Getting past the perceptions

Satellite voting goes on despite accusations

By John.Lonsdale iowastatedaily.com It started with two white dots. Three weeks went by after the accident before anyone knew what was wrong with him, until the doctor spoke the words that changed Larry Mitchell’s life forever. Mitchell, sophomore in prebusiness, has vitiligo. “If [the Daily] had come to me a couple years ago about a story,” Mitchell said, “I would’ ve said no.” He can remember the date, time and temperature exactly. Nov. 6, 1998, Mitchell was home from school because of the chronic asthma he’s had since he was 3 days old that also put him in a coma in 2004, but was starting to feel better around 5 p.m. With the purple BMX bike his grandmother had gotten him for Christmas, Mitchell rode toward a ramp at the 100-year-old, V-shaped tree near his house. As the 63-degree November air hit his skin, Mitchell couldn’t stop feeling uneasy about the day. The ramp grew closer until Mitchell pedaled off the ramp as he attempted to do a 360 through the trees and crashed into a chain-link fence. Mitchell blacked out. He woke up to his mother, Lisa, standing over him with Band-Aids over the open cuts on his hands and knees. Hysterical, his mother rushed him to the

exploring ways to treat the disease. The goal of treatment is to restore the melanocytes in the skin, Warren said. Although the prognosis for treatment isn’t good, one commonly used on vitiligo patients is Narrowband UVB Phototherapy, an ultraviolet light treatment. Probably the best treatment, Warren said, the phototherapy process is slow and requires at least 6-to-12 months of treatment if it works at all, and in some cases, it doesn’t.

Satellite voting took place at Cornerstone Church on Sunday, despite accusations that there would be electioneering and influence on voters directed toward both the Story County Auditor and the church. Story County Auditor Mary Mosiman said more than 100 voters cast their ballots at the Cornerstone polling station, while an estimated 1,600 people attended the Sunday services last weekend. Satellite voting this year has seen a low turnout, Mosiman said, especially when compared to the 2008 presidential election, which saw 300 or more votes at satellite stations. The Cornerstone location has been the busiest station this year. However, Mosiman did not make any speculations as to what proportion of the votes came from members of the church itself. “We’ve seen both, either the members of the church or the people who came here specifically to vote,” Mosiman said. “We anticipate that we’ll receive traffic through two o’clock.” The final service ended at noon. Mosiman and Cornerstone were still adamant in their defense that there would be no electioneering or campaigning during the service or at the poll site. “I’ve talked with a number of people who are members of this church and a good portion of the staff members here, even the ones who preach the message,” Mosiman said. “I do know that they might be saying that we might have satellite available, but they won’t be saying vote this way or that way ... If that takes place in the church, that’s their risk.” There was no mention of the polling or the election during the church service, aside from a brief statement in the program that read “Register to vote in the south auditorium foyer on Oct. 24.”

nearest hospital where they lived in Crown Heights, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y. After the cuts scabbed over, Mitchell, as any child does, began to pick the scabs off of his wounds, and two white dots formed where his cuts had been. After waiting about a week, the two white dots grew to dimesize and then became bigger patches. Mitchell and his mother knew something was wrong. “I would have never went outside that day,” Mitchell said. Vitiligo is an autoimmune

disease that results in a loss of pigmentation in the skin. “[It] occurs in about 1 to 2 percent of the [American] population,” said Christina Warren, nurse practitioner at Iowa Dermatology Clinic. “Usually when people have vitiligo, they’re stuck with it for life.” Warren said the disease can be hereditary and the body is unable to produce melanocytes, the cells in the body that create pigment in the skin. Although there is no cure for it, dermatologists all over the world are

Pamela Anderson to grace 13th Playboy cover: The 13th time’s the charm for Pamela Anderson. That’s how many appearances the former “Baywatch” star will have made on the cover of Playboy magazine when her issue hits the stands in January 2011, according to a rep for the publication. In a post from his Twitter account on Oct. 20, Hugh Hefner announced that 43-year-old Anderson is set to grace the pages at the start of the new year. “Pamela Anderson is in the Mansion swimming pool, posing for the January cover in a tribute to ‘La Dolce Vita,’” he wrote, referring to the classic 1960 Fellini film in which actress Anita Ekbeg romps in Rome’s Trevi fountain in a slinky black gown.

Mel Gibson in “The Hangover 2”? Not anymore, says director Todd Phillips. Though the troubled 54-yearold actor had been confirmed to do a cameo as a Bangkok tattoo artist in the follow-up to the 2009 hit comedy, he has now been cut from the film. “I thought Mel would have been great in the movie and I had the full backing of Jeff Robinov and his team,” Phillips told CNN in a statement. “But I realize filmmaking is a collaborative effort, and this decision ultimately did not have the full support of my entire cast and crew.”

Buscher’s concoction, entitled “S’more KD,â€? survived the ďŹ rst round of the competition, Sept. 6 to Sept. 26. She advanced to the second round, Sept. 27 to Oct. 17, which consisted of the top ďŹ ve creations. “I got a lot of support [from my house],â€? Buscher said. “We had different Cold Stone nights where people would try to go.â€? Contestants earned points when customers purchased their concoction, depending on the size of the order. A 3-ounce order earned one point, while a 48-ounce order earned seven. Buscher ďŹ nished with 144 points. “I feel like the ďŹ ve ďŹ nalists this year were more popular with the general public than some of the creations we’ve had in the past,â€? Siegel said. “Sometimes we’ll do this kind of thing for fundraisers ... and they don’t always go over so well.â€? Siegel said he’s even asking Cold Stone area developers if he can start carrying some of the more popular creations on a regular basis. “It’s nice to ďŹ nd something that does something good for the community, but you can also have fun with in the process.â€? Siegel said. The rest of the results have not yet been released. Keep reading the Iowa State Daily this week to ďŹ nd out who won the Cold Stone Go Greek contest.

The Cold Stone Creamery Go Greek Scholarship Contest invited all ISU greek chapters to invent an original Cold Stone creation. The concoction that sold the most in the Ames store earned its creator a $500 scholarship. The Iowa State Daily will proďŹ le each of the top ďŹ ve ďŹ nalists, releasing the winner and runner up on Thursday. Monday’s article highlights the ďŹ fth place winner.

Stephan Siegel, manager of the Cold Stone Creamery in Ames, invited all sororities and fraternities to nominate a contestant. The nominees each developed a creation and competed with other houses for a scholarship of up to $500. The inventor of the mostpurchased creation will win the scholarship. “We had about eight or nine houses participate this year,â€? Siegel said. “Last year we had about 17 houses participating, so the scholarship was a bit bigger.â€? This year, the ďŹ rst-place winner will receive a $250 scholarship and a free ice cream social for his or her chapter.

Animal study

Researchers work to discover treatments for lame sows By Whitney.Sager iowastatedaily.com They’re pink, black, brown or a combination of colors. Some roll around in the mud all day while others take care of their young. People may think they smell odd, but they like to classify their scent as a special “perfumeâ€? or “cologne.â€? October is National Pork Month. With the state of Iowa being predominately agricultural, one does not have to look far to ďŹ nd this species of anima. One does not even have to leave the Ames area. Several ISU professors have been conducting research on lameness issues in sows - adult female swine. The group’s project involves determining what kind of treatments can be administered to sows exhibiting lameness due to disease, sore legs or some other form of pain. “We want to ďŹ nd cheap resources for farmers to use and prevent the farmer from getting rid of the sow,â€? said Anna Butters-Johnson, assistant professor of animal science. Butters-Johnson said lameness is one of the top reasons why farmers remove sows from their herd. Sows will typically reproduce three litters of piglets. If a farmer removes a sow from the herd before it has produced three litters, the farmer loses money. Since the sows cannot verbally communicate that they are in pain, the researchers look for other sif-

nals that show the animal is uncomfortable. Butters-Johnson said these signs can be shown through a variety of forms, including shifts in how the sow walks, changes in the sow’s drinking and eating frequencies and problems while trying to get up. The researchers conduct their studies on the sows in the Swine Intensive Studies Lab. The lab is equipped with a variety of technologies that help detect signs of lameness in the sows, including a scale with sensors that measure the amount of weight the sow puts on each foot and a walkway with sensors and cameras to record the way the sow walks. Butters-Johnson said the sows must ďŹ rst be trained so they are accustomed to the equipment before any research is conducted. “It takes three to four days of attention, care and bribing with cookies,â€? ButtersJohnson said of the training process. Since the sows tested in the lab do not have any lameness issues, the professors irritate a foot of the sow to help validate the testing equipment. “We bring in healthy animals and induce lameness that resolves itself within a week,â€? said Ken Stalder, professor of animal science. From the results of their study, the researchers can determine what method of treatment is best for the various causes of lameness in the animals. Stalder said the results of the study will beneďŹ t sows,

farm workers and farmers alike. The sows will beneďŹ t because their pain will be relieved sooner. Workers will not have to deal with lame sows, which can be labor intensive. Farmers will be able to make an educated decision of whether it is best to treat the lameness issue or sell the sow. “On three levels it’s a bang for your buck,â€? Stalder said. This is the ďŹ rst time a study like this has ever been conducted on swine, so it is a learning process for everyone. “We’re entering uncharted waters, which is sometimes exciting and overwhelming,â€? Butters-Johnson said. The researchers hope to create informational posters that can be hung in swine buildings that list the signs of lameness farmers and producers should look for in sows.

Flu season underway, vaccinations available By Krupali.Desai iowastatedaily.com Vaccination is the best action to take to avoid contracting the u, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website. Last year’s H1N1 epidemic affected “huge numbersâ€? of people at Iowa State, said Laura Knowles, Thielen Student Health Center program coordinator. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention expects a lot of illness in the 2010-2011 u season, which begins in October and can last as late as May, usually peaking around January. The root of the ďŹ rst pandemic in 40 years, the H1N1 virus is now part of regular vaccinations along with inuenza A H3N2 virus and inuenza B virus – the three viruses predicted to cause the most illness in the U.S. this u season. Unlike last year when the H1N1 vaccine and the seasonal vaccine had to be taken separately, this u season, people only need to have one vaccine. Everyone 6 months and older should get vaccinated, the CDC recommends. Knowles referred students to the CDC website, which also features a u map to show where the u is hitting hardest. “We take their guidelines and implement them here,â€? Knowles said. Knowles recommended cleaning common items such as doorknobs, faucet handles, ush handles and phones with disinfectant wipes or spray to keep the risk of spreading

Get vaccinated Flu shots and nasal spray are now available at the Thielen Student Health Center every Wednesday and Saturday through October from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Cost is $20 for injectable and $25 for nasal spray and will go directly to your U-Bill.

down. You can also keep little packets of disinfectant wipes with you, she suggested. “Last year we encouraged lab monitors to clean keyboards and common surfaces in labs,â€? Knowles said. Although not a substitute for getting vaccinated, antiviral drugs are about 70 to 90 percent effective against viruses which are not resistant to antiviral medication. Flu spreads up to six feet from people who have the u, mainly when they cough, sneeze or talk. Since the u is contagious, it can spread even before the infected person shows any symptoms. Runny nose, stuffy nose, coughing, chills and fever are symptoms of the u. If you get the u, the CDC recommends taking antiviral prescription medicine, staying home until 24 hours after you no longer have a fever and limiting contact with others as much as possible to avoid infecting them. The CDC advises covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, washing your hands often with soap and water, avoiding touching your eyes,

Since the start of u vaccine clinics this season at Iowa State, about 1,500 vaccines have been given. In November vaccines will be offered on Wednesday mornings and in later months will be given on an appointment basis.

Election 2010 >>VOTING.p1A

Ad labeled as fundraising tactic By Tyler. Kinkade iowastatedaily.com DES MOINES — The Des Moines Social Club’s location was the Iowa headquarters for the Howard Dean 2004 presidential run and Barack Obama’s run in 2008. Out of Dean’s 2004 campaign sprang Democracy For America, a pro-liberal group that has been active in campaigning for Democratic candidates in the years following, and now the co-sponsors of a new attack ad targeting Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa). As Dean’s brother, Jim, the head of DFA, addresses a crowd of support-

>>MITCHELL.p1A Other forms of aid include creams such as Protopic and Elidel. Warren said they often have steroid-like effects, but there’s no guarantee they will work in the two-to-six month period they’re supposed to. “You can try systemic steroids, but those are dangerous to take long term,” Warren said. “We’ve tried topical cortisones, and they work to some degree to help to turn it around. Once you get it that widespread it’s so difficult to treat.” “These people are desperate to get a treatment. We give them something to try, but also tell them that this may very well not work for them.” Now 21, Mitchell still hurts as badly as he did 12 years ago. “I get observed by at least 100 people on average every day,” he said. “No one says nothing, but everyone turns and looks ... turns and looks away. “People fear what they don’t understand, and rather than try to find out, they either become biased against it whether they be name-calling or it being a physical attribute, or they just don’t want nothing to do with it.” A couple years ago, Mitchell wanted to go on a social website but wasn’t sure if it would be a good idea. While his family badgered him about getting on one of them and actually creating four MySpace profiles, Mitchell deleted them each time.

ers at Democratic US Senate candidate Roxanne Conlin’s fundraiser in the Des Moines Social Club Sunday evening, and said he didn’t even know about the ad before it launched. The ad was co-sponsored with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. The commercial starts with a man, Kevin Shilling, listing off Republicans he voted for in the past including Richard Nixon, George W. Bush and Charles Grassley. Then goes into several clips of Grassley talking about “living off the public tit” in regards to working for the federal government and “pulling the plug on grandma”

“How many people you think would wanna date me?” Mitchell asked. “No, scratch that, be my friend? No, how many people would actually give me the time of day? “You know, in the beginning I used the ‘why me?’ sort of thing ... I lost a lot of friends and family members, but it opened up my eyes and showed me who was there for me.” Since his accident, Mitchell has shut himself off from the world for the most part. He has experienced discrimination in job interviews where managers have turned him away in less than 30 seconds from him leaving the elevator door to people asking him about his “burns.” As his skin began to change from dark to pale white, he locked himself in his room for months at a time – skipping school but still doing his homework. He felt like he couldn’t trust anyone anymore. “I had one best friend, Kelsey,” Mitchell said. “After the accident, he acted like he didn’t know me around everybody else. I remember one day he said, ‘Who are you?’ What do you mean who am I? That was one of the worst experiences of my life ... the speed and quickness of the amount of time it took to lose the people around me...” Nearly a year ago, Mitchell was on a bus when someone came up to him and started talking to him – a neighbor of his. Speechless, Mitchell said he felt like he was a girl getting asked out on a date. He couldn’t

“We feel fine, I think that everyone got to vote who wanted to vote. The issue for us is to make sure that there is no disruption of the service because of the voting or the voting because of our service,” said Tim Lubinus, the Cornerstone global and regional ministries pastor. Some members of the church who did not vote refused to comment and instead directed questions to Lubinus. However, one voting member, Peter Gudlewski, was willing to discuss his feelings regarding the polls. “It’s a little curious, however ... I haven’t heard anyone in church, any of the elder team, any of the pastors, anything like that mention anything about the election,” Gudlewski said. “They didn’t even say anything today that it was going on ... knowing that they didn’t press anything or have any type of an agenda or publicity about the whole event made me a little more comfortable. They were very good about that, making sure they were unbiased and things like that.” There are still four more voting sites, three of which will be next Saturday at Hy-Vee West, the Lincoln Center Hy-Vee and the First Evangelical Free Church. The final polling station will be from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. next Sunday at the Stonebrook Church.

The whole year I had been here and no one, no one had ever said more than hello to me.” Mitchell has people who come up to him and express they are unsure how to approach him and try to ask him what happened instead of just staring at him. “Every time that happened it brought a tear to my eye, because people can sometimes stare till they burn a hole through your soul.” Mitchell has Type 2 vitiligo — the worst type according to him, because it’s in between Type 1, which doesn’t spread as fast, and Type 3, which is total coverage. Within a span of 10 to 20 years, if the disease passes 35 percent of your body, it becomes irreversible. If he is outside in weather hotter than 85 degrees, he is supposed to be in water or in the shade. Mitchell’s pale white patches have covered more than 35 percent of his body. His face is a mixture of brown and white, and as he pushes up his sleeves while speaking, one can see the nearly-amassed coverage of his arms. Phototherapy worked for Mitchell. The last time he did the treatment it brought back the color in his face. Using Protopic, the color from his knees down to his ankles came back, too. “I got to see my face again,” Mitchell said. “But I got sick. It came back.”

After Mitchell got his color back, he was hospitalized in 2007 for a month and a half due to his asthma. Two and a half weeks later, the disease came back just as it had started – the white dots. “That’ s my only wish,” Mitchell said. “You know how many nights I stay up and pray, and I’m not even a believer, and I pray. Just to go back one time, just one time, I never would have went outside. I was talking to my mom the other day and told her that I’m ready to be one color.” Lisa knew there wouldn’t be a cure for her son’s disease. As she reads the book he wrote about his disease for a high school class over the phone, she recalls the hardships they have gone through. “At one time he thought I didn’t want to walk the street with him,” Lisa said. “He would sit in the dark, keep everything up inside. He wanted to kill himself. You know what I used to tell him – you wanna kill yourself, go ahead. You cannot feed negativity with negativity.

“People are surprised by me saying that, but nobody else was there when I was laying there in pain with him. He came out of it. ‘If you’re under that situation, lift your head up and walk the streets high because you never know what tomorrow will hold. You know what, I love you all the same ... black, white, purple. All that matters is that I love you,’ that’s what I tell him.” Mitchell is often asked why he stopped doing the treatments if they were helping him. Whispering, he stares at the cement ground around the picnic table he is sitting on and explains that it’s become a part of him. Although he used to refuse to let his disease take over, he now realizes that it doesn’t change who he is as a person. Even if a new breakthrough in science came through, Mitchell would more than likely turn it down because it would change his life all over again. “I stopped wearing shorts,” he said. “I never wore opentoed shoes either. Soon as it

spread to my knees ... last year was the first time in 10 years I put shorts on again.” As he sits down to eat a turkey sandwich and to talk more about his disease, Mitchell says he wasn’t going to be able to do a photograph until he realized how important it was to show how far he’s come on the inside. “There’ s always a part of me that wants my skin back, but I have a new wish,” Mitchell said. “I want to see the other side.” Unwrapping the sandwich paper, he stares down at his hands and begins to carefully move his finger right above his middle finger where the white dots used to be but have been replaced by the pale, white patches. With a huge smile, Mitchell looks up from his hands. “Going back means giving up all I’ve learned from it,” he said. “I don’t care which color I am, let’s just be one. This way, people will stop viewing me like they see me, and start viewing me as I am.”

OUR VOTE: Chet Culver

There’s not a gubernatorial candidate we’re excited to support this year. However, we endorse Gov. Chet Culver, in hopes that he will give us more to be excited about. While former Gov. Terry Branstad has the “Branstache,” some of his positions are not in the best interest of Iowa’s public universities. A ban on stem cell research, which he has said he would reinstate, would limit universities’ ability to be competitive while federal restrictions are being lifted. Culver, however, is focused on energy. During his tenure, Iowa was ranked first in the nation in wind manufacturing jobs, and second in wind energy production. Culver balanced Iowa’s budget after the worst economy since the Great Depression. Culver supports same-sex marriage and the right to choose — controversial, but necessary to make Iowa a welcoming home for everyone. Iowa must elect a candidate who has the best interests of the state at heart, and the best plan to protect those interests. We believe Culver is that candidate. OUR VOTE: Francis Thicke

Last week, we ran an editorial about Francis Thicke, challenger for Iowa’s secretary of agriculture. We now endorse Thicke. Thicke sees a problem with the current state of agriculture in Iowa. It’s not sustainable enough and it’s far too dependent on foreign oil. He has a platform of solutions to these problems, and we are impressed with his specificity. Thicke has a very real plan for action. As an Iowa farmer, he has a good perspective on the agricultural issues facing the state. He’s seen different ways of farming, and he knows the science behind what works, what doesn’t and why. Some of his ideas are radical, and may not be immediately put into action, but they do address the pertinent issues — and they’ll work if everyone is on board. We want Thicke as our next secretary of agriculture. OUR VOTE: Charles Grassley

Senator Charles Grassley is a prominent senator who has a record of championing Iowa, and, we believe, the means to do so for another six years. Conservative Iowans will likely find little to disagree with on Grassley’s votes, and he’s a Cyclone fan. Still, we are dismayed by Grassley joining his Republican colleagues in fearmongering. His comments on “death panels” rumored to be instituted in the new health care reform were far out of line. Despite being a vocal senator working on health care reform, we doubt his candor when his vote never seemed in play. Roxanne Conlin has, in general, failed to present a convincing argument that Iowans would be better under her representation, and in any election against a five-term senator, the challenger has the burden of proof. OUR VOTE: Beth Wessel-Kroeschell

We endorse Beth Wessel-Kroeschell as representative of District 45. WesselKroeschell has proven herself accessible and active in our community, and a champion of Iowa’s public universities in the state house. Between door-knocking and a Facebook presence, Wessel-Kroeschell shows a determination to know students and residents and gather their thoughts and feedback. Her opponent, Karin Sevde, fails to win favor with students by promising to reduce the size of the state government that is providing our subsidized education. Nor does Sevde’s campaign get specific about what constitutes balance or fairness. Wessel-Kroeschell has our vote.

Our way still works By Yun.Kwak iowastatedaily.com

South Korean education only looks good on paper

T

he American education system is seen by many as broken. Some examples would be the education system that pumps in billions and billions of dollars while churning out an increasingly less intelligent population. Yet somehow at the end of the day we’re still sitting at the top of the world. Let me compare you to what goes on in my home country South Korea. And why the American way, while may seem flawed, is still the best way to go about things. South Korea is one of Asia’s wealthier economies. Not as rich as the United States or Japan, but still very well off compared to the rest of the world. Here you have public school students 15 years of age ranking 3rd in terms of mathematics performance for OECD countries according to the latest assessment by the OECD. The United States? Around 28th. That doesn’t sound too bad until you realize OECD has only 38 member countries. OECD stands for Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development. It’s essentially an organization for developed and affluent countries in the world. This means out of 38 industrialized nations, the US is near the bottom in terms of mathematics performance.

Learn to recycle e-waste By Tim.Greene iowastatedaily.com

Electronics have lots of recyclable materials inside

I

buy a lot of gadgets. From digital cameras to the exceeding number of peripherals and accessories needed to play video games, the amount of money I spend on technology is second only to the expense of my education or, perhaps, food. Whether I truly need all this technology is up for debate, but that is for another time. As society progresses, people are buying more and more technology, so what are we to do with the growing amount of electronic waste? Recently my digital camcorder decided to call it quits. After learning that the warranty expired six months ago, I was left with the predicament concerning the disposal of its

remains. This problem was much easier to solve in junior high. Newly departed electronics would be met with a baseball bat in my backyard. I suppose teenage angst or fear of robot revolution created this need to destroy broken technology. Anyone who has seen videos of the robot who learned to flip pancakes on YouTube can relate to my fear of an eventual robotic uprising — it starts with breakfast food, but the systematic takeover of Earth will soon follow. However, things are not as simple as they were when I was 13, so I decided to look for an alternative. After considering simply throwing the camcorder in the dumpster, I realized this would be a bad idea. Everyone knows it’s important to manage waste, but our growing dependence on technology is creating new problems. Reports by the U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency state that electronic waste is increasing at three times the rate of other municipal waste. However, it’s possible that many Americans are unaware of this because a large amount of our e-waste is shipped over to Asia. Electronics contain a number of recyclable materials including aluminum, copper and polyethylene. According to the Environmental Media Association, e-waste only represents 2 percent of trash in the United States, but it accounts for 70 percent of overall toxic waste. It may seem like common sense that electronics often contain hazardous materials that should be recycled, but I don’t think it’s an issue people consider very often. According the EMA, every year we generate approximately 50 million tons of e-waste, and only 10 percent of it will be recycled. This makes sense because

most of our education about recycling and waste takes place during elementary school. Recycling cans and bottles is covered well enough, but I don’t remember being instructed that the Freon in refrigerators makes them hazardous to throw out. Education about waste management needs to evolve with our increasingly plugged-in society. There are a number of things you can do to help reduce the 180,000 pounds of hazardous waste produced at Iowa State each year, many of which are less annoying than printing off class syllabi yourself (making students print them does not magically save paper). The ISU website, has links to a number of resources where students can learn how to dispose of or recycle electronics. Regardless of the number of available programs, results will depend on the level of student involvement.

Aggression

Violent video games may not be villain By Brandon.Blue iowastatedaily.com

A

s I blew the guy’s head off and laughed gleefully at the shower of gore spurting from his opened neck stump, I put the Xbox controller down and wondered to myself: “Have I become desensitized to violence?â€? I pumped a clip of acid bullets into the nearest set of teeth I could ďŹ nd and as they melted, I decided that, no, I hadn’t become desensitized to anything. Because I was playing “Borderlandsâ€? — a video game, in case you’re unaware. Once I shut off my Xbox, I didn’t caress a revolver while leering at my sleeping roommate. I didn’t make a list of people I wanted to shoot. The reason I didn’t immediately become a creepy killer after playing a violent game is because it was a game. When you’re 4, you can barely understand how people go to the bathroom, much less that violence in the media isn’t real. But now I’m older; I know that digestion is aided by peristalsis, and I know that blowing off a guy’s arm in “Fallout: New Vegasâ€? isn’t the same as gleefully avulsing one in real life. In fact, at the beginning of this month, I was a passenger in a car driving by Taco Time on Lincoln Way. As we passed I saw that a bicyclist had been struck by a car and was lain out on the curb while paramedics examined him. His jeans had been cut away, and I thought I caught a glimpse of his mangled leg. Whether or not I’d truly seen what I thought I had, the rest of my night was ďŹ lled with the horror that I had seen something so grisly in real life. For little kids, the distinction might not be clear. For you and me, it’s so ho-hum that it’s a non-issue. My revelation concerning violent imagery comes after playing “Borderlands,â€? an insanely violent

game not intended for children. Until my ďŹ rst playthrough, I was unaware that there was a game where I could vaporize a guy’s entire upper body with a pistol. I’m not the ďŹ rst person at Iowa State to notice hilariously overdone levels of video game violence; Iowa State University Distinguished Professor of Psychology Craig Anderson saw the increase and released a study earlier this year pointing out a causal link between violent videogames and aggressive behavior. My bare walls, which lack

a bachelor’s diploma in psychology, do not permit me to disagree outright with Anderson. But I don’t think his research is the last piece in the puzzle as to why kids get so aggressive. In my mind, there are simply too many factors that can make a person aggressive besides violent videogames. For example, Assistant Professor Christopher Ferguson of Texas A&M International University points out (1), Anderson’s study didn’t account for family violence. According to Ferguson, this “pretty much wipes out any relationship be-

tween violent games and aggression, so the correlation is essentially zero once you control for family violence.â€? Maybe it does wipe out the relationship, Chris. Maybe not. But the point that we agree on is that nobody’s outlook on life is deďŹ ned solely by video game violence. That’s easy to forget, especially when violence in games increases each year. But for some reason, I think abusive parents would be more likely to nurture little Jimmy’s future massacre than every ďŹ lm in the “Guinea Pigâ€? series. When his research was published

in March, Anderson was quoted by ISU News Service (2) as saying that, “just like your child’s diet and the foods you have available for them to eat in the house, you should be able to control the content of the video games they have available to play in your home.� Even if video games are to blame for children becoming more aggressive, know that when your kid snaps and decides to re-enact that ear scene from “Reservoir Dogs,� you’ve got no one to blame but yourself. Well, yourself and Stealers Wheel.

abolished the Conservation Commission in favor of a politicized Department of Natural Resources. The Republican Party since the years of Eisenhower and Ray has changed greatly. Their campaigning this election year is the worst I have experienced. The GOP has become the party of greed, of lies and distortion, of extremists, of anti-science, of the elite and the rich, of homophobes, of corporate monopolies, of white supremacy, of intolerance, and the party against religious freedom, against protective regulation, and against good government. Never has our democracy been so threatened. Now, I am afraid. The fault I ďŹ nd with the Democratic Party is that they have stooped too low to compromise with these radical so-called conservatives who walk in lockstep with talkradio hacks. I hope you will vote against these un-American despots who are out to take over our country and our freedom. Vote for any and all Democrats, but especially in the upcoming senatorial election. In 2001, Herman Quirmbach played a key role in helping coordinate the bond issue campaign that led to the establishment of Ada Hayden Heritage Park. The skills, knowledge and time that Herman contributed, is just one example of his commitment to work with others in order to accomplish important goals for the health of the community and the environment. As a state senator he has continued to support legislation that beneďŹ ts the state’s environment. In addition Herman believes Iowa must honor its commitment to education, provide human services to children, seniors, families, disabled, and others in need, and create quality jobs. Herman Quirmbach is an experienced leader committed to quality of life in Iowa. Please vote to elect Herman Quirmbach for Senate. ™

‘A humbling victory’

Iowa State claims first defeat of Texas in program’s history, doubling as first road win over ranked opponent since 1990 By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com AUSTIN, Texas — It came with nail biting, prayers from 1,000 miles away and plenty of sweat, but with a 28-21 victory Saturday, Iowa State defeated the No. 22 Texas Longhorns for the first time in program history. The Cyclones (4-4, 2-2) were outscored 12027 in two defeats on the past two Saturdays, but came out on the field at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium energized and confident. “I don’t know that I can express it,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads after the game. “I hope my face does. I hope my voice does.” Taking a 14-3 lead into halftime in front of a stunned crowd, and clinging to victory even when the Longhorns (4-3, 2-2) scored back-toback fourth quarter touchdowns, Iowa State held on. Rhoads added another historic win to his resume after last year’s Nebraska road win, but this win may have been bigger. “We have given up 120 points over the last two weeks,” Rhoads said. “To stay focused, per-

severe and trust in that coaching and go back to work every day and think that you can win a ball game against the No. 22 ranked football team in the nation in one of the most traditional places to play college Rhoads football -- it’s a huge credit to our football players.” The Cyclone defense came up big at the right times and only allowed the Longhorn offense into the end zone twice in six trips to the red zone. The ISU offense was out-gained by more than 100 yards, but consistent success in field position and a much improved 7-of-17 third down efficiency helped the team to victory. National runner-up last season and ranked No. 5 to start the year, the Longhorns have now lost two games at home to unranked opponents this season. “What we did was totally unacceptable,” said Texas coach Mack Brown. “There will be some guys that played really well. I told them in the dressing room that I’ll congratulate them. It’s a shame nobody will ever know it except the

coaches.” Totaling 199 rushing yards, the Cyclones’ offensive attack was keyed by senior running back Alexander Robinson’s 120 yards and two touchdowns. The Longhorn rush defense had been ranked No. 20 in the nation, but the 45 carries by the ISU offense were too much for the home team. “I think our offensive line did an outstanding job, and I think A-Rob got as skinny as he could on several of those runs to get himself through those holes,” Rhoads said. “In a game like this, against a defense as good as Texas’, a six yard run is a fantastic play.” The win was Iowa State’s first on the road against a ranked team since defeating Oklahoma in 1990. It also gave the team their first win against the traditional power program in eight tries. “This is a humbling victory, and this team

has so much belief and resiliency as a program,” said ISU quarterback Austen Arnaud. “That’s the thing about us, we come into every game thinking we’re going to win. Today we did, and we were very fortunate.” Arnaud finished the game 11-of-23 passing, with two touchdowns and one interception, and provided 40 yards on the ground. The Longhorns came off a big road win against Nebraska last week, with the Cyclones recovering from a 52-0 defeat against No. 3 Oklahoma. Energy is what the Cyclones credit, even if common sense and momentum indicate the Longhorns came in the stronger team. “The last two weeks were really embarrassing and it’s a pride thing,” said ISU guard Alex Alvarez. “We know we can do things, we know we can execute things.” Another sign of the team’s improvement and change in mentality was its third down conversions. Just 4-of-26 turning a third down into chain movement against Utah and Oklahoma, the Cyclones were 7-of-17 against the

Cyclones avenge KU loss with sweep By Kelsey.Jacobs iowastatedaily.com Revenge can be sweet, and No. 12 Iowa State got a taste of it Saturday when it swept Kansas in three sets (25-20, 25-23, 25-20). The Cyclones (15-4, 8-3 Big 12), who were left reeling after a loss to the Jayhawks (13-9, 4-7) two weeks ago, managed to step up their game this time to even the score and ease their minds. “After playing so poorly down there and losing, I was glad to see that we made some adjustments,” coach Christy Johnson-Lynch said. “We [still] have a lot of work to do, but this is the best we’ve played in a couple of weeks, so that’s encouraging.” Iowa State took control during the first set, out-killing the Jayhawks 14-11. Kansas managed to stay with Iowa State defensively, however, as keeping balls alive is the backbone of the Jayhawks’ program. This kept Kansas in the match, and both teams had tallied 16 digs after set one. During the second set, the Cyclones pulled ahead in all areas except blocking, which was an issue against Kansas last time. By the end

of the second set, Iowa State had only two blocks to the Jayhawks’ five. Part of the problem for the ISU blockers were the KU hitters, who were spiking high. “When we reach really high, then they can use our hands or hit off the top,” said middle blocker Jamie Straube. “We were trying to go really low, but against good hitters and jumpers they can hit over you.” Despite the low blocking numbers, the Cyclones’ offense carried them through the second and third sets. This was a stark contrast from two weeks ago, when the ISU offense struggled to get any production. Only senior Victoria Henson excelled last time, hitting at .308 with 22 kills. This time, Johnson-Lynch was looking for more production out of everyone — particularly the middle blockers — and she got it. Straube had a phenomenal night, hitting at .556 with 11 kills as opposed to .111 and five in the Oct. 9 matchup. “It’s always a good feeling when

something you’ve worked so hard on pays off in the game,” Straube said. “We worked a lot on transition, and I felt like Alison [Landwehr] and I were really connecting.” Not only was setter Landwehr connecting with Straube to help her rack up kills, but she also had valuable match herself, contributing with 38 assists and five kills. “They were definitely keying in on some of our hitters so that left me open,” Landwehr said. “I was glad I could step in there and get some kills for us.” At the end of the night, the Cyclones’ determination to win paid off. They out-played the Jayhawks in every way, hitting at .290 and holding Kansas to .171. The win over the Jayhawks has brought relief to some of the Cyclones following their previous loss to the Kansas team two weeks ago. The motivation gained from that loss will not be forgotten this season, however. “We’re just going to keep mov-

A statement released by the team said Phillips fractured a metacarpal bone in his left hand while participating in a drill. “This was a break that won’t require surgery, which is great news,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “The break was in his left hand, so he will be able to shoot and continue to participate in conditioning.” Phillips will be in a cast for three weeks, according to the statement. Phillips, a junior, transferred to Iowa State after playing two seasons at Marshalltown Community College. He averaged 10.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game in his sophomore season at Marshalltown. The Milwaukee native was named the 2008 Wisconsin Player of the Year by the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association and was an unanimous selection as the player of the year in Milwaukee in his final season at Washington High School.

Early score leads to victory in split with Illini By Dan.Kassan iowastatedaily.com

score. With Ismond pulled in favor of an extra skater, sophomore Brandon Clark scored with 46 seconds left to play. The Cyclones couldn’t get the equalizer, however, and they dropped the opener. In the Saturday matchup, the teams traded goals in the ďŹ rst. The Illini scored three minutes in when their goaltender sent a long pass to an Illini attacker, who burst past the Cyclone defense and scored against ISU goalie Erik Hudson. The Cyclones would get even when David Kurbatsky scored on the power play with assists from Matt Bennett and Jake Flynn. Iowa State came ying out of the starting blocks in the second period. Just 36 seconds in, Matt Rucinski gave the Cyclones their ďŹ rst lead of the weekend when he ďŹ red a shot past the Illini goaltender. Both teams would play solid

The Cyclones earned a split of their weekend series against the University of Illinois. On the road for the ďŹ rst time this season, Iowa State (5-7-0) fell 2-1 in Friday’s contest at the “Big Pondâ€? in Champaign, Ill. The Cyclones failed to score on a ďŹ ve-minute power play and a two-minute power play seconds later. The Illini (8-1-1) did convert on their power play in the ďŹ rst, scoring past ISU goalie Scott Ismond, making the third start of his career. In the second period, the Illini made it 2-0 on an odd-man rush. The game remained at a two-goal disadvantage for the Cyclones into the third, increasing the pressure but failing to

Cyclones ISU loses overtime battle, prepare rebounds against Baylor for ďŹ nal fall meet By Blake.Schultz iowastatedaily.com

By Dean.Berhow-Goll iowastatedaily.com This is the last tournament of the fall for the ISU men’s golf team. This is also the last time before winter that the team will be able to showcase its talent. The golfers head into the Memphis Invitational in Memphis, Tenn., hoping to put together a complete team effort before breaking for the winter months. The Cyclones have been improving with each meet. After ďŹ nishing 11th out of 13 at its ďŹ rst meet, the team ďŹ nished ninth, second and seventh overall at its next three meets. When it ďŹ nished second at the D.A. Weibring Invitational, everything was pointing toward the fact that this could be a top-tier team, as three of the ďŹ ve golfers ďŹ nished in the top 15. Then the team ďŹ nished seventh at the Firestone Invitational, with three of the ďŹ ve golfers ďŹ nishing in the top 22. Once again though, consistency was lacking, which seems to be the fall’s theme. Throughout the fall it seems to be repetitive; another golfer has a great showing, while the rest struggle. The team is hoping to put it all together at this last tournament. “As our last tournament of the fall, I’m looking to see improvement from each of the ďŹ ve players,â€? said coach Andrew Tank. Even with the lack of consistency being an obvious problem, the players don’t feel more pressured, but do know that the sense of urgency is there. “I’m feeling good,â€? junior Nate McCoy said. “My mental preparation was good and I know my game plan is solid. I just have to tee it up and play.â€? McCoy also went on to mention that the conditions will make it a grind. The rough weather may be a good thing though, since the last time the conditions were rough, Borja Virto managed to tie for a ďŹ fth place ďŹ nish, along with McCoy. The team and coach Tank are hoping to just put it all together, and showcase what they really can do. “Most of all, I’m looking for a good team effort with all ďŹ ve guys contributing,â€? Tank said. “Which is something we haven’t had so far this fall.â€? The ďŹ rst round of the Memphis Invitational tees off Monday, with the second and ďŹ nal round on Tuesday.

Iowa State Memphis Invitational Where: Colonial Country Club, Memphis, Tenn. When: 8 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 25 and 26. Notes: The original 18hole course at the Colonial Country Club was opened in 1914 and has since expanded to 36 holes. Other teams in the invitational include Wisconsin, Missouri, Army, South Alabama, Southern Mississippi and Memphis. President Gerald Ford made a hole-in-one on the course in 1977.

For the second time in a week, the ISU soccer team fell in overtime. The Cyclones (6-10-2, 1-7 Big 12) allowed a goal in the overtime period to lose 3-2 to Texas Tech. Texas Tech (11-5-1, 4-3-1) freshman Jessica Fuston scored three times in the game to record a rare hat trick. Fuston scored seven minutes into the game off of a pass that got past the ISU back line and got into the net. Iowa State tied the game up in the 38th minute with a goal from freshman Caitlin Graboski, whose shot from about 20 yards away scored right under the crossbar. At the end of the half, the score was tied 1-1 and Iowa State was out-shooting the Red Raiders 8-4. Texas Tech came out of the locker room and scored right away in the second half. Fuston headed a ball in on a crossing pass past ISU keeper Maddie Jobe. In the 62nd minute, Iowa State got a corner kick and freshman Emily Goldstein placed the ball perfectly near the net. Senior Jordan Bishop attempted a shot, but the Red Raiders’ keeper blocked it away. Freshman Theresa Kucera got the rebound and headed it in to tie the game up at 2-2. From there, the game would stay tied and go into overtime. About six minutes into the extra period, Texas Tech got off a shot, but it was saved by Jobe. But Fuston followed up and was able to get it by for the game-winner. Iowa State will be in action for its last road game at 1 p.m. Sunday at Baylor.

After losing a tough game in overtime Friday to Texas Tech, the Cyclones rebounded by getting a 1-0 win over Baylor. It took until the 67th minute for a goal to be put up on the board, but ISU freshman Emily Goldstein put the ball in the net for the game-winning goal. Goldstein received the pass on a throw-in from freshman Jennifer Dominguez and headed the ball in for a goal. Iowa State (7-10-2, 2-7 Big 12) was outshot in the game 1311 and had three fewer shots on goal than Baylor (10-7-2, 3-6). Baylor had one last chance to score in the ďŹ nal minute, but the shot was turned away by ISU keeper Maddie Jobe. Jobe ďŹ nished the game with seven saves and recorded her seventh win of the season. The Cyclones return home Friday for their ďŹ nal game of the season at 6:30 p.m.

Swimming and diving

Swimmers take meet, divers qualify for NCAA Zones By Nate.Ryan iowastatedaily.com The ISU swimmers came out more focused and ready to swim Saturday in their victory over Nebraska-Omaha, 101-64. Coach Duane Sorenson was much more pleased with his team’s efforts from the beginning. “They were much more relaxed and much more focused,â€? Sorenson said. “They weren’t swimming scared.â€? The swimmers were lead by the efforts of Elena Carvell. Carvell swam the 100-yard freestyle for the ďŹ rst time in her young Cyclone career. The sophomore transfer ďŹ nished with a time of 53.97, earning her a ďŹ rst-place ďŹ nish in the event. Carvell also came away with the 50-yard free-

style with a time of 24.84. “Elena is really talented,â€? Sorenson said. “She needs to believe in herself, and she’ll keep getting better. Carvell also teamed up with Dani Harris, Jeli Nixt and Sarah Norris to take a time of 1:49.33 and ďŹ rst place in the 200-yard medley relay. Harris continued her attack in the water this week in the 200-yard breaststroke. The sophomore took ďŹ rst with a time of 2:23.69. “She’s a very good breaststroke swimmer,â€? Sorenson said. “She’s a great racer and is leading our team right now in the 200 breast time,â€? he said. The Cyclones were happy with the way they attacked in the beginning of their races. “We were just really

pleased the way they stood up and raced,â€? Sorenson said. It was also a big day for the ISU divers. After Saturday’s meet, Iowa State has qualiďŹ ed four divers for the NCAA Zone Diving Championships in March. Jenn Botsch qualiďŹ ed for the 3-meter dive on Oct. 16 in Minnesota. On Saturday, senior Abby Christensen qualiďŹ ed for the second time in her career with a score of 266.78 in her 1-meter dive. Junior Sarah Nelson qualiďŹ ed for the ďŹ rst time in her career with a score of 269. 24. Junior Lauren Naeve also qualiďŹ ed in the 1-meter and took ďŹ rst in the event. “That was pretty exciting for her,â€? said diving coach Jeff Warrick. “She’s been focused

on ďŹ nishing her dives, and that’s what’s really paying off for her right now.â€? Naeve ďŹ nished with a score of 271.10, “destroying her personal best,â€? Warrick said. Naeve has been working on repetition by continuing a dive until she’s happy with her end result. “It feels really good to feel that my practice has ďŹ nally paid off,â€? Naeve said. Naeve then went to the 3-meter dive and earned another personal best with a score of 274.13. “It let me relax after knowing I already qualiďŹ ed for the 1-meter,â€? Naeve said. “It let me just enjoy the 3-meter.â€? Overall the diving team competed at the high level that coach Warrick has been pushing them to compete at.

“Their consistency is getting better, which – when you only do six dives – is very important,� Warrick said. “It was just a great day.� The next meet for the Cyclones is at home at 6 p.m. on Friday, when they face

South Dakota. The teams then turn right around to compete in a doubledual meet with South Dakota State and Western Illinois at 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30. Both meets are at Beyer Hall, and admission is free.

>>UPSET.p8A Longhorns, picking up just enough to get the job ďŹ nished. Texas scored 15 of its 21 points in the fourth quarter, and got the ball back on its own 10 yardline with just one minute left in the game. The Cyclones held under the pressure and momentum, just as they had all game. “I didn’t say a word to them,â€? Rhoads said. “I didn’t need to. I was speaking a lot throughout the course of the football game. I didn’t think I needed to on that drive. They knew what was left, and they knew what they had to do.â€? Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert became nationally known having to ďŹ ll in for starter Colt McCoy in the National Championship game last season. Gilbert hasn’t shined so far this season, but threw his ďŹ rst touchdown in a month against the Cyclones. The sophomore completed 34-of-57 passes for 344 yards and two touchdowns, but those big numbers weren’t enough to compensate for his three interceptions and fumble. “I don’t know if I can stop smiling,â€? said ISU cornerback and Arlington, Texas, native Ter’Ran Benton. “I don’t know if I’m more happy that we won, or that I had about 20 family members up there. It was a good game. I put it all on the ďŹ eld.â€? The Cyclones scored on long drives on three of their four touchdowns, but their biggest impact plays came from ďŹ rst-time starter Jacob Lattimer. The long-haired defensive end was named the starter ahead of Patrick Neal this week, and in his ďŹ rst game logged seven tackles, ďŹ ve of which were solo, two sacks, four hurries and one forced fumble that led to an ISU score. “I just came in and it was just another game. I just came out and played as hard as I could,â€? Lattimer said. Lattimer made a move from linebacker to defensive end in spring practice, and said he wanted to do anything to get on the ďŹ eld and help the team. The Cyclones might still be susceptible to ugly games against top-ight competition, but with upsets like Nebraska last season and on the road against the Longhorns Saturday, the team is being recognized for their tenacity and pride. After all, they have a coach that is “so proud.â€? “We’re blue collar, and we sort of like it,â€? Rhoads said.

The sound of hammers, drills and saws can be heard throughout the greek community as members prepare for lawn display skits. Seven out of the 13 house pairings for homecoming are constructing a lawn display depicting a famous landmark from Iowa State that ďŹ ts into the homecoming theme “Highlight of the Year.â€? Each group has a budget of $3,100 to spend on material, lighting and other expenses for their lawn display. The display is judged on originality, craftsmanship, motion, lighting and compliance to the overall homecoming theme. “Iowa State is the only university that has lawn displays,â€? said Aaron Williams, member of Homecoming Central Committee and sophomore in agricul-

tural business. “Alumni love to come back and see this unique tradition each year,� Williams said. Last year more than 2,000 people watched the displays. Zach Preston, chairman for homecoming for Alpha Gamma Rho, said the planning for lawn displays began almost immediately after classes start at the beginning of the semester. Each year the lawn displays get bigger and better, Preston said. Alpha Gamma Rho, Gamma Phi Beta and Theta Chi won bragging rights for lawn display last year. Alpha Gamma Rho has placed in the top two the past three years. Each pairing turned in a patent that included the rough sketch of the display Sept. 24. A pairing includes a large fraternity, sorority and a small fraternity. The building began Sept. 25 and will continue until 6:00 p.m. Oct. 29 before the judging begins.

Each group writes a 5- to 10-minute skit that they will perform on Friday night during ExCYtement in the Streets. The skit is judged on creativity, costumes, sounds and overall appearance. Lawn displays have had a long-standing tradition in the greek community during Homecoming Week. Dwayne Faidley, president of Alpha Gamma Rho in 1994, said people really took ownership of their lawn displays when he was in a fraternity. “Some of the guys lived out in the front yard.� “Each year brings the same events with new excitement. It is really all about making the most of the experience,� said Andy Pringnitz, president of Farmhouse. “If you work hard and have fun along the way, any additional recognition is a bonus.� A panel of university and community representatives will begin the judging around 8:00 p.m. Oct. 29.

Traditions

Homecoming offers unique, free tournaments By Giovanna.Rajao iowastatedaily.com Tournaments, like Yell Like Hell and Lawn Displays, have been a homecoming tradition for many years, and help bring students together for fun games and activities. This year, tournaments will be held for laser tag, soc-

cer, basketball, indoor volleyball, treds football and Nintendo 64. There is also an Olympics event, which will consist of Tug-O-War, Ice-Cream Eating Contest, Fooseball and Badminton. Participation regulations outline that Cardinal Division

teams competing in tournaments are only allowed to use members of their respective organizations. Also, only one team per organization will be allowed to participate in each homecoming tournament. Sportsmanship points will be given to each organization

at the beginning of the ďŹ rst tournament. Any team that gets 100 percent participation in all of its registered tournament events (including homecoming olympics) will be awarded with 30 extra points — which is the equivalent of a ďŹ fthplace ďŹ nish in an individual

tournament. The events will take place in locations both on and off campus, including the Lied Recreation Athletic Center, the Towers ďŹ elds, Perfect Games, Forker Gym and the Alumni Center Reiman Ballroom. All tournaments are free,

and all winning teams receive a free Homecoming 2010 tournaments T-shirt. Along with Saturday football, the weekend’s calendar includes: various tournaments, free concert, pancake feed, LSI’s annual fundraiser, homecoming tailgate and mass campaniling and ďŹ reworks.

Greek houses practice routines By Giovanna.Rajao iowastatedaily.com From mid September through October, members of campus’ sororities and fraternities gear up for one of the loudest traditions at Iowa State, Yell Like Hell. For 47 consecutive years, frenzied greek students have dominated central campus during Homecoming Week by creating hubbub. As a way to show Cyclone pride, students paint their bodies in cardinal and gold and perform choreographed dance routines, all the while maintaining a deafening, shrilling and roaring yelling. With the intention of promoting and fortifying school spirit, student integration and involvement, Yell Like Hell was introduced in 1963, and has grown to be more than a long preserved practice. Chi Omega pledge Cerella Carlson said participating in Yell Like Hell has been a gateway to meet more people. “I wanted to get to know more of the girls in my house, in addition to becoming active in my sorority.â€? “Yell Like Hell is a Homecoming tradition that consists of a ďŹ ve minute skit featuring the Homecoming theme and the Iowa State ďŹ ght song. The skit is yelled and choreography is set to chants that are unique to every group,â€? said Joseph Trpkosh, senior in music education and Yell Like Hell coordinator. Sororities and fraternities team up and undergo three rounds of elimination. The ďŹ rst cuts feature all

the Yell Like Hell skits — 13 for 2010. The pairings all wear their Yell Like Hell T-shirts and they are judged in six categories. Second cuts feature the top seven groups. These groups get painted from head to toe and perform on Central Campus. Third cuts, like second cuts, happen on Central Campus. The top three skits perform Oct. 29 during the Homecoming Pep Rally and are again painted from head to toe. Groups are judged on a point system in the categories: prep and enthusiasm, creativity and uniqueness, yelling expression, movement precision, portrayal of Homecoming theme and incorporation of the improvisation phase. Judges are picked from faculty and staff recommendations, Ames community leaders, and some representatives from the Student Alumni Leadership Council. Awards are given out to participants and groups for best overall performance by an individual, best representation of the 2010 Homecoming theme, best choreography, best costumes and best script. At each competition round, the Homecoming Central Committee nominates the participants or groups for each award. “All IFC [Interfraternity Council fraternities] and CPC [Collegiate Panhellenic Council sororities] houses participate in Yell Like Hell; however, this is not a greek-only tradition. When the tradition ďŹ rst

started, residence halls and other organizations participated, too,â€? Trpkosh said. Yell Like Hell has progressively turned into an all-greek event. Out of the 22,521 undergraduates from 2009, 11.1 percent were greek students. The event is nevertheless opened to any student. It is neither mandatory, nor limited to ďŹ rst-year greek members. Because Homecoming embodies the entire university, participation is encouraged. “The actives said that [Yell Like Hell] is a lot of fun. Also, I really wanted to socialize with other fraternities and sororities, and that’s one of the best ways meet people from the greek community. Now I look back and see that I met a lot of cool people and don’t regret it at all,â€? said Josh Flott, freshman in mechanical engineering and pledge from the Theta Delta Chi fraternity. With the theme of “Highlight of the Yearâ€? this year, the Student Alumni Leadership Council is putting together a Yell Like Hell skit that will be performed in the noncompetition category. Also, Sigma Nu, a new fraternity on campus, will be participating for the ďŹ rst time this year. Veterans to the tradition, FarmHouse fraternity and Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity are household names when it comes to Homecoming. Both houses have been titleholders throughout the years following the event’s debut in campus.

“We take a lot of pride in being successful in all aspects of the greek community and Homecoming is no exception. Our fraternity has been able to establish a tradition of excellence in association to Homecoming, among other things, and that has been instilled in our members. It is a fun few weeks of activities and the friendly competition between greek houses keeps us motivated to succeed,â€? said senior in agricultural business and member of Alpha Gamma Rho, Justin Van Wert. On the success of FarmHouse fraternity, Andy Pringnitz, junior in agriculture and life sciences and president of FarmHouse, said “Like most houses, we try to have fun with the whole process. It is really all about making the most of the experience. If you work hard and have fun along the way, any additional recognition is a bonus.â€? FarmHouse fraternity, who swept ďŹ rst place last year in Yell Like Hell with its pairing with Alpha Delta Pi, Kappa Sigma and Phi Beta Chi, promises to continue its legacy as crowd pleasers. “Each year brings the same events with new excitement. People can expect the pairing of FarmHouse, Theta Chi, and Gamma Phi Beta to have fun and work hard throughout this year’s Homecoming season,â€? Pringnitz said. Due to this year’s increase in greek recruitment, Yell Like Hell is expected to be louder and more thrilling than ever all previous events.

By Nicole.McIntosh iowastatedaily.com There’s a new spot for ghosts and goblins to stock up on their tricks and treats this year. The Halloween Shop by Celebrations Party and Wedding Store is open this holiday season with costumes, party supplies, decorations and more. “It’s always been a dream of mine to open a Halloween store,” said Stephanie Burnett, owner of Celebrations Party and Wedding Store. “I am a Halloween freak. I just think it’s fun to put on costumes.” The empty shop next to her business offered the perfect opportunity. The vacant retail store had six dressing rooms and the right environment for Halloween costumes. More than 750 costumes for all ages adorn the walls and racks of the shop — “‘Jersey Shore’ costumes have been very popular among the college crowd this year,” Burnett said. Burnett said vampire costumes and Leg Avenue, a sexier line of costumes, have also been popular. For the funny guy of the group, the line Rasta Imposta has cleverer outfits with a sense of humor. College kids aren’t the only target market. Baby and children’s costumes line the shelves as well. Makeup and accessories are also available in the store. Wigs, weapons, pitchforks and jewelry complete the costumes. The shop features Mehron makeup line, which is professional, theatrical makeup. Celebrations plans to keep the makeup line for plays, theatrical events and other dress-up events throughout the year. Celebrations also has everything needed to throw a Halloween party. The fog machines Celebrations offers are Burnett’s favorites. The machine blows bubbles that have fog in them. The bubbles burst, giving the room an eerie, foggy glow. The shop, which has been open since September, will be open through Halloween. From Nov. 1 to Nov. 2, the store will have everything half-off, giving shoppers the opportunity get a head start on next year. Celebrations Party and Wedding Store has a Facebook fan page with special discounts and events for the Halloween Shop. The shop is located at 546 Main St. in downtown Ames.

Six ISU alumni have taken skills they learned in school and made honorable careers of them. The College of Business’s Honors and Awards Ceremony will be Oct. 29 at Cornerstone Church and will reward Dan Houston, Allan Landon, Frank Ross, Denise Essman, and Mark and Julie Blake for their achievements. Houston, Landon and Ross will receive the Citation of Achievement of Award. Houston, a 1984 graduate in marketing, is the president of retirement insurance and financial services at Principal Financial Group. Landon, who earned a degree in industrial administration in 1970, recently retired as chairman and CEO of the Bank of Hawaii Corporation. The bank was named “America’s Best Bank” by Forbes magazine in December 2009. Ross, a 1984 accounting graduate, will be recognized posthumously, as he passed away of a heart attack in June. He was vice president of global commercial business with Pioneer Hi-Bred International. The John DeVries Service Award, which honors alumni who have demonstrated outstanding service to the university, will go to Denise Essman, a 1973 graduate in industrial administration. She served on the ISU Alumni Association board of directors for four years and the ISU Foundation board of governors for 11 years. Essman is president and CEO of Essman/ Associates, based in Des Moines. Mark and Julie Blake will receive the Russ and Ann Gerdin Award, which honors those individuals who did not graduate from the College of Business. Mark graduated in 1977 with a degree in Ag Business, while Julie earned a degree in physical education in 1978. The Mark and Julie Blake Scholarship goes to deserving College of Business students in need.

The eighth annual Stuff the Bus food drive was Oct. 22 and 23. For the event, volunteers collected food and hygiene items as well as money donations at all Hy-Vee and Fareway locations in Ames. Those donations were then placed on the CyRides, which were stationed in parking lots of each. All donations benefited Mid-Iowa Community Action. Danielle Gibbons, a Stuff the Bus coordinator, said the event went by quickly. “I’d never done [Stuff the Bus] before,” she said. “It went by really quickly, and we did a lot for MICA in just two days.” Gibbons said the goals for this year’s event were altered due to Cub Foods’ closing. “With Cub Foods closing, we just wanted to keep up with what we did last year,” Gibbons said. “Last year we filled three-anda-half buses, and we made $2,200. I know we made around $2,700 this year, but we’re still waiting to hear how many food and item donations we collected.” While they had originally planned for Cub Foods to participate and even listed them as a location in early advertisements, Cub Foods stopped stocking their shelves in late September, so the Stuff the Bus coordinators had to make the difficult decision to not include the store in the event. “Cub Foods has always been a great help,” Gibbons said. “We’ve always been able to get so many donations from their customers; they’ve always been great. This year, we just had to hope that those people who normally go to Cub Foods would stop by another store to make donations.” Gibbons said that despite having one less location, they gathered more donations than they expected. “In the first year [of Stuff the Bus], they stuffed one-and-a-half buses and were so excited,” Gibbons said. She added that the community has learned about the event and now come to expect it. “The community knew about it ... That shows that it is making an impact on the community.” While Gibbons said the economy may have affected the number of donations in the last few years, she said she did not think it was an issue this year.

“There were people who could’ve gone in and purchased a couple of dollars worth of food, but instead they gave a $20 bill.” More than 200 volunteers made the event possible. The greek community, international students and athletes participated. Shannon Tan, sophomore in chemistry from Singapore, was amazed at the amount

of support Stuff the Bus had. “It was an eye opener,” he said. “This is my first time doing this kind of thing, and it is interesting to see how people donate freely to help others. It’s a new concept for me.” He added that in Singapore he was a community leader and volunteered for organizations, none of which were like Stuff the Bus.

Donations to food drive estimated around $2,700

Company turnout rises despite flood Relocations didn’t hinder business, student success By Fabrice Ouedraogo Daily Staff Correspondent This summer’s weather posed a unique problem for the semester’s career fairs as their usual location, Hilton Coliseum, is still being repaired from flooding. Career fair ambassadors had to work extra hard to bring in businesses. 123 companies were present at this fall’s Business/LAS fair, which was an increase of about 7 percent from the fall 2009 fair. Laura Walczak, career fair ambassador, said there have been more interviews this fall than last year at this time. This could be due to the recovering state of the economy. In fall 2009, many businesses were still in the process of laying off some of their employees. Additionally, fall career fairs are typically larger given that companies are looking to immediately fill full-time and internship positions before the new year as they move on. The College of Agriculture hosted its career day Oct. 19 at the Lied Recreation Athletic Center. Mike Gaul, director of career placement for the Agriculture Career Services, said there were roughly 500 interviews held, which is around the same amount as last year. “The ag field is pretty strong compared to other sectors on

campus [in terms of career placement],” Gaul said. He added that there was also a 7 percent increase of companies at this career fair. There were 15 new companies, from locations such as Germany, California and Alaska. The field of agronomy, Gaul said, is in high demand given the constant need for food production around the world considering growing population and diet changes. Agri-business, food science and veterinary medicine are next in line. Gaul said students are not getting into this much-wanted

workforce because many pursue graduate school or end up farming on their own. He added that companies expressed disappointment in the lack of seniors at the career fair because most of them have already accepted fulltime positions or internships. The College of Engineering was also successful in delivering a high-quality event where companies were able to recruit well-prepared students for many internships and full-time positions, said Roger Bentley, the Engineering Career Fair coordinator. The Engineering Career Fair had 212 companies registered

for the fair this year compared to 222 last year. Bentley said company numbers are strongly correlated to the overall economy and ability for companies to hire and justify travel costs of recruiters and engineers coming to Iowa State. He added that although there was a slight decrease in companies this time around, interview numbers for students were higher this year compared to last fall. “As an example of the increase, the day after the career fair this fall we ran 715 interviews in the Memorial Union compared to 646 last year, a 10 percent increase,” Bentley said.
