Following a six-month delay, this spring, ISU students will be able to set their eyes on a new style of transportation. The Orange Route, which is currently the busiest bus route in the state of Iowa with 1,519,827 riders during the 2011 fiscal year, will see the addition of two new Nova articulated buses, better known as “accordion buses.” These buses were originally supposed to be delivered to Iowa State in August 2012, prior to the start of the fall semester. The buses are now expected to arrive at CyRide sometime in February and could make their debut — at the earliest — on the Orange Route after spring break. According to Sheri Kyras, director of transit for CyRide, the buses were delayed for several reasons. CyRide’s new buses are some of the first buses to feature Nova’s new interior design,

and there was a delay in production because Nova had to work out some bugs with the new interior design. The second reason for the delay had to do with new paint standards for buses. Kyras stated that there are only a few places in the United States that meet the new paint standards, therefore CyRide’s buses got stuck behind other companies during the painting process. “We are frustrated; we would have loved to have them to begin the fall semester,” Kyras said. “On the other hand, we chose the manufacturer because of what they offer.” The articulated buses measure 62 feet, which is currently 22 feet longer than CyRide’s largest bus. They seat 60 people but can, including standing room, hold a total of 120 people. The buses have a stainless steel frame, which gives them an increased lifespan. They contain wider aisles for easier move-

What began as Ray Schmidt’s attraction to the colors of Anderson Erickson yogurt lids became roommate Ben Shaffer and Schmidt’s dorm room decoration. Schmidt, sophomore pre-graphic design, and Shaffer, freshman civil engineering, have taken lids from yogurt containers and placed nearly 600 on the ceiling of their Helser Hall dorm room bringing color and attention to their room. This unorthodox room decoration led to Schmidt and Shaffer’s nickname “the Yogurt Guys.” “I’m a design student, so the bold colors [of the lids] stood out to me,” Schmidt said. “I thought there had to be something I could do with them.” The lids were originally collected when Schmidt added yogurt regularly to his meal bundles at Clyde’s before winter break. Shaffer then contributed to the collection as well and began using the lids to line their loft beds. “I was eating a lot of yogurt then and just held onto the lids,” Schmidt said. Shaffer said that the number of lids reached a point where they could no longer be used to just line the lofts. That was when the lids began covering the ceiling. “We started sticking them to the ceiling with sticky tack,” Shaffer said.

Going away to college is a major adjustment, but attending school in an unfamiliar country with a different language and culture is difficult. There are thousands of international students at Iowa State, both undergraduate and graduate students. Students like those from China arrive here with nearly 2,000 others from their home country. While others arrive on campus as the only ones from their respective countries. Twenty-seven countries are represented by only one student at Iowa State. Batzaya “Zack” Batsaikhan, graduate student in education, said that the transition was tough. Batsaikhan is from Ulan Bator, the capital city of Mongolia. “One of my biggest challenges was that I felt very intimated by graduate school at first,” Batsaikhan said. “... But

after a while I realized I was only intimidating myself.” Batsaikhan came to America about a year ago and was able to meet some Americans in his work before coming here; which eased the transition into this culture. “It’s not very different. I did not face any difficulty plunging into American culture,” Batsaikhan said. “I am kind of used to traveling and open to anything and Mongolia is maybe the most westernized Asian country in the world.

I didn’t even notice the process to acclimate to the culture. I didn’t feel too many culture strikes.” Wang said that Iowa State provided him with the tools he needed to adapt to the culture as well as the academic resources to succeed as a graduate research assistant for the college of engineering. He has been in the United States since December 2012. “Iowa State has better education sources, better faculty sources and more opportunities to participate,” Wang said. Wang has picked up on some American culture in his time here, and enjoys spending time with his friends from other countries as well as his American friends. “After a lot of study and research, friends get together to have dinner and have fun.” Wang said. Wang and Batsaikhan each offered advice for international students planning to attend school in the United States. “Think twice before making your decision,” Wang said.

Egyptians speak up about new regime Citizens try to be optimistic, despite Mubarak’s overthrow By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com It’s been two years since millions-strong protests in Egypt toppled the long-time government of Hosni Mubarak in a public display unheard of in the Arab world. Major protests in Cairo and other Egyptian cities from Jan. 25 to Feb. 11, 2011, launched in response to other Arab Spring protests throughout other Middle East and North African countries. The protests were so massive and overwhelming that Mubarak had no choice but to leave office and hand over power to the armed forces. Since that February day, Egypt has undergone a political and cultural transition to attempt to find itself and recover after more than 60 years of consecutive dictatorships. In June 2012, Mohamed Morsi and his Islamic political party, the Muslim Brotherhood, took control of the presidency and parliament, beating out secular, Christian, and ultra-conservative parties alike. Despite this, continued protests in Cairo and other cities shows many Egyptians still want reform. “Egyptians have shown great determination to preserve the gains of the revolution and not let the country fall back into the throes of dictatorship. They have been very involved in this transitional phase that their country is going through,” said Nell Gabiam, assistant professor of anthropology and political science. “Central to a working democracy is that the voices of the people be heard, and I think it’s a good sign that Egyptians of different gender, age, class, political persuasion have continued to converge on Tahrir Square even after the fall of Mubarak, that they have insisted on holding Mohamad Morsi accountable for his actions, and insisted on seeing a transition toward a more just and democratic system.” Gabiam also pointed out the fragility of the nation’s young democracy as well as its continued vulnerability to violence and social unrest. “The negative side is that this being a transitional moment, it is also a fragile one, and one that is easily exploitable for particular political interests rather than concern for the country,” Gabiam said. “The flaring up of violence has sometimes been about that rather than concern for the ideals of the revolution.” Another major issue facing Egypt is the rift between the military and the people. When Mubarak left, the military’s Supreme Council of the Armed Forces took over the governance of the country and has been reluctant to hand over certain powers to the people, especially in regards to foreign affairs. For example, it wasn’t until a year after the revolution that elections first took place in Egypt. “I think it’s possible that the military will continue to maintain substantial influence for

some time,” Gabiam said. “So we might have this back-and-forth type of struggle but that doesn’t mean that the army will maintain substantial influence in the long term. You had a similar situation in Turkey for decades but Erdogan’s government eventually was able to strip the Turkish army of much of its power, in terms of the army’s ability to singlehandedly intervene in the affairs of the country.” Mohamed El-Mahalawy, ISU doctoral student in electrical engineering and president of the Egyptian Student Association, was on the front lines during the protests two years ago and knows first hand the difficult transition Egypt has been going through since Mubarak left power. Most importantly, he stressed his frustration over policies Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood have not followed through on. “The problem is that the scene is very complicated in Egypt. The people that are proMubarak are not over it,” El-Mahalawy said. “On the other hand, the Muslim Brotherhood is not so good in dealing with certain things like infrastructure and growing the economy. Morsi promised all of these things and he did zero. … I’m not saying anyone else would have been better, but I think they would have been transparent.” El-Mahalawy went on to say the religious and political polarization of the Muslim Brotherhood will continue to cause problems

unless they cooperate more with the opposition and listen to their concerns. “They try this new strategy that if you’re not with us, you’re against God,” El-Mahalawy said. “And when you have a revolution and people are killed, there are high expectations. If you don’t follow through, there may be another revolution and people will be very mad. … The problem is, it’s either getting better or going into a civil war.” In El-Mahalawy’s opinion, it’s hard to stay optimistic with the new government in Egypt, even though the oppressive Mubarak days may be over. He stressed higher education as central to improving life in Egypt. Though currently studying in the United States, El-Mahalawy hopes to return to Egypt someday. “Maybe six months from [now] I hope to say Egypt is getting better,” El-Mahalawy said. “At some point, I want to return to Egypt. I am hoping at some point we can produce a high level of education … Egyptian students are very smart people, but a lot of them were really oppressed by the regime and now there is this opportunity

to get it back.” Recently, beginning on the two-year anniversary of the revolution, Egyptians have taken to the streets to protest Morsi’s government. Clashes and riots have been a commonplace in cities like Cairo, Port Said and Suez, while opposition leaders have called for a national dialogue with Morsi. In response, Morsi has declared curfews and a state of emergency, a type of order which gives certain powers to the president in times of crisis. However, tens of thousands of protesters have resisted the orders and have called upon Morsi to discuss amendments to the controversial constitution recently passed by the parliament, which is seen by some as a power-grab by the Muslim Brotherhood. The next few days and weeks will undoubtedly prove decisive in Egypt’s future. While many like El-Mahalawy are still happy that Mubarak has left, there is still much work to be done, and it starts by working with the new government.

Editorial:

Bigger is not always better with dorms If you live in a dorm and want to stay where you are in the 2013-2014 academic year, be prepared. The recontracting deadlines are upon us. If your room is in Fredericksen Court, Buchanan Hall, Wallace and Wilson Halls, or University and Schilletter Village, you must file your contract by 10 p.m. Friday. For students living in Richardson Court or Union Drive, you have until Feb. 15. As students contemplate moving to a better patch of real estate (or do so, in the case of those seeking off-campus apartments), we would suggest that college students on the prowl for a place to live do not need the comforts of home. For a long time, students lived in basic accommodations such as those in Friley and Helser Halls or the Richardson Court residence halls that are nearly a century old. In the more recent past, colleges and universities, including Iowa State, have improved the residential comforts available to students living on campus. Indeed, universities use residence and dining halls to compete with one another just as they compete on an academic level. But part of being a college student is living in close quarters with other students. If you can live in Helser Hall, for example, you can live most anywhere. College isn’t supposed to be a romp that replicates a student’s bedroom at home and the comforts of living in one’s parents’ house. Instead, it should be a period of almost ascetic self-denial in which students grow their minds. Iowa State faces a very real housing problem. In fall 2012 and fall 2011 the Department of Residence needed to accommodate more students than there was space for. Building new Fredericksen Court apartments probably isn’t the best idea. For one, the capacity is limited and the space uneconomical. The six new Fredericksen Court buildings will house only a few more students (720) than Helser Hall (713) and, although we could not find specific size specifications, a look at the campus map suggests Helser occupies a much smaller space. Of course, money also is implicated in the question of whether the university should construct apartments or dormitories. According to the ISU Fact Book, tuition per year has risen by $2,458 from 2002-2003 to 2011-2012. The cost of room and board also increased, by $1,264. And the estimated cost of a double room in a residence hall rose by $953. Of course, the rate for on-campus housing varies wildly by location. This year, a double room in a traditional residence hall without air conditioning cost $4,093. If you wanted your own bedroom in a Fredericksen Court apartment, you’d pay from $5,257 to $6,424. Eaton and Martin Halls are by far the most expensive places to live on campus, ranging from $5,675 to $7,540. As students try to find more affordable ways of obtaining a college education in an environment of limited resources, and as Iowa State attempts to economically accommodate those students, the numbers speak for themselves. Living in nicer residence halls costs a lot more money in addition to costing a great deal of the traditional “college” experience.

Get real with guns U.S. can’t eliminate firearms, can only enforce regulations

reedom, violence and safety are concepts that we hold to great importance in our society. Two weeks after Obama announced his new gun safety bill and while the gun safety bills are being discussed in Congress, let’s remind ourselves of both sides of the argument. In a utopia there would be no guns. There would be no weapons or forms of harming each other. We wouldn’t need to protect ourselves from potential harm or intruders. We would have the freedom to do what we wanted when we wanted to do it. In this utopia even the thought of harming another wouldn’t exist. We do not live in a utopia; we live in reality, which means we have to think realistically. Guns are real and they are part of our society. There are Americans that own guns , and it is impossible to literally take those guns out of their hands for a few reasons. First of all, our government is a democratic republic ruled by the people of the United States. In order for anything to happen, the people have to call for it to happen. If there are enough people yelling to keep guns in our society, then the representatives must listen. Some people insist that guns should stay in our community because gun ownership represents a real form of the Second Amendment to some Americans. The Second Amendment is interpreted by a large portion of our country as the right to protect themselves. The text of the Second Amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Because these people can feel the gun in their hand as a physical symbol of freedom, protection, or safety, it becomes that much more meaningful to them.

By Claire.Yetley @iowastatedaily.com When someone can hold a real item in their hand, the reality of it makes the person’s awareness of the item that much stronger. It’s like when someone doesn’t like the idea of street-cart hot dogs. In theory, they are gross and most people would rather just not think about it, but once they’ve tasted the hot dog, the theory doesn’t matter to them any more. Because there is such a strong attachment to guns, a black market will emerge for guns if they are ever taken away. Just because we make something illegal doesn’t mean it will just go away. Is it not better to have government regulations of guns because it would be similar to having no laws at all. An example of this could be alcohol, a substance that many college students are familiar with. If young adults do drink when it is illegal, they typically binge drink. This increases health risks. Once alcohol becomes legal, it is generally less exciting to drink; it is less likely that older adults will binge drink. However there are still limits on what you can and cannot do while intoxicated; these laws are there to provide safety to the community. The bills being discussed are not threatening to take guns away from gun owners, because that is impossible. They are just making the laws stricter to obtain one. The government is trying to decipher between “good guys” and “bad guys,” which is almost impossible to distinguish. But what other choice does

Courtesy photo Daily columnist Claire Yetley thinks that it is unrealistic for Congress to eliminate guns in America. She writes that the recent debates about gun control are about who should have access to firearms, not if anyone should.

the government have? Guns, if put into the wrong hands, can cause great damage. It’s not that guns kill people, and it’s not that people kill people; it’s the combination of both guns and the wrong people that can kill people. We have seen examples of this recently with the Connecticut school shooting along with other memorable shootings in the past. The criteria to determine who gets a gun is the most controversial part. Making more licenses and permits merely says that whoever can jump through the most hoops can have a gun. Does jumping through hoops prove reason, intelligence of the law, or sound mind enough to possess a weapon? As we discuss gun safety for our nation we should keep individual greed and power out of mind while keeping safety and moderation in mind. Remember not to just voice your opinion of how you wish to live your life but how you think Americans should be able to live their lives.

Discrimination

Why does U.S. society Boy Scouts will rethink obsess about so-called anti-homosexual policies celebrities’ scandals? thanks to own movement T

Some famous people have done little to deserve status

omething that always puzzles and interests me about society (and sometimes myself ) is what seems to be our never-ending obsession with celebrities. It’s perfectly natural to know all the words to songs from your favorite band or being able to name every film your favorite actor has starred in. It’s also natural to aspire to be like someone if you share similar passions or skills. What’s NOT natural about our society’s obsession with the rich and famous is when people know every detail about celebrities’ personal lives, especially when some of these “celebrities” really don’t contribute enough to get their A-list title. The key to making the distinction between celebrities who don’t do anything and celebrities who have their own particular craft is understanding the difference between socialites and celebrities. Socialites are rich and typically the heir to a fortune or who have high-profile parents. Think the Kardashians or even Paris Hilton. Granted, some actors and musicians have famous parents, but at the same time, they did personal work to build personal success in the movie and music industries. Some socialite celebrities don’t seem to understand that their actions define what they will be remembered by once their fame fizzles out or they pass away, whichever comes first. We remember everything about a celebrity’s career: the good and the bad. The Kardashian family is a case in point example of socialites turned celebrities. I’d be lying if I said that I’d never watched the show. (And still do on Sunday nights. Oops.) But my question is: why are these shows so popular? Sure, everyone has a go-to guilty-pleasure reality TV show, but the Kardashian fame expands beyond their five-plus TV shows that have aired on the E! Network. The only member of the family who should be semi-famous is stepfather Bruce Jenner, who won the gold medal in decathlon at the 1976 Olympics. The Kardashian fame began with Kim Kardashian’s leaked sex tape in 2005. In 2007, the popular E! Network show, “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” aired

By Katie.Henry @iowastatedaily.com for the first time. Since then, the show has had seven seasons with three spin offs, each of which have their own seasons. Then came Kardashian’s 72-day marriage, and the rest is (and probably shouldn’t be) history. If you took the sex tape scandal out of the Kardashian equation, would she or any of her family members be famous at all? Michael Jackson is another one of the many celebrities who had an incredible career tarnished by scandal. Without opening the pandora’s box of truth within the allegations, people still remember him as the King of Pop but attach scandal to his memory. When did we become so engrossed in the lives of people we don’t know? In the 1950s, tabloids used to publish actual news, even if it was gruesome car accidents and political scandals. Then, Enquirer owner Generoso Pope started to make the publication more friendly to housewives, publishing news such as the death of Elvis and other breaking news in the entertainment world. The O.J. Simpson trial in the 1990s was so widely covered by media other than print magazines that tabloid editors and writers had to start making up elaborate stories to make up for the readership loss. The biggest unanswered question: Why do we care? The most logical reason would be that many people desire fame, fortune and all that jazz. There are celebrities who are famous because they are skilled in a particular craft: music, acting, sports, et cetera. That’s why people idolize them: They appreciate their skills and achievements, thus aspiring to develop those skills themselves. But the lesson to take away is to be careful when you become engrossed in the lives of others. Instead, you should start thinking about your own.

he Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints, which is the single largest contributor to the Boy Scouts of America, stated that if the Boy Scouts allowed homosexual members then the LatterDay Saints would withdraw all financial support from the organization. Accordingly, making a business decision after receiving such pressure from a religious organization, the Boy Scouts of America complied. This was a paragraph in a column I wrote last July after the Boy Scouts made a public reaffirmation of its anti-homosexual policy after a two-year-long internal debate. Two years of internal debate must show that they were conflicted to begin with. Earlier this week, the Boy Scout organization has eaten the words it so firmly stood by last July, saying they plan on revisiting the decision to not allow homosexuals in the organization, and instead leave it up to individual troops to decide. Already was pressure mounting for the organization to rewrite its policy, at the same time held at gunpoint by the LatterDay Saints church over potential funding — “money talks”, as they say, leading to the Boy Scout’s July decision. There are many corporations that support the Boy Scouts. In the last several months, after the Boy Scouts’ reaffirmation of its anti-gay policy, th corporations have put some heat on the Boy Scouts, claiming it violates the nondiscrimination policy. With the Boy Scouts of America already on a membership decline over the last several years (20 percent over the last decade), a loss of support from its many corporate sponsors would be crippling, regardless if its top two contributors are the Latter-Day Saints and United Methodist church.

By Ian.Timberlake @iowastatedaily.com The ultimate reason why the Boy Scouts organization is so readily thinking about reversing its July reaffirmation soon, is thanks to the grassroots movement it forged itself. Troops, leaders, parents, boys, civil rights advocates and Eagle Scouts such as myself caused an uproar. Be it total troop defiance of the policy or Eagle Scouts immolating their own rank in front of the council, all over America (and the world), the Boy Scouts of America National Council was marked as one of the greatest bigoted organizations of our time. As stressed before, please voice your opinion to them, personally. A discriminant society is a primitive and amoral society.

The Daily strives to operate like a professional news organization, in all aspects of its operations. The board noted that professional news organizations do not have state or national senators working on their staffs. Since professional news organization do not hire government representatives, the board said the Daily should not either.

Varner to be honored Sunday Former ISU wrestler Jake Varner will be honored at Sunday’s ISU wrestling dual, where a banner will be unfurled commemorating his place as Iowa State’s most recent Olympic gold medalist. Varner, a four-time NCAA finalist and two-time NCAA champion, won a gold medal at 96 kilograms (211.5 pounds) at the summer Olympics this past August in London. Varner’s firstplace finish makes him the sixth former ISU wrestler to win an Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling. In his time at Iowa State, Varner compiled a career record of 12110, which included a 31-0 senior campaign that was capped off with a 197-pound national title in 2009-10. Varner took second place at 184 pounds as a sophomore before winning national titles at 197 pounds as a junior and senior. A banner will be unfurled among the rafters at Hilton Coliseum alongside his training partner and fellow Olympic gold medalist Cael Sanderson.

Andersen reclaims court

After an ankle injury, sophomore fights to get back in action By Kristin.Peterson @iowastatedaily.com

The tennis season is back in full swing and the players are trying to bounce back from a month off the courts. For sophomore Caroline Hauge Andersen, the break from the game has been a year. Andersen returns this season after an injury that kept her out of play. What was first thought to be merely a stress fracture ended up being an ankle spur that resulted in surgery and a long break from tennis.

“I was out for a year so it was pretty tough because they didn’t quite figure out what my injury was so it took a longer time than it was supposed to,” Andersen said. “That was probably the hardest thing — not to compete, not to travel with the team and not feel as much a part of the team.” Andersen now works to regain comfort on the court and re-acclimate to the game. “She’s a fighter,” said Ana Gasparovic, Andersen’s partner for her first dual meet back. “She had a tough time, but now she is back and I think that she is doing a great job.” Andersen competed in her first regular season match against Iowa last weekend. Gasparovic and she lost their doubles match 2-8. “The first match I played doubles [doubles number two],” Andersen

Ankle spur A bone spur, otherwise known as an ankle spur, is a piece of extra bone that forms as a result of the body trying to heal itself from repeated wear and tear. Spurs can be fairly harmless in some locations but when close to certain nerves and tissues they can cause swelling, pain, numbness, or restricted movement. Bone spurs in these locations often require surgery.

The ISU men’s basketball team lost for the 18th straight time at Gallagher-Iba Arena against Oklahoma State, 78-76. The team drops to 14-6 and 4-3 in the Big 12. The men were led by Chris Babb with 19 points on 5-6 shooting from behind the arc, followed by Georges Niang with 16. The ISU women’s basketball team lost in overtime at Phog Allen Fieldhouse against Kansas, 78-75. Iowa State was led by Brynn Williamson with 19 points on only nine shots. She was followed by Hallie Christopherson with 18 points.

positive. That match started off a long season and got her back into the game. “She had that big injury and for an athlete it is really hard to come back and so she did so great,” Gasparovic said. After trying Andersen’s return with some doubles play, ISU coach Armando Espinosa hope to get her in some singles play soon. “She started playing some doubles against Iowa and we will see how her singles start developing so that we can see what she can do and start playing her in some singles matches and see what she can bring to the table in that manner,” Espinosa said. Espinosa believes that Andersen’s attitude will be the secret to coming back strong.

Gibson has competed to a very high level,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “He continues to push the envelope. He knows that he’s got a couple months left in his collegiate career and he’s making a big push to be able to accomplish his goals.”

There may be hundreds of different words that could describe this group of ISU swimmers and divers, but “special” is a word that these six ladies feel could not fit more perfectly. This past Saturday, seniors Bri Carlberg, Marley Dobyns, Dani Harris, Sarah Norris, Marley Suckow and Tiana Wollin were recognized for their leadership and commitment to the ISU swimming and diving program for the past four-plus years. “It’s been a fun group,” said ISU swimming coach Duane Sorenson. “They came in pretty inexperienced, Dani Harris being the only one with a lot of previous experience. Everybody else was pretty new to the game; Bri Carlberg and Marley Suckow were only

Freshmen have impact on ISU gymnastics team By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Jay Ronayne was thinking about the future when he recruited four freshmen and accepted two walk-ons for this season. The seventh-year gymnastics coach filled more than half of his 13-person roster with underclassmen. Of those underclassmen, the freshmen have had an immediate impact on the team, including the four of them that have competed already this season. “I think the freshmen are a big part of our team,” said junior Hailey Johnson before the season began. “They’re really important to the team. I see them competing.” Freshman Sara Townsend has competed in all three of the

meets so far this season. At a four-team meet in Minnesota, the walk-on competed in three events and participated with an exhibition routine — which does not count toward the team score — on the balance beam. “I’m seeing improvement almost daily now in practice,” coach Ronayne said of Townsend on Wednesday. “Her confidence is up a lot more than it was when she was one month into school. She’s gotten a lot stronger in that time.” Fellow freshmen Sammie Pearsall and Alex Marasco have also competed in every meet this season. When senior Elizabeth Stranahan fell off the bars at the four-team meet, Marasco competed for her on balance

>>TENNIS.p6 “She is very enthusiastic about being back and that helps a lot,” Espinosa said. “Attitude helps a lot when it comes to coming back from an injury. So she is doing a tremendous job with how excited she is to be back on the court hitting balls.” Andersen is glad to be working with the team again. Her injury and time off resulted in a bit of a struggle when returning to conditioning but Andersen is confident that she is ready for the season ahead.

>>GIBSON.p6 Accomplishing those goals is not going to be easy for Gibson. Three out of the five teams remaining on the Cyclones’ schedule include rosters with heavyweights that are ranked nationally by Intermat, namely No. 3 Alan Gelogaev of Oklahoma State University, No. 7 Michael McClure of Michigan State University and No. 15 Levi Cooper of Arizona State University. “I think it’ll be a good simulation for the NCAA tournament in March,” Gibson said. “I’ll have to wrestle ranked guy after ranked guy so it’ll be just a good chance to get my body used to that and gauge where I’m at for the rest of the season.” Last weekend in West Virginia, Gibson had numerous family members and friends on-hand to watch him wrestle for the

beam. Marasco received 9.8 — the highest score on the team — for her clutch performance. Kristen DeCosta is the final freshman who has competed for Iowa State. After her season debut against Kent State on Jan. 11, she was injured during practice and has not competed since. Although freshmen are inexperienced, Stranahan said having them compete should not be a problem for the team. “[Freshmen] come in fresh and they come in excited,” said Stranahan before the season started. “Freshmen are eager; they want to compete. “After the first two or three meets everyone become a veteran. As soon as you feel the atmosphere and the excitement and the nerves, you kind of fit right into the flow.”

“I lost a lot of muscle and tennis practice so all the other girls were kind of one step in front of me,” Andersen said. “But now, it is getting better, I’m getting more in shape, and my tennis playing is getting better too.” Even though her first match back fell short, Andersen has her eye on the rest of the season and on a successful build back up in her game. “For now, I just want to start winning matches,” Andersen said. “I want to start being back in the game that I used to play before, be in my own zone again and try to win for the team and for myself.”

Cyclones as they dominated the Mountaineers by a 30-3 margin. Gibson said he had at least 29 supporters show up to watch him wrestle. The support really helped him prepare and stay focused on the match ahead of him. Gibson went on to defeat West Virginia’s Phil Mandzik by pinning him in 5:39. “It was just fun,” Gibson said. “A lot of them I hadn’t seen in years, some of them I hadn’t even met so it was just nice to go out in front of my family.” Such support may be a key if Gibson plans to make it back to where he finished last season. Despite the difficulty of his remaining schedule, those around Gibson believe his chance of repeating as Big 12 heavyweight champion are not out of the question. “I think he has a really good

swimming a couple of years before they came in here.” Wollin came to Iowa State as a walk-on in the fall of 2009 and had to go through a series of tryouts to make the team. “The chemistry of this year’s team has been exciting to be a part of,” Wollin said. “It was strange after 10 years of swimming to have one of my last meets for ISU on Saturday.” Seniors have traditionally been leaders on every team, but with the majority of the team being underclassmen, the seniors stepped up and showed great leadership throughout this past season. Three different seniors have led by example, making their way into ISU record books with top-10 finishes. Harris and Norris found their way into the record books in the 200-meter medley relay event while Dobyns made an all-time ISU record for platform dives. “Senior year you really grow up,” Norris said. “You start to realize what everything means to you; you no longer take anything for

granted. I know all of us seniors are trying to take in every last bit we can.” Norris has been coming to ISU swim camps since she was in the seventh grade and said she has known she wanted to swim for the Cyclones for a while. This group of women, who mostly came from across the Midwest but from very diverse swimming backgrounds, have come together to form a sisterhood of six. “One minute you’re a freshman then you blink and it’s over,” Norris said. “It gets much more sad as the end gets near, but I have had so many wonderful memories with this team. I think that the memory I will cherish the most is having this opportunity and sharing it with all the girls I have come to love.” A trip to Puerto Rico during winter break for training and a friendly meet against Rutgers brought the team even closer together as a bonding experience. This is a group of seniors that sometimes calls themselves perfectionists, but in the end, all six agree they are their best friends. “We are a dedicated but fun group,” Norris said. “Definitely my best friends.”

Originally, CyRide intended to phase out five older buses with the purchase of the articulated buses, but CyRide decided to keep the buses in order to keep up with the growth of ridership. The price tag for the two buses was $1,374,826 with 83 percent of the funds coming from the federal government and a grant. The usual lifespan for buses is 12 years, but CyRide usually retires buses after 18 years of service. The new articulated buses are expected to last longer than the typical lifespan. Kyras pointed out that CyRide has been able to obtain quite a few grants in the past four years and has been able to lower their average bus age. These types of federal grants, however, are beginning to become less frequent as budget cuts continue, stated Rediske. “I know the focus of CyRide is to maintain their service to their riders,” Rediske said. “They have been very resourceful and conscious about the buses they choose to purchase.”

He credited a lot of his interest in joining the greek system to pop culture, including movies such as “Stomp the Yard.” Oeverli also credited American movies such as the “American Pie” series with informing people from other countries of the greek life in the United States, though she believed these movies often give people the wrong idea. Oeverli, a sophomore in pre-biological/pre-medical illustration from Norway, said she feels as though she has “grown a lot being in the greek system.” Part of this growth for Oeverli, as well as Huang, was the chance to improve their English-speaking capabilities. “I signed up also partly because I heard I would have to do a lot of talking so I also looked at it as a great way for me to practice my speaking abilities before school started,” Oeverli said. Huang said joining the greek system was helpful in getting to know people. He

said that it also helped to improve his English. “Since I am an international student, you come to the U.S. and you want to improve your English and learn about the American culture,” Huang said. Oeverli even lives in her sorority house now and said it has been a great experience. “There are always people around to talk to and there are so many different majors and personalities so I feel like I can learn something from each and everyone,” Oeverli said. “They helped me ease into the American culture and have guided me throughout several occasions where I have been confused about something that I have never seen before.” With the greek community preparing for recruitment next year, Huang’s and Oeverli’s experiences both show that it is able to reach out to a broader international community, with Iowa State’s moving toward the goal of being a more diverse campus. “I encourage all international students to at least give the greek system a try,” Oeverli said.

Photo: Megan Wolff/ Iowa State Daily Ray Schmidt and his roommate Ben Shaffer have been nicknamed the “Yogurt Guys” in honor of the yogurt lids covering their dorm room. When they had filled the loft frames, Schmidt and Shaffer began putting the lids on the walls and ceilings, as well.

>>YOGURT.p1 The sticky tack eventually became too costly to purchase, said Schmidt. The cost led Schmidt and Shaffer through a series of alternate adhesives, including duct tape and double-sided foam tape. They discovered that double-sided tape was too expensive and duct tape caused the lids to sag from their placement on the walls and ceiling. The solution to the problem was then found. Shaffer would hot glue a piece of cardboard under the lid and hand to Schmidt to stick to the ceiling. Shaffer said that lid order is selected when he shakes a box containing the lids for Schmidt to draw at random. Schmidt said that they draw lids for placement on the ceiling in order to avoid preference or clustering colors. “Somehow the green ones always wind up near each other,” Schmidt said. The lids come from various sources: themselves, others and scavenging. Schmidt said that they have approached individuals eating yogurt and asked for their lids. “About 90 percent of the time people will give us their lids when we ask, and about 10 percent of the time people say no,” Schmidt said. Schmidt said he is unsure why people

say no because they will just throw it away afterwards. “We can’t tell them it’s for a record either if they ask why because they will keep asking questions,” Shaffer said. Shaffer and Schmidt have received some negative attention for their yogurt quest. “They’ve got their share of haters,” said Luke Schneeman, freshman mechanical engineering, “but I remember that they started with just a few.” Clyde’s allowed Schmidt and Shaffer to put a collection box for lids near the garbage bins to accrue more lids. The box added about 35 lids that they didn’t ask for Shaffer said. “I keep my eye out for lids walking around and found one half buried in the ground,” Shaffer said. “I’m not sure who takes the time to bury a lid, but I grabbed it.” The collection gains a given color by the day Schmidt said because dining facilities on campus tend to carry similarly-colored lids. The search has also exposed Shaffer and Schmidt to flavors they haven’t heard of before. “I knew there was vanilla,” Schmidt said. “But I had no idea there was a vanilla bean.” Schmidt said that asking for lids has led to some interesting interactions. One

person they met as a result was the “Trivia Guy.” “He won’t give us his lid unless we answer a trivia question or riddle,” Schmidt said. The lid collection has also reached outside of Ames. “My mom has been saving some lids back home,” said Jake Kottke, sophomore aerospace engineering. “It was strange when I first heard what [Schmidt and Shaffer] were up to and only had some on the loft, but I saved my lids too.” Schmidt said that they tried asking Anderson Erickson for lids and sent them pictures of their project. “They thought it was neat,” Shaffer said. “But they won’t even send us misprints.” Shaffer said that this project has helped him meet new people. Currently, they have nearly 600 lids, Shaffer said, and they will continue collecting until all the white space is covered. Schmidt said that they have list of guesses as to how many lids that will take ranging from 1,100 to 1,500. Schmidt and Shaffer don’t plan on stopping at the end of the school year either. When they move to a house, Schmidt wants to make murals with the lids. “I’d like to take all the lids and cover a wall with a pointillist piece,” Schmidt said.

Fun Facts Opossums don’t “play dead.” When frightened, they become overexcited and pass out. Slumber Party Barbie of 1965 came with her own “How to Lose Weight” book. One of the tips: “Don’t eat.” Founding fathers Goerge Washington and Thomas Jefferson were both redheads. Simon Bolivar is the only person in the world to have two sovereign nations named after him: Bolivia and Venezuela (the country’s full name is Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela). The Spanish omelette was actually invented in Spain, but over there it’s eaten as lunch or dinner and is often served cold. Jim Cummings, the voice of Winnie the Pooh, calls sick kids in hospitals and chats with them in character. Ever wondered what the small pink protuberance is in the corner of the eye? It’s called the “caruncula.” Jack Webb, star of radio and television’s Dragnet, was so closely associated with the part of Joe Friday that when Webb died in 1982, the Los Angeles Police Department officially retired Friday’s badge number, 714.

By Rahemma Mayfield Ames247 writer Iowa Zoetrope, an independent film company based in Ames, is providing extra experience for students interested in filmmaking. Iowa Zoetrope is owned and operated by Stephen Haydon, Kip Paulson, Trevor Swaim and Scotland Thompson, who are all Iowa natives. Iowa Zoetrope was formed in February 2010 with its first film, “Steampunks: Counterfeiting as per Usual.” Stephen Haydon, senior in performing arts and co-owner of Iowa Zoetrope, said each of the owners had their own film companies before coming together to form Iowa Zoetrope. Iowa Zoetrope’s name derives from the American Zoetrope studio, which was formed by Francis Ford Coppola and George Lucas in 1969, creating films using unconventional film methods. While some, according to Haydon, might think there is only monetary value in making films, it has a more intrinsic value for the co-owners. “Whenever it comes to filming or theatre or acting, a common misconception is that you’re only in it to get famous or get rich. That is not the case at all here,” Haydon said. “It’s because filmmaking and creating, it’s all of our passions.” Because Iowa Zoetrope is an independent film company, the entire filming budget comes directly from its own pockets. Haydon explained that being resourceful and reusing the equipment and costumes helps with costs.

“It’s a matter of everyone doing their fair share,” Haydon said. Iowa Zoetrope’s mission is to show that Hollywood is not the only place where talented people are making films. Iowa Zoetrope promotes Iowa and the talent it holds. Everything filmed by Iowa Zoetrope is filmed in Iowa, with the majority of its projects filmed right here in Ames. “Hollywood is a very, very small industry. Even though it dominates the film industry, it’s very hard to break into and it’s very exclusive. A lot of it is about who you know. For us, it’s basically having our voice heard,” Haydon said. Haydon may be the only coowner of Iowa Zoetrope who is a student at Iowa State, but he is not the only ISU student who has been involved with the company. The list of Iowa State students involved in Iowa Zoetrope productions includes Thane Himes, Austin Kopsa, Tony Labat, Drew McCubbin and Brittny Rebhuhn, just to name a few. Usually students get involved because of their connections to the people involved in Iowa Zoetrope. “[Haydon] has always been doing film projects and I asked if I could assist around the set to watch and learn. I did that and then he asked me if I’d like to act in one,” said Rebhuhn, senior in performing arts. Iowa Zoetrope is always looking for new talent and welcomes people to get involved. “When it comes to acting or working as crew, we can’t pay you but, you know, we’ll treat you well,” Haydon said. “We’ll do you a favor and do what we can for you.”

How do you balance between drumming and class work?

By CJ Eilers Ames247 Writer

cyclo spot ne light

Brad Page, junior in business management, has been playing drums since fourth grade and was a member of the Iowa State University Varsity Marching this fall and a former member of Groove. In addition to these ISU ensembles, Page plays for the Colts Drum & Bugle corps, a Division I drum corp from Dubuque, IA. The Colts and Page tour during the summer all across the United States.

What influenced you to pick up drumming and later become serious about it?

Know a student who would make an interesting profile? Let us know at ames247@ iowastatedaily.com

How much time and effort do you put in each week with drumming?

Presented by Ames247.com

What is the best part of being in Colts?

It’s just a great experience. You go around all summer long touring with 150 people you’ve never met before from different countries everywhere. You’re just getting that experience of hard work every day. I mean, you’re running around the field, 12 hours a day sometimes, in 100 degrees, and that hard work and dedication is really rewarding at the end and the friendships you make

What advice do you have for musician college students who believe they don’t have the time or talent for college level ensembles?

First off, my dad is a band director, so from a music background, my dad pushed me to be in music. Obviously, he wanted me to do well and I wanted to do well, ... he pushed me to practice all the time. Meeting people at Iowa State that have done Colts, I decided to go and do .. drum corp.

Brad Page

Obviously, class work is my priority, since I am in school. So, get my homework done, my club stuff done first, the practicing comes after that.

As much as I can. [Colts] have monthly camps I go to until the summer and it’s all about preparation .... I try to get in a least an hour, two hours a night.

It’s very easy to make time for it. Everybody’s got busy schedules, but they can fit it in somewhere. There’s so many different ensembles, and with that being said, as long as you’re there to try and you want to be there and be the best you can be, they’re going to want you in ensembles. That’s what they are trying to get, just people that are going to be dedicated that are going to do well for them. They can make a spot for you anywhere.

Music: Nosaj Thing: ‘Home’

Game: ‘All-Stars Battle Royale’

Movie: ‘The Last Stand’

By Sam Abrahms

By Levi Castle

By Nick Hamden

Jason Chung is Nosaj Thing. On his second studio LP, the dual-sided producer from Los Angeles displays his ability to control time and space within a soft digital landscape. The opening track, “Home,” is slightly overbearing as many peoples’ first introduction to the ambient producer. Keep in mind that his is “eyes closed, lights off, mind open music.” The themes are meant to be more downtrodden. I found “Eclipse/Blue” to be the most adventurous track. The vocals of Kazu Makino can be heard as they softly bubble and quietly float away. Without a doubt, this track should get the most attention, as it illustrates Nosaj Thing’s near-limitless potential as a producer. For a different kind of funky, “Glue” is the obvious choice. Wafts of static crackles linger while maracas plague the backside of the track. I want to call it a mix of “vacant” and “thoughtful.” The substance this has under the hood is what keeps it afloat. The album is worth listening to. If you are want some chill music, this has you covered.

When “PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale” was announced, the gaming community was excited and torn at the idea of a Super Smash Bros.styled fighting game meant for the PS3. PS All-Stars shamelessly borrows from Nintendo’s Smash Bros., but adds just enough flair to make the game stand out. The game has you choose one character from all sorts of franchises. Whether playing as Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank or another, characters have their own feel. The attacks and combos are also similar, requiring the player to use nearly every button on the controller in order to survive. Taking down your opponents is where All-Stars differs. In All-Stars, there is only one way to get kills: finishing off your opponents with “super” moves. A bar steadily fills as you hit a character, maxing out at three levels. Each level of the super bar grants a different finishing attack that nearly guarantees to instantly kill an opponent. While it is certainly unique from its competition, All-Stars’ formula feels constrained. It limits the potential chaos of the battle. Because of this, the whole game is bogged down and feels less fun.

Love him or hate him, Arnold is back in film and ready to make a fool out of himself again. Outside of two roles, the last eight years he has been busy playing a politician in real life and not the action star we all grew up with, but that is changing! Besides “The Last Stand” he has an impressive slate of upcoming roles, including a return to the Conan-universe. In “The Last Stand,” Arnold plays an old sheriff in a small border town in Arizona. He has left his previous jobs to live a nice laid back lifestyle in his final years. That all gets disrupted when a Mexican cartel leader breaks out of jail and races to escape the country. The last line of defense lies with Arnold and his small band of deputies to save America from a drug lord. Obviously the movie should not be taken too seriously, but by the end it was much more than a campy shoot ‘em up. The good guys weren’t guaranteed victory, and some lives end up lost along the way. As long as you go in knowing it isn’t completely serious, you will probably find it an enjoyable flick.
