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.

“We play to win,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads after the game. “In order to win, you’ve got to play well. In order to play well, we need to play better and I thought we did that today.”

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
