Law increases legal limit on alcoholic content By Morgan.Shepherd and Mackenzie.Nading @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa beer lovers are going to start noticing more taste in their local brews. On March 2010, former Iowa Gov. Chet Culver signed a bill into law changing the legal limit on alcoholic content in beer from 5 percent to 15 percent. This new legislation allows breweries to apply for a new license that allows them to create beer with higher alcohol content. The bill also allows for wholesalers to purchase and sell beer with the higher alcohol content after purchasing a new
license. Although this law was changed more than a year ago, both customers and the economy are just starting to notice the effects. “The law allows me to be more creative; I’m definitely excited,” said Olde Main Brewing Co.’s Brewmaster Jeff Irvin. “Before, there were about 30 percent of beer styles that Iowa brewers were limited to. Now there’s more room for experimentation. The law allows us to bring more products to the market, which will draw more customers. Brewing more locally will help businesses.”

LAS Dean:
Boggess to speak at open forum By Katelynn McCollough Daily staff writer Albert Boggess has been named a finalist for the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Science. Boggess received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas in 1975, followed by his doctorate degree in mathematics from Rice University in 1979. In 1982, Boggess began his career at Texas A&M University. He has been head of the mathematics department there for the last nine years. His research focuses on overdetermined systems of partial differential equations, complex variables and harmonic analysis. As a finalist for the open position of dean of the College of LAS, Boggess feels Iowa State will be a good fit because of its strong land-grand traditions and its balanced initiatives. He believes his experience as the head of the mathematics department at Texas A&M has prepared him to step up into the position of dean. Boggess wants to shorten the time it takes for students to receive their degree and make sure the advising for ISU students remains at a high quality. Boggess will be on campus Monday. There will be an open forum starting at 3:30 p.m. in 1951 Food Sciences. Students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to ask him questions. The other four dean finalists will be on campus in the following weeks.

States race for No. 1 spot in process Nevada Republican Party votes to move caucus date back
By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com A week removed from what was described by its coach as the poorest game — a 52-17 loss to Missouri — in the past three years, the ISU football team regrouped to prevent another embarrassing loss. However, the improved play of the Cyclones (3-4, 0-4 Big 12) was not enough Saturday. In its 99th Homecoming game, Iowa State fell 33-17 to No. 17 Texas A&M.

TAKING A STAND: Occupiers continue protest Community members gather Saturday on Lincoln Way as a part of the Occupy Ames movement. The group continued its protests after being in downtown Ames on Friday.
The Nevada Republican Party voted Saturday to move its Jan. 14 caucus date to Feb. 4. Traditionally, the process for choosing a Republican presidential nominee had been the primary system with Iowa as the first in the nation caucus and New Hampshire, a few days later, with the first in the nation primary, both taking place in early February. However, that tradition fell apart this year when the Florida Republican Party set its primary date to Jan. 31 in an attempt to make its state more important in the nomination process. This caused a slew of other states to move up their caucuses and primaries, with Nevada being the earliest at Jan. 14. This unprecedented move caused party leadership backlash and a general condemnation of the state parties by the national leadership. Unwilling to give up
its first in the nation status, the Iowa Republican Party recently moved its caucus to Jan. 3, and, in turn, has put New Hampshire, the first in the nation primary, in a difficult spot. New Hampshire state law requires that there be a week between its primary and the next state’s primary or caucus. “States want to be early in the presidential primaries for two reasons,” said David Peterson, professor of political science at Iowa State. “First, your state is guaranteed to matter ... more attention, visits, etc. And second, money. Candidates come and spend money in the state through TV ads, T-shirts and others.” If New Hampshire moves ahead with a December primary date, Iowa may lose a lot of attention and money from perennial Republican presidential candidates who will refocus their efforts on winning New

Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition
GOP candidates battle for conservative support By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com Abortion, gay marriage, energy and Barack Obama are four topics at the top of the agenda for the Republican Party’s prospective 2012 presidential candidates, and on Saturday in Des Moines, those topics were brought to the forefront at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Fall Banquet and Presidential Forum. Hosted at the Paul P. Knapp Learning Center at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, the event brought in hundreds of conservative evangelical voters from around the state to see presidential candidates Herman Cain, Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum give speeches and answer questions concerning abortion, gay marriage, energy and the Republican base’s favorite punching bag, Barack Obama. The enthusiasm of the attendees was rivaled for a while by a small group of protesters affiliated with the Occupy Wall Street movement chanting and holding up signs such as “We are the 99%” as people walked into the building. “We are here backing the Occupy Des Moines people because we are disgusted with the way the financial sector tanked our economy,” said protester David Leonard. “[The Republicans] only care about helping the rich get richer and refuse to raise taxes on them.” By the time the majority of the attendees had checked in and the buffet lines had opened up, the presidential candidates

began to trickle into the building one by one, smiling, talking to reporters and shaking hands with every willing person. When asked how he intends to court college voters, Texas Congressman Paul said, “My message of personal liberty is very appealing to college students ... and we have very large crowds that turn out from colleges because they understand that they are inheriting a mess.” Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House went into more detail on the same question by mentioning his plan for a personal Social Security plan and many other initiatives he claims will essentially give everyone more control over their lives. “Every standard will be better for young Americans,” Gingrich said.
Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily People protest before the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Fall Banquet and Presidential Forum on Saturday in Des Moines.
At around 6 p.m., after the candidates and guests were seated, conservative political activist and founder of the Faith and Freedom Coalition Ralph Reed Jr. gave an opening speech welcoming the guests and the presidential candi-
dates as well as expressing the views and grievances of the Faith and Freedom Coalition and its evangelical Christian members in Iowa. “Iowa should continue to go first in choosing our president,” Reed said. “Forty-four
percent of [Republican] voters are self-identified evangelicals ... We believe that marriage be defined as a sacred union between a man and a woman.” This speech brought a thundering applause from those listening and served as a launching pad for the next speaker Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee. “I’m not here because I am concerned with the future of the Republican Party, I am here because I am concerned with the future of this country,” Priebus said. “It’s a battle between government’s insatiable appetite to grow and freedom ... do you want to have a country of makers or a country of takers?” Once again, the speech was well-received by the conservative audience and allowed for an easy transition into the presidential forum in which each candidate would give a short speech and then answer a few questions from moderators. Cain, former Godfather’s Pizza CEO and the rising star of the Republican candidates, was first to speak to the audience. “At the rate we are going, we will eventually be telling our grandkids what the United States used to be like,” Cain said. “This is a fight for freedom and the United States has protected that freedom since its inception ... There is one strength you never hear mentioned and this is America’s ability to change, and we need to change the occupant of the White House.” After Cain was led off the stage, Minnesota Congresswoman Bachmann
was the next to speak. Bachmann, a tea party favorite, is known for being one of the staunchest critics of Obama and continued her critical rhetoric throughout her speech as well as highlighting her conservative credentials toward gay marriage and her unwaivering support for Israel, a common rallying cause for conservative Evangelicals. “People have made up their minds,” she said. “Barack Obama won’t have a second term ... this is the year social conservatives can have it all.” Following Bachmann, Texas Gov. and presidential frontrunner Perry addressed the audience and spoke of how his humble, Christian beginnings in Texas shaped his view on abortion and gay marriage. “We must protect our innocent and unborn children,” Perry said. “I was proud to defund Planned Parenthood in Texas ... And when it comes to faith, it is the core of who I am.” Following Perry, the final three candidates, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum, gave similar speeches to the previous speakers, but to a less momentous applause mostly because of their low polling numbers throughout Iowa and the nation.

CyRide
Board of Trustees approves solution to raise passenger fares By Caroline.Havekost @iowastatedaily.com A solution has been reached on the further funding of CyRide after a budget shortfall.
The Daily reported in June that due to an increase in fuel prices, more money was needed to fund CyRide. The Ames Transit Agency is governed by a Board of Trustees consisting of six
members. At its meeting on Oct. 4, the board approved a solution to solve the budget shortfall due to the increase of fuel prices. Sheri Kyras, CyRide transit director, said a lot of planning,
time and consideration went into reaching the best solution. The board decided to increase passenger fare by 25 cents, which makes it $1.25 a ride. The Government of the

Student Body also will be contributing $76,000 to CyRide, instead of an alternate option discussed of raising student fees. “In April, we realized the impact high fuel prices would have on the next year,” Kyras said. “We then began discussing and getting public input on how to plug the budget gap.” Meetings began in June to work through what was best for the Ames community and Iowa State. Research also was conducted on other transit systems around the nation similar to CyRide to see plans already put into place. In August, further information was brought to the board and more meetings were held in September. Kyras stated how impor-
tant student input is on this issue, and how it was necessary for some meetings to take place while school was in session to gain more input from students. Finally, with all of the information gathered from other institutions and communities, input from students and the public, the board was able to look at what was best for the community of Ames. Warren Madden, ISU vice president of business and finance and one of the six members of the Board of Trustees, supports the solution. “I support the increase rather than make additional changes, reducing services or routes,” Madden said. “The fare is consistent with many bus systems around the country.”

Greek community
Chapters to relive trick-or-treating excitement
By Mary-Kate Burkert @iowastatedaily.com
Greek Trick-or-Treat is an annual event sponsored by the ISU greek community. This year the event takes place from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday on Sorority Circle. All Collegiate Panhellenic Council sorority and Interfraternity Council fraternity chapters participate in the event by sending three delegates per chapter to help donate candy. “Hosting chapters are lo-
cated on Sorority Circle and are asked to house the chapter delegates, sponsor games, hand out candy and decorate for the Halloween season,” said Shannon Cooper, Collegiate Panhellenic Council vice president of philanthropy and community service. “Also, in Greek Triangle we will be offering hot cider, hot chocolate and cookies to all attendees.” This event invites all children in the Ames community who are primary aged and younger to attend. “I love this event because
it offers children a safe, warm and dry place to trick or treat and get lots of candy without having to walk all over a neighborhood,” Cooper said. “I also think it is more fun because it offers games rather than just going up to the door and receiving candy.” Former volunteers of the Greek Trick-or-Treat event look forward to its arrival each October because of its festivity and individuality. “This volunteer opportunity is unique because it includes a wide range of ages and has a
holiday spin on it,” said Elise Quam, Collegiate Panhellenic Council vice president of scholarship. “Not only do the greek volunteers get to relive the excitement of trick-ortreating, but they also get to interact with the young children of the Ames community as well as their families. “My favorite part was walking through all of the hosting chapter houses to see their decorations and creative costumes. It’s also cool to bring back a childhood favorite activity to a college campus.”
The event benefits both the children and college students alike. “Last fall I dressed up as a vintage football player and handed out candy to what seemed like hundreds of children at Sigma Pi fraternity,” said Lauren Nissen, a previous Greek Trick-or-Treat volunteer. “It was so entertaining, and I don’t think greek communities are ever pictured in situations like that in which groups of college students are putting time aside just to make a holiday extra special for
children.” Nissen added that the event didn’t seem like work at all to her, but instead an evening full of fun with deserving kids. Greek Trick-or-Treat is focused on the local children and “welcomes them and their families into our chapters to show them how much we care about being a part of the Ames community,” said Ryan Helling, vice president of community service and philanthropy for the Interfraternity Council.
United Way of Story County
ISU officials challenge campus to exceed fundraising goal By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com Each year, the United Way sets a monetary goal to be raised to aid the local community. This year, that goal has been set at $1,675,000 for Story County. Iowa State is set to raise $320,000 of that goal, but some believe the students, faculty and staff can do better. Thomas Hill, vice president of student affairs, and Jonathan Wickert, dean of the College of Engineering, have challenged the university to raise $350,000, $30,000 more
than the initial goal. If this goal is met, the two have agreed to dye their hair cardinal and gold. Hill is committed to getting students and faculty to contribute to the United Way efforts because he says it gives them “... a sense of being a part of a community and contributing to that community. We sometimes forget how fortunate we are, not everybody is in that position. The students at Iowa State are responsible for raising $5,000 of the $320,000 goal. The rest has been split up
amongst the departments and other areas of Iowa State. “With a lot of charities, you may never see the direct impact of your contributions, but by giving to the United Way, you know you’re helping people in our area. So that is a really good feeling,” said Chris Harre, sophomore in civil engineering. Harre lives in Friley Hall as a part of Dodds house. Each year, Friley has a competition called Penny Wars to help raise money for the United Way. Each house competes to raise the most money to donate.
This year Friley raised $2,538, with Dodds house winning the competition for the second year in a row. “It’s a healthy competition,” said Richard Pfarrer, Friley residence hall coordinator. “It’s good to see [students] giving back to their community.” Pfarrer plans to continue the Penny Wars in the future with a goal of a $1 donation per resident. Kristin Pates, campaign director for the United Way of Story County, believes the reason so many students and faculty at Iowa State are will-
ing to donate is because all of the money stays in the local area. “That’s really important because people want to give to something that will help their neighbors,” she said. So far, Iowa State has raised $197,225 of the set goal, and all of Story County has raised around $900,000 of the full goal. “Every year’s a different year, but we’re feeling good about things so far. We’ve always had a really good relationship with Iowa State,” said Pates, who added that money from the university
comes from multiple fundraisers within the residence halls, faculty and staff donations, the greek community’s pizza sales, as well as other donating opportunities on campus. Iowa State has until the beginning of December to reach either the $320,000 goal or to go the extra mile and raise the $350,000 set by Hill and Wickert. For students interested in donating or coming up with their own fundraiser for the United Way, Pates suggested that they talk with their CA or residence hall directors.

7-3 lead in front of the 51,131 fans in attendance. “They were playing a little differently than they were showing on tape,” said Klein A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill. “We still had the right play calls, we just weren’t making the plays.” However, lapses in the play of the defense in the second half ultimately Lenz proved costly for an ISU squad that came into the game deadlast in run defense in the Big 12. “We practiced hard during the week on the run and emReeves phasizing the run,” said junior linebacker A.J. Klein. “[They have] two explosive backs. They both get the same amount of carries and limiting them was the main part of our game plan.” Christine Michael led the rushing attack for the Aggies, amassing a game-high 142 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries. Complementing Michael was Cyrus Gray, who rushed for 125 yards on 21 carries. “I think they made some adjustments,” Klein said of the A&M offense. “They started cutting back the ball earlier than we expected. From what we’d seen on film, we knew they were going to cut it back, it’s just [about] flowing to the ball. “They made it hard by spreading out the offense and made us run a long way to get to the running backs.” Klein tied for a game-high 10 total tackles with cornerback Jeremy Reeves and linebacker Matt Tau’fo’ou. That figure is a career-high for
Hampshire, which can often set a precedent for other states to vote. Not only that, Iowa benefits financially from the first in the nation status. “It is in the financial interest of the state to be early in the caucus season ... both parties would agree on that,” Peterson said. Party leaders have threatened to withhold Nevada delegates to the Republican National Convention if they do not change their caucus date. But, in the end, these threats appear hollow because the national party has very limited binding power. “The clear aim of Nevada moving up its caucus is for the West to have a say in the nomination process,” said James McCormick, chairman of the department of political science. Midwestern and East Coast states have historically dominated the early stages of the nomination process. Therefore, they have had strong influence over who is the Republican presidential nominee before the Western states even vote. If Nevada backs off and moves its caucus to the suggested date of Feb. 4, party leaders will demonstrate they still have control over the presidential primary calendar. But, if Nevada Republicans decide to keep Jan. 14, it could launch a political snowball with New Hampshire possibly moving its primary to December. “I think ultimately New Hampshire will move behind Iowa ... it is possible for them to sneak in there,” McCormick said.

Tau’fo’ou and ties a career-high for Reeves. The defense tied a season-high in sacks with three — with defensive linemen Jacob Lattimer, Jake McDonough and Patrick Neal all getting the stops — against an A&M team that had allowed only three sacks all season coming into the game. “I challenged coach [Wally] Burnham’s staff to bring more pressure when we needed to, we didn’t get that pressure with blitzes and zone blitzes only,” Rhoads said. “I thought our guys played extremely hard tonight, I thought that showed. I thought we played fast and it was good to see that pressure.” For the offense, ISU quarterback Steele Jantz continued his lackluster play in the first two series of the game, throwing an interception on his
first pass attempt and going 0-for-4 in completions. After those two series, redshirt freshman Jared Barnett was put into the game against an Aggie defense that led the nation in sacks coming into the game with 26. “He wanted to run around a lot, so we had to end up spying him,” said A&M linebacker Sean Porter of Barnett. “He’s a pretty good quarterback for a freshman. They were out there doing some good things.” Barnett’s favorite target of the day was junior Josh Lenz, who registered a career-high in both receptions (eight) and receiving yards (117). “He’s had a very steady and solid junior year thus far and it gets to the point that that’s what you expect,” Rhoads said of Lenz. “It needs to be what we expect to find success and it’s

good to see.” As for the negatives, Rhoads said the offensive woes of his team still stem from a lack of execution. The Cyclones went 6-of-18 on third-down conversions with seven of the 12 missed conversions coming from plays needing less than 10 yards for a first down. “We left a lot of plays out there that we wish we could have back, but obviously you can’t go back and change those,” Lenz said. “So we’ve just got to work harder and practice on executing.” Texas A&M concludes its all-time series with Iowa State 10-1 in the last game between the two schools as conference opponents. Texas A&M will be leaving the Big 12 and joining the Southeastern Conference in July 2012.

Conference recognizes innovators There are no rock stars at PopTech, no household names. But this annual conference in coastal Maine is a hub for supersmart people, a chance to get a look into ideas and technologies that soon will change the world.
Daniel Kish, ‘real-life batman’ Kish, who founded World Access for the Blind, sees the world with his ears. A self-described “batman,” Kish, who is blind, makes clicking sounds with his tongue when he walks the streets or goes hiking in the woods. He listens for those sounds to bounce off the objects around him and uses that data to construct a mental image of the scene. He has taught these methods of human echolocation to about 500 students on several continents. With his help, these blind students have learned to ride bikes through obstacle courses and achieve greater independence.
Adrien Treuille, game designer For most, gaming is a form of entertainment. For Treuille, a computer scientist at Carnegie Mellon University, games can help solve real-world problems. Treuille is the creator of FoldIt, a computer game that has helped solve long-standing puzzles about protein folding. The work of FoldIt is even helping to enhance science’s understanding of HIV. His new game, called EteRNA, does the same thing for RNA sequencing. Most important about these games, he says, is the fact that they’re fun.
Dominic Muren, ‘maker’ culture advocate In the Western world, if you want an Internet connection, you buy a router. No one knows much about these processes — no one except “makers” like Dominic Muren, who is creating a website to connect people who make things in the developing world with other people on the Internet who might be able to help. The site, called alchematter.com, is expected to launch next summer. It will be yet another portal into a growing trend: People want to know where things come from and how they’re produced.
Iain D. Couzin, the locust whisperer Why do fish swim in schools? Why do locusts fly in swarms? Iain Couzin, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton University, is trying to understand how and why organisms function as a collective rather than individuals. He’s using new methods, from computer vision to Xbox Kinect cameras, to get at the answers. It turns out, for example, that locusts swarm not because they love flying in giant clumps, but because they’re trying to eat each other — and avoid being eaten by other locusts.

‘Outlandish’ goods abound By Morgan.Shepherd @iowastatedaily.com
As Halloween approaches, students find themselves hunting for costume ideas that are both creative and stand out. Ames’ new resale and costume shop, Random Goods, gives shoppers a fun shopping experience and supplies one-of-a-kind, attention-stealing costumes. Random Goods sells an eclectic variety of things including vintage items, accessories, prepackaged costumes and everything in between. “We sell some new, some used and some downright ridiculous things,” said co-owner Tim Gleason. The store provides a wide variety of clothing, including American flag pants, fur coats, custommade suits, glitter dresses, leather jackets, ISU apparel, feather boas and even a zebra-print coat. “We want to provide a fun atmosphere. Our store is trying to be more than the average costume shop with just ready-made costumes; we’re going for the theatrics. Our niche is being a place where someone can create their own costume. We have

some pretty outlandish stuff,” said Gleason as he held up adult Tweety Bird footie pajamas. Adding to the fun environment are special features like dressing up while singing karaoke for discounts and bringing in a “costume expert” for the Halloween season. “Lynn Lloyd, who does costuming for Ames Community Theater, will be here the week of Halloween,” Gleason said. “She has a knack for looking at a person and being able to tell what they would look good as or what they should put into their costumes.” Lloyd, who owned Ridiculous Rags

Consignment Shop for 15 years, has a passion for costuming and enjoys helping others find the perfect outfit. “It’s something I love to do. There are so many fabulous things at Random Goods,” Lloyd said. “I think the best thing about finding a costume at a place like this is the fact that it is all real clothing, not prepackaged. I’m excited to help out in the store and more excited to see what costumes are popular this year.”

Site makes hunting for bargains easier DormDumpster promotes trading By Mackenzie.Nading @iowastatedaily.com Everyone loves finding a good deal, but the hunt for that perfect item can be time-consuming and frustrating. Today, the Internet and online shopping make bargain hunting even easier. But what if you could also eliminate the shipping cost of those bargains and pick them up right here on campus?

>>BREWING.p1 This wasn’t the first time legislation was proposed to increase the alcoholic content in beers distributed in the state. This time, local businesses advocated through the Iowa Wholesale Beer Distributors Association. Luxury beers tend to have higher alcohol content and local breweries could not brew them, making Iowa customers dependent on breweries outside of the state. Local breweries like Peace Tree Brewery in Knoxville, Iowa, are also in favor of this new law that seems to give the business a competitive edge against bigger breweries. “Other breweries outside Iowa were able to brew beers with higher alcohol content that we weren’t. Now we are able to compete and do

We hope to work together with customers to increase business and on a greater scale, create more jobs within our brewery.” Peace Tree has starting creating several new brews, and Olde Main plans on experimenting more when space opens up in the brewery. “We’ve created a few new beers and they were highly successful,” Irvin said. “We would love to do bigger styles as soon as we have the storage

Editorial
Remember continued Iraq mission Our military mission in Iraq is drawing to a close, we learned last week from President Barack Obama. After eight and a half years in the Mesopotamian desert, our military men and women who have served there hopefully will be home by Christmas. For their service, we thank them. And for completing the withdrawal, we thank Obama’s administration (even though George W. Bush claimed “Mission Accomplished” back in May 2003). The war in Iraq has been one of our longest conflicts, and holds second place only to Vietnam as the most divisive foreign conflict in our history. Think about what you were doing eight years ago. Think about the highlights of your day. Many, if not most, of you were still in middle school. The withdrawal marks the end of a chapter in American history and culture brought on by the attacks of Sept. 11. No candidate can campaign on the issue of Iraq during this election cycle. In 2004, the Democratic candidates slammed President Bush time and again for getting us into what was then seen as a quagmire. In 2008, the Democratic candidates did it again, and Sen. John McCain had a difficult time shaking the accusation that his presidency would simply be a repeat of Bush’s policies. It may be about time that our military involvement in Iraq comes to a close, but we cannot forget our continued mission there. We cannot forget that country we established, that political system, in coping with our own woes. Eliminating a regional power broker is no easy task, but restoring it to that position is also a difficult one, and the Middle East is far too volatile a place to be left to its own devices. Answering the “What if?”s of history is not our goal, but imagine what would have happened if, having won the Second World War, we abandoned Germany and Japan to the rest of the international community’s designs. To keep Iraq in perspective, remember that we have tens of thousands of soldiers still stationed in Germany and Japan. Perhaps, like Great Britain a century ago, we should seek to ensure both our own power and world stability by influencing key areas of the world. Britain controlled the Straits of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal and the Cape of Good Hope. Maybe America should support stable democratic systems such as Germany, Japan, Israel and Iraq as alternatives to countries dominated by violent factions or terrorist groups. That support, though, does not need to be martial. Other methods exist, and we should take the withdrawal’s offer of an opportunity to learn about them. Editorial Board

Caucuses
[Insert Photo Here] Early date excludes future
P
art of my job as Opinion Editor is making sure this page has good content. Another big part of it is making sure that content is paired with art that will make it look good. You may have noticed that in the past couple weeks columns about the timing of the Iowa caucuses this winter have appeared. The art of them has sucked. Really. To the extent that it exists at all, it’s just inadequate. The art we’ve run with the caucus columns is of candidates speaking, not caucus-goers caucusing. (This isn’t the photo editors’ fault. They’re great at their job.) If you went (I know, people my age were seniors in high school and probably didn’t care a fig), you saw lots of enthusiastic supporters trying to convince other caucus-goers to switch candidates. On the Democratic side, you’d even see huge discussions of viability — whether supporters of candidates likely to lose should support other candidates so they could continue to participate in the nomination process. None of the art we have shows that. None of the art we have portrays people as participators in politics. Photos of candidates speaking are nice, but they only feed the beast that is everyone’s conception of politics: that people receive politics instead of doing it for themselves. Why don’t we have art for these columns? Here it is: They were during Winter Break. Nobody was around to cover them. And now they’ll be during
By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com Winter Break again. I meant it when I wrote for the Editorial Board that Jan. 3 caucuses are a horrible idea. I still mean it when I say it here: Holding the caucuses on Jan. 3 is a horrible idea. College students are already a demographic who care little about politics. To the extent that we do, we’re often content to bitch and moan about how bad things are, about how much things need to change, but we never know where to begin. How many of you know how to find out the city council agenda? How many of you know who your representatives in the state legislature are? In my experience, the best way to begin participating in politics is to participate in politics. It may sound like a circular problem, but it is. You’ll never know the answers to the questions you don’t ask. The people with those answers are unable to divine what questions you have and probably don’t have the time to either. Holding party caucuses while those students are already away does nothing to improve their participation level. How do you, Republicans, expect young people to start voting for conservative candidates if your party nomination process occurs at a time when
those young people are absent? If young people are truly the future — if we’re to believe politicians who say that — then party officials and politicians should start taking them into account when they schedule their meetings. I remember going with the College Republicans to the Republican Party of Iowa’s nominating convention in the summer of 2010. Despite offering our services and network of energetic youngsters to the party, it appeared we were forgotten about. Apparently they forgot that youths not yet tied down in their lives are more mobile, more active and can more easily endure extremes of cold and heat than the old guard. History shows that the easiest way to make people work for you is to identify their interests with yours, or with those of your group. “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country,” right? If students see themselves as rejected or left out or forgotten by their party, why would they not seek acceptance and involvement elsewhere? I’m a Republican, and I went to caucus in 2008. I’ll do so again this winter, in all likelihood. But I doubt very much that many of my Republican peers will do so. As you may have noticed, politics is kind of my thing. I’m also paid to have an opinion on basically everything. There is absolutely no reason for the Republican Party of Iowa to assume I’m a typical Republican college student. There is no reason for
them to assume my Republican friends going to caucus are typical. Overwhelmingly, they are the individuals who have worked on campaigns, if not actually in politics. Overwhelmingly, they are the ones who go door-knocking and literature-dropping. When students see results from their participation, they’ll participate even more. Being young doesn’t mean you have bad ideas. It just means you have a different perspective. Often, that perspective is valuable. It can be bolder, fresher than the same old dogmas of past generations that are taken for granted. The GOP’s candidates for president relentlessly champion President Ronald Reagan as their model. Sure, he can be inspiring and his rhetoric of individual responsibility can be engaging. But Reagan was our oldest president. Aged 69 when he took office, he was an old man for the entirety of his presidency, which ended before this year’s college seniors were born. His ideas shouldn’t be accepted as true without discussion, without the input of the people who will have to live with the implementation of his policies for more decades than any other section of voters. Caucuses on Jan. 3 do nothing to achieve that discussion. Being first is useless if being first means excluding the future.

Agriculture
Growth, rebirth requires decay W
inter is settling across the country, and with it the lush green farms of the Midwest have turned into a dreary brown decay. Northern winds chill through empty fields, the sun no longer warms cool mornings and the days have grown darker. Our productive machines are parked in winter storage and farmers have withdrawn into their homes, turning the land into an empty tundra. I remember another time, when we had industry and production, when our lands were still lush, green and fruitful. As a child on a sod farm, I witnessed industry, growth and production. It was during a different season, one filled with fond morning memories, now so cold and dark, but once full of hope and warmth. The sun gave life and breath to the fields; crops reached up toward the light and seemed to grow endlessly. Those mornings’ progress seemed unstoppable. Activity rose and fell with the sun; it not only gave power and production to every crop, but it energized every form of life. In the morning, I was in awe of nature’s orchestras, artists and cultures. We conserved the greater forces around us and admitted power of authority. Everything was commanded by the laws of nature and the rising sun. Plants rose up, following the ascending star ever higher. As its rays became more powerful, their growth became more driven. Farmers actually had to thin their crops to keep productive plants from shading out one another. They tended to each field individually, protecting them from each other, keeping intruders out and encouraging their growth. Farmers were free to use the greatest machines and tools to troll through the fields, fertilizing the land to help the plants grow.
By Ryan.Peterson @iowastatedaily.com We were still concerned about the aggregate growth of the fields as well as achieving the greatest from each individual stalk. Farmers headed the greatest tools of industry and were trusted to peruse the aggregate interest of their fields. They steered straight and ensured the survival and production of all the various crops. A single plant had the power to produce unprecedented amounts, and together the fields were never more fruitful. However, these days, not a single stalk is allowed to produce, and with restrained stalks there’s little harvest. In the warm summers past, nothing was in need; the farmers were allowed to work and nature was free to ensure growth. Individually, each plant grew greatly, and together there was an immense abundance. I witnessed the nutriment of the land. The fields were in constant growth and crops demanded constant care. Without attention, weeds would invade, fields would overgrow and droughts would deprive the land. In this season, a winter drought has set in. Without the sun to warm the water locked in ice, there’s no stream to drink from. The land is locked in a cold frost, rending tillers and planters unable to penetrate the hardened soil. The vital life sustaining resources are frozen under tundra, preventing both the stalks and the farmers from accessing them. No tools
retain any effect. Without the sun, there can be no growth, and if farmers are locked indoors, there can be no production. Without good farmers in the fields, good plants are susceptible to weeds, especially in poor conditions. As the productive crops have perished, weeds have invaded and overgrown. Weeds don’t operate like normal plants; they don’t need the warmth of the sun nor abide the same laws of nature. Unlike civilized crops, they prosper in the worst conditions. They prosper when the land is dead and parched. They feed on the death of plans and immobilize the farmers; they clog the wheels and jam the machines. They perpetuate the problems of production we face in this particular winter. Productive crops grow and create industry; weeds strangle life and deprave the land. The green future is decaying in the winter winds. The fields are barren without farmers to tend to them. The machines are broken and the cold weather keeps us indoors and out of the fields. However, we’ve waited in bleaker winters, and nature has always taken her course. Weeds will die and decay, leaving fresh compost and fertility. As the sun sets, it will eventually rise and warm the fields of production. As it always has, water will again flow, and with it the fields will see another green day. While the farmers wait, nature is correcting herself and preparing for another season. Although some seasons are longer and colder than others, overtime growth will always return.

The start of a new era? By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com
CYCLONES SPLIT WEEKEND SERIES
Steele Jantz, it appears, has lost his chance. An era that had Cyclone fans buzzing and excited for the future likely came to an end Saturday in a 33-17 loss to then-No. 17 Texas A&M. After an 0-for-4, one-interception start, ISU coach Paul Rhoads pulled Jantz in favor of redshirt freshman Jared Barnett. “I think right now Jared Barnett will be our starter for next week, and I don’t foresee anything that will change that in my mind,” Rhoads said after the game. “I think he did a lot of good things. There are things he missed, I’m sure. There are things he accomplished that we haven’t been accomplishing. “I think overall he played pretty well against a defense that was hard to read and can give you a lot of fits with the different pressures that they bring.” Barnett was 16-for-36 passing for 180 yards and led a touchdown drive on his first series in the game, capped off by a 19-yard touchdown run by James White. He started 6-of-8 in the game, but finished 10-of-24. Rhoads didn’t comment on Jantz or his play against the Aggies (5-2, 3-1 Big 12), rather he focused on the rest of his team and how Barnett played. At the point Jantz left the game, he was 123-of-228 passing on the season, throwing for 1,322 yards, 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions. Jantz also turned the ball over — either on an interception or fumble — in each game for the Cyclones (3-4, 0-4). What Rhoads did comment on was his team’s mistakes and his receivers’ drops, as well as how his replacement quarterback played amid those problems. “I think what I saw was great poise [from Barnett] out there on

By Mark Schafer Daily Staff Writer Meghan Cassens won her singles tournament bracket Sunday at the Kansas Invitational. Cassens defeated Indiana’s Ariel Beckerman (6-1, 6-3) to capture the victory. Earlier in the weekend, Cassens defeated Kansas State’s Petra Chunda to earn her match in the finals Sunday. Maria Fernanda Macedo and Simona Cacciuttolo were in Tulsa, Okla., for the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Central Regional tournament.

the football field,” Rhoads said. “I saw a redshirt freshman who was in control of himself and in control of our offense. I saw a guy that delivered the ball on time. I saw a guy that threw accurate passes over most of the course of the afternoon.” Barnett was more critical of his own play and was quick to give credit to his teammates, much like his predecessor. “First things first, I would say I have to be better,” Barnett said when asked to rate his performance. “I was ready. I was ready to go in. Steele went in there and he wasn’t having a very good day. Coach Rhoads pulled the trigger on me and expected me to go out there and make the plays.” The offense seemed to have a spark when Barnett first entered the game, and it appeared as though he was set for a big game. But the A&M defense, Barnett said, caught on to what the offense was doing and was able to scheme against it the rest of the game. Wide receiver Josh Lenz, who caught a career-high eight passes for 117 yards, was quick to praise Barnett. “We all knew he had the ability to do [what he did in the game],” Lenz said. “He came in without skipping a beat [and] helped out our offense move up and down the field. “He did give us a little spark and that’s what we needed.” Right after the game, Barnett wasn’t aware of Rhoads’ comments regarding next week or the coach’s thoughts on starting the Garland, Texas, native. Instead, he said he knew he’d have that conversation with his coach later in the week and that the team needed to correct the problems that had led to the first four-game losing streak in Rhoads’ tenure. “We’re just coming off a loss and there’s a lot of things we have to improve on,” Barnett said.

Straube and Tenisha Matlock continued to be major contributors on offense as Straube registered 10 kills while Matlock had nine. Matlock continued to be a defensive terror at the net, with seven block assists on the night. Freshman outside hitter Victoria Hurtt also registered four block assists off the bench to go with six kills. “[Hurtt] blocked some
balls that were so straight down that A&M didn’t have any chance to bring it up,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It was just some really impressive blocking from her. She’s got that capability so it was really exciting to see that tonight.” The Cyclones will be back on the court this Wednesday in Ames at Hilton Coliseum to take on Kansas (12-8, 0-7) at 6:30 p.m.
