By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com On Sunday afternoon, several hundred protesters gathered in People’s Park, west of the Iowa State Capitol Building in Des Moines, to establish a “people’s general assembly” in an effort to show solidarity with the growing “Occupy Wall Street” protests that have picked up steam the last week across the country. The event began at noon when a conglomerate of working and middle-class workers, college students, union members and other frustrated citizens fed up with the amount of money controlling the political process in the United States hesitantly assembled in the park. Soon after, an organizer brought everyone together to establish a general assembly in which they would vote on how the occupation protests would function. Many in the crowd appeared to be increasingly frustrated about being left out of the politics while corporations and other financial institutions dominated the political conversation. A good amount of the attendees held up signs that read “We are the 99%” and “Amend

Citizens United” which were referring to a very controversial Supreme Court case that ruled in favor of corporations. In 2010, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision in the case Citizens United v. The Federal
Election Commission in which it held that the First Amendment protects corporate funding of independent political broadcasts during election season. In other words, corporations and other groups are free to
give unlimited amounts of money to advertising a political agenda, usually in attack ads against a certain candidate. This domination of campaigns by corporations, among other things, was one of the main talking points for

CALS Week to promote agriculture, life sciences
The rent-a-puppy fundraiser hosted by Sigma Lambda Gamma sorority Friday and Saturday received a large turnout. The event cost $10 per half hour, or $15 for groups of three, and helped raise money for the local animal shelters as well as the sorority. The puppies were from Boone, Iowa, and Jewell, Iowa, and ranged from around 8 months to 6 years. The dogs ranged in size from big to small. “Last year we raised around $1,200, and this year’s goal is to raise around $1,500,” said Zaneta Jones, Sigma Lambda Gamma member and senior in interior design. “We are also hoping to just get every time slot filled each day and give the dogs a lot of exercise.” The goal of Rent-a-Puppy is to find people to adopt the dogs. By 1 p.m. Friday, there already was a prospective adopter for a beagle. Molly Kieffer, freshman in industrial engineering, was playing with a puppy named Cyrus. “I came out today because I love

Alpha Omicron Pi sorority partnered with the Ames Area Running Club on Sunday to host its 25th anniversary of Run for the Roses, a 5k and 10k race that raises money for its international philanthropy, Strike Out Arthritis. The race took place at Ames Middle School, and the 1,193 participants included Ames and nearby area residents, ISU students and student-athletes.
Children also partook in the Fun Run around the middle school’s track. Last year, the event raised more than $15,000. “We were really excited to celebrate the lasting success of our race. Run for the Roses really is a community event; everything from the breakfast to the door prizes are donated from local businesses,”said Megan Becker, one of the Alpha Omicron Pi philanthropy chairwomen and senior in biology. “We really wanted to host an amazing event for the people of Ames because they truly are
the heart and soul of this race. Also, we focused on commemorating those with arthritis and providing facts about arthritis to our participants.” Run for the Roses started back in 1987, and in honor of the event’s anniversary, the race coordinators had a goal of raising $25,000 this year, but the total amount raised is yet to be calculated. After the race, an all-you-can-eat omelet breakfast and a rose were provided to participants for supporting arthri-

Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor rushed to hospital again Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed again to the hospital late Saturday, her family said. The ailing actress was taken from her home to UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, said her daughter Francesca Hilton. She did not provide details. Gabor has suffered major health problems in the last year, including hip replacement surgery and a leg amputation. She has been unable to walk since a 2002 car accident. The Hungarian-born actress, the second of the three celebrated Gabor sisters, is famous for her many marriages and strong personality as well as her acting prowess. Her more prominent films include John Huston’s ToulouseLautrec biopic “Moulin Rouge” in 1952, “The Story of Three Loves” in 1953, “The Girl in the Kremlin” in 1957 and Orson Welles’ 1958 cult classic, “Touch of Evil.”

Painter Mikey Welsh, most famously known as the bassist for the rock band Weezer, died Saturday, according to the band. He was 40. The cause of death was not immediately available. According to Welsh’s official website, he was a painter before he made the shift to music at 19. A decade later, he had achieved fame as the bassist for the band Weezer, replacing the band’s long-time bassist Matt Sharp. Welsh was part of the band’s 2001 “Green Album” release, which featured “Hash Pipe.” The single became one of the band’s biggest hits, peaking at No. 2 on Billboard’s Alternative songs chart. Welsh left the band shortly after, saying he had suffered a nervous breakdown.

When asked if she thought the movement could turn into a progressive counterweight to the conservative tea party movement, Riley said, “Yes, definitely. The tea party doesn’t have

anything intelligent to say. That needs to be heard by Americans. And if you want to be heard, get out and say it.” After some quick organizational procedures, the group of protesters began to discuss the specifics of how they wished to carry out their occupation protests. Some of the attendees voiced their support for Saturday, which would have coincided with MoveOn. org’s planned solidarity march with the Occupy Wall Street protesters across the nations. However, many others in attendance shot down the idea as they reiterated that they did not wish to be co-opted or hijacked by any other political or social organization. This sentiment seemed to resonate
with most people who showed up, and many wished to begin the occupation protest immediately after the general assembly meeting had adjourned. The decision was finally reached to begin the occupation later that night, while committees were to be set up to address the food, sanitation, legal and communication parts of the protest. “I don’t do this stuff very often, but I am inspired by the Occupy Wall Street protests in New York,” said attendee Alex Jones, a student at Mercy College of Health Sciences. “I’m still going to school, and it seems that we are just being told to go along with the rising costs of education without question. It’s time for something to change.”
Besides lectures and free lunches, CALS Week also gives a chance for clubs within the college to promote themselves. Tuesday, the Forestry Club will be having a Timbersports Demonstration on Central Campus. On Wednesday, the 26 groups and organizations will be on Central Campus for the Club Showcase. Alpha Zeta, a co-ed agriculture fraternity, will be spon-
soring a food drive throughout the week, also a competition between the 26 clubs. The club that donates the most food will receive $75. “We really wanted to make sure the College of Agriculture gave back to the community this year,” said Alpha Zeta member Rachel Owen, senior in global resource systems. All donations received during the week will go to the
Run for the Roses. “I choose to do the run because arthritis is common in my extended family, and it’s always great to support your friends at other philanthropies,” said Anna Hope, junior in kinesiology and pre-physical therapy. Reviews of the race were nothing but enthusiastic and high-spirited. “The event had a great turnout, and it was very well organized. It is always a good
time getting together with people that enjoy a challenging run and supporting charities,” said Anne Cox, junior in animal science. “[Run for the Roses] was a perfect start to my Sunday with the motivational signs and constant crowd of people cheering us on along the way. The food afterward was delicious, too. “I will definitely be involved in the race in the future and hope the event continues to grow.”

After a general assembly meeting that addressed many of the core issues related to the occupy protests, the protesters grabbed their tents and other supplies and began to dig in their heels for the coming protests at the Capitol. Since last Wednesday when the Occupy Wall Street movement began gaining media coverage and union support, protests have sprung up in many states including Iowa, where the state’s first protest was held Friday in Iowa City. Additional protests are expected to be held across the state later this week, including a campus walkout and protest at Iowa State on Thursday from noon to 3 p.m. at Central Campus.

Editorial
Early caucus is a problem, not a solution The Florida Republican Party’s move last week to move its primary to Jan. 31, ahead of Iowa’s set caucus date of Feb. 6, has spurred the Iowa GOP to move its caucuses to only a few days past the new year. This commotion about caucus dates is misplaced. After 40 years of being first in the nation there is no reason to insist on having them first yet again, except vanity. Sure, it’s a nice tradition for an otherwise next-to-unimportant state, especially if we happen to select the candidate who goes on to win his or her party’s nomination or even the White House, but our insistence on being first state to hold caucuses is just a self-deluded attempt bestow importance upon ourselves. What happens if we choose wrong? Our stock as accurate judges declines. The farther away our caucuses are from the real tests of the election, the less chance there is that our judgment will be accurate. Locking ourselves into a choice nearly eight months before the nominating conventions and 11 months before the general election is a horrible idea. What happens if our candidate is exposed for a sex scandal, swindling money from his church or tax evasion? What if the candidate we choose to support shows incompetence on at later campaign events? We’ll be stuck with our choice — and labeled across the country — as that state who supported him and his fraud of a reputation. Deferring our choice to some later date avoids these problems. Who cares whether Florida or another state votes ahead of us? Choosing at a later date may actually be a greater show of independent judgment. While momentum commonly builds behind whichever candidates win or do well in early contestsm, waiting both gives us more time to vet candidates and interact with them and it gives us time to weigh the opinions in other states and re-evaluate our own position. Aside from these theoretical considerations, there’s the date itself: Jan. 3, 2012. What an awful time of year. If the Republican Party of Iowa wants to perpetuate itself, to be a force in coming election years and decades, it needs young people to carry some of its standards. The youth vote in 2008 was critical to President Barack Obama’s success in that election. Having the caucuses over Christmas Break, in the middle of it, two days after New Year’s Eve, is just ignoring students and the role they ought to play in present and future politics. We members of the Editorial Board probably still will be hung over from Dec. 31 when the caucuses happen. Editorial Board

Forget science fiction
Photo courtesy of Thinkstock The American media does not seem to understand that evolution is a biological concept, not something straight out of a science fiction film.
Human evolution is not something seen in ‘X-Men’
F
or some strange reason, evolution is still a contentious issue in America. Despite the fact that upwards of 97 percent of scientists, the National Academy of Science and countless Nobel Prize winners have come out in support of this fundamental tenet of biological studies, it is still hotly debated among politicians, lawmakers and communities. The fossil record, genetic evidence, laboratory experiments and natural observations don’t seem to be enough evidence for some people. As a student of biology, it is hard for me to understand how people can reject the wellsupported principles of natural selection, especially how people can reject the idea that these selective forces cause changes in the genetic frequencies of populations over vast spans of time. That is, until I see the images presented in the media regarding scientific news. CNN recently published a story about a group tracking genetic changes in human populations over 140 years. The accompanying picture was from “X-Men: The Last Stand” depicting a man who seems to have grown large feathery wings. The caption below reads, “Humans are still evolving, scientists say, but don’t expect any winged mutants like this one from ‘X-Men: The Last Stand.’” The article later jokingly asks the scientists involved about humans evolving super powers. Of course, the answer given by the researcher is “no.” Now, I know that the reporters at CNN
By Claire.Vriezen @iowastatedaily.com were likely trying to provide an image that readers would recognize and perhaps relate their knowledge of evolution to and perhaps ask a question in good humor. But the fact is that relating the concept of evolution to a science fiction story such as X-Men is giving an incomplete, misleading or downright false representation of evolution. Evolution does not mean that, given the right conditions, your offspring will spontaneously be born with wings, nor will individuals gain the ability to grow wings through a single genetic mutation. While the story of X-Men is quite obviously fictional, when these types of images are used in conjunction with actual scientific news, readers aren’t getting an accurate scientific representation. While it is undoubtedly important for the general public to receive information about scientific advances and discoveries, obtaining this information through the popular media sometimes isn’t the best option. News websites will try to get page views, sell papers or magazine, or try to get a good story by reporting scientific research prematurely or perhaps inadequately. While the problem isn’t exclusively based in the media, surveys regarding the acceptance of evolution in America show disheartening
trends. Organization such as Gallup report that less than 40 percent of Americans will answer “yes” to the question, “Do you, personally, believe in the theory of evolution?” One quarter of respondents will say they don’t believe in evolution, while another 36 percent claim no opinion. While there are many reasons individuals have for rejecting evolution (though the tendency is to cite religious beliefs), it certainly doesn’t help the cause of scientific education and literacy when human evolution is equated with X-Men. While I find it is never a good idea to take comments found in online threads as representative of our population, far too frequently you see references to scientists never having observed a dog give birth to a cat, a fish growing wings or the records of something akin to the infamous “crocoduck,” as proposed by the evangelist and creationist Kirk Cameron. This, folks, is not evolution. These are the concepts of science fiction. This misunderstanding of how species change is only perpetuated when attentiongrabbing pictures of X-Men are used in news stories. Evolution is not suddenly sprouting wings, giving birth to a whole new species or making some sort of mix between two species. Evolution is instead a simple concept of how species change over generations upon generations. It may help with scientific literacy if news outlets remembered this.

Agriculture
When did farmers become bad guys?
“W
hen did agriculture become a dirty word?” This question has adorned the pages of the New York Times and is becoming a trendy topic on several websites. As a proud member and supporter of the agriculture industry, it got me thinking, when did we become the bad guys? As a society, we have turned against the industry that has sustained and supported our country for centuries. We have no qualms about tearing down agriculturalists and looking down on farmers. Often just hearing the word “farmer,” the connotation that seemingly comes to mind is someone who is dirty and uneducated, like a character fresh out of the “Green Acres” television series. While there are some corporations, organizations and individuals that feel no guilt in brutalizing their land or animals in order to make a buck, we must draw the line and not victimize the hardworking families that work to support themselves and our society. Not all farms are run the same way, and the average American farmer takes pride in caring for his livestock and produce. One of the biggest issues facing the traditional family-owned farms that comprise 87 percent of total U.S. farms, according to the USDA, is teaching people the difference between themselves and factory farms. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations, as these industrialized operations are known, have become the characterization of the modern U.S. farm in the media. Images often are released of abusive owners, lame animals and poorly maintained facilities. These farms have given everyone a bad name and are condemned by a majority of agriculturalists. In the documentary “Food Inc.,” the producers of the film
Photo courtesy of Thinkstock Many Americans have a negative view of farmers and agriculture.
By Darrin.Cline @iowastatedaily.com further perpetuate this stereotype. The scenes are hard to stomach and some of the actions are egregious, but again it is a slanted view of modern agriculture. Recently, representatives from Mercy for Animals and Vegan Outreach passed out pamphlets scrutinizing agriculture, specifically meat production. The decision to be vegan or vegetarian is a personal choice, but using propaganda to convince others of a viewpoint detracts from the ethical standard allegedly set by saving animals’ lives. According to the organization’s material, all animals are deprived of adequate food and housing. Why would this be the case if farmers were looking to profit from said livestock? Farmers spend extensive time and money on animal welfare and treatment from veterinarians. On dairy farms, for example, facilities are checked by certified inspectors and farms not meeting the standard are not allowed to sell their milk. Farmers who take better care of their animals take better care of themselves. Thanks to advances in science and technology, farmers
are better able to care for animals from birth to maturity. With less inputs and increased understanding, producers are able to provide sufficient lifestyles with less stress on the animals. According to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, 75 percent of dairy herds in the “Cheese State” operate with less than 100 head of cattle. In order to be viewed as one of the aforementioned factory farms, a dairy operation would have no less than 500 heads. Even with the small size, producers have enhanced output by 25 billions pounds in the past decade. This is again in thanks to better technology providing greater feed efficiency, herd health and longer life spans. Working to satisfy global demand with diminishing resources has also become a concern for farmers across the spectrum. According to the American Farmland Trust, from 1982 to 2007, 41 million acres of land were removed from production, in favor of development. The land loss was not just in crops and cattle, but also wetlands, forests and environmental safeguards put in place by farmers. The loss was approximately equal to the size of Illinois and New Jersey combined. In spite of this lack of land
area, the United States continues to set the bar for global production. In data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 41 percent of the world’s soy production came from America, as well as 35 percent of the soybeans. Globally, crop production was up across the board. Environmental protection is another growing concern for everyone in agriculture. People perceive farming a major pollutant, primarily from cattle manure and fertilizer run off. The growth of organic farms, up by roughly 4,000 operations since 2006, combined with the advancement of crop chemicals that are more environmentally friendly, has spurred the reclamation and improvement of ecosystems adjacent to farm land. To further help alleviate the burden, the National Resource Conservation Service continues to promote the Conservation Reserve Program. The CRP was created to turn once-tillable acres back into natural grasslands that prevent soil erosion. Along with implementing riparian buffer zones to alleviate chemical runoff, farmers have jumped into the driver seat on environmental protection. Take a trip down a gravel road in the Midwest. There are not abusive corporate owners aiming to destroy the environment and subject animals to cruelty to make a buck. No matter when or where, there are farms and farm families looking to make a living doing something they love. In few industries are there individuals with a passion and dedication to their work comparable to agriculture. Perhaps a better question to ask is the classic “what would you be without agriculture?” Answer: Hungry and naked.

Balanced attack propels win By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com Having a balanced attack can keep the opposing team guessing. That’s exactly what Oklahoma was doing the entire match. On Saturday the No. 16 Cyclones defeated No. 22 Oklahoma in four sets (25-23, 25-17, 2225, 25-19). With the win, Iowa State moves atop the Big 12 with a 5-1 record in conference and 14-3 overall. Iowa State had its most balanced match on offense with four players in double-digit kills. All four Cyclones had at least 13. “It’s good because we had some other people struggle,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “So it’s good that on different nights we can have different people step up.” More specifically, Carly Jenson and Jamie Straube both led the offense with 14 kills apiece.

Hockey:
Winnipeg greets NHL commissioner The Associated Press WINNIPEG, Manitoba — Hockey fans in Winnipeg seem to have forgiven Gary Bettman. Once villified in the city after the original Winnipeg Jets left town, the NHL commissioner had his name chanted in the concourse of MTS Centre on Sunday while doing a radio interview before the second generation Jets played their first game against the Montreal Canadiens. It was such an unusual occurrence, he wasn’t sure if they were actually showing their support for him. “I thought the radio guy, his name was Gary (Lawless), I thought they were cheering for him,” Bettman said, laughing. The commissioner was often blamed for the league’s decision to relocate the Jets to Phoenix in 1996. At that time, the team was struggling with attendance at the old Winnipeg Arena and couldn’t find a new ownership group. “I don’t personalize these things,” Bettman said. “For people who understood what happened 15 years ago, while it may have been my face that was put on it, people know that I was not the least bit happy. In fact, we did everything possible not to move the club. ... “It wasn’t personal then and while frankly I’m happy to have been a part of the equation that restored the team, the credit goes to the people in Winnipeg without whom this wouldn’t be happening.” The biggest change was the emergence of owners David Thomson and Mark Chipman, who built the MTS Centre seven years ago. They had a celebratory lunch Sunday with Bettman and other dignitaries, including Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Chipman joked that it was part of his normal game day routine.
Sports Jargon:
Offsides SPORT: Football DEFINITION: An illegal procedure where a player goes past the line of scrimmage before the proper initiation of play occurs. USE: Grant Mahoney was flagged for being offsides because his foot was in front of the ball during an onside kick.
Straube had a good night, hitting .400, and added three block assists to her point total. Jenson had 14 digs to go along with her 14 kills, recording another double-double on the season. She also had three block assists. “Although Carly didn’t hit for a high percentage I thought she came through at the end and had some key kills for us,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Our middles are doing a great job for us producing a lot.” Tenisha Matlock had an outstanding match, earning her season-high with 13 kills on a .357 hitting clip. She also was a force on the defensive side of the ball, totaling four block assists and two solo blocks. “Every day in practice she’s working so hard trying to figure it out,” Straube said. “Middle is

Defense plays key role in victory By Zach.Gourley @iowastatedaily.com The ISU volleyball team moved to the top of the Big 12 standings with a 3-1 victory (2523, 25-17, 22-25, 25-19) against No. Straube 22 Oklahoma at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday. The No. 16 Cyclones (14-3, 5-1 Big 12) held the Sooners (17-4, 4-1) to .157 hitting on the night, well below their season average of .259. “It definitely wasn’t our best match and definitely not very pretty. We just outlasted them,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “We did a good job of knowing what they were going to do, so we held them to a pretty good percentage.” Outside hitter Tara Dunn led the OU offense with 15 kills on the night, but needed 58 attempts to do so and also committed nine attack errors. In a match where Oklahoma out-

dug the Cyclones 74-73, JohnsonLynch said the teams’ defenses are comparable when it comes to their approach. “They play great defense. Kind of like us, they get you into these battles
where the ball is going back and forth and it’s not always pretty, but the ball is up,” Johnson-Lynch said. “That can be frustrating if you take three or four good swings and you can’t get a kill.” While the dig statistics for both
teams were close, the Cyclones’ swing blocking set them apart Saturday. For much of the season, the Cyclones’ blocking has been an area of concern, as they averaged just 1.94 blocks per set, which ranks eighth out of nine teams in the Big 12. On Saturday, the Cyclones registered 10.5 blocks to the Sooners’ four. ISU middle blocker Tenisha Matlock led the way with two solo blocks and four block assists. “I just was trying to focus on getting my hands low and over and getting them out,” Matlock said. The 3-1 loss was the Sooners’ first Big 12 defeat of the season and puts the Cyclones in the conference driver’s seat. “Coach said after the game that the Big 12 is wide open. It’s us, Texas and Oklahoma,” said ISU middle blocker Jamie Straube. “To get these home wins is huge because out on the road every game is 10 times harder.” The Cyclones will now have a week to prepare for their next match against Baylor at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.

Cyclones miss ‘opportunity to win’ By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com
For the ISU football team, the last two weeks weren’t all that different from the first three, where mistakes and penalties plagued the Cyclones. The difference between those three and the last two was that in the first three, the Cyclones made plays that brought them back into the game. “[We’ve had] back-toback losses where we didn’t think we played as good of football as we’re capable of,” said coach Paul Rhoads. “You can’t do that a third week in a row. You’ve got to turn around and play a better football game and give yourselves an opportunity to win. I didn’t think the last two weeks we gave ourselves an opportunity to win.” The Cyclones’ 49-26 loss to No. 20 Baylor saw the offense turn the ball over twice, the team commit seven penalties and go three-and-out on multiple occasions. In all, Baylor ran 97 plays throughout the game, 55 in the first half alone. “[It was] no single individual and not really a multitude of errors,” Rhoads said regarding the three-andouts. “Those are pivotal series and they happened at the wrong time.”
Photo: Rod Aydelotte/Waco Tribune-Herald Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III looks for running room past ISU defensive end Willie Scott in the first half of Saturday’s game in Waco, Texas. The Cyclones lost 49-26.
Being on the field for so long wears on players, but junior linebacker Jake Knott believes the mistakes the defense made — Iowa State allowed 391 net rushing yards and 603 yards of total offense — are easily fixed. “There’s definitely a lot of things that could’ve gone our way that didn’t,” Knott said. “Baylor’s offense did such a great job of the up-tempo [offense], which allowed them to run so many plays. It can definitely end up wearing you down as a defense.
“It’s a very correctable mistake the front seven was making.” The coaches and players talked a lot about “assignment football” in the week leading up to the game in Waco, Texas, mostly in reference to quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Cyclones didn’t let Griffin put up videogame numbers — he completed 22-of-30 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown — but rather were gashed in the run game.
Baylor running back Terrance Ganaway carried the ball 23 times for 200 yards, and Griffin carried 24 times for 132 yards. “I think you’ve got to play together and complement each other,” Rhoads said. “When you’re playing a team like Baylor, for instance, you’ve got to give yourself a rest. I felt we could’ve given up 30-some points against Baylor and played good defense if we’d gotten the right key stops. “You’ve got to comple-
ment both sides of the ball together at the right times.” That message is clear to players, who know they have the tools in place to get the job done despite adversities. “Everybody gets worn down. It’s just mind over matter,” said safety Durrell Givens. “The coaches put us in the right position. We’ve just got to work on knowing what we have to do and do it.” There was definitely a bright spot for the Cyclone offense Saturday night. Running back James White, who started in place of injured Shontrelle Johnson, ran for 151 yards on 15 carries. One of the 15 included a 76-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. “I made sure I prepared myself well, and when the time came, I took advantage of it,” White said. “I credit my linemen. Without them there’s no running game.” White’s work ethic is lauded by the coaching staff. Rhoads described White as someone who has no quit in him. “I don’t think James has been any different in all five ball games this season,” Rhoads said. “There’s other guys on our team that have great work ethic, but they still sometimes get tired. James is one of those guys, he’s like the Energizer bunny, he doesn’t get tired.”

Iowa State suffered its second conference loss of the weekend at home Sunday night, this time at the hands of Baylor by a final score of 2-0. The Cyclones (6-7-1, 0-4 Big 12) showed strong defensive play in the first half with strong pressure from the Bears’ offense. At the half, Baylor held the advantage in shots over Iowa State by a margin of 10-2. ISU freshman goalkeeper Andrea Swanson had four saves after one half. Iowa State started to reverse roles with Baylor seven and a half minutes into the second half, applying offensive pressure on the Baylor defense. But Baylor was the first to score, taking the lead 1-0 at 13:28 minutes into the sec-

ond half on a shot from Lisa Sliwinski. Less than five minutes later, Baylor scored again, making the score 2-0 in what would end up being the final on a closeDillinger range goal from Alexa Wilde. The loss to Baylor was the second straight time the Cyclones have been shut out at home after losing to No. 2 Oklahoma State on Friday night. Swanson ISU coach Wendy Dillinger was disappointed with how the team played in a game she felt should have been a Cyclone victory.
Hannah Willms also tallied her season-high in kills with 13 on a .387 hitting clip. Willms tallied two block assists on the defensive end. Straube said when the offense has a balanced attack,
it’s impossible to key in on someone. She knows from experience, seeing it firsthand. “[Being balanced] is huge if we can get our middles established early like we did, because that makes the blockers on the other side think about staying with the middles and that gives the outside hitter a one-on-one block or a little bit of a seam,” Straube said. “I know as a blocker on the other side of the net, it’s really hard when the other team has a really balanced attack, so it’s really good for us to be able to do

that.” Iowa State also held Oklahoma up on the defensive side. The Sooners are leading the Big 12 with a .259 average hitting percentage. Saturday, they were held to .157. They also average holding their opponents to a .166 hitting clip. This past Saturday, Iowa State as a team hit for .280. “[Johnson-Lynch] said after the game that the Big 12 is wide open.

“If we had played tonight like we did Friday night, we would win,” Dillinger said. “We are just inconsistent. We come out and we play the best that we have played yet against the number two team in the country, and we come out today in a game that we know we have to win and we’re flat.” Swanson played the full 90 minutes in the goal box for Iowa State and recorded six saves while allowing two goals. The freshman from Clive, Iowa, was not satisfied, however, with her play overall. “I would say that [the game] is not successful unless we get a shutout,” Swanson said. Iowa State will return to action Friday against Big 12 opponent Oklahoma at 7 p.m. in Norman, Okla.

Career:
Survey ranks most-desired employers Google is the most desired employer in the world, according to a survey by Universum released Sept. 29. The survey of 160,000 career seekers from the world’s 12 largest economies measures the most desired companies for business and engineering. Google reigns supreme over both lists. A trend from this year: the two are merging. Major tech players are moving up the business list, notably Apple, which jumped nine spots to number nine. The most attractive companies are the ones that offer a good work/life balance and opportunities for personal development, according to Universum. The top 10 most desired employers for business: 1. Google 2. KPMG 3. PwC 4. Ernst and Young 5. Deloitte 6. Microsoft 7. Proctor and Gamble 8. JP Morgan 9. Apple 10. Goldman Sachs Daily staff

Google hopes for digitized future By CNN Wire staff Here’s a Googley vision for the future: “We definitely hope one day you can walk out of the house with your phone in your hand — and nothing else,” said Marc FreedFinnegan, the company’s product manager for Google Wallet. It aims to digitize everything in your pockets in coming years by collapsing all that paper, plastic and metal into one device: the smartphone. The idea of using the mobile phone as a credit card, driver’s license, transit pass, digital coupon collector, house key, hotel key, corporate ID and more probably sounds pretty sci-fifuturey. But it’s almost practical when you consider the history of the smartphone. Since the Apple iPhone debuted in 2007, technologists have been cramming ever more functionality into these Swiss Army Knifelike gadgets. Our phones have replaced many other once-common tools, from GPS devices to handheld gaming consoles, point-and-shoot cameras, calendars, notebooks, newspapers and portable music players.

Encouraged items to consign:
Consignment store adds Cyclone twist Photo: Emily Harmon/Iowa State Daily Casual Revolution, set to open soon, brings a new flavor to Ames. Students and the community can consign their work. Offerings range from small-label clothing to handmade jewelry, in an atmosphere of vintage.
By Mackenzie.Nading @iowastatedaily.com With the economy sinking and the trend of vintage art and apparel soaring, more consignment stores are being thrown into the local shopping mix. The newest one to try its hand at consigning is Casual Revolution Fashion and Art Market. However, unlike familiar consignment stores, Casual Revolution puts a Cyclone twist into its store. Casual Revolution is owned and operated by two ISU students, Kristian Kline and Brian Foddrill, both studying business. Both in their mid-30s,
Kline and Foddrill said they decided to attend Iowa State because of the competitive job market. Now that they are both full-time students, the owners of Casual Revolution want to help students by allowing them to sell their own items at whatever price they see fit. “We get to offer the space and are here to help, but students can go their own way with their items,” Kline said, “We are giving them a chance to be entrepreneurial without the risk.” Although the store specializes in vintage clothing, all ISU students are welcome and encouraged to donate their own art to be sold. The store is full of everything from handmade aprons to flashy jewelry and paintings created by
Classic and classy styles that are reminiscent of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. Artsy Western-tinged styles reminiscent of the American Southwest Clothing that is handmade or modified Jewelry and accessories Furniture and housewares Art and photography
students in a variety of different majors. “We are excited about getting Iowa State students involved. First-year students to seniors donate everything from clothing to art,” Kline said. Though anyone in the community can consign with the store, students contribute to a large part of Casual Revolution’s merchandise. “We’re a little more biased toward student art because we are students ourselves,” Foddrill said, “It’s our most unique aspect.” Casual Revolution Fashion and Art Market is located on Main Street right above the American Legion Hall. The store is expected to be put together and ready to open by the middle of October. Eventually they also want to spotlight to the student and local artists who are selling their handmade creations. “We want to be able to have ‘meet the artist’ type of events,” Foddrill said. The store would allow an artist to set up an open house in their store to promote their items, explain how they make their products and meet their buyers. Kline and Foddrill are excited to open their doors and share student art with the rest of the community. Their goal is to be unique to the Ames area as well as personal with student involvement. “We want people to think of our store when looking for an item to take home knowing it was unique from the Ames area,” Foddrill said.
Imports
British food store makes expansion plans By Morgan.Shepherd @iowastatedaily.com Ames British Foods has moved to a more spacious location on Douglas Avenue. The store has been in its new location for just more than a month, but it is no stranger to Ames — it’s been open for three years. “This location is much nicer. There is more space and visibility. Our old place was kind of a hole in the wall,” said owner Marcus Johnson.
Johnson started British Foods as a side business while working at Iowa State and was surprised when business took off. “Originally I thought it was going to be just Brits, but we get customers from all walks of life,” he said. “Lots of students that are a part of the student exchange program like us because they can find things they love from abroad.” Popular items from the store include chocolates, jams, preserves, hot ciders, beers, meat
pies, bangers — that’s English sausage — and gift items like tea pots. Everything from the store is genuinely imported from Britain, with the exception of the meat products, which are made for the store in Carroll, Iowa. Johnson said in the future he hopes to add a cafe or an English pub to the location and would like to see business continue growing. The shop already offers a free cup of tea to any student that asks. They also are known for hosting an annual Brit Fest.
