Frederiksen Court, he studied at University College Cork in Cork, Ireland. “I was able to learn a lot of things I wouldn’t have gotten the opportunity to in Iowa,” Bilsing said. “I really learned how things function over a global basis. It really gave me a whole new perspective of the world.”
age drinking, and the nature of home brewing deters irresponsible drinking. “It’s something you painstakingly create over a course of a month or two or three months,” Nosco said. “You’re not making this to just go get hammered. This is something you’re putting time and effort into to enjoy and enjoy responsibly.” The first step in the process of brewing beer is to steep the grains. The brewer decides on the amount of malt and hops to add to the beer to create a specific taste. After the grains are steeped
to a certain temperature, the liquid is stored in a large glass container. It is stored there for anywhere from a week to a month. The liquid is then transferred into another glass container where it is stored for a time and then bottled. Nosco said the brewing process is applicable to areas of Iowa State’s curriculum including chemistry and molecular biology. “Even agriculture, with all the wheat that’s going into it. It has a really relevant barring here,” Nosco said. The club would not limit
College of Business students now have one less business core class to take. Supply chain management 301X is the class resulting after the combination of operations and supply chain management 320 with logistics and supply chain management 360. This semester is the first time business students can take the combined course. The reason for the conjoining of these two core classes is that the operations and logistics parts of supply chain management are changing. “It’s mostly due to the natural evolution of what supply chain management has become,” said Bobby Martens, assistant professor of logistics operations and management information systems and one of the instructors of SCM 301X. “These two areas have really come together as one disciplinary area. And our merging of these two classes together is really a way of merging those two areas and being at the forefront of what is happening in the industry.” Martens said a committee consisting of faculty from both the logistics and operations areas came together to decide what the new class should consist of. “We have it set up to be a pretty solid class where students will get the right material that they need that is really up to date with what’s going on in the industry and the world to be able to help them succeed when they leave here,” Martens said. For students, the new class means they have three fewer credits required for business core classes. “I was just happy I only have to take three credits instead of six,” said Lacey Gray, junior in marketing.

Jeff Irvin is the head brewer at Olde Main Brewery in downtown Ames. Irvin said he plans to help the club by donating supplies, lining up speakers and giving advice about the club’s finished products. Irvin hopes to share his passion for brewing and is willing to help out the club any way he can. “It’s something I’m really

said some business students did not look forward to taking OSCM 320 because it tends to be a quantitative class. The newly formed class provides a new version of what was taught in OSCM 320. “It gives a wide flavor, so it’s not as quantitative as OSCM, but introduces students to important things they’ll need when they graduate,” Watson said. One of the benefits of the class is that recordings of the lecture are posted online. This allows students who miss a class to have access to what was taught that day. “I like being able to hear the recordings online,” Jacob Kotz, junior in management, said. Students who have already taken either OSCM 320 or LSCM 360 may still have the opportunity to take the other course, or they can take the new class. “After the summer of 2010, 320 and 360 will no longer be offered,” said Ann Coppernoll, director of the College of Business undergraduate program. So far, the new class seems to be going well for both the professors and the students. “Like with any class, I’m sure there will be adjustments down the road,” Martens said.
looking forward to ... getting a whole new generation excited,” Irvin said. Jared Meisinger, a sophomore in pre-journalism and mass communications, plans to join the club. He said trying new microbrews has increased his enthusiasm for beer. Meisinger said he’s fascinated with the technique of brewing and dreams of one day starting his own bar and microbrewery like Olde Main. Although he has tried brewing before, Meisinger admitted he needs work. He looks to Nosco and the potential future club
to further his knowledge. Irvin said he has recently seen an increased interest in brewing in Iowa. There are currently 19 breweries in Iowa, about twice as many as when he began brewing at Olde Main about five years ago. “Consumers are looking to broaden their horizons,” Irvin said. Nosco agreed. “It’s really a movement that’s picking up all around the country and I think it’d be great for students at Iowa State to be on board,” Nosco said.

Budget cut includes money for schools By Mike Glover Associated Press Writer DES MOINES — Gov. Chet Culver on Wednesday sent the Legislature a $5.3 billion state budget that maintains a 10 percent spending cut that he imposed last month but includes more money for schools. “We have taken steps to anticipate the current economic downturn and still meet our commitment to education, health care and public safety,” Culver said in a statement accompanying the spending plan. Culver’s proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning July
1 includes savings of $341 million identified by a consultant hired by the governor. It also cuts $52.5 million from tax credits, although alternative energy programs would be protected. “Our efforts to reform tax credits should hold harmless the current programs that make the state more energy efficient,” Culver said. The tax credit issue flared last year when it was discovered that tax credits designed to lure the movie industry to the state had been abused, prompting a long look at all such credits that the state issues. The proposed 2011 budget
of increasing property taxes to make up the difference. As he pledged in his Condition of the State speech, Culver also dips into the state’s reserves to find an additional $100 million for elementary and secondary schools. The governor’s spending plan also includes $150 million for the job-creation measure he pushed through the Legislature last year, and another $25 million as part of a four-year plan he pushed to expand the state’s alternative energy industry. The budget also includes $16.3 million for a plan approved by the Legislature expanding health
is a little more than the current $5.29 billion budget, but Culver noted it’s $64 million less than the 2007 spending plan, reflecting a lingering recession that’s dried up state tax collections. Key education proposals include spending $2.4 billion on basic state aid to local schools for the school year beginning in September, and fully funding a 2 percent budget increase for those districts approved by the Legislature last year. In past budget crunches, the state has allowed local school district budgets to grow, but not paid for all the increase. That has left schools with the option
care insurance to most Iowa children. The governor said his budget for next year would have a $117.3 million surplus and would leave $265.2 million in cash reserves. “We are confident that our department directors will successfully manage their departments and agencies within this tight budget,” Culver said. His spending plan also increases Corrections Department spending by $25 million “in order to avoid layoffs within the department,” Culver said. Prison officials had said the governor’s across-the-board spend-
ing cut could force big layoffs of prison guards, leaving those remaining at risk. Culver’s budget management will undoubtedly be a central theme in his re-election campaign this year. His potential Republican challengers have criticized his performance as Iowa had endured the recession and seen unemployment remain higher than 6 percent. That’s far below the 10 percent national figure but the worst in Iowa in decades. The governor hasn’t formally announced he’ll run, but has made clear he wants a second term.
Fundraising
Iowa Legislature
Democratic Senate candidate Conlin raises more than $600K
Bill to put cameras into work zones meets resistance
By Mike Glover AP Political Writer DES MOINES — Democrat Roxanne Conlin claimed fundraising success Wednesday, reporting she has raised more than $600,000 in the opening weeks of her bid to oppose Republican U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley. The Des Moines attorney and 1982 Democratic gubernatorial nominee is the most widely known of three Democrats seeking to face Grassley as he runs for a sixth Senate term. Conlin said she’d received contributions from 1,649 donors, 85 percent of whom are Iowans. Conlin said she’d held to
a campaign promise not to accept money from political action committees or “Washington lobbyists,” and she noted 1,443 of the donations were for less than $250. In a statement, Conlin said she raised $603,575 between Nov. 2 and the end of the year, with $502,832 in the bank. “I am humbled to have received support from all across Iowa — from Burlington to Des Moines to Sioux City,” Conlin said. Candidates have until the end of the month to file contribution reports for the fourth quarter of last year. Neither of the other Democratic candidates — former legislators Tom Fiegen and Bob Krause — had submitted reports.
Conlin, the former head of the Iowa Democratic Party, is expected to raise far more money than her party rivals. At the end of September, Fiegen reported having $518 in savings and Krause had $3,492. If she wins the Democratic nomination in the June primary, Conlin has said she won’t be able to match Grassley’s fundraising ability. He has yet to file his fourth quarter figures but reported having $4.4 million in campaign reserves at the end of September. Grassley’s seat on the Senate Finance Committee and his long tenure in Congress almost certainly will give him a financial edge over any of the Democrats.

Palin:
ISU alumnus’s argument lacks sufficient thought In a recent online column, ISU alumnus Paul Shirley questions the validity of foreign aid currently pouring into Haiti. Our problem isn’t Mr. Shirley’s message — everyone should question where their money goes — but, rather, the tone he used to present his argument. Well, Mr. Shirley, we called a special editorial board meeting and in 28 minutes of deliberation, we dissected your argument and created a list of 5 things you neglected. 1. You failed to assess, or even mention, the country’s history: The column misses the mark by failing to address, or even mention, Haiti’s troubled past. He does mention the inhospitable natural location of Haiti when he said, “It was a great idea to put 10 million people on half of an island. The place is routinely battered by hurricanes ... it holds the aforementioned title of poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, and it happens to sit on a tectonic fault line.” But where do you expect 10 million people to go? Haiti was established in 1697 — 21 years before New Orleans was founded. Yet, we rebuilt New Orleans. California is a bankrupt, flood-ridden, wildfire-plagued, mud slide waiting to happen that straddles a fault line, yet nearly one–sixth of the U.S. population calls that mess home. We can’t even decide what to do with a few hundred inmates at Guantanamo bay! Where, Mr. Shirley, should these people go? 2. You villanized the wrong people: The leaders, both of Haiti and the world are at fault. The citizens are simply victims of their own circumstance. We allowed a nation with more people than the Chicago metro area to suffer in extreme poverty for a century. As a society, we cannot simply wait for disaster to strike before we provide aid. 3. You fail to mention appropriate technologies or micro-loans: Currently, programs exist that aim to help developing nations help themselves. Our well-educated populace has the capacity to produce lowtech solutions, like pre-fabricated housing and low-cost stoves, that could improve the quality of life for millions of people. Using aid money for micro-loans (on the order of $25 – $50) could help the people of Haiti buy tools and animals that increase their ability to produce for themselves. Yet, Mr. Shirley instead insinuates that money sent to Haiti is doomed to disappear forever. 4. You sound like a kid crying on Christmas: Regardless of the validity of Mr. Shirley’s points, the tone is all wrong. He is a smart, well-educated man, in a wealthy, developed nation saying that the people of Haiti should have helped themselves instead of allowing a natural disaster to wipe out more than one percent of their population. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how right you are. It’s hard to tastefully criticize people when looking down from the top, and we firmly believe that Mr. Shirley didn’t mean to sound pompous. However, for all the things he said, he left far too many things unsaid. 5. There’s absolutely no assessment of the current situation, or prediction of impeding needs: His largest mistake was allowing his voice to go to waste. Rather than presenting a well-structured argument with individual and societal alternatives, he rants about how stupid Haiti is for being poor. Shirley’s good points and good facts are clouded by poor presentation. Paul Shirley is a functional, human adult with a functional, human adult brain. Further, he had the ability to change minds and hearts while providing a valuable service. Too bad he didn’t.

Bristol Palin has found herself under the media’s scrutiny after her recent pledge of abstinence before marriage. Bristol held her ground on the Oprah show stating “sexual abstinence is a realistic goal” for teens. Courtesy photo: PromotionsForLife.com
Applaud abstinence decisions Rather than skepticize, encourage teenagers’ decision to not have sex
I
t’s usually her mother who’s making the headlines, but last week Bristol Palin found herself under the media’s microscope and seemingly endless scrutiny for the comment she made on an episode of “Oprah” in which she vowed, in front of millions, to remain abstinent until marriage. Bristol is famous for not only being the daughter of one-time vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, but also for becoming pregnant while still in high school. Now the 19 year–old mother to son, Tripp, Bristol has campaigned for young teens to choose abstinence over safe sex before marriage to avoid making the same mistake she did. Palin’s comment spurred “Good Morning America” to produce a short segment questioning whether premarital sexual abstinence is a realistic goal for teens. Oprah doesn’t seem to think so, as she seemed to try and prod Bristol Palin into admitting that perhaps making such a bold statement was setting herself up for failure. When Palin stood by her word, Oprah sarcastically responded with, “Good luck,” followed by laughter from her studio audience. Perhaps Oprah has reason to doubt Palin’s sincerity since at one point the girl did refer to abstinence as “not realistic at all.” And as “Good Morning America” told its viewers, in a study done by Columbia University in which 12,000 teens vowed to remain celibate, 88 percent of those teens broke their pledge. Parenting expert Ann Pleshette
Julia deLutio
is a sophomore in animal ecology from Chicago.
Murphy told “Good Morning America” that she believes the number of teens who break abstinence pledges is so high because when many teens pledge to remain virgins until marriage they do it in a classroom or other group setting, often feeling pressured by their peers to make the pledge. But what about the thousands of teens across America who do pledge to stay abstinent until marriage and mean it? What about the teens who don’t wait until they get pregnant to make that pledge? A 2002 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 54 percent of high school students are virgins. So still, more than half of the United States’ teens are waiting to have sex. I believe that it is only fair to give recognition to those teens that do make that sincere vow for themselves and not because they feel pressured into it. While I commend Bristol Palin for promoting abstinence, it’s disheartening to know that the American media does not seem to be able to take teenage abstinence seriously. It is also a bit discouraging to know that only after Palin became a teen mother did she decide that abstinence before marriage might be the wisest route for young adults. Perhaps what troubles me the most, though, is that the media chooses to highlight the number of teens who break abstinence vows just because the number is higher than
the number of teens who keep their vow. It is unfair to call abstinence “unrealistic” because of some teens who made the pledge for the wrong reasons. I know there are young adults who have made the conscious decision on their own to wait to have sex until they’re married. The reasons for waiting vary among each individual, but I’d like to believe that each of those people who do remain faithful to their pledge do it because they sincerely want to, and not because of some pressure to conform. Whether you wait to have sex or not is nobody’s business but your own. I am not going to go all Jonas Brothers on people and claim that you need to go out and buy a purity ring because abstinence is the way to go. However, I am going to call out Oprah and anyone else who can do nothing more than sarcastically wish a teen “good luck” if they have made an open vow to remain abstinent. If Bristol Palin claims she is now going abstinent, then who’s to say she doesn’t mean it? It’s a decision that everyone has to ultimately make for themselves, and if that’s a challenge one is willing to take on, then that person does not deserve to be scoffed at. I find it completely inappropriate that a woman of Oprah’s age would talk down a scared, lonely teenager by questioning her about a vow that she was brave enough to make public. Statistics may show that abstinence is not a goal most teens end up achieving, but that does not make it unrealistic. Abstinence is very realistic to individuals who make it routine in their day to day lives because they truly want to. Everyone has their goals they set out to accomplish, and all that should matter is whether that goal is realistic to the individual who sets out to attain it.

Cultural racism brought on by ignorance Terrorism does not grow out of Islamic faith, but instead poverty The greatest fault of the Age of Enlightenment that led to democracy in the 18th century was that it demonstrated how knowledge could be applied to strip emotion and empathy from human action. The calculated inhumanity that produced many atrocities over the past two centuries may have possessed mathematical reason, but it lacked the respect for our fellow man that cannot be sacrificed. Racial profiling reasoned or not, possesses this grim characteristic. For this piece, I address the editorial “Profiling proof,” published Monday. To begin with, the assertion is made that terrorist organizations are created within the Muslim faith. One can logically infer from this assertion that it is believed that Islam, by its teachings or practices, fosters terrorist organizations. However, this could not be further from the truth. While some terrorist organizations arise from corrupt interpretations of the Quran, the Muslim community at large does not promote terrorism. On the contrary, the teachings of Islam confer a message of peace, compassion and humility. Of the five pillars of Islam [Shahadah, Salat, Zakah, Sawm and Hajj meaning accepting Muhammad as prophet, prayer, charitable giving, ritual fasting and pilgrimage respectively] not one points
Ian Barker is a senior in chemical engineering at Iowa State University. to some kind of institutionalized radical or violent behavior. The fact is that terrorism does not grow out of the Islamic faith, but instead out of extreme oppression, poverty and suffering. For example, one of the three perpetrators involved in the July 7th, 2005, London Underground bombings was of Jamaican descent — a country ravaged by economic and political monopolies and rife with poverty and inequality. The leader of the 2002 bombing in Bali was an Indonesian who received training in Malaysia and Singapore after being exiled from his country for political dissent. Furthermore, we cannot accept these attacks as a demonstration of Islam’s hatred for Christianity, an argument that may somehow attempt to bear out institutionalized aggression within Islam. It is well documented that terrorist organizations feel animosity toward the United States and the United Kingdom because each represents capitalism’s success at the expense of smaller nations. For the sake of argument, however, let us accept the first proposition as fact [which it is not]. To then jump to the assertion that phenotypic profiling [profiling based on physical appearance] is an effective method of divining one’s religion is egregious. This is not only because it is unethical, but also because it fails in practice. The assertion that most Mus-
lims hail from the same region of the world and can therefore be identified due to possession of Middle Eastern physical characteristics is invalidated by fact: the largest concentrations of Muslims inhabit Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh, encompassing a vast array of differing physical characteristics from skin tone to eye shape. Indonesia alone possesses 15.6 percent of the world’s Muslim population. All told, only 20 percent of the world’s population of Muslims inhabits the Middle East. According to a Pew Research Center study in October, there are more Muslims in Germany than Lebanon and more in China than in Syria, thoroughly dismantling the concept that phenotypic classification is a reliable indicator of religious background, even if we allow the first assertion to stand, which it cannot. Finally, even if we allow the first two propositions to stand, there is the issue of recruitment. It is proposed that terrorist groups utilize more cost effective means of recruitment that result in ethnically homogenous perpetrators. I’ll begin with the second component. The examples given for airline terrorist attacks themselves disprove the concept that terrorist groups recruit within their immediate proximity: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas Day bomber was Nigerian and Richard Colvin Reid, the shoe bomber, was an English–born British citizen whose parents were English and Jamaican. I do not suppose that al-Qaida made special arrangements to
recruit these two, though according to the theory presented in “Profiling proof,” they would not do so based on financial constraints. This brings me to the first component of the argument. Terrorist recruitment is not constrained to geographic proximity based on financial constraints due to the nature of terrorist causes and motives. As mentioned earlier, terrorism has grown from the seeds of oppression and extreme poverty in countries all over the world. Some of the most notable terrorists, including the 2002 Bali bombing ringleader, arose out of political exile and anger in countries far from Middle Eastern influence. The fact is the passionate and romantic nature of the radical terrorist message resonates with any member of any country whose political system is in extreme upheaval or whose living conditions include mass poverty and hardship. Terrorism does not require or utilize phone calls or television commercials to recruit new members, thus rendering a financial or economic argument unreasonable. While it is simpler to argue that discrimination, targeted or organic, is wrong, morally and ethically, no matter what the circumstances, it is more revealing to undo the fundamental profiling present in constructing the policy to begin with. Applying racism of any kind, whether backed by mathematics or not, is as inhumane as it is ignorant and doing so only oppresses those whose oppression may bring them to perform evil deeds in the first place.

Cyclones strive to maintain momentum By Blake Schultz Daily Staff Writer After a successful series at Illinois, the Cyclone hockey team returns home to faceoff with Eastern Michigan this weekend at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena. Iowa State played two games with No. 4 ranked Illinois and came away with a win and a loss in a shootout. Despite coming out short in the shootout, the Cyclones still considered the weekend a success. “I think we played well both Friday and Saturday, so I think we’ll have a lot of momentum going into this weekend,” said sophomore defenseman Brody Toigo. “As long as we keep our momentum going, we should be alright.” Eastern Michigan comes into the weekend with a 7-21-1 record and a record of 2-12 in the Central State League. The only two wins the Eagles have picked up in the league were against Western Michigan early in the season. Even though the Eagles do not compare to teams like Illinois or Lindenwood, Iowa State will not take them lightly. Over the course of the season, the Cyclones have lost a few games to lesser opponents. For this series of games Iowa State

Indoor practice could hamper southern trip By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer With 10 of the 11 players on the ISU tennis team hailing from cold weather climates the recent weather in Ames has been all too familiar. Luckily for the CyKaronis clones, the members will say their goodbyes to the snow and sub-freezing temperatures when they head south this weekend for a pair of non-conference matches. “The change of weather will be great,” junior Erin Karonis said. “We’re kind of tired of the snow and lack of sunlight.” On its mid-winter break, the team will square off against the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP) and North Florida. The team has been practicing indoors at the Ames Racquet and Fitness Center since late October, so the weather could be a factor in this weekend’s competition. “I think it will be hard adjusting to it but it shouldn’t be too bad because we were playing so much outdoors at the beginning of the year,” freshman Jenna Langhorst said. The Cyclones are coming off a seasonopening 4-3 loss at the hands of No. 69 Minnesota. That match-up came down to the

Bench fuels victory By Kayci Woodley Daily Staff Writer Three of Iowa State’s five starters finished Wednesday night’s game with four fouls. A disjointed battle against Oklahoma at Hilton Coliseum led to reliability on the bench of the Cyclone women’s basketball team. A total of 50 fouls were called during the game, allowing for numerous starts and stops, and made it difficult for either team to find a rhythm. Senior point guard Alison Lacey’s second foul of the night left her on the bench for the remaining five minutes of the first half. Junior guard Kelsey Bolte also had two fouls in the first, resulting in underclassmen guards stepping into the shadows of the two guards. “It’s probably the best our bench has played in a long time,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “Our bench played 66 minutes which is 30 percent of the game. They had 14 points and 15 boards, which was outstanding.” Leading the brigade off the bench was freshman guard Jessica Schroll. After struggling against Texas on Saturday, the Midland, Mich., native ded-

icated the next days of practice to improve on all aspects of her game. It was clear against the Sooners. “I don’t like to single people out but Jessica Schroll was someone that I think really impacted the game,” Fennelly said. “We all know what happened to [Schroll] Saturday. You didn’t see what happened to [Schroll] Monday [and] Tuesday at practice.” Schroll snatched a season-high 11 rebounds against the Sooners to led the Cyclones, and committed zero turnovers in her 32 minutes of lay. Schroll’s final rebound came with 13 seconds left in the game after Oklahoma’s Jasmine Hartman missed a layup that would have put the Sooners within four points.
“To her credit she came out and played with the energy and effort that this team needed,” Fennelly said of Schroll’s performance. “[I’m] very proud of her for doing that because most young people out there around would not have acted that way or played that way considering what she’s gone through the last three days.” Under the basket, the Cyclone bench was also a factor as Iowa State was led by freshman post Chelsea Poppens’ six boards in the first half, out rebounding the Sooners 23-13 overall, including 10 rebounds on the offensive end. Also under the basket, freshman Anna Prins’ 15 points was key to the keeping the Cyclone lead in the second half. “We did everything we had to do at the time we had to do it and I’m very proud of the kids for it,” Fennelly said. Five minutes into the game the score was tied at eight, and after two missed shots and two offensive rebounds by Iowa State, the Cyclones took a two point lead, displaying early the importance of ripping the ball down after a missed shot. Rebounding wasn’t the only factor that led to the downfall of No.

Bergen event to be held, honor past head coach
Sooners stifle Cyclones By Jake Lovett Daily Staff Writer
By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer The ISU track and field team will honor perhaps its most decorated coach with the running of the inaugural Bill Bergan Multi Events and Invitational this weekend. Caffrey Bergan was Iowa State’s first cross country coach in 1971 and also took the reigns as track and field coach in 1976. Over the next 20 years, Bergan would coach 104 ISU All-Americans, win 20 Big Eight Conference Titles (10 in cross country, five in indoor track and 10 in outdoor track) and coach the Cyclones to NCAA Cross Country National Championships in 1989 and 1994. Current track and field coach Corey Ihmels ran for Bergan for the first three years of his All-American career. The multi events, which involves the men’s and women’s heptathlon and pentathlon, will begin at 1:00 p.m. Thursday and Friday, followed by the invitational which will include a full slate of track and field events beginning Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Lied Recreational Athletic Center. Unlike last weekend’s ISU Open, which

Iowa State trimmed a 16-point halftime deficit to as close as three in the second half, but fell to Oklahoma 89–84 Wednesday night in Norman, Okla. The Cyclones (12–8, 1–4 in Big 12) turned the ball over 14 times in the first half, compared to just making 13 field goals, leading to their large deficit heading into the half. In the second half, though, they were able to find their range from 3-point land and trim down Oklahoma’s (12–8, 3–3) double-digit lead, aided by a 15–3 run in the middle of the half. Iowa State got as close as three points four times in the second half. ISU forward LaRon Dendy led the way for the Cyclones on the long run with six points in the seven-minute stretch. According to a report by the Associated Press, Oklahoma was playing with its top two scorers — guard Willie Warren and forward Tony Crocker — out of the game with ankle injuries. The injuries left the Sooners with just seven active players for the game. Warren had led the Sooners with 17.6 points per game and Crocker had scored 12.3 points in their first 19 games. However, Tommy Mason-Griffin filled in nicely for the Sooners, scoring 38 points in the Big 12 win. Cade Davis had a break-out performance for the shorthanded Sooners, as
well, scoring 24 points and three rebounds. Leading the way for Iowa State was junior point guard Diante Garrett, who scored 17 for the Cyclones, who were also shorthanded playing with just eight players. The Cyclones had five other players achieve double-digit figures in points, including junior forward Craig Brackins struggled again, getting just 13 points and six rebounds. In just his second career start, guard Scott Christopherson scored 14 points and was 4-of-5 from 3-point range. Oklahoma’s first-half lead was aided by a 14–0 run in which Mason-Griffin scored five points and Davis scored nine to put Iowa State nearly out of reach early in the game. The Sooners led by as much as 21 points in the first half at 48–27. The win pushed Oklahoma to 10–0 at home in 2009–’10. Senior forward Marquis Gilstrap scored 11 points, but missed out on his fifth-straight double-double by only grabbing nine rebounds in the game. Gilstrap and former Texas star Kevin Durant are the only players in Big 12 history to open their careers with four straight double-doubles. Dendy, a junior forward, went 5-for5 from the field to score 10 points while freshman point guard Chris Colvin chipped in 11 points.

Shirley, ESPN split over blog post By Chris Cuellar Daily Staff Writer
at least 150,000 dead on the Caribbean island. “My wariness has much to do with the fact that the sympathy deployed to Haiti has been done so unconditionally,” Shirley said in the Tuesday morning post. “Very few have said, written, or even intimated the slightest admonishment of Haiti, the country, for putting itself into a position where so many would be killed by an earthquake.” Packing more than 9 million citizens into an island nation approximately the size of Maryland, Haiti has been through repeated political upheaval in the last decade, and its average gross domestic product is $1300. Shirley, a mechanical engineering major from Iowa State, acknowledged that his view of Haiti caring for itself was in the minority, but attempts to justify his statements throughout. “I don’t mean in any way that the Haitians deserved their collective fate,” Shirley wrote online. “And I understand that it is difficult to plan for the aftermath of an earthquake. However, it is not
Paul Shirley, former Iowa State basketball player, author and creater of his own Web site, www. flipcollective.com, was released by ESPN as a contributor Wednesday. Shirley posted an entry regarding his opinion on the earthquake and disaster in Haiti on his site, stating that he wasn’t going to donate money to relief efforts because responsibility ultimately should be held by Haiti and the education and financial state of the nation. Shirley had been writing for ESPN about music and cultural musings since 2006, and his book, “Can I Keep My Jersey?” was published in 2007. The entirety of Shirley’s blog entry and other entries can be found at flipcollective.com.

While it was not their best day at the line, Fennelly was still pleased with the way the Cyclones shot free throws when it mattered most. “We made just enough where it got [the lead] from six to seven or three to four, there was always a free throw that got us to the next possession,” Fennelly said. “71 percent is okay, you’d like to see it a little bit higher but overall — especially down the stretch — we didn’t miss very many.” Iowa State will look to continue its winning ways at Kansas State on Sunday.

she’s impacting the success of our team and giving teams someone they have to guard around the block,” Fennelly said. Fouls also cost the Cyclones in the second half. Lacey and Prins both had two fouls entering the second half. However, the brief time Lacey and Prins spent on the bench gave other Cyclones the opportunity to step up when needed. Junior guard Kelsey Bolte scored nine of her 15 points in the second half, including a clutch three-point shot with 2:56 remaining that gave the

The last two minutes consisted of a free throw shooting contest for the Cyclones. Oklahoma sent the Cyclones to the
and is it a good idea if we continue to make these same mistakes?’” The comments made about the 2,000–word piece have drawn more than 700 posts to the message board, and CBS basketball analyst Seth Davis said, “Paul, I think you’re a dumbass,” on his Twitter. ESPN said in a news release, “Paul Shirley is no longer a part-time contributor to ESPN.com following his Haiti writings. The views he expressed on another site of course do not at all reflect our company’s views on the Haiti relief efforts.” Currently located in suburban Kansas City, Shirley said Tuesday that he was still working out in preparation for a potential future basketball contract, and that he had also applied to graduate school for creative writing. The 6-foot-10 basketball “mercenary” played for Iowa State from 1997–2001, and has had basketball stints with 13 different teams internationally.

11 Oklahoma in Hilton on Wednesday, however. Iowa State’s zone defense held the Sooners to a dismal 25 percent from the field in the first half. Coming into the game, Oklahoma had averaged a 43.3 percent clip from the field in conference play. “The zone was forced upon us a little earlier because of Alison Lacey’s foul trouble,” Fennelly said. “We wanted to play man early, not let someone get hot and then someone pack it in and help.” Defensively, Iowa State pulled down 24 boards over the Sooners’ 14 offensive boards. Bolte led the team with 3 steals, including one
right after a timeout when Iowa State was down by one point. “We haven’t seen [a zone] much and we didn’t have a very good rhythm and our shot selection wasn’t very good, our movement wasn’t very good,” said Oklahoma head coach Sherri Coale. “And we didn’t make shots. We had some good shots you just got to make them.” Oklahoma hit only six of its 24 shots in the first half and made on two free throws. The Sooners made a solid effort in the second to grasp more rebounds, finishing with 36, just one behind Iowa State’s total on the night. “We didn’t block out, gave up too many offensive rebounds, too many free throws, we didn’t execute against the zone,” Coale said. “We did not deserve to win that basketball game.”

outside the realm of imagination to think that the citizens of a country might be able to: A) avoid putting themselves into a situation that might result in such catastrophic loss of life. And B) provide for their own aid, in the event of such a catastrophe.” Shirley was unable to return calls Wednesday, but on Tuesday afternoon, defended his views over the phone following a few comments, before the blog exploded and became a national subheadline. “I think if you were 14 years old, and you saw one of these crises hit, your instincts would be, ‘Oh my god, I can’t believe this, I need to do whatever I can.’ As you get older you start to see these things happen, and then you see the aftermath and you kind of see a pattern that goes on here,” Shirley said. “There’s not really much problem solving that goes on, there’s a lot of caterwauling and handwringing and reactionary behavior, but there’s not a lot of rational thinking, ‘But why did this happen,

wants to get the sweep and move on. “Not to take anything away from Eastern Michigan, but they aren’t the caliber of us or Illinois,” said junior defenseman Brady Irwin. “So we just want to get everyone a chance to play, keep everyone healthy and pick up the sweep.” If the Eagles come to Ames hoping to get an upset or two, they will have to win in an arena that is very tough to play in. Iowa State only has two losses at home this season, one to Illinois and one in a shootout to Central Oklahoma. On a game night, the Ames/ ISU Ice Arena is loud and all of the home players feed off of that energy. “Because we are home and we play well at home, I think anything less than a sweep would be a disappointment,” Toigo said. While playing at home, the Cyclone defense is holding opposing teams to an average of 1.7 goals per game while scoring an average of 6.45 goals per game. In addition to holding

the opponents to low scoring, the Cyclones are holding opponents to less than 25 shots per game in all games. With six games to play until the Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament, the Cyclones could use all the points they can get and sweeping these weekend means eight points towards tournament
seeding, it makes it that much more important. “We still have room for improvement in a lot of areas and I don’t expect to peak until the championship game in the national tournament,” said coach Al Murdoch. One of the areas Murdoch would like to improve is the Cyclones’ play in games that go
final set as Iowa State lost a close No. 6 singles match to give Minnesota the deciding point. Looking ahead to this weekend, coach Armando Espinosa feels the trip to Florida will benefit his team both physically and mentally. “It will be a great opportunity for us to gain some team unity and it’s also important because the Big 12 [conference season] will be outdoors,” Espinosa said. Espinosa said his team will need to use the skills they have been developing indoors and adjust them to conditions that will cause the ball to not come as fast as it does indoors. “Whether it’s the wind or sun, anytime we come outside its going to be a little bit of an ad-
justment,” Espinosa said. The Cyclones are hoping they can make their adjustment to the warm weather as smoothly as Langhorst has made her adjustment to the college game. After going 6-5 in singles and 6-3 in doubles over the fall season, Langhorst started her season with a pair of wins last weekend, a 6-2, 6-3 win in singles over Magdalena Wiecha and an 8-3 upset victory alongside Karonis over Minnesota’s top–ranked doubles team of Tijana Koprivica and Jackie Sperling. “[With the wins] I have more confidence now that I’m not so nervous and hopefully I will be help the team get some points,” Langhorst said. Iowa State will take on UTEP tomorrow and North Florida on Sunday.
into overtime. Iowa State is just 1–4 in overtime this season and its four losses have all come via shootouts. Murdoch is emphasizing playing well in four on four situations and finishing in shootouts. “We still have a long way to go,” Irwin said. “We made a lot of strides last weekend and we just want to build on that.”

was composed of primarily Division II, Division III and junior college athletes, a contingent of Division I schools will make the trip to Ames, including Big 12 rivals Kansas State and Missouri. “It should be a completely different atmosphere compared to the ISU Open,” jumps and multi-events coach Pete Herber said. Herber will have the only coaching duties today and Friday as he will be watching junior Jamal Currica in the men’s heptathlon and sophomore Mallory Henderson in the women’s pentathlon. “It’s our first meet [with the heptathlon and pentathlon events] so we are really
looking for a springboard to the conference meet,” Herber said. Another one of Herber’s jumpers, sophomore high jumper Derek Alderks hopes to go jump-for-jump with some “seven footers,” jumpers that can clear the bar at seven feet off the ground, this weekend. “It’s great to jump against the seven footers because I can look at them and see where exactly I want to be,” Alderks said. Alderks had the second best meet of his collegiate career, placing fourth in last week’s ISU Open with a jump of 6-06.75.

Caffrey, she was more proud to edge out former Iowa All-Big 10 hurdler Peaches Roach. “I wasn’t as focused on time in that race,” Caffrey said. “I just wasn’t going to let her beat me on my track.” Caffrey welcomes the competition for this weekend as she knows the tougher the competition, the better preparation it will be for her when she looks ahead to the Big 12 Indoor Championships in February. Caffrey will be working towards cutting three tenths of a second off of her 8.40 second mark in order to reach the NCAA automatic time of 8.10 seconds. “Hitting the provisional [time] doesn’t make you safe [to qualify],” Caffrey said. “Each race is going to be more and more competitive as the year goes on.”

Collector’s passion displayed in fashion Valuable clothing collection donated to university on display through April By Julia Ferrell Daily Staff Writer

Anne Zimmerman developed a large collection of designer clothing throughout her life — a collection now on display in Morrill Hall. Courtesy photo: Sara Marcketti/University Museums
On her frequent vacations to Hollywood, Anne Zimmerman went looking for one thing: clothes. With a background in the fashion industry, Zimmerman found herself with a large collection of Chanel copy, Rudi Gernreich and Ralph Lauren, all ranging from the 1940s to the 1980s. While living in different areas — such as Los Angeles, Chicago and Des Moines — Zimmerman collected many high-fashion and rare pieces, occasionally bringing along her husband, Kent. Anne Zimmerman’s passion for clothing continued until her death from cancer in 2007. One year later, Kent Zimmerman donated the collection to Iowa State. Anne’s collection was accepted gratefully and is now featured as its own Morrill Hall exhibit. After a private opening last Friday, “The Story of a Collector: Anne Zimmerman” is currently being displayed in the

Mary Alice Gallery, with a public reception at 5 p.m. Tuesday in Morrill Hall. The collection will be open through April 19. The exhibit includes pieces varying from a Courreges dress from the mid-60s to a rare hat made by a Chicago company in the 40s. The mint condition pieces, along with the rarity of some of the clothing, gives the collection an estimated value of over $32,000. “She did not have any idea what it was worth,” Kent Zimmerman said. “She only wanted it to be used in the classroom.” From the collection’s start, Anne Zimmerman’s wish was to educate the public with her pieces, feeling the genius and creativity of American designers went under-appreciated. Currently, the exhibit is being used by a number of classes at Iowa State.“In death, Anne left a legacy that will have an impact on generations to come,” Kent Zimmerman said.

atombender gains guidance, forms image Young Ames band looks to talent as inspiration, thrives on performance By Tyler Kingkade Daily Staff Writer Many people can say they have photos of their best friends in high school and college but not all can say they have a CD and a Facebook fan page. Atombender, who claims to be the second largest band at Iowa State — next to the marching band — and the reason for the local Perkins staying in business, is a group of guys who grew up in Ames and learned to play instruments for the sake of starting a band. They were high school sophomores, with one junior, who aimed at becoming a local version of Five Iron Frenzy. A poppunk band with a keyboarding and horn section excited to play in Ames at Blink’s and in Des Moines at the House of Bricks, then located across the street from Merle Hay Mall. “We looked up to Stuck With Arthur a lot,” said guitarist Jacob King, sophomore in child, adult and family services, reflecting on the group’s early shows with other bigger local bands like SWA and Slaughterhouse 6. Members laugh now at that first article published back when they were driven to their own shows by their parents. When they started a band, members said they were really into Relient K, MXPX and the Supertones while it seemed every other local group was a hardcore or metal band. Atombender was closely connected with another Ames band, Keep & Confess, who it credits for essentially showing them the ropes. Shortly before Atombender formed, K&C had come together as high school freshmen in 2004. Atombender credited its friends in K&C for helping the band in the early days since they had more experience being a group; however, its friendship with K&C grew as the bands grew. Alex Arthur, the former lead singer of
“I may not be the best musician but I love getting on stage and going crazy,” —Jacob King, sophomore in child, adult and family services
Members: Jon Rohlf, senior in graphic design – vocals and trombone ■■ Ben Wiedenhoeft – drums ■■ Jacob King, sophomore in child, adult, and family services – guitar ■■ Justin Smiley-Oyen, senior in pre-business – vocals and trumpet ■■ Michael Davis, junior in graphic design – keyboards ■■ Zach Brenner, junior in music – guitar ■■
K&C, said the two bands playing together brought in plenty of kids while being a fun time. “They always have the most entertaining live show,” Arthur said. “Their fans are very loyal and open to about anything Jon [Rohlf] or [Justin Smiley-Oyen] tells them to do.” Those who have seen Atombender cannot easily forget the band’s energy on stage. Bodies jumping, swinging guitars, hair flying as heads shake frivolously while a golden trumpet and trombone flying up and down between the horn section’s parts and the group chanting during the songs. Audience members are unsure of whether to join or duck in fear in the case that the guys are about to dive off the stage. “I may not be the best musician but I love getting on stage and going crazy,” King said. The inspiration for the band’s craziness came as teenagers watching another Ames band, Poison Control Center, perform live. Vocalist and trombonist, Jon Rohlf, senior in graphic design, recalled watching the group and thinking “we need to be that entertaining.” Atombender put out “Turn It Up” in 2006 but feels their most recent EP, “Poison Gases for the Masses” in 2009, is its
proudest accomplishment. “We had a lot of people say they liked us better live than on CD,” Rohlf said. While there have been a couple member changes along the way, no one has ever left on bad terms. “We’ve had band fights,” King said, “but it’s more like brothers fighting.” The band grew up near each other and five of them attended the First Evangelical Free Church of Ames. They all ended up going to Iowa State not just to stay with the band, but they say the school offered the best programs for what they all wanted to study. Atombender has seen some changes in shows in central Iowa. “I think in both Ames and Des Moines there are a lot less people who are willing to go watch local bands,” Rohlf said. When the group started, The Envy Corps and Poison Control Center still played a majority of shows in Iowa while crowds gathered for other large local acts such as The Lifestyle, Enkido, SWA and Rosefield Rivals. Atombender’s list of memorable shows include ones where the venue was not aware a show was scheduled at all, one where the kids in attendance decided to turn the stage into a dance floor in the middle of a song and more emotional nights like finding out a close friend had passed a couple hours before playing. “A guy we were all good friends with, he was like my counselor at camp two years I think ... he died pretty suddenly of diabetes complications,” Drummer Ben Wiedenhoeft said. His roommate found him earlier that morning. They all had a hard time taking the stage — King especially did, he said. “God has plans that go beyond ours,” Wiedenhoeft said. “You think you know what’s going on but all of a sudden you

Fraternity to host concert with non-profit, raise funds for those combating HIV By Tyler Kingkade Daily Staff Writer
Budget cuts have caused a lot of worries around campus, and charity organizations have not been immune. Delta Lambda Phi is helping one non-profit organization, Mid-Iowa Community Action, with the Rock the Red concert on Friday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Each year, MICA hosts an auction to raise money to assist with the medical bills of people living with HIV. Delta Lambda Phi has worked with MICA in recent years and took it upon itself to raise the money necessary to host the auction. The concert will feature six groups, most of them locally based. Williams lead the arrangement of the bands. “Atombender was the last band to be added and they were super pumped,” Williams said. “We thought a concert would be a good way to pull in college kids and the community,” Williams said. Mid-Iowa Community Action is a non-profit organization established to help serve families affected by poverty but has programs extending from Head Start, maternal and child health and weatherization and energy assistance, according to its Web site. It was founded in 1965 and serves families in Hardin, Marshall, Poweshiek, Story and Tama County. Some musicians will have merchandise at the show. The concert is open to the public.

SAN FRANCISCO — Apple CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the company’s much-anticipated iPad tablet computer Wednesday, calling it a new third category of mobile device that is neither smart phone nor laptop, but something in between. The iPad will start at $499, a price tag far below the $1,000 that some analysts were expecting. But Apple must still persuade recession-weary consumers who already have other devices to open their wallets
yet again. Apple plans to begin selling the iPad in two months. Jobs said the device would be useful for reading books, playing games or watching video, describing it as “so much more intimate than a laptop and so much more capable than a smart phone.” The half-inch-thick iPad is larger than the company’s popular iPhone but similar in design. It weighs 1.5 pounds and has a touch screen that is 9.7 inches diagonally. It comes with 16, 32 or 64 gigabytes of flash memory storage, and has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth con-

nectivity built in. Jobs said the device has a battery that lasts 10 hours and can sit for a month on standby without needing a charge. Raven Zachary, a contributing analyst with a mobile research agency called The 451 Group, considered the iPad a laptop replacement, especially because Apple is also selling a dock with a built-in keyboard. But Forrester Research analyst James McQuivey said he does not believe the iPad offered enough additional features for consumers to justify buying yet another gadget, or to call it a new

category of device. In an e-mail, he criticized its lack of social features, such as ways to share photos and home video and recommend books. Jobs demonstrated how the iPad is used for surfing the Web with Apple’s Safari browser. The CEO typed an e-mail using an onscreen keyboard and flipped through photo albums by flicking his finger across the screen. He also showed off a new electronic book store and a book-reading interface that emulates the look of a paper book. That puts the iPad in competition with Amazon.com Inc.’s Kindle and e-book store. The iPad comes with software that includes a calendar, maps, and video and music players. All seem to have been slightly redesigned to take advantage of the iPad’s bigger screen. Applications designed for the iPhone can run on the iPad. Apple is also releasing updated tools for software developers to help them build iPhone and iPad programs.

Brothers bring high flying fun Master jugglers to provide live entertainment By David Wise Daily Staff Writer The comedy, dancing and live music are key features, but it’s the juggling of various objects that has labeled The Flying Karamazov Brothers as one of the most entertaining shows available. The group will perform Friday, at Stephens Auditorium in Ames. Attendees of the show are encouraged to bring various items with them. These items are set on stage, and voted to be juggled by the brothers during a segment called “the gamble.” Only three are picked to be juggled, but they’re juggled at the same time, which makes for amusing combinations. If the juggler lets the items hit the floor, he gets a pie in the face by the audience. If he wins, he takes a standing ovation. Paul Magid, a founder and member of FKB, said there are stipulations to what items the audience can bring — heavier than an ounce and lighter than ten pounds, no bigger than a breadbox and no live animals. “One time in New York, we got one of the best combinations of things,” Magid said. “We got a cream pie, a big silver Slinky and a bag of frogs for dissection, so frogs were flying out of the bag and chocolate pie was all over the air and this Slinky was sort of flying through all of it. It was very exciting.” Another juggling act, where the four members

juggle clubs between them, is completely improvisational. However, they have no idea what kind of pass will be thrown from one to another. Magid said that’s because it’s completely made up on the spot, it becomes very exciting. Eric Doll, president of the
ISU Juggling and Unicycling Club and senior in landscape architecture, said a juggling performance like this can usually only be done by someone with years of experience. “That’s why their masters,” Doll said. “Throwing passes like that without
knowing what you’re going to do, that’s so difficult. I would say it would take at least 10 years of strong practice to be that comfortable.” The FKB formed in 1973. Magid said he and the other members had an interest in theater and juggling, so they decided to put the
two together. Right from the start, it became a successful living. Over the years, Magid said, the group has slowly changed and has had nine different members throughout its life. It has played many shows, but Magid said opening for

Students use ISU facilities to stay in shape By Amanda Molitor Daily Staff Writer College students often look at campus recreational facilities when deciding where to attend school. Lucky for Iowa State students, the university holds eight separate facilities for a variety of activities and sports. And with renovations to the Lied Recreation Athletic Center, State Gym and Beyer Hall, attendees can expect even better facilities and equipment in the near future. Below is a breakdown of each facility and what it holds. Additional information can be found at www.recservices.iastate.edu.
Lied Recreation Athletic Center Hours: Monday-Thursday 6 a.m. – midnight ■■ Friday 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. ■■ Saturday 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. ■■ Sunday 9 a.m. – midnight ■■
The Lied Recreation Athletic Center is the central recreation service on campus. With 20 basketball courts, 16 volleyball courts and six racquetball courts, Lied is the best place to play a game of pick up in rainy and cold weather. There is also a weight room and fitness area featuring weights and cardio equipment for students who prefer to workout with around others and watch T.V. The two tracks, both indoor, are a great way to actually run without having to brave the outdoor elements. Lied also houses a rock climbing wall. “It’s a nice change from your typical running workout,” said frequent climber Adam Brandt, senior in history. The climbing wall operates under different hours than the rest of Lied.
Beyer Hall Hours: ■■ Monday - Thursday 6 a.m. – midnight ■■ Friday 6 a.m. – 10 p.m. ■■ Saturday 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. ■■ Sunday 9 a.m. – midnight

Pool Hours: Monday – Friday 12:10 – 2 p.m.; 7 – 9:30 p.m. ■■ Saturday closed ■■ Sunday 5 — 8 p.m. ■■
Beyer Hall, located near the UDCC, houses the only lap swimming pool open this year due to renovations, and is home to the university swimming, diving and gymnastics teams. There are three basketball and volleyball courts that can be converted for use, as well as six racquetball courts and two squash courts. A weight training room is available for use only to the ISU Weight Club. Outdoor basketball courts are convenient from those who live in nearby dorms.
State Gym State Gym was built in 1911, and
is considered the “original” recreation service on campus. However, State Gym is not open for use this year due to renovations. Once the changes are complete, State Gym will boast a new gym, free weights, aquatic facilities, a track, a climbing wall and new locker rooms.
Ames/ISU Ice Area ■■
ISU Student Special: Wednesday (8 – 9 p.m.) $3 admission and $2 skate rental with student ID
Co-owned with the City of Ames and Iowa State, the ice arena is home to the university’s men’s and women’s hockey teams, as well as broomball intramurals. In addition to watching hockey, students are able to rent skates and participate in open skate for a dis-
count price. The ice arena also offers pick up hockey, figure freestyle and “stick and helmet.”
Maple, Willow, Larch Field Located near across from the Maple, Willow, Larch dorm complex, this recreation field is 17 acres and can host a variety of activities at one time. Football fields, ultimate frisbee fields, soccer fields and lacrosse fields all fit into this recreational acreage. Many intramural tournaments are played here in the evenings and weekends.
Southeast Recreation Field An open field located a little ways off-campus, the Southeast Recreation Field is home to additional football and soccer fields. Softball fields are also available at this location. At 53 acres,
Improve Your Image This Spring
there is almost a certain guarantee of never running into anyone else’s game.
Towers Recreation Field 26 acres across from the Towers housing facilities, its recreation field is another location for intramural games and tournaments. When not busy hosting intramurals, the soccer, ultimate Frisbee, flag football, rugby and lacrosse fields can be used by anyone.
Disc Golf Course The disc golf course of almost 20 acres can be found north of Frederiksen Court. For those who don’t have Frisbees on hand, Rec Services (located temporarily in a trailer near Martin dorm) will rent out equipment to play Disc Golf. It costs students $1.50 per day for students to play and $2 per day for faculty and staff.

Deliciously nutritious choices Katie Paulson
is a graduate student in nutrition from Ottumwa.
“The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose,” J Martin Kohe said. The small choices we make each day ultimately influence the big ones. Here is your challenge … what are you going to choose for lunch today? I know, tough choice right? Some might think so, especially if you have the access to all the menus in the dining centers on campus. With nutrition in mind, here are some excellent tips and resources to help you decide what to have for breakfast, lunch, snacks or dinner if you live on campus or spend your day here.
1.
Start out with the ISU Dining home page (www. dining.iastate.edu). It offers information on places to eat on campus, specials being offered, menus, prices and even an order online food service.

Sleep. Yes, sleep actually helps your body repair itself and make sure everything is working properly. “When the body hasn’t had enough sleep it will crave bad sources of energy such as large amounts of caffeine or sugar, which can lead to weight gain,” said Hunkins. An average person should shoot for between seven and eight hours of sleep a night Hunkins said. That way you give your body enough resting time and will wake up with enough energy to face the day.

By Sarah Bougie Daily Staff Writer All of this cold weather definitely makes it tempting to hibernate on your couch with a bag full of chips and just forget about fitness until spring. But even if winter has zapped the energy out of you, there are simple, easy ways to stay fit without trying. Joel Hunkins, a personal trainer at Aspen Athletic Club in Des Moines, offers the following ten tips to keep you at your best.

2.
Eat breakfast. Now that you’ve gotten a solid eight hours of sleep, remember to eat breakfast. “Some people think they can cut out easy calories by skipping breakfast, this actually slows your metabolism and your body will put on weight,” Hunkins said. “It doesn’t need to be gourmet, just make sure you’re putting something in your stomach — preferably something healthy.” Eating breakfast will also supply you with the energy you need and keep you from grabbing a sugary or fatty snack midmorning.
3.
Drink water. Invest in a reusable water bottle and make it your best friend on campus. “People always forget how many empty calories are in sodas and sugared juices, water helps the body run smoothly and keeps you hydrated,” Hunkins said. Drinking enough water will also ensure that your body is not retaining it, which causes water weight. Hunkins said that you should shoot for 64 oz. of water a day, so drink up!
4.
Eat right. Skip the Cheetos, and choose carrots instead. “It may not be the easiest thing, but changing up your daily diet is the best way to see results over time,” Hunkins said. It may be the most obvious thing to do, but that’s because it’s the most effective, Hunkins said. Making small daily trade outs from a fatty snack to a healthy one will help you get and stay fit.
5.
Snack. Having small healthy snacks throughout the day will keep your metabolism moving.
“The ideal daily diet would consist of five small meals, so shoot for having a healthy snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon,” Hunkins said, “Contrary to what most people believe, fit people eat a ton, they just know what to eat and when to eat.” Before you head to class, cut up some apple slices or celery stalks to munch on between classes. This will keep your temptation for sweets down and your body up and running.
6.
Exercise. Yes, you can lose weight by diet alone, but including exercise in your routine will ensure total fitness. “You don’t need to have an intense exercise regimen to see results, start doing small things and work your way up,” Hunkins said. There are a lot of simple ways to do this on campus. Walk from class to class instead of taking the bus. Use the stairs, not the elevators. Walk to a friend’s house instead of driving. Hunkins said that it doesn’t matter how long or how hard these small activities are as long as you are doing something.
7.
Get out. Make it a routine to get out of your dorm or apartment and do something. “People never think that simple things like going shopping or going to a movie burns calories. It’s certainly better than staying on your couch,” Hunkins said.
8.
Take your vitamins. Being so close to so many different people on campus exposes you to many different things — take a multivitamin to fight back. “Just in case you’re not meeting the food pyramid’s requirements everyday, a multivitamin is a good way to ensure your body is getting what it needs,” Hunkins said.
9.
Limit alcohol. Binge drinking is not exactly what the doctor recommended. “Too much alcohol dehydrates your body and makes you consume empty calories,” Hunkins said. He said you can have fun, just monitor what you’re doing.
10.
Keep track. Monitor what you take in and burn out. As long as you keep an equal balance, you should be set. “It’s all about balancing stuff out. You take in more calories than you burn, you’ll gain weight. You burn more than you take in, you’ll lose weight. If it’s equal than you’ll maintain,” Hunkins said. Staying fit, even in the winter isn’t impossible and doesn’t take too much of an effort either. Hunkins said as long as you treat your body right and keep track of where you’re at, achieving fitness should be, “a walk in the park.”

Kinesiology department offers various fitness classes By Morgan Zimmerman Daily Staff Writer There are some people who enjoy exercise and some who need a little extra motivation — so how about motivation in the form of college credit? We spoke to staff of Iowa State’s kinesiology department who showed us the list of fitness courses offered through the department to students on campus. Think you might be interested? Well take a peek at our condensed list of courses and descriptions below, for more details, access Iowa State’s Schedule of Classes. Under departments, select Kinesiology, then hit submit. The results will fill you in on prerequisites, class dates, credits offered and everything else you’ll need to get enrolled.

Recreational centers available off campus By Kyle Peterson Daily Staff Writer For students looking to stay fit throughout the school year, plenty of options are available — some of which aren’t even that far from home. With students living off-campus in many other parts of Ames, it can be difficult to commute to services on campus. But many property management companies offer fitness centers or memberships to local gyms as a perk of living in their apartment complexes. So why trek all the way to the Lied Athletic Recreation Center? “All of our tenants are eligible for a free membership to Ames Racquet & Fitness with a signed
lease,” said Dave Hyman, Ames property manager with Haverkamp Properties, 4720 Mortensen Road. “We’ve done that for quite a few years now.” With three locations throughout Ames, Hyman said that Ames Racquet & Fitness is convenient no matter which property students rent and wherever tenants are living in Ames. “We have lots or properties around town, so it works for them,” Hyman said. In fact, the west location of Ames Racquet & Fitness, 4700 Mortensen Road, is located on the ground floor of one of Haverkamp’s properties. “We have tenants that live about them and they love having the ability to just walk downstairs and use that membership there,” Hyman said. “That’s usually the first building to fill up.” Hyman said that the program with the fitness club is a big draw when it comes time for students to search for a new apartment and sign a new lease. “There are quite a few tenants who are looking to become more fit or stay active, and this is very appealing to them,” Hyman said. Instead of partnering up with a local gym, other property management companies choose to run their own. University Plains Community

Intramurals provide both fun, fitness By Jeremiah Davis Daily Corespondent With the ever-increasing problem of obesity in the United States, organizations all over are becoming more and more dedicated to the health and fitness of Americans. That is no different at Iowa State, where opportunities to get and stay fit are everywhere. While fitness programs are provided through ISU Recreation Services, the intramurals it offers can also serve as a way to remain in shape. The students at Iowa State that participate in some type of intramural activity don’t necessarily do so with fitness in mind. “Seventy-five percent of students [at Iowa State] participate in intramurals in some way,” said Garry Greenlee, the associate director of ISU Recreation Services, “But it’s mostly sports-minded people who participate to stay in shape.” A lot of students may not see intramurals as a go-to for exercise or workouts. Close to 90 percent of the intramurals offered are sports related according to Greenlee, so it stands to reason that most are there for the fun or competition. “I don’t really see intramurals as a way for me to work out,” said Cassie Moens, a sophomore in biology, “If I do an intramural, it would just be for fun. I work out on my own.” Greenlee said that intramurals aren’t promoted as a fitness activity because of all the other opportunities for that on campus. “The fitness program we have is geared specifically toward fitness and wellness,” Greenlee said, “That program is there for the people who don’t want to do intramurals.” There are also clubs and other activities that would require a certain level of fitness. Moens, while not a participant in intramurals, finds a way other than just Lied Recreation Athletic Center to get a workout. “I do [ISU Hip Hop Club] as another way to stay in shape,” Moens said, “It’s something I love to do, but also gives me a different way

to do a workout.” “I feel like if I did intramurals it wouldn’t be for fitness or anything because I don’t think I’d get as good of a workout as I would [by] going to the rec.” But Greenlee would like to note that intramurals can in fact serve as an excellent way for students to stay in shape during the school year. “Ultimate Frisbee would be the best intramural to do for fitness,” Greenlee said. “It’s non-stop, run, run, run, all the time.” That’s definitely not the only one, though, Greenlee said. Soccer is also available, which requires constant movement just like ultimate Frisbee. Basketball and swimming, as well as many more, involve a high level of physical activity. One big advantage intramu-

So if students are looking for a fun, free way to stay fit, Greenlee wants them to check out the Recreation Services Web site for more information on how to get involved.

Park, 4912 Mortensen Road, which includes 12 buildings and is home to approximately 500 residents, owns and operates its own fitness center for its residents. “We try to do what we can to advertise it,” said Taylor Nystrom, leasing consultant with University Plains Community Park. “It’s always one of our selling points.” In addition to weights and elliptical machines, the apartment complex has an outdoor basketball court and an outdoor pool as well, for keeping in shape during the warmer months. “Ours has a little bit of everything,” Nystrom said. So wherever students live, distance to Iowa State and its facilities shouldn’t be the excuse keeping them from getting in shape. There are plenty of options for a fit life right in the neighborhood — just be sure to ask your property management company.

from PAGE 1B don’t. I hate using this word, but it was really emotional.” Each of the band member’s families has been thoroughly supportive of the adventure Atombender has been on. Perhaps that’s been fine since they’ve stayed grounded in Ames going to school, with the exception for occasional traveling outof-town for shows. “Everyone will have class until five when you have to load-in at the House of Bricks at two or three or something,” drummer Ben Wiedenhoeft said. Wiedenhoeft lives and works in Ames but is the only member not currently in school. His mother is an agronomy professor at Iowa State. The group said it has considered leaving college to take music on full-time but did not see an advantage in leaving as things are now.

“I think by the time we actually thought that there might be a possibility of something more happening, Jon was a junior and especially by that time in the graphic design program it’d be stupid to stop,” Wiedenhoeft said. The close-knit group of friends values the time and money they’ve invested toward the band with no plans to stop. While some members will be pursuing internships this coming summer, possibly putting the band on pause, the group would like to be able to record before the summer. For the band, its riding a high wave after delivering an EP which they felt captured its live energy.
