This week is dedicated to raising awareness of “fat talk” in society and working to cease it. The weeklong event is hosted

by Delta Delta Delta sorority and is held across the country. It highlights the importance of taking the pledge to end “fat talk” and celebrating a woman’s inner beauty and character.

“Fat talk describes all of the statements made in everyday conversation that reinforce the thin-ideal standard of female beauty and contribute to women’s dissatisfaction with their bodies,” according to the official Fat Talk Free Week website. “Statements that are considered fat talk don’t necessarily have to be negative; they can seem positive yet also reinforce the need to be thin.”

People are greatly influenced by those around them. With each person refusing to partake in “fat talk,” the chances of a more positive and healthier society will increase.

“People do it for a variety of reasons, the most important being that other people do it. So it becomes a social norm and an acceptable behavior.

In addition, people want compliments, and it is one way to get them,” said Dr. Susan Cross, professor of psychology.

Scientifically, reasons for “fat talk” and negative body images are clear.

“Some people feel like they don’t measure up to society’s expectations in a domain, or what they believe to be society’s expectations, or the expectations of other people they care about,” Cross said.

“Some people compare themselves to others and perceive that they fall short in some domain. They feel they aren’t as thin, pretty, rich or as smart as the people to whom they compare themselves.”

Cross said “fat talk” can start early in a woman’s life.

“Some people grew up getting implicit or explicit messages from their family that they weren’t good enough or pretty enough, or thin enough or smart enough,” she said. “Others do have low self-esteem or psychological disorders that make them think negatively of themselves.

New class provides no mystery “This course is excitBy Katelynn.McCollough ing because it has its feet @iowastatedaily.com Students all across campus will soon begin the task of choosing the courses that will occupy the majority of their time and efforts next semester.

For some, choosing their next “adventure” can be exciting.

For others, it can be absolutely dreadful.

However, a new course that will be available as one of the spring 2012 courses may catch the attention of a variety of students.

The course is “CSI: Ames Crime Fiction and Forensic Science” and will be within the English department. The course also will incorporate “guest experts on forensic science, criminal justice, criminal psychology and fiction writing.”

planted in both the humanities and the sciences,” said Matthew Sivils, associate professor of English who will be teaching the course. “Too often the humanities and the sciences are viewed as somehow irreconcilably separate, but as this course will demonstrate, we are often after the same truths.

“Like the detectives and forensic scientists of the stories we will read, we too will take on the role of sleuths, seeking clues to the inner workings and mysterious appeal of crime fiction.”

During the semester, students will discuss the work of authors such as Edgar Allen Poe, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas

Faculty

Mack to receive award for service

By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com

The impact that Barbara Mack has had on Iowa State University is nothing less than evident. It is not hard to discover the depth of admiration, respect and fondness that students, faculty, staff and alumni share for the associate professor of journalism and communication.

At 1:30 p.m. Friday in the Scheman Building, Mack will be presented with the Alumni Association Award for

Superior Service to Alumni. This award is given to faculty or staff who have striven for the betterment of connections between alumni and Mack the university.

“As I got to thinking about our most distinguished alum, Barbara Mack came to mind,” said Michael Bugeja, director of the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication, who nominated

Mack for the award. “It just seemed natural that Barbara should be nominated for that honor.”

Bugeja has known Mack since 2003, when he first came to Iowa State to interview for the director position. Mack picked him up from the airport and took him to meet her horse, Mikki. For Bugeja, Mack gave him the sense that Iowa State “felt like home.”

Mack’s adventure at Iowa State can be traced back many years. She graduated from Iowa State in 1974

with a degree in journalism. From there she went to Drake University, where she graduated with a law degree in 1977, and then worked at The Des Moines Register and Tribune Company, specializing in broadcast law. However, in 1986, she chose to return to Iowa State and take on the role of a professor.

“I came back here because of my college adviser,” Mack said. “My adviser was retiring and encouraged me

Correction The article about the Government of the Student Body in yesterday’s Daily incorrectly stated that GSB introduced a bill that asked for $40,000 to fund a “green roof” on the Memorial Union.

The $40,000, if allocated, will be divided among two projects. One project deals with improving the accessibility of the north entrance to the MU, especially for handicapped persons, and one project will restore the fountain just north of the MU to working condition.

The Daily regrets the error.

Clarification The article about Dean Labh Hira in Wednesday’s Daily mentioned “Gerdin’s $10 million remodeling project.” The project refers to the Gerdin Business Building, which was finished after a $35 million initiative made possible by a $10 million gift from Russel and Ann Gerdin.

The Daily regrets the error.

Actress Lindsay Lohan missed her first day of community service at the Los Angeles County morgue Thursday, one day after a judge rebuked her for similar failures, revoked her probation and forced her to post $100,000 bail.

“Lindsay arrived at the morgue approximately 20 minutes late and will be returning for orientation tomorrow,” said her publicist, Steven Honig.

“Her lateness was due to a combination of not knowing what entrance to go through and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival,” Honig said in a statement. “Lindsay spoke with the supervisors at the morgue. They showed her how to get in, and everything is all cleared up.”

Chief Coroner Craig Harvey said Lohan failed to show up on time — 7 a.m. Pacific — to the coroner’s office Thursday.

Though she arrived late, Lohan was turned away because there wasn’t enough time to complete her hours for the day, officials said.

Lohan’s tardiness Thursday doesn’t mean she is turned away from the program, Harvey said.

We all speculate about which obnoxious commercial is the absolute worst, but Consumerist took the time to actually find out.

After more than 115,000 votes, the most horrible TV ad of the year was officially found to be Luvs Diapers’ “Poop, There It Is!” ad spot.

Of course, you’re probably familiar with 2011’s Worst Ad In America. Not only is it annoying, it’s downright gross.

For some inexplicable reason, the commercial features cartoon babies competing on stage to see who can fill up their diapers the most. Nauseous yet?

The Luvs poop ad scored 32.22 percent of the votes, beating out the AT&T commercial where a husband gets yelled at for signing up for a particular plan (23.98 percent) and Summer’s Eve’s “Hail to the V” ad spot, which attempts to tie female empowerment to feminine hygiene products (17.5 percent).

Rounding out the top five worst ads this year were AT&T’s Infuse 4G “Spider” spot with 14.32 percent, and Geico’s “Using Smartphones for Dumb Things” commercial with 11.97 percent of the vote.

Check out the list of other ad winners (or losers) at Consumerist.com. Categories include Most Grating Performance By a Human, Trend That Needs to Stop Being a Trend, Original Jingle That Should Be Junked, and Creepiest Commercial Of The Year.

Director aims to finish final River Phoenix film Actor River Phoenix passed away during the filming of “Dark Blood” in 1993, but according to the Hollywood Reporter, the film may be finished after all these years.

The 23-year-old star of “My Own Private Idaho” and “Running on Empty” died of a drug overdose outside L.A. club The Viper Room on Halloween night, leaving his drama “Dark Blood” unfinished. He’d been shooting the movie the day he died.

Dutch director George Sluizer says after much editing of the footage he’s kept hidden for 18 years, he should have a final cut of the film ready next year.

With some re-working and a potential title change (due to copyright issues), Sluizer is hoping voice-overs from River’s brother Joaquin Phoenix will finish “Dark Blood.”

The film follows a widowed hermit (Phoenix) who encounters a Hollywood couple (played by Judy Davis and Jonathan Pryce) stranded in the Arizona desert.

>>BODY.p1 So there are a variety of both external and internal reasons why people feel badly about themselves.”

This weeklong event not only raises knowledge and understanding of the societal issues, but also works to end the battles of weight and appearance young women deal with.

“I support this campaign because I am a recovered anorexic. Daily, I have to remind myself to accept myself for the way I am and want others around me to do the same,” Morgan said. “This is especially important in college where we live in close proximity to each other — other people’s perceptions and attitudes strongly affect ours. College is stressful enough, we don’t need to add negative body image to the mix.”

Taking a stand and pledging to end negative conversations concerning outer beauty is important for everyone. It promotes the fact that people can learn to be accepting and make the change today. It is not far-fetched to think that tragic effects of “fat talk” occur on Iowa State’s campus.

“I developed a severe eating disorder called anorexia nervosa when I was 13 years old,” Morgan said. “I had an extremely low [body mass index] and had to have blood drawn monthly and attend weekly doctor appointments to monitor my organ functioning and weight. I also had to see a psychologist.”

The disorder affected Morgan’s life in several ways.

“I was in competitive dance at the time and wasn’t allowed to practice because I couldn’t afford to exercise,” she said.

“I’d say the disorder was severe for about two years and then became more manageable. The summer before my sophomore year I had to be

hospitalized for dehydration; I think that was the reality shock I needed to take my recovery more seriously.”

Morgan eventually learned to control her eating disorder.

“By my senior year in high school I was able to maintain a healthy weight and didn’t have to go to weekly doctor appointments. This was a huge feat,” she said. “I would definitely say I am fully recovered now, and as happy as I’ve ever been.

I needed to accept the problem in order to fully deal with it, as well find a healthier way to cope with stress.”

Since recovering from her illness, Morgan decided to get a tattoo to remind her of how far she has come. “Before coming to college, I got a tattoo of a butterfly on my stomach,” she said. “The butterfly signifies my ‘metamorphosis’ or recovery from the eating disorder and placed on my stomach because it was always what I called ‘fat.’ It reminds me how far I’ve come and that I’m stronger because of it.”

The “Fat Talk Free Week” campaign not only targets young women, but it can also be helpful to male students.

“It is believed that men’s body image dissatisfaction has tripled in the previous 25 years, from 15 percent to 45 percent of all Western men,” according to the Better Health Channel website.

Males are affected by the “fat talk” of women as well.

“Guys can influence negative images women hold, but generally the young women are trying to make themselves feel better and not always appeal to men,” said Cade Russell, junior in German and international studies. “Men usually don’t find a girl who looks like a twig attractive, but if that is what the media and celebrities are showing is in style, then that is what the women want to achieve.”

>>FACULTY.p1 to apply ... it was one of the best things he did for me.”

Just as Mack’s adviser kept her in touch with the university, Mack has worked hard to keep relationships between alumni and Iowa State strong.“We realize that many of our alums are far away from Iowa, but we want them to remain apart of Iowa State,” she said.

“Through our society of friends, we’re keeping alums and students in contact with each other.”

Mack teaches several courses within the Greenlee School, but she is best known for her media law and ethic classes. Her students also know her for her strict classroom policies, as well as her dedication.

“She calls out students and is loved by them ... that is a singular talent,” Bugeja said. “She has helped shape the lives of thousands of students.” “I want students to come away from a class believing there

Sivils, who has been teaching at Iowa State since fall 2008, got the idea for the course from his colleague, Dr. Deborah Mitchell, while he was still teaching at Westminster College in Pennsylvania.

“When I got to ISU, I soon realized we have among our faculty a gold mine of forensics experts and criminal psychologists, so it made goo d sense to teach a course in the spirit of Dr. Mitchell’s but that took advantage of ISU’s wealth of faculty experts,” he said.

The guest experts consist of several ISU professors that will have the opportunity to share

is always more to learn and there is always a way to improve their understanding,” Mack said. “Nothing is as frustrating to me as a day in which I learn nothing.”

Upon hearing that she had won the award, Mack’s reaction was “shock and humility ... first reaction is I did what needed to be done. It was absolutely unexpected.”

Mack’s busy life is filled with opportunities to continue to learn. She is an Iowa State Daily Publication Board member, a member of the Lawyers for Libraries, the assistant director and associate professor within the Greenlee School, and serves on a variety of committees for the university.

“Barbara ranks among the most read, literate and zealous journalists I have ever met. She is provocative, inspiring, and a good friend,” Bugeja said, who pointed out that students wishing to take a class with Mack will have until fall 2012.

Mack began a phased retirement a

“In talking about the actual science involved, our guest speakers will give us some key points of comparison between fact and fiction... each of these guest experts will help us appreciate the complexities within the literature we read,” Sivils said.

Stephanie Madon, associate professor of psychology who will be a guest expert, is excited to share the results of her research, which “gives insight into some of the reasons why suspects may falsely confess to crimes.”

Other guest experts include professors Gary Wells, David Baldwin, Matt DeLisi and Steve Pett.

After retirement, Mack hopes to continue to travel with her husband, Jim. She also hopes to spend more time with her horse and volunteer at the Animal Rescue League.

There are two clear things that will not change in Mack’s life with retirement. She has no plans to move from Iowa, which has been her home since she was born in Des Moines, and Iowa State will remain an important part of her life.

“You think about all the people you’ve met, all the people you’ve worked with ... it’s humbling to think of the experience I have had here. All of those things have happened because of Iowa State University,” Mack said.

combines multiple interests so you learn more in one setting,” said Mikayla Rhoades, sophomore in environmental studies.

“I would be interested in taking a class like this because it involves so many different areas of study, but sticks to one central topic.”

Sivils hopes that students will “learn to better appreciate the actual science that forms such a key part of these stories.

“Whether on the page, stage, radio or screen, over the last century and a half we’ve spent a lot of time and money losing ourselves in tales of crime and detection. This course will help us investigate why.”

The course is Eng 205 in the 2012 catalog.

Editorial

Don’t subject justice to popular vote In Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kan., the U.S. Supreme Court decided that separate but equal was unconstitutional, and people protested for the imprisonment of the judges and their immediate removal. In Bush v. Gore, the court made a decision and decided the future president of the United States; people considered the ruling as judicial activism and called it the worst decision in the court’s history. The court itself said its decision in that case was to have no value as precedent.

The Supreme Court’s rulings have always been in defense of the Constitution of the United States.

The Constitution was written to keep the courts separate from politics.

It keeps judges responsible to the Constitution by removing them from the realm of politics.

In order to make those important decisions judges must be certain that unpopular decisions will not affect their personal lives. Concern with popular opinion robs justice from a system in which impartial rulings are necessary.

That’s why judges are nominated and approved, but not elected. It’s also why federal judges have no limits on their terms and face no recall vote.

Their primary duty is to uphold the Constitution.

Roe v. Wade is among the most controversial cases, and remains deeply controversial and the target for Mississippi’s Personhood USA organization.

Personhood USA is a political organization led by Keith Mason, which wants to create an amendment in Mississippi that would ban abortion.

The specific purpose for the legislation is to overturn Roe v. Wade, and regardless of the issue itself, we find political manipulation of the judicial system concerning.

Along with many other scholars and legal experts, we consider the amendment an attempt to place the law into the hands of the voters rather than the courts. If law was a matter of democratic vote, then Al Gore would have been the 43rd president of the United States. If that was the case, there’s no telling how long we’d have remain segregated.

Law isn’t a matter of democratic vote, it’s vested in a long legal process that insures justice and checks against tyranny of the majority.

Democracy executed Louis XVI, banned minarets in Switzerland and banned the teaching of evolution in the 1920s.

We don’t want politics involved in law. We don’t want judges contending for votes or concerned about reelection. We shouldn’t subject justice to a popular vote, and we shouldn’t publicly force cases before the Supreme Court. Doing so risks the justice we all enjoy.

Government

Photo: John Andrus/Iowa State Daily Occupy ISU demonstrators take turns shouting their concerns at the Occupy Iowa State march on Oct. 13. The United States is no longer a capitalist welfare state. Rather, we live in a corporate welfare state in which major banks and corporations receive government bailout packages.

Living in a corporate state

I

n response to the extensive negative feedback I’ve received for my previous criticisms of capitalism, I’d like to articulate to the political right that happens to condemn my progressive world view — you are highly inaccurate.

In fact, I am no longer criticizing capitalism. I’m criticizing the socialism for the rich and free enterprise for the poor that plagues the country; I’m criticizing the fact that profits are privatized amongst an owning class of few and risks and losses are socialized to the rest of us. Yes, I’ll say it; we don’t live in a capitalist welfare state any more. We live in a corporate welfare state.

Many prominent figures throughout history have expressed fears of what now characterizes our current economic system, realized the characteristics in recent systems, and spoken against and offered solutions to our current system.

History tends to repeat itself; Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States, said “ ... I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the Bank ... thieves.” This idea was echoed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. when he remarked that our system is “socialism for the rich and brutal capitalism for the poor.”

The notion of corporate welfare and privatized profit (which is a result of socialized risk resulting in socialism for the economic elite and free enterprise for everyone else) is neither radical nor a new idea. We currently live in a system where the profit is disproportionately held by an economic elite; 42.7 percent of our nation’s financial wealth is held in the hands of 1 percent of our population. Yes, nearly 50 percent of wealth is held by 1 percent of the American population.

The economic elite shareholders of a corporation disproportionately profit off of capitalism by relegating risks of enterprise to the lower socioeconomic statuses. This is made possible through decision makers whose campaigns are funded by the wealthy; corporate welfare is received in the form of taxpayer bailouts, deregulation and business-favorable rulings such as Citizens United that serve to further the democratic process from the average American.

A perfect example of corporate welfare is the well-known “Wall Street Bailout.” The pledged $633,575,722,738 infusion of our money into Wall Street was intended to keep pri-

By Ahna.Kruzic @iowastatedaily.com vate banks afloat following the crisis of 2008.

Investments were bought with shaky loans; investment firms relied too much on borrowed money. Just like many average Americans, the investment institutions didn’t have enough cash to withstand the decrease in mortgagepertaining investments when the housing market slumped. Simplified, the American taxpayer was buying toxic assets from private banks who had bet a bit too riskily; the idea was to keep the private world of finance afloat.

The only problem: When I bet riskily, I don’t get a bailout — and neither do you. Neither did American consumers when they were duped into mortgages from predatory lending practices resulting from lack of regulation.

Though some argue it was necessary to the economic vitality of the country, others say the bailout was excessive and lacking necessary regulation to be sure the parties using taxpayer money were doing so responsibly. While CEO pay is at its highest and profits continue to rise, the corporations have not paid back America.

Thus far, $579,952,314,483 has been dispersed to banks and mortgage servicers as part of bailout packages.

Bank of America subsidiaries have been given $220 million so far, and $8 billion total will be dispersed; they have returned $0 in bailout money and contributed $0 in revenue as a result to the U.S. government. Bank of America’s CEO is compensated $16,000,000.

Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has been given $192 million so far, and $5 billion total will be dispersed; they have returned $0 in bailout money and contributed $0 in revenue as a result to the U.S. government. Wells Fargo’s CEO is compensated $21,340,547.

A perfect case study: JPMorgan Chase.

JPMorgan Chase subsidiaries have been given $247 million so far, and $4 billion total will be dispersed; they have returned $0 in bailout money and contributed $0 in revenue as a result to the U.S. government. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the company made a profit of $52,000,000 per day — yes, that’s per day. This figure even includes days they weren’t in busi-

ness. The CEO of JPMorgan Chase made $27.8 million in compensation last year. To reiterate: JPMorgan Chase has repaid $0.

In addition to the taxpayer bailouts contribution to our socialist safety net for the obscenely wealthy, there are many instances of legislation passed that deregulates the business world to increase profit at the expense of everyday Americans and their health, homes, communities and livelihoods.

For example, the BP oil spill tragedy can be directly linked to a round of cost-cutting measures aimed at increasing profit by $3 billion and government deregulation that allowed the cost-cutting measures to occur. As oil-producing countries such as Norway and Brazil require “acoustic switches” on off-shore oil rigs to prevent tragedies, the BP rig did not have one; according to industry officials, the switch would have cost the company $500 million (pocket change to an oil giant such as BP).

The U.S. government looked into requiring the switch a few years before the spill; however, the Interior Department’s Minerals Management Service decided not to require the measure. The Mineral Management Service said in a report that “acoustic systems are not recommended because they tend to be very costly.” BP has reported $14 million in profits.

The estimated economic impact on industry in the region as a result of the spill: $4.3 billion; this disproportionately impacts small business owners such as fishermen, restaurants and tourism. BP couldn’t be proactive enough to spend $500,000 to prevent $4.3 billion in damages? This figure doesn’t include the horrifying long-term impacts such as ecosystem vitality and health concerns for residents exposed to increased levels of chemicals.

We must ask ourselves: Who is benefitting from policies such as these? Who is benefitting from the free-market rhetoric? This rhetoric fed to Americans justifies imposing economic risk on lower socioeconomic classes while allowing the corporate elite to insulate themselves from risks of the market by way of leveraging economic and political advantages enabled by their wealth. As Noam Chomsky would say, “The free market is socialism for the rich, markets for the poor and state protection for the rich.”

Science

Mothers deserve right to know I

t’s exceedingly important for an expectant mother to know if the child she is carrying will inherit genetic abnormalities. Raising a child with a serious genetic defect can be emotionally, financially and mentally difficult.

As a woman who intends to be a parent someday, I would certainly like to have any and all possible knowledge about my child’s genetic future. I would want to ensure that I could accommodate and provide for them to the best of my ability. And if my abilities were to be found lacking, I would not want to bring a child into the world that I could not support in every way possible.

But a new genetic test that detects Down syndrome has raised some eyebrows. This procedure is less invasive than traditional amniocentesis or chronic villus sampling (both of which carry a small risk of miscarriage), simply taking blood from the mother rather than cells directly from the fetus. It is a far easier procedure and, from the looks of it, a highly accurate one as well, identifying 98.6 percent of the Down syndrome cases in preliminary testing.

Down syndrome (in its most common form) is caused by a mutation of chromosomes 21 and 22, causing three copies of chromosome 21 to be formed, rather than the normal two

By Claire.Vriezen @iowastatedaily.com copies. This change in chromosomal makeup can lead to limitations in mental and social development, as well as a host of other medical issues including heart problems, eye problems and compression injury of the spinal cord, just to name a few.

While a great deal of those diagnosed with Down syndrome go on to live independent, fulfilling lives, it cannot be said that their childhood or adult life is without complications.

With a new, less-invasive test soon to be available to pregnant women, there is a concern among some groups that this sort of early genetic testing could “encourage more people to end their pregnancies.”

This is possible. Women who discover they are carrying a child with Down syndrome could choose to terminate the pregnancy. Whether or not that is an ethical decision is another

column in and of itself.

But it is also possible that women who discover they are carrying a Down syndrome child could use this information to get the proper prenatal care, work on providing care and support for the child’s early years, and learn more about the syndrome.

The more knowledge you have about how to provide for a child, the better off that child will be. Similarly, the more you know, the more you can assess if you, personally, are capable of providing the care a child with a disorder like Down syndrome will need.

I fully believe in the ability of a woman to assess her own circumstances, personality and life, and responsibly determine what to do with the information gained from a genetic test such as this.

I don’t see this new test as being something to fear when it comes to women terminating their pregnancies. I see it as something that will allow women to make the most informed decision possible about their pregnancies.

Occupy

Monopoly, not capitalism, is America’s enemy

I

went to the #OccupyISU event last Thursday at noon, and as an unaffiliated member of the crowd, I came away from it a little depressed.

There were definitely legitimate problems in the United States brought up by the Occupiers. Income inequality is at near unprecedented levels and, in hindsight, the Wall Street bailouts were almost certainly a bad idea (especially with how little we held the bailout receivers accountable for their use of the funds).

However, the disregard of reality by some protesters really watered down any goodwill they could have achieved.

As an example, one sign I saw, held by what looked like one of the college students in attendance, said, “Last year, I paid more in taxes than U.S. Bank.” Sure, the point of protest signs is to make a statement that will hit home, but we know right away that this claim is wrong as a flat dollar amount and extremely unlikely even as a percentage.

As compared to individual college students, the tax burden on corporations is heavy. According to the OECD, the U.S. has the second highest combined corporate tax rate in the world at 39.25 percent.

The Occupiers are correct that the effective federal “corporate” tax that corporations pay is often much lower or even zero, due to deductions (losses), but people don’t understand how many taxes are paid in addition to the combined tax rate.

Corporations still pay customs duties, state and local property taxes, gross receipts taxes, state tax, sales tax on purchases, payroll taxes like Social Security taxes, Medicare taxes, federal unemployment taxes, state unemployment taxes, FICA, and many other taxes to the tune of millions of dollars a quarter ... especially a corporation as large as U.S. Bank.

Let’s momentarily ignore the

By John.Andrus @iowastatedaily.com fact that most of the protesters are employed by corporations, and some were even in school, in hopes of one day being employed by our corporate overlords.

A main agenda point of the protests seemed to be how evil and immoral corporations were throughout the world, but especially in this country.

If you knew nothing of the current economic climate and listened to the Occupy crowd, you would think that 99 percent of the country was being repressed far worse than Dennis the Peasant in “Monty Python and The Holy Grail,” even though none would want to trade lives with Dennis.

Some Occupiers also used logical fallacies in their arguments, saying, “If CEO pay is something I deem too high, THEN it is immoral AND corporations are evil and not generous.”

Obviously this is false, without even broaching who gets to decide what “too high” means.

At one point before his death in the early ’90s, Sam Walton, the founder of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., was making something like $60 per second. Does this immediately mean he wasn’t generous?

Walton provided jobs, and continues to provide jobs even after his death, to more than 2 million people worldwide. Wal-Mart also has been one of the most generous corporations in America for decades.

From 2007-2009, it donated almost a billion dollars to charity, with much of it going to help minorities and poor neighborhoods. This is in addition to the financial help that having a store with low prices does to

help poor people that live around it, many of whom live without access to online prices.

In spite of all this, even hearing the word Wal-Mart would have caused an immediate seething rage at the Occupy protest last Thursday.

I’m fairly certain that some of these people literally believe that the heart of Satan was manufactured by corporations.

Public corporations are not individuals. They are not owned by one or two people, but are instead owned by millions of people through stocks, 401(k) plans, and pensions, no doubt many people that the Occupiers call friends and family.

I, like everyone I know, dream of a time gone by, when every town had a square filled with shops and small businesses where everyone could sit and chat and where we could buy all that we needed with the money we got from our crops.

But the reality of the situation is that the world has changed. You can’t start manufacturing vacuum tubes and stagecoaches again, or pay a group of people to dig ditches and another group to fill them in.

You also can’t force the world to return to a time where a king-onhigh makes all the right decisions for everyone in the land and where there is a complete absence of greed.

Do you know why we can’t go back to that?

Because such a place has never and will never exist. All it takes to see that is a look at history.

Socialism (which is basically what the Occupiers were pushing last Thursday, some wearing Mao hats or Che shirts) has been a historical failure.

Take a gander at people’s lives in communist Russia or under Mao’s reign in China, when his benevolent decisions cost 30,000,000 people their lives.

China has been growing economically since the early ’80s, but their

Photo: John Andrus/Iowa State Daily Signs at Occupy ISU include messages of discontentment with corporations at the Occupy Iowa State march on campus Oct. 13. Protesters are disregarding reality and making inaccurate claims in the Occupy Wall Street protests.

growth has been exploding since they made the purposeful decision to embrace free-markets and limited property rights in the early ’90s.

Inevitably China’s communism will fall.

It’s not a matter of if; it’s a matter of when. And that is because power is shifting away from the elites to the people.

They will demand stronger property rights, more freedom of information and elections. They are already moving in this direction, as China is starting to lose manufacturing to even less developed countries, like Vietnam.

People are greedy. The system of government we choose is simply a controlling mechanism of that greed. Capitalism’s goal is to direct that greed to produce economic gain for the society as a whole. Socialism

gives that greed to the ruling class, which is the whole objection of the Occupy protests in the first place.

If you are not part of the ruling elite, then there is no incentive to work harder, and the sad conclusion is less innovation and less progress.

The primary goal of the constitution was to limit, divide and even fragment power.

Consolidation of power is the enemy of freedom. This is true with business as well.

The number one enemy of capitalism is monopoly. People often err in thinking that socialism fixes this, when in reality, it is the ultimate monopoly.

Letter

Decisions devoid of outside influence are impossible After perusing Craig Long’s recent article “Live based on own beliefs,” I couldn’t help but wonder which personal beliefs he felt it was acceptable to live by. Apparently, if your personal beliefs happen to be religious, then they are not “your own” and you should abandon them.

Long writes, “When it comes to social issues, political candidates and your own moral compass, please, for the love of God, use your own judgment.”

Presumably, then, religion should only affect such considerations as what I should eat for breakfast. All important considerations should

Nicholas Driscoll is a graduate student in

only be made from a secular, even atheistic perspective.

Basically, Long seems to be arguing that all religious thought should be largely silenced from the public scene, at least in matters where the outcome affects people. We can believe however we want in our private minds, just so long as we argue and act as veritable atheists.

That was not the message of the Founding Fathers, and it is astoundingly arrogant.

Besides, “one’s own judgment” does not spring out from the personal mental ether independent of outside interference, religious or otherwise.

A person can unthinkingly accept irreligious propaganda as easily as religious thought, and both surround us all the time, molding and affecting us.

Lastly, again despite what Long implies, there are a great many sophisticated arguments against abortion and same-sex marriage

that have been offered outside of a religious framework, for those willing to deeply consider the matter.

And whether in a secular country or religious, our laws institutionalize morality every day. “Thou shalt not steal” and “thou shalt not murder” are moral imperatives woven into the fabric of U.S. law.

I hope Long does not equally oppose those, often religiously motivated, moral positions.

There is much more to be said; let us not silence those who would say it just because we disagree with their presuppositions.

Politics

Semester holidays to bring exciting political times New Hampshire adamant in being ‘first in nation’ in election primaries

Steffen Schmidt is a university professor of political science.

hen will the primary and caucus season for 2012 officially start? Ask Bill Gardner, the secretary of state of New Hampshire.

Gardner started his career in New Hampshire politics as a state representative. He was elected secretary of state in 1976 by the state legislature and has remained in that office under both Democratic and Republican legislatures. I suspect he’s the longest-serving SOS and for good reason. Gardner is the most ardent defender and protector of the New Hampshire “first in the nation” presidential primary system.

Lean and intense, Gardner is a true believer that an orderly and sequential presidential selection process, one that will allow candidates to plan ahead, present themselves to voters in the two small and politics-friendly states of Iowa followed a week later by New Hampshire. That’s the proper order of the political universe and Gardner does not suffer fools who want to move the calendar around.

After all, what would life in American be like if we celebrated New Year’s followed by Christmas? It’s just not right.

When I met with Gardner in his very comfortable, lived-in office in Concord, N.H., he told many tales of upstart governors or secretaries of state (including Iowa’s Chet Culver) who tried to mess with the orderly sequence in the past. He always won.

His suite of offices is full of presidential election memorabilia, which he shows any visitor like a proud dad sharing pictures of his grandchildren.

There is an imposing oak table at which he sits presidential wannabes so they can fill out the New Hampshire primary ballot form and write their obligatory check to the state. There are

pictures of every presidential contender of note and thus every president of the United States with Gardner proudly gleaming.

His office is one of the mandatory stops on the pilgrimage to political success.

Bill Gardner is the godfather of political primaries.

Gardner is so legendary that the Twitter hashtag #BillGardnerFacts is growing like wildfire. Here are a few of my favorite tweets.

“Bill Gardner was challenged to a staring contest in first grade. He didn’t blink until he was 12.”

“In his high school yearbook, students were listed alphabetically. Gardner had the alphabet changed to begin with G.” “God wanted to create the world in 11 days. Bill Gardner said seven.”

“Bill Gardner doesn’t watch weather forecasts. He tells it when to snow.”

“One day Bill Gardner decided he didn’t want to pay a sales tax ever again. The rest is history.” (New Hampshire has no sales tax.)

I think the law is still written so that anyone who can file and write a check can run for president in New Hampshire. It’s partly good business, but I strongly felt that it’s also a Yankee sense of fairness the privilege of running for the nation’s highest office should be open to as many people as possible and not limited to professional politicians.

It makes for a large and interesting list.

Of course, I reminisce about my fascinating hour chatting with Gardner a few years ago because he has again unsheathed his sword and threatened the upstarts (the state of Nevada and

W

South Carolina) with severe penalties if they upset the election calendar. (Truth in reporting: I have a summer cabin on a lake in New Hampshire and love that state, but I live and vote in Iowa.)

His threat to move the New Hampshire primary to December if Nevada moves its caucuses up to Jan. 14, which it has promised to do, is not an idle threat. He’ll move it to November if he has to.

Never mind Nevada’s disrespectful claim that “it’s time to start a new tradition.” That’s an oxymoron. Tradition is tradition.

Iowa has now set a “firm” date of Jan. 3 no matter when New Hampshire holds its primary. That would break the tradition, and I think would be bad mojo for the future of the “orderly sequence” of presidential candidate selection.

A really early primary in the Granite State would benefit the candidates with a great existing campaign plan, an acceptable platform and a solid organization already on the ground. It also favors candidates with bulging campaign war chests because there will be little time to fund raise.

Early Iowa caucuses would be a disaster for ISU students because they will be scattered all over the place and not able to participate in the caucuses as they would if the event were held in February when it was originally scheduled.

Just when you think things are settling in for a nice holiday season, life in politics gets exciting.

Former ISU running back signs with IFL

By Jake Calhoun, Daily staff writer Former ISU running back Alexander Robinson has signed with the Cedar Rapids Titans, an expansion team of the Indoor Football League, for the 2012 season.

Robinson, the fourth all-time leading rusher in ISU history with 3,309 yards, said he was contacted by the general manager of the Titans after being cut from the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 3.

“It’s just really beginning,” Robinson said of the transition from the NFL to the IFL. “I’ve still got to continue working out. For me, it’s pretty much the same as the [NFL] lockout, it’s just about waiting to hear something and waiting to move from there.”

The IFL, founded in 2008, consists of 13 teams and will be expanding to 16 for the 2012 season with one of those teams being the Cedar Rapids Titans.

“I had never heard of the IFL before,” Robinson said. “So I did a little bit of research and there’s been some good guys that came out of there.”

Buffalo Bills running back Fred Jackson emerged from previous renditions of the IFL — the National Indoor Football League and the United Indoor Football League — before eventually making his way to the NFL after emerging from Coe College in Cedar Rapids.

Robinson said his goal was to ultimately return to the NFL as well.

“When I talked with the general manager of the Cedar Rapids Titans, he said that was his goal too,” Robinson said. “He said he wants to try to help me get back into the NFL.”

Big 12:

Mizzou board meets amid SEC talks The University of Missouri’s governing board opened a two-day meeting Thursday amid speculation the university is close to leaving the Big 12 Conference for the SEC. Conference affiliation wasn’t listed on the agenda, which includes closed sessions Thursday and Friday. University spokeswoman Jennifer Hollingshead said the curators do not plan to discuss the topic until at least Friday.

Steve Owens, acting president of the four-campus Missouri system, declined to comment about the curators’ possible discussions, and board Chairman Warren Erdman added: “I’m not going to talk about that.”

Earlier this month, the curators gave Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton authority to explore leaving the Big 12. Missouri officials are considering a move to the SEC in hopes of getting greater television revenue.

An internal university document obtained recently by The Associated Press showed Missouri hopes to gain as much as $12 million annually in additional television and cable revenue in the SEC. But the school could also face a hefty exit fee from the Big 12.

Farewell, Texas A&M

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com

Jeremy Reeves cannot help but lament Iowa State’s last conference game against Texas A&M. The junior cornerback said Wednesday he has three high school teammates on the roster for No. 17 Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1 Big 12), which will travel to Ames to face Iowa State (3-3, 0-3) on Saturday in its last game as a member of the Big 12 during the Cyclones’ 99th Homecoming.

“It’s going to be crazy,” Reeves said. “The Big 12 is a fun conference to play in, but they chose to go to someplace else. That’s something that we can’t control. But to play against them is going to be great.”

Texas A&M will be moving to the Southeastern Conference next year, effective July 2012.

Despite its recent strug-

gles through a three-game losing skid, Iowa State is out to make its last matchup against A&M a memorable one.

“They’ve got explosive players and tough, hardnosed players, but we’ve got the same,” said defensive end Jacob Lattimer. “We might not have as many professional prospects, but we are going to work as hard as we can and we pride ourselves on that.”

The Aggies lead the Big 12 in run defense, allowing just 72.3 rushing yards per game and seven touchdowns in six games. This does not bode well for an ISU offense that is dead last in the Big 12 in run offense with 150.5 rushing yards per game and has only had a 100-yard rusher in two games this season.

However, facing a team in Texas A&M that has accumulated the most sacks among FBS schools (26) through tireless blitzing packages opens up the opportunity for

making big plays.

“If you can protect and give [the quarterback] time, somebody’s going to have an opportunity to come free,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads.

“There’s been tons of occasions over the year where pressure is brought and guys are wide open, but you never get to them because of the pressure.

“So if you can locate and deliver, then you have an opportunity for big plays.”

On offense, A&M comes into the game averaging 227.7 rushing yards per game with running backs Christine Michael and Cyrus Gray combining for more than 1,000 yards and 14 touchdowns.

“They have a tough running game,” Lattimer said.

“They have a pretty decently powerful back and the last backs we played, they were pretty good as well. But I think [Gray], he will probably be one of the best backs we’ve

seen so far.”

For Iowa State, the situation of which quarterback will start between Jantz and Jared Barnett is still up in the air, Rhoads said Wednesday.

“There’s been more reps for Jared, more overall and he’s been taking reps with the one’s — both of them have been,” Rhoads said of the dueling quarterbacks. “I’ll base [the decision] more on film at the end of the day and get a good, thorough look at everything.”

Barnett was put into the fourth quarter of Iowa State’s 52-17 loss to Missouri last Saturday in Columbia, Mo., after Jantz’s lackadaisical performance of completing 17-of-32 of his passes for 161 yards and no touchdowns.

Despite completing less than half of his passes and throwing an interception, Barnett successfully led the ISU offense down the field for

the only offensive touchdown of the game — a 13-yard run by running back Jeff Woody.

“The Missouri game was a debacle,” Rhoads said. “A game like that, you want to put it behind you fast.”

Jantz has started all six games at quarterback this season for the Cyclones.

Iowa State will kick off against No. 17 Texas A&M on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ABC throughout the state of Iowa.

“Texas out-played us, Baylor out-played us, all three of those are good football teams,” Rhoads said.

“The schedule isn’t going to get any easier, in fact, it’s going to get increasingly harder as we go through if you base that on the rankings.

“We’ve got to have a great focus, what I refer to as a ‘hard focus,’ on every day’s assignments and this particular plan and Saturday’s game against Texas A&M.”

Cyclones take on Aggies Games

present chance for wins

By Zach.Gourley @iowastatedaily.com The ISU volleyball team is hoping to do something this Saturday that no other team has done so far this season: beat Texas A&M in College Station, Texas.

No. 15 Iowa State (15-3, 6-1 Big 12), now tied for first in the Big 12 standings, will try to snap the Aggies’ three-game win streak and put a blemish on their 7-0 home record.

“It’s a tough place to play, we haven’t won down there a whole lot, so that will be a huge match for us,” said ISU coach Christy JohnsonLynch. “It’s a tough gym. We can’t be average and win, we’re going to have to play well.”

Texas A&M (16-4, 5-2) returns all six starters as well as the libero from last year’s campaign in which it went 13-17 overall.

The Aggie offensive attack is led by outside hitter Kelsey Black, who is averaging 3.42 kills per set while hitting at a .236 attack percent.

“Kelsey Black will be someone we’ll key on. She’s very athletic, she’s not very big, but she’s very explosive,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She hits the ball really hard and has a great arm, so we’ll have to slow her down.”

Middle blocker Lindsey Miller is another key player for the Aggies, leading the team and ranking fourth in the Big 12 with a .371 hitting percentage.

While the Aggies are dead-last in the conference in blocks per set at 1.87, Miller ranks sixth in the Big 12 with 1.17 blocks per set.

ISU middle blocker Jamie Straube said that while scouting a talented team like Texas A&M is important, the Cyclones have to make sure they play their own game.

Straube had four kills in the Cyclones’ 3-0 sweep of the Bears. Iowa State travels to College Station, Texas, to take on Texas A&M on Saturday.

“A lot of it is that we have so much talent and so much potential that if we do what we can do well, it doesn’t matter who we’re playing or what they’re doing as long as we’re taking care of our side of the net,” she said.

Johnson-Lynch has pointed to

the next two weeks as pivotal to the success of the Cyclones’ season, as they will face the top three teams in the conference in Texas A&M, Texas and Oklahoma.

First serve in College Station, Texas, will be Saturday at 6:30 p.m.

The ISU soccer team will try to carry the momentum it gained after a 2-0 win against Southeast Missouri State on Sunday into this weekend as the Cyclones take on Texas Tech on Friday and Kansas on Sunday.

The win against Southeast Missouri State was the first for the Cyclones (7-8-1, 0-5 Big 12) since league play began. Coach Wendy Dillinger said getting the victory was very important for team confidence going into the remaining games.

“It was good to see [sophomore Emily] Goldstein score on Sunday and just to dominate that way,” Dillinger said. “We had 23 shots and to only give up five, I mean, that is what we have to do to win.”

Iowa State’s first opponent of the weekend will be the Texas Tech Red Raiders in a home match for the Cyclones. Texas Tech is coming into the game after beating Texas 3-2 in double overtime.

The win against Texas ended an 11-game winless streak for the Red Raiders against the Longhorns.

Texas Tech’s last prior victory against Texas came on Oct. 8, 1999.

For Lubbock, Texas, native and ISU sophomore Jennifer Dominguez, the game against the Red Raiders has

Special teams part of Cyclones’ early success

By Dan.Kassan @iowastatedaily.com After playing a junior league team the week prior, Iowa State earned a series sweep of Oakland University last weekend, thanks in large part to special teams.

Iowa State (9-0-1) scored on half of its power-play chances, tallying four goals with the man advantage. The Cyclones did even better on penalty kills, allowing only one goal on 10 Oakland power plays.

The Cyclones host Arizona this weekend, and coach Al Murdoch emphasized the continuation of good special teams play.

“I think we’ll take six penalties in the game and we have to kill all six, so penalty-killing is very important,” he said.

“I think they’ll take six

“It is kind of like my little inner rival, being from Lubbock,” Dominguez said.

“I think it is always exciting to play against Tech and for me it would make the victory a little sweeter with it being against Tech. I know [Texas Tech freshman] Taylor Narvaiz, she was my high school teammate for two years, so it will be exciting to get to see her since she is one of my best friends.”

After Texas Tech comes Kansas on the schedule for Iowa State in a Sunday game in Ames. The Jayhawks are on a two-game win streak with victories against Creighton and Texas Tech and have a Big 12 Conference record of 2-3.

Dillinger said that for Iowa State to be successful, it will

This weekend’s series against the Wildcats is part of Homecoming at Iowa State.

Both Clark and Murdoch said they enjoy the added hype and atmosphere.

“Homecoming is always a big deal,” Clark said. “A lot of fans [and] parents show up.

It’s always an important and exciting week for us. It gets you going when you see all those people in the stands.”

However, for Wilkinson, it’s just another game on the schedule for the Cyclones.

“The things we have worked on in practice really translated into our games,” Clark said.

Clark had three points on the power play in last weekend’s series sweep. He said converting on odd-man chances and killing off the time down a man is key.

“Special teams are something every team needs to focus on because it’s such a big part of the game,” Clark said.

“This week, as we face another ranked opponent, it’s really important for our special teams to be clicking.”

Fellow defenseman Justin Wilkinson said the team is cutting down on mistakes and improving in a lot of areas.

“Special teams seem to be improving,” Wilkinson said. “Our penalty kill is really strong right now and our power play is continuing to

Homecoming

Coaches keep up with their alma maters Playing careers prepares staff for coaching jobs

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com As Iowa State celebrates its 99th Homecoming, coaches of the ISU football team prepare their players for Texas A&M. The Aggies come to Ames at 4-2 (2-1 Big 12) and are fir-

ing on all cylinders coming off a 55-28 drubbing of Baylor. The Cyclones, however, Rhoads limp into S a t u r d a y ’s matchup on a three-game losing streak.

While the coaches attempt to get their players ready for Homecoming, a few harkened back to the days when

they were on the playing field themselves.

“Oh, that takes me back a while,” said running back coach Ken Pope, when asked about his playing days.

“I played three years [at Oklahoma] and we had a lot of success.”

Pope played at the University of Oklahoma from 1970-73, playing on the freshman team his first year, then at defensive back his final three.

Pope played on a Sugar Bowl-

winning team in 1972 and made a name for himself on the field along the way.

“I guess my biggest claim to fame would be the fact that when we played the 1972 [game] against Nebraska — as a matter of fact we played in Lincoln, [Neb.,] for the conference championship that year — that was my best game,” Pope said. “I was Chevrolet Player of the Game that game.

That was pretty unique. I had two interceptions that game —

Jeremiah Davis, sports editor (34-15)

Texas A&M — A&M has a prolific offense, and the Cyclones have had big-time defensive issues the last few weeks. Bad recipe.

West Virginia — Could be a long night for the Orange. If only they were in Morgantown, W. Va., and could drink beer at the game.

LSU — The Chiz doesn’t have a paid-for quarterback to help him this time.

One Tiger team runs into another Tiger buzz saw.

Michigan State — The Spartans shut down Denard Robinson, and now on to Russell Wilson.

My upset pick of the week.

Stanford — One of these picks is not like the other.

By that I mean, one of us is a homer.

Oklahoma State — Mizzou may have looked really good against Iowa State, but the Cowboys’ offense is in much better shape than the Cyclones’.

Notre Dame — This game used to be a big deal. Now it’s just one loud-mouth coach against another.

Jake Calhoun, assistant sports editor (31-18)

Texas A&M — With Texas A&M leaving for the SEC next year, this will be the last time the Aggies get to bulldoze Iowa State.

West Virginia — West Virginia’s pass offense is ranked fourth in the nation. Syracuse’s pass defense? 112th in the nation. This won’t even be close.

LSU — The Tigers are facing the Tigers. How is this not animal cruelty?

Wisconsin — Russell Wilson against the No. 2 defense in the nation? I’ll take Wilson, but this pick really makes me uneasy.

Washington — I’m picking my Huskies in an upset, but I am still upset that Jake Locker didn’t go to the Seattle Seahawks.

Oklahoma State — As if Mizzou needed any more reason to jump from mediocrity in the Big 12 to mediocrity in the SEC.

Notre Dame — The Super Bowl of private schools.

At stake? Bragging rights among the cliques of sweater vests at the yacht club.

Dan Tracy, senior sports reporter (35-14)

Texas A&M — Cyclones have never had a fourgame losing streak under Paul Rhoads. We’ll see how the team responds after dropping their fourth straight on Saturday.

West Virginia — Geno Smith has thrown for 350-plus yards four times this season. Make it five.

Mountaineers roll.

LSU — I don’t care if Auburn had 11 Cam Newtons on offense (Hint: They don’t even have one this year), LSU’s defense might be in the best in the land.

Wisconsin — This will be the closest game the Badgers have played all season, but I think RussellMania runs wild and the Badgers avenge last season’s loss.

Stanford — Don’t count out the Huskies. They have a solid running game and an emerging QB in sophomore Keith Price, but Stanford is more than just Andrew Luck too.

Oklahoma State — If Mizzou can run the ball (Okie State has the 80thranked run defense in the nation), it can hang close, but in the end the Cowboys offense is just too lethal.

Notre Dame — First night game at Notre Dame Stadium in 21 years. No Reggie Bush to push Matt Leinart across the goal line in this one. Irish win their fifth straight.

Jake Lovett, editor in chief (37-12)

Texas A&M — Texas A&M whooped Baylor. Baylor whooped Iowa State. The transitive property tells me this might get ugly.

West Virginia — “Gosh, I just love Syracuse football.” — No one.

LSU — Bet the Tigers win.

Wisconsin — I don’t hesitate with this at all.

Bucky is easily top dog in the Big Ten.

Stanford — Andrew Luck: Three years, one loss at home. He’ll be OK in this one.

Oklahoma State — The Tigers haven’t beaten Oklahoma State since 2005. Brandon Weeden was just 21. Wait, that’s not that young. He’s really old.

Notre Dame — The ’70s called. It wants its rivalry back.

Alexander Robinson, former ISU running back (Guest pick)

Iowa State — It’s Homecoming. It’s Ames.

Jack Trice Stadium.

Defense gets back on track. Running game and ball security propel Iowa State.

West Virginia — “Syra-Who?”

LSU — Home game vs. defending national champs? Death Valley will be rocking. Literally

Wisconsin — No secret what they do. Stop the run. Run the ball then let Wilson carve teams apart.

They are scary good this year.

Stanford — Washington as a program has improved over the years, but Stanford has made leaps and bounds.

Oklahoma State — Their offense is too explosive and they score too much too quickly for Mizzou.

Notre Dame — Mike Floyd is from Minnesota.

Enough said. Lol

side his dad at Iowa State. He said playing for his dad was as much about his future in coaching as it was his present as a player.

“I knew I wanted to coach — at least I thought I wanted to coach,” Burnham said. “And I thought, even if I never played a down [at South Carolina], the chance to play underneath [my dad] would be beneficial for me down the road in the coaching profession.”

Now that these former players are in the coaching world, it’s hard for them to keep up with their alma maters as much as they’d like.

But they try their best.

“Absolutely,” said coach Paul Rhoads, when asked if he keeps up with his alma mater, Missouri Western. “Every week I follow their scores and see how they’re doing. Their head coach now was a student coach when I was a freshman, so he and I are good friends. [I’m] very proud of the progress they’ve made under him.”

Rhoads, a defensive back from 1985-88, said he hasn’t been able to make a game since he left the school because he went into coaching right away.

“You know, I’d sure like to see them play,” Rhoads said. “Because of my profession, I’ve never got to see them play or even been back there for a spring or anything like that.”

Across the board, the coaches — more than anything — wish their alma maters success. They know better than anyone what went into their time as players, and still pull for their former teams.

“You still got a lot of pride,” Burnham said. “All the blood, sweat and tears you put into a program, you want to see them be successful.”

Editorial

Aggies’ move to SEC won’t shake Cyclones When everything was on the line in double overtime, ISU coach Paul Rhoads made the decision.

They were going for two.

Without revealing the outcome of the next play, most ISU fans will remember that the double-overtime game described above was a 31-30 loss to Nebraska last season in the 94th and final time the teams faced off as members of the same conference.

One week later, the Cyclones also played the Colorado Buffaloes for the final time in conference play. Remember that game?

Colorado had just fired coach Dan Hawkins the week before and Iowa State seemed poised for a big road win.

Rather than a big win, ISU fans will remember a 34-14 road loss during which starting quarterback Austen Arnaud suffered a seasonending knee injury. That loss ended a 63-game series between the two teams as members of the Big Eight and Big 12 Conferences.

As members of the Big Eight and Big 12 North division, there was something more on the line last year as both teams tried to leave their mark on the series between both teams by winning the final game.

On Saturday, Iowa State will play Texas A&M likely for the last time in conference play as the Aggies will join the Southeastern Conference on July 1, 2012.

However, with the Aggies as a member of the Big 12 South division, the two teams have only squared off in conference play eight times since the Big 12 formed in 1996.

The Aggies have dominated the matchup, winning nine of the 10 total meetings — the teams also played in 1978 and 1984 — with the only ISU victory coming in 2005 when the Cyclones knocked off A&M 42-14 in College Station,

Texas.

With not much history in the matchup, there isn’t really the same feeling around Iowa State and there shouldn’t be as the Cyclones and Aggies prepare to face off for the last time in Big 12 play.

So how will the move by Texas A&M to leave the Big 12 affect Iowa State?

The largest effect any conference switch by a Texas team involves is recruiting.

In nearly every major sport, many of the top high school athletes in the state of Texas are coveted by programs across the country. Football is no exception.

The fact that TCU will now take Texas A&M’s place next season will essentially replace A&M’s place in recruiting among Big 12 teams.

According to Rivals.com, TCU actually leapfrogged Texas A&M in recruiting last season, bringing in the nation’s No. 26 recruiting class versus A&M’s No. 27 recruiting class following an undefeated season and Rose Bowl win.

“The obvious is we’re replacing a Texas school with a Texas school and the recruiting fact that we’ll still be going to the state of Texas two times every year to play football games is important to our recruiting base,” Rhoads said on Oct. 10, the day TCU accepted

its invite to the Big 12.

How important is Texas to Iowa State’s recruiting base?

Twenty-four of the players on Iowa State’s roster hail from the Lonestar state. The number of players from Texas are second only to the number of players from Iowa (52).

Although football carries perhaps the most popularity and makes the most money of any Division I sport, it’s important to note that the Cyclones are 9-24 in volleyball, 7-10 in men’s basketball and 14-6 in women’s basketball against the Aggies.

Not a very competitive rivalry throughout the Aggies’ Big 12 tenure.

It will be a big game for Iowa State after losing three straight, but as the Aggies bid farewell to the Big 12, this game and the series between these two teams will not be as missed as others in the Big 12.

With TCU taking the Aggies place, don’t expect a monumental shift in Iowa State’s place among the Big 12 in recruiting and performance.

Another side to stadium dining ISU Dining adds to menu on concourse, private suite areas

By Steph Ferguson AmesEats Flavors Writer Chips, hot dogs, peanuts and hamburgers — the typical stadium food you would find at a football game.

That has changed this year with ISU Dining’s menu changes on both the concourse level and the private suite areas.

Emma Grinde, junior in culinary science, volunteers with Lutheran Campus Ministry to serve food at home football games.

She mentioned a new menu item called a “Clone dog.”

“It’s a steamed hot dog in a bun topped with a splash of hot sauce and a heaping scoop of blue cheese coleslaw. It’s not just a hot dog, but a meal,” she said.

The hot dog is served in a paper boat with a fork to assist in eating.

Grinde said the menu item has

been increasing in popularity every game.

A side of football many students don’t get to experience is the suites.

Elise Fiscus, senior in culinary science and food science, has been a suite attendant at Jack Trice Stadium for two football seasons.

She described the new menu as having more options such as buffalo wings, vegetable platters, sandwiches and pulled pork.

“The new menu just gives more options for the guests. Before we would just serve a gameday special like frozen pizza and appetizers,” Fiscus said.

“This gives the people more choices and we still have the restaurant menu for them to order extras off of.”

Everything is prepped at KnappStorms Dining through ISU Catering and hauled to the stadium in trucks.

“It’s a great experience and I get to develop personal relationships with the people I am serving,” Fiscus said.
