Senate could motion to override veto The Government of the Student Body Senate could motion to override President Jared Knight’s veto of the bill “Making GSB Accountable and Transparent” tonight. Knight vetoed the bill Friday, expressing concerns that not all requirements included in the bill could be met. The bill ensures that activities of all branches of GSB are made available to the public in documentary, audio or video form and that all content on GSB’s website is up to date. -Charles O’Brien

Welch safety questioned Recent accident brings discussion of ‘ped’ mall Weighing options Pros:
By Charles.Obrien @iowastatedaily.com Welch Avenue is often crowded on the weekend with its bar scene and the multiple restaurants which line the avenue. Following the hit-and-run incident on Jan. 18, the possibility of turning part of Welch Avenue into a pedestrian-only area, similar to the Pedestrian Mall in Iowa City, was taken into consideration. “I would say it is very unrealistic in the near future,” said Campustown Action Association Director Kim Hanna. “The location of the firehouse on Welch and Chamberlain means that Welch [Avenue] cannot become a pedestrian walkway.” Having a pedestrian-only area on

Cons: ■■ reduced parking ■■ need for increased police foot patrol
Welch Avenue is not a new concept; during past VEISHEAs, the Ames Police Department has closed off the section of Welch Avenue between Lincoln Way and Chamberlain Street for food vendors. Commander Geoff Huff of the Ames Police sees a pedestrian walkway area as an issue for the Ames Police.
“If you had the entire block shut down, we would need more foot patrol,” Huff said. “We don’t have enough officers for this type of patrol.” A pedestrian walkway would create a sea of people, making it harder for officers to see what was going on in the area, Huff said. Huff also stated that having vehicle traffic limits the number of people hanging around on the sidewalks and on the street, lessening the chances of accidents occurring. “The longer people tend to linger around after closing time [of the bars], the longer we have to stay there, which keeps us

Sheriff discusses guns with Obama Fitzgerald talks with president concerning laws By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald, along with other officials, met with President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden in
the White House this week to continue the dialogue on gun violence. Fitzgerald According to the White House web page, Obama spoke before the meeting began in the Roosevelt Room on Monday. “This is a representative group. It comes from a wide
cross-section of communities across the country,” Obama said of the officials present at the meeting. Fitzgerald commented that the group met for a little over an hour. The meeting included 13 law enforcement representatives, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano in addition to the president and vice president, according to the Associated
Press. Several of the law enforcement representatives were from areas in which mass shootings had occurred within the past year, including Newtown, Conn., Aurora, Colo. and Oak Creek, Wis. “It was an excellent dialogue among law enforcement leaders throughout the country,” Fitzgerald said.

Campustown to get face-lift
By Thaddeus.Mast @iowastatedaily.com A new revitalization effort is coming to Campustown, specifically across from Lake LaVerne on Lincoln Way and along Welch Avenue. Kingland Systems, a database software company currently located in the old theater on Lincoln Way, has bought nine buildings in the Campustown area. “A good portion of the space will be used for our own needs and we’re planning right now what we’re going to do related to that, whether that’ll be an existing facility or a new facility,” said Todd Rognes, chief financial officer of Kingland Systems. “We’re in discussions with some other parties about possibly assuming some of that additional space. I expect that would be a mix of retail and office needs,” Rognes said. “We’ll use, I would say, approximately 40 percent of the space. The other 60 percent would be available to other parties.” Kingland may sell or rent some of the property to Iowa State, according to Warren Madden, vice president of business and finance. “They’re working on their plans about exactly what they will do, and in the last conversation we had with them, they indicated that we’ll be back in touch with the university, sometime in the near future, about what they want. We haven’t made any formal commitments yet,” Madden said. The tenants currently occupying the purchased properties will not be forced to leave. “Our intent is to honor all the leases of the tenants who are there,” Rognes said. Kingland’s revitalization effort comes on the heels of the failed Kansas City property group LANE4 effort three years ago. Madden is more hopeful of this renewal effort, however. “I think we are more encouraged this will move along for a couple reasons: One, Kingland has, in fact, acquired the real estate. When LANE4 was working on this, they had options, but never really actually acquired the real estate. Secondly, the economy today is really better than it was when this was going on three or four years ago. There seems to be a lot more interest in Campustown,” Madden said. “I think the Campustown environment is much better than it was four years ago.” While the buildings are already pur-

chased, change will not happen immediately, especially if construction is involved. “Our expectation is that we would look at building a new building. But the planning for that will happen during the first and second quarter of 2013,” Rognes said. “These kinds of projects take time,” Madden said. Campustown already has changes on the way. The Kum & Go at the corner of Welch Avenue and Chamberlain Street is looking to expand. The Chamber of Commerce Campustown Organization has hired an executive director and is “actively involved in trying to expand the Campustown area,” Madden said. “We’d like to see more retail, restaurant and food establishments in the
Campustown area, and I’m hopeful that some of that will come to be as a result of some of this interest and activity,” Madden said. “Ames is an area that appears to have some re-energizing and some revitalization of its retail areas, and all of that is good for the community and university students, as well as faculty and staff.” Rognes explained Kingland System’s excitement for the future. “The Ames operation for us and the company is very important for us and being close to the university is very important as well, so we’re very excited that we were able to acquire these parcels and look forward to doing something here in 2013 and 2014 with the space,” Rognes said.

The Committees on Infractions are a series of independent bodies that are composed of individuals from NCAA institutions, according to the NCAA. According to a news release from Oct. 30, 2012, by the Division I Board of Directors, the newly adopted plan will be formally established on Aug. 1. “Once we’re on board, trained and up and going, we’ll have responsibility for hearing cases and making findings and recommendations,” Hill said. “The obligation in this process is to participate in meetings, a training and [be] an active member of the committee.”

You need that sense of relatability with ... men who have gone through some sort of issue, they have the opportunity for mentorship,” Hall said. Gaskin said the Men of Color Collective has basic similarities to its counterpart on campus, the Women of Color Collective. “What we really try to do is build a kind of cohort of student leaders who
Hill said Iowa State is also making a contribution to this project by letting him take the time to be a part of the revised Committee on Infractions. “President [Steven] Leath didn’t have to say ‘I will make it possible for [Hill] to participate and do the kind of things’ this will require,” Hill said. “There [is] going to be some time involved with this thing.” Members of the committee will be required to meet at least twice a year to review cases across the members and check the consistency, according to a news release from Oct. 30, 2012. The revised formation of the Division I committee will be more organized and will be a better overall representation of action taken against infractions. “The new multi-level violation structure allows infractions to be more appropriately categorized,” said Oregon State President Ed Ray in the news release from 2012. “In turn, penalties may be prescribed that better reflect the severity of the infraction.”

Hanna said the Campustown Action Association is currently looking into other options to develop within the Campustown area, for example, more green space and new restaurants to give the entire block an entirely new feel. “I think the economic boost will come no matter what we do as we continue to improve the district both visually and by continuing to work with our current and future business owners to bring small businesses to the district, selling goods and services that the Ames community is missing elsewhere,” Hanna said.

wanted to have these conversations and then build from within,” Gaskin said. “One of the things that the model in Oakland [did] was starting from a sense of unity in the very beginning and then holding the conversations to develop trust.” The first meeting will provide information about the group’s goals and start the conversation about issues men of color are facing. Gaskin wants the first meeting to supply the collective with feedback from students on the things that are important to them. “We are bringing in alumni from the university or just faculty and staff that just are in position of success or have [successful] jobs. Literally just someone that these undergraduate
When an NCAA infraction is brought to the committee, Hill said that from the “pool” of members, some will be selected to hear the case and their obligations will begin then. “That means you could have two or three hearings going on at one time, which will help expedite those cases that will come before the Committee on Infractions,” Hill said. Something others within the committee might not have that Hill does is a unique perspective of a student-oriented background. “A lot of the people on the committee are athletic administrators, private citizens who, not all, but a significant amount of them are city attorneys,” Hill said. “So they’re looking at things from a legal perspective [and] a administrative perspective.” Being someone who has been focused solely on student advancement and student living all of his life, Hill said his perspective will only enhance the skill set of the Committee on Infractions.
men can look up to and say ‘Whoa we came from the same similar background, yet you made it,’” Hall said. Gaskin has been incredibly impressed by the initiative of the students willing to get involved in the Men of Color Collective. “It’s very student-driven. I keep saying and we all keep saying, ‘It’s their show.’ We, as staff advisers, we’re here to assist and support them,” Gaskin said. The outcome of the group will hopefully create a better understanding between peers about racial issues, Gaskin said. “You know, I think that the conversations we’re having about diversity on campus are going to lead us to a better place,” Gaskin said.

variety of violence across America. The core component that we must deal with is … mental illness. That’s how we as a society can more appropriately address these concerns,” Fitzgerald said. Fitzgerald, alongside Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Police and Police Chief John Edwards of Oak Creek, Wisconsin made an appearance on CNN with Piers Morgan later on Monday. During the program, Fitzgerald reiterated his point on mental health. It is clear, however, that mental health is not the only topic being addressed as the discussion on gun violence continues.
According to the Oct. 30, 2012, news release, “the new structure becomes effective Aug. 1, 2013, which means the following as far as processing cases is concerned:” ■■ Conduct breaches that occurred before Oct. 30, 2012, and are processed before Aug. 1, 2013, will be subject to the current process and penalties. ■■ Conduct breaches that occurred before Oct. 30, 2012, but are processed after Aug. 1, 2013, would be subject to the new process but would incur the more lenient of the two penalty structures (current and revised). ■■ Conduct breaches that occurred during a span that includes both before and after Oct. 30, 2012, and are processed after Aug. 1, 2013, will be subject to new process and the revised penalties as long as most of the violations occurred after Oct. 30, 2012.

Assault led by confusion
GSB needs to improve its transparency With the abolition of the Government of the Student Body Senate’s “Connecting with Constituents” program and the substitution of a point system that awards points for a wide range of activities, GSB refined the outreach it does with the student body it is supposed to represent. However, another Senate bill that passed last week, which also would have improved interaction between students and GSB, met GSB President Jared Knight’s veto pen on Friday. That piece of legislation, the “transparency bill,” would have required the executive branch’s webmaster to upload current legislation, agendas, minutes and recordings of meetings to the website. In what is perhaps an unusual effort to be constructive and call attention to an important issue, we will refrain from commenting on Knight’s response. It is sufficient to state some of his concerns, if addressed, would hash out details which probably should find resolution. As to a charge that GSB executives did not work with the Senate in crafting the legislation and vice-versa, we think it sufficient to say, clearly, the members of GSB should think of themselves not as members of exec or as senators, but as members of GSB. If senators seek to override the veto, they should do so in a way that improves it. The real issue is that we are in the year 2013, and the go-to source for any organization is its website. The Internet is the great repository of human knowledge, and webpages allow us to navigate it. GSB’s website is woefully inadequate. It does not begin to meet basic governmental functions, vital to any political organization that seeks to engage the people it represents. Remember, in opening meetings Vice President Katie Brown reads: “All students are members and participants in the Government of the Student Body and as such are encouraged to take part in discussion of senate bills and orders or issues affecting students.” Rather than enabling students to be part of the process, the website only assists students with contacting GSB members and with understanding the process by which they can obtain a part of the money paid in student fees. You can’t read the bills which have been introduced. You can’t read the agenda for the next meeting and decide whether you should attend and voice your opinion. You can’t read the minutes and understand the issues senators had with a bill. You can’t watch video or listen to audio of a Senate meeting. In short: If you want to discover what GSB is doing, you can’t. Knight has graciously said all he or the webmaster needs is a request to upload particular documents, notwithstanding their current workloads. Granted, a student is always busy, especially when he is president of GSB, and a webmaster is always busy when building a website and moving content around. But we shouldn’t have to ask. Allowing us, as students who subsidize other students’ extracurriculars, to view basic governmental documents so we can participate, is the essence of democratic government. Action cannot be delayed because the original bill was vetoed.

Photo courtesy of Flickr/TimoStudios Confusing firearm terms has been a primary tactic employed by the Violence Policy Center to achieve its weapon-banning agenda. By using terms such as “assault weapons” in place of “assault rifles,” the group is misleading an uneducated audience into supporting its agenda.
I
am a democrat, and I like guns. As a young college student on the verge of uncovering my personal political affiliation, I tentatively but confidently declare myself a democrat. When it comes to the basics, I find I easily identify myself with those who sit on the left side of political matters. That is, however, until gun control comes up. As a democrat, the notion of restricting “assault weapons” made sense to me. That is, until recently, when I took the time to learn more about the issue. The term “assault weapon” is heard everywhere today: in the news, from the mouths of government leaders, even by men over their early morning coffee. It has become a term that is presumed to be common knowledge and popular among in everyday conversations. But those who use this term, and others who are on the receiving end of the criticism thrown at these weapons, rarely know what exactly it means for a gun to be identified as an “assault weapon.” According to research reported in an article published in the American Journal of Criminal Law, the term “assault weapon” was coined by the media in 1989. TIME Magazine used it in an article covering the Stockton Massacre. The term was picked up not only by the public, but our government as well, and has been spreading like wildfire ever since. “Assault weapon” is in fact a fictional term, having no clear-cut definition. It is used today by the government to refer to the firearms used in mass shootings. If the term is fictional, then how can it be used so widely in conversation today? The answer is confusion. An “assault weapon” is a fictional term, but an “assault rifle” is not, and the two definitions have become so intertwined today it’s turned into a catastrophe of a mess trying to get them sorted out again. An “assault rifle” refers to a machine gun, an automatic weapon firing multiple shots with a single trigger pull. An “assault weapon,”
By Mackenzie.Nading @iowastatedaily.com
the term used to refer to semi-automatic firearms legal for civilians to own, can only fire a single shot each time the trigger is pulled. Because of this difference in characteristics, an assault weapon is much less dangerous than an assault rifle. To put it simply: an “assault rifle” is one that can be seen in popular action movies where a villain is taking aim upon his victims, firing countless shots right in a row without ever taking his finger off the trigger. On the other hand, an “assault weapon” can range from handguns to the old wooden shotgun your grandpa has in his basement, to the revolver handgun John Wayne used to protect the Old West. We use the term “assault weapon” to describe guns used in mass murder shootings, yet none of these guns have ever been used in one. In fact, most hardly ever see more than a couple deer hunting seasons or the inside of a glass display case. These are guns that many see as harmless, yet we still call them “assault weapons” and confuse them with machine guns. Although all the “assault weapons” mentioned above are generally looked upon as docile firearms, there is another “assault weapon” that keeps the confusion of terms circulating. The AR-15 rifle, the most popular rifle sold in the United States today, has been put under a lot of heat recently. If you aren’t familiar with this gun, one Google search can explain why this firearm is capitalized on by anti-gun coalitions and politicians: because it looks scary. Compared to your grandpa’s shotgun or John Wayne’s revolver, the AR-15 has a sleek black look to it, giving it a menacing feel. It has advanced attachments that do nothing to make
the gun more powerful, but place it under a lot of scrutiny for making it stand out among other “assault weapons.” The AR-15 resembles a machine gun closely, and is therefore commonly mistaken by the public and media as functioning like one as well. Now with the term “assault weapon” attached to the gun, it becomes even more commonly confused with its “assault rifle” cousin. The talk about stricter gun regulations isn’t a new topic. Since 1988, the Violence Policy Center, a national coalition working to tighten the regulation of firearms in the United States, has been in operation and in opposition against the National Rifle Association. John Sugarmann is the executive director and founder of the Violence Policy Center. Sugarmann is also a brilliant propagandist, and he used his skills to further confuse the public with the terms “assault weapon” and “assault rifle.” Sugarmann said himself, “Assault weapons — just like armor-piercing bullets, machine guns, and plastic firearms — are a new topic. The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.” The man who charged the anti-gun movement years ago said it himself: They are using the confusion of terms and the uneducated public to further increase the support of restricting firearms. It’s important to really listen to what the media and politicians are saying about gun control in America. If we aren’t more careful to properly identify terms being used to inform us, we could end up going down a road that leaves our population defenseless and eating right out of the hands of men like Sugarmann.

Politics
Vote for merit, not diversity T
here has been a kerfuffle concerning President Barack Obama’s appointment of all white males to the “big” Cabinet posts. Why though? Does being a woman or a minority mean that an individual will represent those sharing their particular traits? That’s what some folks would have you believe, but is it really so? Yes, it is commonplace to find that a female candidate for elected office has, as a part of her platform, a devotion to issues targeted more toward women. That is politics, though. Politicians pander to a particular demographic in order to attain more votes. Sometimes the devotion to an issue is legitimate, sometimes it is a dog-and-pony show to get the win. That’s not to say the candidate doesn’t support the given issue(s), but that those issues wouldn’t really be one of their priorities were it not for the need to sway General information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students
By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com particular people. However, the Cabinet posts are not elected officials, they are appointed, so those folks might decide to focus on items that don’t represent the demographics of the people they are to represent overall. The goal of having such diversity is, well, to work towards diversity and the merits implied. You see it in the workplace and schools all the time. Those in positions of hiring or inclusion believe diversity to be an important fix to dealing with some of the problems of patriarchy and white-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant domination.

secretary, said, “The president believes that diversity is important because having diversity increases the excellence of the pool of advisers around you, the pool of the staff that you have here. And I think that will be true in the second term.” Those are goals that need to be addressed, as white does not mean right, nor does being a woman mean being less apt than a man. At the same time you have to ask yourself if a push for diversity is really in line with the goals of such diversity plans; to provide for the overall good of people. Having a woman in a position of power does not mean women are suddenly going to receive increased pay at jobs across the nation or find a universal upswing of other women in positions of power. It does encourage other women by letting them know patriarchy might be losing its dastardly hold. It likely means said woman $62, annually, for the general public.

in power will work toward the goal of making sure other women are not relegated to lesser positions in jobs, but there is no guarantee. What is to say that a man in the same position will not champion the same or to an even greater degree on behalf of balancing the scale to eliminate sexual discrimination? Now look to minorities. Does being black or Latino mean those particularly large percentages of the nation will no longer suffer from the historical lording over by some white folks with superiority complexes? Does that mean the odds of overcoming ethnic discrimination are unlikely to be achieved by someone if they are white? I’ve seen efforts for diversity in schools, workplaces and clubs; sometimes those efforts really do add to the overall excellence of the pool of people. Often enough

>>DIVERSITY.p4A though, I’ve seen those efforts fall short of their goal because the people chosen weren’t as effective as hoped at upping quality. Maybe it is necessary to use affirmative action techniques to ensure diversity and representation so we can learn from each other and be shiny, happy people living in unity. Personally, I fall more in line with merit-based appointments. I prefer my groups and workplace and leaders to be the cream of the crop; at least the best that can be had for the overall tasks. If you are a woman or a minority, it hardly matters unless those traits are highly pertinent to the demands. What I care about is if you do the job you are meant to do with the highest balance of efficiency and prosperity. I want men, women, blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, anyone really, to all have the same opportunities to prosper and live a happy life free from too much toil. To achieve that, I would rather have the “best” person(s) for the job, even if the seeming power of diversity and representation is not in line with the population demographics that make up the United States. That merit suggestion doesn’t guarantee Obama’s appointment of those four white guys to what are understood to be the top four posts in the president’s Cabinet — secretary of state, secretary of the treasury, secretary of defense and attorney general — as the most apt choices, but perhaps overall they are the “best” choices

for the job given Obama’s goals and the future prosperity of the world. Maybe you like Obama; maybe you don’t. But what gives anyone the impression Obama didn’t think about some female or minority candidates when making his Cabinet appointments and merely that the choices made didn’t happen to be women or minorities? Would Machiavelli be dead-on with an Obama assessment with the general assertion that absolute power corrupts absolutely? Maybe diversity should be looked at as a relevant factor, but in the end merit should win. Merit-based appointments aren’t the absolute of equality. Some people are simply better at some things than others; that’s how life works. Merit is giving all an equal opportunity to be great, to let ability determine the winner. None of this is to say women and minorities will not be better served, generally, by having a woman or minority in a position of power looking out for their interests. Nor is it saying merit means all people had equal chances from the get-go, as discrimination can still occur when folks are unscrupulous. But don’t fall into the trap of believing the mere act of diversity ensures that baseline of equal opportunity for all, or that you need a person of the same sex or ethnicity in order to have your interests looked out for.

This week’s schedule
Ryan Kooiker has always been a leader on the mat as an accomplished high school wrestler. Now, he is becoming a leader in another arena: The United States Air Force. Kooiker joined the Iowa Air National Guard right after high school and is now serving with the Security Forces Squadron at the 132nd Fighter Wing in Des Moines. “I have always wanted to be in the military since I was a little kid,” Kooiker said. Kooiker recently returned from Oman, a Middle Eastern country east of Saudi Arabia, where he served seven months in Security Forces. Throughout all of his training in the military, Kooiker said discipline is the biggest life lesson he has learned and been able to apply to his everyday life. However, life has not always been about the military for Kooiker. At the age of five, his stepdad introduced him to wrestling. Kooiker joined a children’s club team that met three times a week. Kooiker continued to wrestle throughout middle school and high

for the last two years. In his situation, Byrnes said it is hard to be a full-time coach but Kooiker has helped ease those troubles. “He is the facilitator and he tries to get things moving,” Byrnes said. Byrnes said Kooiker not only attends every practice but also works out off the mat as well. Byrnes also believes the discipline Kooiker learned in the military has translated to his life on the mat for the wrestling club, while he also has to balance his schoolwork. Kooiker has performed well on the mat in competition in his two years with the club. Last year, Kooiker won an NAIA-level tournament at Buena Vista in Storm Lake, Iowa. Kooiker qualified for nationals last year but could not participate due
to his deployment to Oman. After coming home from his deployment to Oman this past year, Kooiker wrestled in that same tournament at Buena Vista, bowing out to an NAIA national champion. He went on to finish in fourth place in the tournament. Byrnes said Kooiker entered the tournament with no more than two days of practice under his belt since returning to the mat from deployment. Kooiker tried to try out for the ISU varsity wrestling team, but was unable to make the deadline due to his employment. Byrnes still feels that Kooiker has the attitude and ability to someday wrestle at the NCAA level. Kooiker currently wrestles at 184 pounds and continues to work hard while attending as many of the meets as possible. In his most recent tournament, the ISU club wrestling tournament at State Gym, Kooiker went 4-0 to take first at 184 pounds. Byrnes also feels that this club has given Kooiker a chance to fulfill his own dreams in the sport of wrestling. “I want to be a leader,” said Kooiker, whose hope one day is to be a leader in the Air Force as a commissioned officer.

school, where he wrestled at 130, 145, 152 and 160 pounds. In sixth grade, Kooiker met the coach that would end up coaching him six out of the next seven years. Troy Houge was a middle school wrestling coach at Collins-MaxwellBaxter who would go on to be the high school wrestling coach during Kooiker’s eighth grade year. Houge knew that Kooiker would be a tough wrestler because of his work ethic. “He has a phenomenal work ethic,” Houge said. “He pushed it to the limits. He was one of those guys who just kept coming at you, so there were very few kids who could ever outwork him in a match.” During his senior year, Kooiker placed second at the Iowa state wrestling tournament at 160 pounds. Houge believed that because of his work ethic Kooiker would become a strong leader. Kooiker was also introduced to the Iowa State wrestling club when he got to Ames. One of Kooiker’s friends introduced him to Zach Byrnes, who is the president and student coach for the Iowa State club team. Byrnes helped start the wrestling club with a couple of buddies in 2010 and has been wrestling competitively

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com Wednesday night the ISU men’s basketball team will attempt something it hasn’t done in 25 years — beat Oklahoma State at Gallagher-Iba Arena. During the Hoiberg era, the Cyclones (14-5, 4-2 Big 12) are 0-2 against the Cowboys (13-5, 3-3) in Stillwater, Okla. “Obviously for us it’s been very tough; we haven’t won there since ‘88,” Hoiberg said. “We certainly have had our chances the last two years. We lost in overtime two years ago, and last year Nash hits the shot.” A new Cowboys team awaits Iowa State this year. Leaving the helm of point guard is the 5-foot-9-inch, 165-pound, lights-out shooting skill that was Keiton Page. Cyclone fans will remember Page scoring 21 points at Hilton Coliseum last year, including a pair of free throws that put the Cowboys ahead 68-65 before a Tyrus McGee transition 3-pointer and a game-winning Scott Christopherson 3-pointer ended it. The new point guard at the helm of the Cowboys is the 6-foot-4-inch, 225-pound, No. 1-ranked shooting guard in the freshman class Marcus Smart. Hoiberg has heard about Smart before from none other than Florida coach Billy Donovan, who as the coach of the U.S.A. U-18 men’s national team had Smart on his roster. “I remember talking to Billy Donovan last year and their U-18 team; he thought Marcus Smart was their best player,” Hoiberg said. “Just with his overall ability to get everybody involved and make the right play.” Smart is currently ranked in the top 10 in the Big 12 for scoring at 13.2 points per game, along with a top-10 mark in assists and leads the Big 12 in steals with 2.7 per game. “He’s a beast,” Hoiberg said of Smart. “So we’re going to have to get creative in our matchups and try to
Slowing it down Slowing it down In its last four games of the conference schedule, Iowa State has scored 73 points or fewer and has scored in the 60s the last three out of four. One tact opposing defenses have attempted is to get Iowa State out of its transition offense. The Cyclones also average 62 shots per game, but have had fewer than that number and in the 50s every game of the Big 12 season, minus the overtime thriller against Kansas. ISU point guard Korie Lucious understands that’s how other Big 12 teams have schemed against them, saying his team is ready and has adjusted to the style of play. “Regardless of whether it’s the first 10 seconds or the last 10 seconds, we’re just trying to have a successful possession,” Lucious said.
throw some different looks at them. He’s a kid that can do it all.” Oklahoma State doesn’t just have Smart, it also boasts a number of scoring options. Fellow freshman Phil Forte dropped 26 points in Oklahoma State’s last win against West Virginia, including six 3-pointers. Also in the starting lineup is former top-10 recruit Le’Bryan Nash, who Hoiberg said “is a guy who can go out at any moment and get you 30.” That’s not even the leading scorer Markell Brown, a 6-foot-3-inch guard who averages just less than 15 points per game. Iowa State’s Chris Babb held the Big 12’s leading scorer, Kansas State’s Rodney McGruder, to under his seasonal averages in the win on Saturday, and will most likely shoulder the load in chasing Smart or Nash around, as he did to McGruder for 40 minutes. “I think Chris is a guy who can guard anybody,” Hoiberg said. “He can play different players, he’s shown that. He can play physical guys, he can chase shooters around.”

Regardless of Vegas’ odds going in, the Cyclones still haven’t won in Stillwater in 25 years. After a players-only meeting before the game against Kansas State, the team has picked up its play and is expecting to win. With a renewed sense of urgency and unity, the team
is all on the same page. “It’s tough to win,” said Tyrus McGee, the Big 12’s leading 3-point shooter. “Like I said, it’s been about 25 years since Iowa State has won down there, so we’re looking forward to going down there and trying to get that victory Wednesday.”

Iowa State faces familiar foe By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com
Photo: Huiling Wu/ Iowa State Daily Anna Prins attempts to escape from No. 1 Baylor during the 66-51 loss on Jan. 23 at Hilton Coliseum. Prins will be charged with defending one of two of the Jayhawks’ large and talented post players Wednesday.
The past two meetings in Lawrence, Kan., have not gone exactly according to plan for the Cyclones. Last year, the Cyclones lost in a double-overtime thriller at the Allen Fieldhouse. The year before that, a one-point overtime stunner sent the Cyclones back to Ames with a loss. This year, ISU coach Bill Fennelly’s company will keep in mind the kind of team they’re facing on the road: A team similar to what they’ve faced before. “A team that has their whole team back, including Carolyn Davis,” Fennelly said. “A team we’ve had great games with. We’re playing in a historic place and against a ... very experienced team.” Davis had made her debut this season after emerging from an ACL tear last year, which ended her season.
Bouncing back with resilience, Davis is leading the Jayhawks (12-6, 3-4 Big 12) in nearly every category this year, including points with 270 and points per game with 15. Even though Fennelly said this is a team that has most of the same people back, there is something more unique about the Kansas Jayhawks squad than years past, presenting new challenges with familiar problems. “Unlike some of the teams we’ve played, probably since Texas, [have] they [had] two really good, long, athletic post players,” Fennelly said. “We’ve run into teams that have one big guy, [but] they have two.” Davis and sophomore Chelsea Gardner are both 6-foot-3-inch forwards that make defending difficult for opponents. Davis’ lethality comes from being able to score so quickly from the post position. Getting a second-straight road win can be huge for the Cyclones come tournament time, players said. Senior Anna Prins said the thoughts of
the NCAA tournament are starting to creep up. “Always in the back of our minds is the NCAA tournament,” Prins said. “The short term, just focusing on the season one game at a time. But shoot, fighting for the best seed is definitely key and it does feel a lot better where we’re at now than where we were at last year.” Freshman Nicole “Kidd” Blaskowski said after their come-from-behind win at West Virgina, road victories will help propel the Cyclones into the NCAA tournament for the seventh consecutive season. “We need finish out [the month] like coach has been telling us,” Blaskowski said. “That win was very meaningful for us because it was our step back into what we needed to get done and definitely helps us get into the tournament.” The Cyclones tip off against the Jayhawks at Phog Allen Fieldhouse Wednesday at 7 p.m.
Track and field
Efkamp achieves success, team strives for big year By Ryan.Berg @iowastatedaily.com After three meets, the 2012-13 track and field season has been a memorable one for sophomore Nick Efkamp. In the first meet of the season, the ISU sprinter won the 300-meter dash (33.93) and was one of the Cyclones’ 16 wins that day. The second meet of the season had him in a different event with the same result as he won the 400-meter dash (46.75) and also placed third (21.61) in the 200-meter dash during the ISU Open with roughly 100 competitors. In the meet Jan. 24-26, the Bill Bergan Invitational, Efkamp ran his personal best (21.35) while taking first in the 200-meter dash. Efkamp also placed sixth in the 60-meter dash (6.93). “Confidence is a big thing at this level,” Efkamp said. “I think that winning races brings personal best times, but confidence comes from doing every rep. the way coach wants it and as close to perfect as you can get it in practice day in and day out.” Efkamp’s improvement has come at the right time, with less than one month remaining until the Big 12 Championships.
School record broken Edward Kemboi broke Iowa State’s school record in the 800-meter run during the Bill Bergan Invitational last weekend with a time of 1:47.43. The record has been around since 2008 and was previously held by James Galvan (1:48.36). Kemboi also took first in the event in addition to breaking the record.
“He’s always been a fierce competitor with a lot of confidence, and you have to have that on the track,” said assistant coach Nate Wiens. “His times are ranked in the nation and our big goal for him is to become an All-American.” Growing up in Madrid, Iowa, Efkamp has had the privilege of seeing his family and hometown friends cheer him on during home meets. “I am at Iowa State because I wanted my family, friends and old coaches to be able to watch me compete,” Efkamp said. “They are the reason I am where I am today, so I feel like they deserve to see me still competing.”

Make wedding gifts personal, homemade
Give personalized present to make meaningful, memorable impact By Katherine.Klingseis @iowastatedaily.com
Wedding gifts are sometimes hard to buy. Many people go the sensible route: They buy the couple kitchen appliances or some other household goods. These gifts are safe and couples are usually happy to accept them. However, when you go the traditional, sensible route, you are destined to receive a “oh, we really need this” or a “that’s very thoughtful of you.” Unless you give the gift to a really nice, albeit dishonest, couple, you probably will never get a “wow, this is the most interesting gift we have ever received.” The best way to elicit the latter response is to make your wedding gift to the couple personal. You can do this by giving them something related to an inside joke or maybe a gift relating to memories you have with the couple. With that said, many people do not have problems buying gifts for people they know well. It is buying gifts for acquaintances that is difficult. If you do not know the couple very well and still want to buy them a gift, you can still keep your gift personal. You can do this by making a gift yourself, instead of buying one. To find some DIY wedding gift ideas, do a little searching online. As with most craft-related searches, Pinterest will probably show up in your search results. Pinterest is a website where people can “pin” things to share with others. If you can’t find anything on Pinterest, check out Etsy, which is a website that sells handmade items. You can buy the gift on Etsy or copy the idea and create it yourself. Finally, if you want to be truly original, grab some craft supplies and experiment making your gift. Not only will you have fun crafting, but you will create a gift that isn’t even on Pinterest or Etsy yet. You will be a craft hipster.

By Steph.Ferguson AmesEats Flavors Writer The wait for football fans will be over Sunday. Fans will watch the battle between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to the game, commercials and Beyonce at the half-time show, add a twist to your party with some popular dishes from the East Coast and the West Coast. Hailing from Baltimore, pit beef is a version of barbecue that yields a tender, rare and juicy inside cooked with a crunchy exterior. Pit beef is a star because instead of smoking, this cut of top
round is grilled until rare. After cooked, the meat is sliced paper-thin and is served in between two slices of bread. Top with classic horseradish and you have yourself a mouth-watering meal that will keep all your guests full. Areas of California, especially San Francisco, are known for their many different selections of food. Food from Japan, Mexico, China and other places around the globe make up this culinary melting pot of a city. Unique to this coastline is the Ghirardelli Square. Since 1893, this chocolate factory has called San Francisco its home, churning out delicious chocolate to be sold all over the globe. After halftime, serve up some
rocky road cupcakes to your guests. The sugar will keep them energized for the rest of the game.
Pit Beef: ■■ 8 whole wheat buns ■■ 2-3 pounds roast beef deli meat slices (rare to medium-rare is best) ■■ 2 onions, sliced ■■ 1 tomato, sliced ■■ horseradish sauce
Spread horseradish on buns. Assemble bottom bun with deli meat, onions and tomato and
cover with top bun.
Ghirardelli Cupcakes: ■■ 1 box of chocolate cake mix ■■ 1 1/2 cups Ghirardelli dark chocolate chips or coarsely chopped pieces, divided in half ■■ 1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts ■■ 1 cup mini marshmallows
Make cake mix as directed by manufactuer. Stir in walnuts and half of the chopped chocolate pieces. When cupcakes are done, gently press the marshmallows and rest of chocolate pieces into the tops of the cupcakes.
Portion control
Maintain resolutions during the big game By Lauren.Grant AmesEats Flavors writer The Super Bowl comes once a year. Like other holidays, it is a great chance to throw a party. There are many details that go into throwing a great Superbowl party. A big TV, great surround sound, drinks and, of course, classic food. But don’t let this year’s Superbowl endanger your New Year’s resolution. Try these recipes that focus on portion control to help you from mindless eating.
Single Play Taco-Dip
on preference. On top of the beans layer on the salsa, then layer the corn, gauacmole, sour cream and sprinkle on top the cheese. Serve with corn or tortilla chips. Make it lighter: ■■ Make your own guacamole or replace guacamole layer with thinly sliced avocado ■■ Use plain greek yogurt in place of sour cream ■■ Buy baked corn or tortilla chips ■■ Use whole black beans, mashed
#1 Fan Jell-O These personal Jell-O cups are a fun way to express your team pride. Layer different flavors of Jell-O in small clear cups to show off your team colors.
Chips and queso are no longer the stars of the party. This layered taco dip is a lot of fun and packs a ton of flavor. Ingredients: ■■ 8 (9-ounce) clear plastic cups ■■ corn chips or tortilla chips ■■ 1 can low-fat refried beans ■■ 1 package of taco seasoning or Tabasco sauce ■■ 1 ½ cups guacamole ■■ 1 ½ cup salsa ■■ 1 ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, Pepper Jack, et cetera) ■■ 1 cup sour cream ■■ ¼ cup canned corn
Mix refried beans and taco seasoning in a small bowl. Place 1-2 tablespoons of beans at the bottom of the cup. Not each layer will contain 1-3 tablespoons of each ingredient, depending
Did you know that if you bring your own cup to any retail location, you save $0.35 on your hot or cold beverage!? Save some coin and save a cup from going to the landfill.
Ingredients: ■■ Clear plastic cups ■■ 1 3-oz. package of gelatin for each team color
Set cups on a sheet pan. Prepare first desired color of gelatin following package instructions. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of gelatin into each clear cup. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes or until set. Prepare second color as you did the first, pour another layer into the cups and refrigerate until set. Continue with this process until cups are full or all colors have been used.
Crowd-pleasing Grilled Cheese and Bacon Bites A party needs more than just chips and dip. Small sandwiches are a great addition to the finger food tray. Try these classic grilled cheese bites without filling up on a whole sandwich.
Ingredients: ■■ 8 slices of bread ■■ 8 slices of sharp cheddar cheese ■■ 12 slices of bacon cooked until crispy ■■ butter ■■ optional: whole grain or Dijon mustard ■■ optional: green apples, thinly sliced
Butter each piece of bread on one side and lie butter-side down. On four slices, place a piece of cheese, 3 pieces of bacon, sliced apple if desired and one more slice of cheddar. If you wish, add Dijon or whole grain mustard on the non-buttered side of the bread and place mustard-side down on top of the sandwich. Grill in a pan over medium heat until golden brown on each side, and cheese is melted. Remove sandwiches from the pan and cut into fourths to create smaller portions. Stick a toothpick into each mini sandwich and serve.
Quick Bites
During the Super Bowl this weekend, it has been predicted that 1.23 billion chicken wings will be devoured, according to the National Chicken Council. “If 1.23 billion wing segments were laid end-to-end, they would stretch from Candlestick Park in San Francisco to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore 27 times,” according to a press release by the National Chicken Council.

Fun Facts France’s last execution via guillotine was in 1977. Muhammad Ali wasn’t just a great boxer; he was apparently a beacon for extraterrestrials. He claims to have seen UFOs on multiple occasions, notably during a 1971 jog through New York’s Central Park. Author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s full name was Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, named after a distant cousin who happened to write “The StarSpangled Banner.” Harvard research from 2003 revealed that mothers pregnant with male babies tend to eat more than those carrying females. Cotton candy only costs about six cents per serving to make, including the cardboard cone. Legendary poolshark Minnesota Fats was actually from New York. He lifted his moniker from a fictional character in the film The Hustler. The nose print of a dog is like the fingerprint of a person: no two are alike. Get a good relief and you can identify your dog by the mark it leaves behind! Gremlins was one of two movies to influence the start of the PG-13 rating. The other was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Ma
