GSB funds student service groups on campus By Makayla.Tendall @iowastatedaily.com

YUVA and second year Ph.D. student in electrical engineering. Singhal also said different sections of Hinduism, like Jainism and Sikhism, celebrate Diwali but for different historical reasons. “This festival signifies good over evil. Everything related to the light is good. It symbolizes everything: hope, morality, strength, courage, etc.,” Singhal said. The energy was high as the diyas were lit, and some people began exchanging memories of what Diwali was like back in

The Government of the Student Body discussed funding the Student Loan Education Office and the Iowa State Daily during Wednesday night’s senate meeting. A bill to fund the Student Loan Education Office with $116,821.87 was passed by GSB, but senators initially debated funding only half of the initial amount at this point. The office would provide one-on-one student loan counseling and would replace the Financial Counseling Clinic that GSB decided last year was not meeting students’ needs. The more than $116,000 will be put toward paying the salaries of professionals in the office. The Finance Committee for GSB created an amendment that would fund the Student Loan Education Office a little more than $58,000 initially. They said they do not yet know the amount of students who will take advantage of the office, and therefore, they do not know how many faculty members the office will require. Multiple senators said GSB should fund the bill completely or not at all. However, others said the administration would commit the other funding to make up for what GSB may not fund at this point. Hillary Kletscher, GSB president, said she wanted to see the senators fund the bill in full. In her experience, she said she has heard the majority of ISU students’ concerns about their own student debt and how they don’t know how their student loans are structured. “It’s such a real issue. This is something that affects our students in such a real way. To me, I think we should absolutely fund it in the full amount. We want to help them get the most services possible,” Kletscher said. “There are very few things that students get excited about.” ISU students graduate with an average of $30,000 in debt, among the highest of students in Iowa. On average, Iowa students have the sixth largest debt in the nation. “62 out of every 100 students graduate with student debt. Just imagine the number of students we would help by funding this,” said Abhijit Patwa, finance director. While some senators did not understand the need to fund the full bill at this time, Patwa said the university is not required by law to create any office like the Student Loan Education Office and GSB should stand up for students’ needs. The GSB also voted to approve funding the Iowa State Daily an additional $30,000 to the already-funded $110,000 for the 2014-2015 academic year. Senators debated on whether or not the Iowa State Daily needed an additional $30,000 and if they were serving students’ needs in the best way. Some senators said they had talked to many students who said the Iowa State Daily had not been meeting their needs or printing stories that students wanted to read. One senator also said that though the student newspaper has a tradition of serving students for 125 years, traditions can be changed. Another publication may take the Daily’s place if it ceases to exist, they said. Other senators said a student newspaper provides the

Sam Kammermeier, senior in nutritional science, and AJ Tjaden, junior in international business and marketing, display their bow ties on Wednesday at the Delta Upsilon house.

The bow t ie guys ISU students look to bring back the ‘classic’ bow tie trend By Kenzi.Mongar @iowastatedaily.com From flying pigs to polka dot patterns, the bow tie is making a comeback. ISU students Aj Tjaden and Sam Kammermeier collectively have more than 50 bow ties. They can be seen two or three times a week sporting them around their necks on campus. Their uncommon fashion accessory has given them the nickname “the bow tie guys.” Kammermeier, senior in nutritional science, had his own bow tie business during the summer. The business, Better Men Bow Ties, made just less than $500 in one month. He learned to sew for the purpose of making his own bow ties, which he sold for $15 each. “I realized that was a lot of work. I was taking a lot of time to make bow ties that weren’t the best quality, so I stopped sewing them and started buying them,” Kammermeier said. He registered his business and was able to purchase bow ties wholesale, but then he began

an internship and didn’t have the time to do it anymore. Kammermeier and Tjaden met when they noticed each other wearing bow ties all of the time. “Any guy that wears a bow tie can tell you it’s sort of an odd thing to wear, so when you see someone wearing a bow tie it’s like an instant connection,” Kammermeier said.

Tjaden, junior in marketing, said his bow tie hobby was sparked in college when his friends brought back bow ties from their study abroad trips for him. Kammermeier started the hobby in high school at his prom because he wanted to be the unique kid with the bow tie.

Abhinav Venkatraman lights a candle at a Diwali celebration at the Memorial Union fountain. The event, which took place on Wednesday, is a celebration of the victory of light over darkness and is celebrated by many cultures in Asia.

Shouts of “Happy Diwali!” bounced off the walls outside of the Memorial Union as members of Hindu YUVA lit diyas, small lamps or candles, on top of the Fountain of the Four Seasons. Members of the Hindu YUVA, or Youth for Unity Virtues and Action, and others gathered around the fountain to celebrate night two of Diwali. Diwali is a Hindu celebration of the return of Lord Rama after he defeated a demon, said Ankit Singhal, president of Hindu

Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody performs at Stephens Auditorium By Melissa.Garrett @iowastatedaily.com In the hilarious new musical, the cast of Spank! The Fifty Shades Parody brings adult humor and saucy romance to Stephens Auditorium tonight in Mills Entertainment’s parody of E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey. The show features three main characters. Amanda Barker plays E.B. Janet, Spank!’s narrator, and a few other characters. Barker’s character addresses the audience within the first 30 seconds of the show and invites them to help her write the story of Tasha Woode and Hugh Hansen. Actors still work from a script, but Barker says there are several improvised elements in the show that open up the conversation to the audience. “We are able to make it our own and tailor it to the venue we are in as well. I think that’s one of the reasons this show has been so successful,” Barker said. “There is a lot of improv in the show.” Barker describes the show, running for two years now, as quite

a phenomenon and recalls what it was like to sit down with the script for the first time. “I’ll never forget sitting at Starbucks [reading the script] and laughing literally out loud,” Barker said. “I remember the final scene and spitting out my coffee, I was laughing so hard.” Whether you have read the Fifty Shades of Grey series or not, the show is perfect for anyone who wants to laugh and makes for an interesting date night or girls night. “A show like Spank!, just knowing that the book is popular, will be a fairly recognizable title,” said Patti Cotter, development and sponsorship manager for the Iowa State Center. “We’ve had some good luck with comedy, [so] we thought this would be a very fun, lighthearted theater piece to put on the series.” Thrilled to be back in Iowa, Barker said the response from the audience has always been amazing. “This is sort of the show for women in America,” Barker said. “It really has become a celebration of women in America and an opportunity to have a girls night out.” Before the show begins, local businesses,

including Chocolaterie Stam and Snus Hill Winery, will offer chocolate and wine samples to audience members. “We’ve worked with [Chocolaterie Stam and Snus Hill Winery] before, and it’s just very generous of them to offer samples to our audience,” Cotter said. “We like enhancing the experience for the audience [and] we’re grateful to both of them for having a free sample night for Spank!” “If you want to laugh, come to Spank! It’s as simple as that,” Barker said. “We go there: we’re body, we’re fun, we’re sexual, we’re hilarious, we’re out of the box and most importantly we’re local so we’ll make it about you.” Spank! The Fifty Shades parody will perform at 7:30 p.m. tonight at Stephens Auditorium. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster and are available for purchase at the Stephens Auditorium ticket office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information on Spank!

Lenz and Hansen will be preparing the turf at Wembley Stadium in London, England for two games in the National Football League International Series. The graduate students are eager to learn new methods in turf management.

Opportunity of a lifetime Two ISU graduates to prepare turf at Wembley Stadium By Dylan.Roth @iowastatedaily.com Perfecting the turf at Jack Trice Stadium and preparing the field at two Super Bowls was only the beginning for Iowa State turf management graduate students Joshua Lenz and Kevin Hansen. A trip across the Atlantic Ocean to London’s renowned Wembley Stadium is next on their agenda. This will not be their first time on the big stage. In addition to preparing the turf at Jack Trice Stadium for Cyclone game days, Lenz and Hansen have both interned on turf crews at Super Bowls. Lenz interned for Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, and Hansen interned for Super Bowl XLVII at the Mer-

cedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans. “Whenever I go to another country, even if it’s in my same profession, they’re going to do stuff that’s different than what I’m used to,” Hansen said. Lenz and Hansen will be preparing the turf at Wembley Stadium in London, England for two games in the National Football League International Series. Lenz left for London on Oct. 16 and will tend the turf of Wembley Stadium for the Atlanta Falcons and Detroit Lions game on Oct. 26. Hansen will be leaving for London on Oct. 29 and will work the Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars game on Nov. 9. The majority of Wembley Stadium’s 90,000 seats will be filled to admire Lenz

and Hansen’s handywork. “I really enjoy game days,” Hansen said. “We work hard and it’s good to see people appreciate it and notice it.” Lenz and Hansen were contacted by turf managers that they had previously worked with during their Super Bowl internships. The managers presented the graduate students with the chance to prepare Wembley Stadium for the two NFL games. It was an easy decision for both Lenz and Hansen. They chose to pursue the opportunity to showcase their abilities in London’s illustrious stadium. “It will be cool to see how other people do turf management,” Hansen said. Ryan Adams, lecturer in the Department of Horticulture, said that there

has been a huge shift to artificial turf in recent years. Lenz’s and Hansen’s Super Bowl internships dealt with artificial turf fields. Wembley Stadium is a combination of artificial turf and natural grass. Tim Van Loo, Iowa State athletic turf manager, doesn’t think this will be a problem for Lenz and Hansen. “Natural grass is what guys in the industry prefer and enjoy taking care of,” Van Loo said. Iowa State’s Department of Horticulture, developed in 1877, is one of the most tenured programs on campus. Horticulture is the science and art of producing and using food crops, fruits and vegetables, nursery crops, trees and turf grass. Van Loo said that Iowa State’s turf management

program leads the country in certain categories of research. “The turf program at Iowa State is a close-knit family where I can step into someone’s office and get some tips whenever I have a problem or an issue,” Hansen said. Lenz’s and Hansen’s focus is on the area of athletic turf management. Their job is to cut, paint and transform the natural grass of Jack Trice Stadium into a flawless playing surface. “The public sees Jack Trice Stadium on TV. They miss all of the science and all of the work and dedication that goes into making the field look good on Saturdays,” Adams said. With a laugh, Adams said that the worst part of the profession is watching athletes beat up on the turf

every single week. Van Loo is in charge of the turf at Jack Trice Stadium. He also serves as a mentor and teacher to Lenz and Hansen. Van Loo’s principal piece of advice for Lenz and Hansen as they depart for London is to use this trip to learn as much as they can. “I’ve encouraged Josh and Kevin to use this as a learning experience to take any kind of tips and tricks they can get,” Van Loo said. Hansen realizes the extensive amount of knowledge that will be available to him in London. This will be his second experience with members of the turf crew that he worked with at Super Bowl XLVII. “I’m still at the very beginning of my career, so I’m always trying to learn,” Hansen said. “I pick their brains as much as I can.”

Students speak out against college debt By Richard.Martinez @iowastatedaily.com Iowa is ranked sixth in the nation for having the highest average of students graduating with debt. Iowa State students alone may graduate with an amount upward of $30,000 in student loans. In response, a crowd gathered at noon on Oct. 22 in front of Parks Library to speak out against how student debt affects them personally. Evan Burger, a 2012 graduate in philosophy, led the crowd Wednesday in conjunction with a similar event at the University of Iowa. “I took part in this rally to protest the [Board of Regents] talking about increasing student tuition and making the student crisis worse,” Burger said. “Personally, I’m doing a lot of work around elections making sure student debt is an issue that’s being talked about.” Burger, an associate for the United States Student Association, organizes student-run events to encourage action in legislation that recognizes students

and graduates from Iowa universities. As the Board of Regents prepares to announce tuition policy for the coming year, student groups like Vote Mob Iowa and COGS, a graduate student union at the University of Iowa, ask the regents to support their demands for full funding of all three Iowa regent universities, reduction of administrative fees and another tuition freeze. Kaija Carter, a freshman in liberal studies at DMACC, participated in the rally after learning that potential tuition hikes may deter her from transferring to a four-year university. “Tuition hikes are scary. It almost feels like a death sentence for students,” Carter said. “Being out here and getting people to understand there are students willing to speak out against [debt] will hopefully empower others to know they’re not alone.” The Board of Regents has proposed fee rates for in-state undergraduate students to increase from $7,731 to $7,851 if approved. Non-resident tuition is also proposed to increase $238 per undergraduate.

ISU students gathered to speak out how post-graduation debt affects them in front of Parks Library at noon on Wednesday. The event was in conjunction with the Board of Regents announcing proposed tuition rates for the 2015-2016 academic year at the October meeting in Iowa City.

The board is scheduled to vote on these rates in December. “We are focusing on the Regents meeting to discuss tuition increases for the first time in two years,” said Jane Kersch, junior in global resource systems. “I have loans myself, and I don’t know what’s going to happen when I graduate, so I don’t want that uncertainty.” The Board of Regents is meeting continues today in Iowa City to discuss several agenda items on tuition policies and mandatory fees.

Some companies, such as Apple and Facebook, are now offering to pay for services to freeze the eggs of female employees so they can postpone starting a family.

Employment benefits shouldn’t include egg freezing By Madison.Ward @iowastatedaily.com

omen in the workforce has long been a controversial topic that has sparked many a debate and caused several laws and amendments to be passed in attempts to level the playing field. It has taken decades of women fighting tooth and nail to be treated equally to men in the workplace, and it has only been a few decades since it has even been socially acceptable. Even today men are still paid slightly higher simply because they are men. According to the American Association of University Women, women are paid only 77 percent of what men in the same position make. The reason for all this gender friction is very much up for debate, but one concrete fact is that women in the workplace have always had it rough. In the beginning it was the fight to even be allowed to work, and now it is a fight to juggle a home life and a work life. Well, two Silicon Valley conglomerates are taking care of that. Both Facebook and

Apple will be offering funds to female employees to freeze their eggs to postpone pregnancy and starting a family. Facebook recently began this practice and Apple will be initiating it on Jan. 1, 2015. On the surface this new benefit seems like an okay idea. Giving women more control over their career and offering help with expenses, especially since without this new benefit, it would cost around $10,000 per round of egg freezing, as reported by www.eggsurance.com, and on average it takes two rounds to gather enough eggs for a viable freeze. However, underneath, there is another message that could end up hurting a woman’s career. The technology industry is dominated by men and always has been. Google, for example, released statistics in May of this year showing that of their nearly 50,000 employees worldwide, only 30 percent of them are women. Needless to say, it takes a lot of work for a woman to exert any kind of authority over men when it comes to this particular industry. They have to be fully

committed to the company in order to move up to corporate ladder. But what happens when they want to have a family? As soon as a woman decides she wants to have a family, it comes off that her level of commitment to the company has gone down, thus reducing her potential for advancement. Could that be the underlying message of companies offering egg freezing? In the business world the formative years are in your late twenties and early thirties, but this is also the usual time people begin settling down and starting families. Due to this timing conflict, women have typically had to make the choice between a family and a career, and I suppose the goal with this new benefit is to eliminate that hard choice. However, it is also almost a nonverbal commitment to the company, and if you don’t nonverbally commit you could be telling the company you aren’t serious about your job, and in the end hurt your chances of ever being promoted or taking on more responsibilities. Aside from the obvi-

ous negatives in terms of a woman’s career, there are rather large physical and emotional risks as well. Freezing a woman’s eggs to extend the length of time a woman is fertile is still in its early years and does not guarantee a pregnancy beyond the prime fertile years. It has only been two years since the American Society for Reproductive Medicine lifted the label of “experimental” from this practice. The ASRM even tells women that they should not rely solely on egg freezing as a way of conceiving. All of this being said, it is a very real and unfortunate possibility that by accepting this new health care opportunity, a woman could potentially never conceive a child. This is especially true if a woman freezes her eggs too late or tries to conceive at a more advanced age. By companies now offering this new “benefit” they are blurring the lines between business and private lives. Essentially, it is giving your boss control over when you and your spouse begin a family and that is most certainly not in their job description.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Braley stresses education funds By Bruce Braley, ISU alumnus and U.S. senate candidiate As a student at Iowa State, I used federal student loans to help pay my way through college. I understand just how important Pell Grants and other federal student aid programs are, because without them, I wouldn’t have been able to afford a college education. A good education is a gateway to economic opportunity. In Iowa, more than 111,000 students received Pell Grants last year. Overall, students in Iowa received more than $1 billion in federal aid to help cover the cost of their education. Pell Grants, Stafford loans and federal work-studies are just a few of the programs that help hundreds of thousands of Iowa’s students afford a college education. Here at Iowa State, over 6,000 students received over $23 million in Pell Grants last year to help cover the costs of

tuition. Still, more work needs to be done. With tuition costs skyrocketing, college costs are putting the dream of an affordable education out of reach for too many students and families. I believe we must do everything possible to make college more affordable. That’s why I support expanding Pell Grants, extending the college tax credit to offset tuition costs for middle class families and keeping student interest rates and payments low. My opponent Joni Ernst also went to Iowa State and took advantage of federal student loans to help pay her way through college. But unlike me, she doesn’t believe that today’s students and families in Iowa should have the same access to federal student aid that she did. In fact, she has voiced her support for closing the doors to the Department of Education, which would have devastating consequences for Iowa’s students and families.

Eliminating the Department of Education would force Iowa students receiving Pell Grants to pay up to $5,730 more per year for college, drive students to take on thousands in debt through private lenders and slash federal work-study aid. Sen. Ernst also says that the federal government needs to get out of the student loan business. She would privatize student loans, putting student loans in the hands of private banks and lenders on Wall Street. If you have a private student loan, you know how much higher their interest rates can be — 16 percent or more, compared to just 4.6 percent for federal loans. Loading thousands of dollars more debt on the backs of graduates just to pad profits for Wall Street is not right for Iowa students. Sen. Ernst’s ideas have devastating consequences. In contrast, I’ve worked to reduce the burden of college costs. I will work to ensure that all of Iowa’s families have the same opportunities I had

to build their own American dream. A college education is a gateway to that dream, and it shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone. All too often, Congress looks out for the interests of the wealthy, the powerful and the well-connected instead of working families like the one I grew up in here in Iowa. Iowans deserve a senator who will stand up for you. I’ll be a senator on your side and break through the gridlock to work as a bridge builder, not a bridge burner. The choice in this election couldn’t be clearer, and voting early is the simplest and easiest way to make sure that your voice is heard. You can vote early in person or by mail from now until November 3rd. This weekend, Iowa State students can vote from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at the Hy-Vee located at 3800 Lincoln Way and at the Hy-Vee located at 640 Lincoln Way. For more information on voting early by mail and early vote locations, visit vote.brucebraley.com.

Be involved with current political races As election time approaches, students continue to hear the names Braley and Ernst all around campus. There has been plenty of talk for what each candidate stands for and how the election could change Iowa after Tom Harkin’s resignation. While this election is very important and will have a direct impact on Iowans, there is another election that will have an equal impact on the people of Iowa, and that is the race for governor. Terry Branstad (R.) has served as governor longer than any other governor in the United States. He began serving in 1983 and did four terms until 1999. In 2010 Branstad wanted to see a change in the way Iowa’s government was being run and entered the race for governor again. He won and is the current incumbent on the upcoming election for governor against Jack Hatch. Hatch (D.) has served in the Iowa House of Representatives and is the current chair of Senate Health and Human Services subcommittee. Hatch also serves on the Economic Growth, Human Resources, State Government, Labor and Business and Appropriations committees. Iowa politically is known for being an election hotspot because of the amount of swing voters that live in Iowa, however, Branstad being the longest serving governor in the country shows that when it comes to voting for governor, Iowa tends to lean to the right. College campuses, and young people in this country, tend to have a larger liberal population. Iowa State has strong support for both Republican and Democratic parties. We as students, but also as citizens of Iowa have a job to do, and that is to educate ourselves and vote. There are a lot of campaigns happening in Iowa right now. There is the race of a U.S. senator to take the place of Senator Tom Harkin, there is the race for governor, the race for U.S. Congress representatives and more. Just because the focus right now has been on Joni Ernst and Bruce Braley does not mean that we only need to pay attention to Iowa politics for the time being, but we are always evolving and always changing and we need to be always paying attention. Voting is one of the most important things we can do in our lifetimes. We have the abilities to decide who is making the largest decisions in this country. Every person has a voice, yet still so many people think they do not have enough information to use their voice. The answer is to educate yourself. We are in college because we are interested in pursuing an education. Why not make that education more well rounded by learning how our government works and learning how each candidate can represent us, the constituents. There is no more time for excuses when it comes to voting, and there is no better time than right now to learn and start to get involved politically. Americans are lucky enough to have the option to choose our government, and we are lucky enough to have the option to vote when there are many other countries around the world that do not have that option. Do not waste your rights. Vote.

Lack of efficiency plagues Cyclones By Max.Dible @iowastatedaily.com

garded as the most prominent defensive stat, as they indicate a defensive stop and allow for another offensive attack inside the same point. The prominence of these traditional statistical categories and their seemingly obvious correlation to victories makes the ISU lack of success that much more baffling. Johnson-Lynch explained the disconnect between the impressive traditional stats her team has amassed this year and why those numbers are not translating into wins. “If you can lead in hitting percentage, you are probably winning your conference,” JohnsonLynch said. “Hitting percentage is usually the best direct correlation to wins and losses.” Hitting percentage

Not all statistics are created equal. There is perhaps no better example of that maxim in collegiate volleyball in 2014 than the ISU volleyball team (10-7, 2-4 Big 12). Despite leading the conference in average kills per set at 14.03, average assists per set at 13.31 and average digs per set at 16.43, Iowa State still finds itself at 2-4 in Big 12 play and on the outside looking in at the top 25 national rankings. “Some categories matter more than others,” said ISU volleyball coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. Kills equal points. Assists lead directly to kills, which lead directly to points. Digs are generally re-

measures the number of attacks a team attempts against the number of attacks that find home on the opposite side of the net, which then lead to points on the scoreboard. Much the same as sports like basketball and baseball, the total statistical output of a volleyball team inside the lines of play matters far less than how efficiently that output is achieved. “We can kill the ball but it might take us too many rallies to kill that ball,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Our hitting percentage is a little bit low and we are allowing our opponents to hit too high. That is where I see the disconnect.” Advanced statistics that measure efficiency are sweeping the sports landscape at both collegiate and pro levels, which

Tech in five sets Oct. 18 - in which small improvements during a few crucial points of one particular set would likely have meant wins instead of losses. Junior right side hitter Mackenzie Bigbee said those abbreviated but paramount strings of points in matches are where the team has slipped, but also where it is focusing the majority of its efforts in practice. “A lot of times in those games we will make multiple errors,” Bigbee said. “We will hit a few too many balls out, miss a few too many serves and those are the difference-making plays.” The Cyclones must address their concerns quickly because at 2-4 with the halfway point of the conference schedule fast approaching, the margin for error is becoming smaller with every passing match.

State’s concerns are unforced errors, which are the natural enemy of efficient play in any sport. “We have so many opportunities, and we get the ball up so many times,” said sophomore outside hitter Ciara Capezio. “Yet, over and over again with those long rallies, we tend to make errors.” The errors are not player or position specific, which means they are an issue permeating the entirety of the ISU team, as Johnson-Lynch explained. “It is not just one person. You come at it from a lot of different angles,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Some of it is ball handling. If you pass the ball to the setter in a good spot, she can run a better offense. Some of it is setting - making sure our setters understand who to set in what situation. Some of it is attack decisions.” Iowa State’s 2-4 record is not indicative of the potential the team has. Iowa State has lost two matches - one in four sets at Texas Christian early in the season and another at Texas

is changing the way coaches and teams are approaching the game. That notion was evidenced perfectly by Johnson-Lynch as she explained which statistical categories actually have the greatest affect on the outcome of a match. “The categories that matter a lot are going to be hitting percentage, service aces and blocks per game,” Johnson-Lynch said. Iowa State is seventh in hitting percentage at .220 and sixth in opposing hitting percentage at .200. The Cyclones are also sixth in service aces, scoring 1.16 per set, and stand at seventh in blocks, tallying 2.13 per set. Consequently, Iowa State currently occupies a tie for sixth in the Big 12 standings with West Virginia. The silver lining of the disappointing results thus far for the Cyclones is that they know exactly why they are struggling and they have nine conference matches left to correct their issues.

‘Whose Line Is It Anyway?’ comedy duo to perform at Iowa State By Melissa.Garrett @iowastatedaily.com With their hilarious custommade comedy show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” comedians Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood will perform at 7:30 p.m. Sunday at Stephens Auditorium. For 11 years, Mochrie and Sherwood’s duo have performed live in addition to their taped performances of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” where the comedians will stop at nothing to make people laugh. Whether performing on “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” or in their two-man group, Sherwood calls himself and Mochrie “stage hogs” since they love to be on stage. “We were doing bigger shows with the gang of “Whose Line,” but we only did a couple of shows a year in Vegas, and it was kind of a fun stage,” Sherwood said. “You would do a game and sit on the bench for two or three games, and then you get up and do another game.” In a two-hour show, Sherwood said he might only be in 15 minutes, so he and Mochrie tried to figure out a way they could perform on stage more often. Even though Sherwood wanted to be an actor when he was eight years old, he liked being funny and was better at making people laugh.

“The moment you make someone laugh, you’re onto the next moment of ‘Oh my gosh, what am I going to do right now?’ Every moment you are just in crisis mode, willing to do whatever it takes to make someone laugh,” Sherwood said. “Short of nudity, I think all the guys on the show would be pretty much willing to go anywhere to be silly and ridiculous.” With a live comedy performance there is no way to prepare for each scenario. Each new audience offers something unique to the show, and Sherwood said he often does not remember what he says or does on a particular show. Opening night jitters are part of the performance since Mochrie and Sherwood have to create new scenes, songs and scenarios every night. “The sense of humor for the show is kind of goofy. I think it appeals to the kid in everyone. It’s not like childish humor, but it’s humor that adults like to see us being witty and stupid at the same time,” Sherwood said. After performing hundreds of shows, Sherwood never says the same thing twice, apart from when he and the other comedians introduce themselves on the show. “The content of the game is always different, so we get to do something fresh and different every single night,” said Sherwood. “We get to make people laugh and

perform in front of a live audience. I would say this is definitely my dream job.” One of the most challenging things Sherwood created on the show was a song made up of “a lot of things that rhymed with Niroshi.” “Well that’s the fun,” Sherwood said. “People make me do that song, and everybody goes, ‘Oh my God. Nothing rhymes with that!’ and ‘What are you going to do?’ They laugh at the way I paddle my way out of that problem.” As a show that people of all ages can enjoy, Angela Ossian, director of marketing for the Iowa State Center and Performing Arts Series, recommends Mochrie and Sherwood’s show to anyone looking to laugh for 90 minutes. “Their unscripted performance, quick wit, plus the fun of audience participation will make for a very entertaining evening,” Ossian said. “Even if you’ve never seen their show, “Whose Line Is It Anyway?,” Colin and Brad will not disappoint.” Tickets are available for purchase through Ticketmaster and at the Stephens Auditorium ticket office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Friday with student tickets at $26. For more information on Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood’s comedy show and ticket prices, visit the Iowa State Center’s webpage.

These bow ties are more than a fashion statement. Kammermeier owned his own business this summer, Better Men Bow Ties, and earned a little less than $500 in just one month and Tjaden’s favorite bow tie comes from the previous assistant director of enrollment services at Iowa State.

BOW TIES p1 The majority of Tjaden’s bow ties include patterns such as stripes, paisley and polka dots. He also likes collecting bow ties from different parts of the world. He has bow ties from London, China and Spain. He calls one special tie his “late night bow tie.” It has four different sides of blue, orange, pink and green stripes. “At night...I’ll switch the colors and see if anyone notices,” Tjaden said. In addition to his patterned bow ties, Kammermeier likes to collect conversational bow ties. A bow tie that makes a statement, similar to the one he was wearing at the time of the interview, which featured flying pigs. The two prefer wearing bow ties to neck ties because bow ties are less intimidating and more laid back. The fun patterns on

GSB p1 news that students do not already know about, the news that they want and need to hear and that it keeps the campus connected. Lawrence Cunningham, general manager for the Iowa State Daily, told GSB that the additional $30,000 in funding is necessary because of the changing platforms for jour-

bow ties are hard to pull off with neck ties. Patterns on neck ties could look overwhelming and ridiculous, but they said bow ties can get away with patterns because they’re small. Their signature style has received a lot of attention. When people ask them why they wear bow ties, they ask the question, “Why not?” And when they’re seen wearing a regular neck tie, a rare occasion, friends ask, “What’s wrong?” A good friend of theirs, Matt Brueggen, senior in finance, also wears bow ties as a unique accessory for different events. And if there is a formal dinner, bow ties are the king, Kammermeier said. “You’re not the guy who’s going to tuck it [the tie] into his shirt or flip it over his shoulder,” he said. Over the past few years, bow ties have become more mainstream and popular with the younger crowd,

Brueggen said. “It’s classic looking and something that’s more rare like actually knowing how to tie one,” he said. The bow tie guys used YouTube videos in order to learn to tie the neckwear. It can seem difficult and usually takes around an hour to master, but once learned, bow ties can be easier to tie than a windsor knot, Kammermeier said. Each bow tie in their collection has a background meaning. Tjaden’s favorite bow tie is from Vern Hawkins, the previous assistant director of enrollment services at Iowa State. Hawkins retired after 40 years at Iowa State, and on his last day gave Tjaden his rare and old Iowa State bow tie. Tjaden won’t lend it out to many people, except for Jeff Johnson, president of the Alumni Association, who asked him to borrow it. Hawkins knew Tjaden would appreciate the bow

tie and take good care of it, Tjaden said. They can also be helpful during interviews, Kammermeier said. In one interview he spent 15 minutes just talking about bow ties. “In an interview, how do you want to be remembered?” Tjaden asked. “As the seven other guys who wore ties? Or that one guy with a bow tie.” People sometimes get nervous to wear them for no reason, but you’ll always get compliments for wearing one the first time, they said. “It’s more fun, but I think if you’re going to wear one just be ready to answer why you’re wearing one,” Kammermeier said. Many people will ask that question, because it’s a unique accessory. Everyone wears a tie, so be adventurous, Tjaden said. “Yeah,” Kammermeier said. “Choose your adventure.”

nalism. The Daily is now structuring news to be on multiple platforms: print, web and mobile app that are updated 24 hours a day. Within three years, Cunningham said the Daily plans to fix deficient sales caused in part by a lawsuit with the Ames Tribune in the 1990s. The lawsuit declared the Daily as unfair competition and required distribution to stay within the parts of Ames

that are concentrated with students. Because of this inability to distribute throughout the city, advertising becomes less appealing to businesses. Cunningham said the money would help fund the multiple platforms that are being created. He also said the Daily understands that it has not served readers as it well as it should have in the past. The $30,000 contract

with GSB includes performance metrics. The Daily receives a certain amount of money if it meets each different requirement in the contract. Metrics include reader satisfaction polls, mandatory training, consistent coverage and obtained revenue goals. GSB also funded student groups Up ‘till Dawn and the Puerto Rican Students Association for upcoming events.

India. “If you just walk through a street on Diwali, all you can see is light. It’s the most brightened up night of the year,” said Bhakti Bansode, who lives in Ames with her husband while he attends Iowa State. “Everywhere you see light. There’s not a single portion of the country where you’ll see dark on that day,” Singhal said. “We usually do some kind of puja, or prayer, as well to ask for the goddess Lakshmi to come into our homes.” Lakshmi is the goddess of prosperity and wealth. “It also depends on

which part of India you live in to decide which deity you worship,” Singhal said. During Dilwali, it is traditional to gather with family and friends and place diyas throughout the house, cook traditional foods and sweets and light firecrackers. “As usual, food is very important.
