State Patrol: No fatalities in I-35 crash

By Alex Erb and Paige Godden Daily staff writers An Iowa State Patrol communications specialist confirmed there were no fatalities in the crash on Interstate 35 that happened Thursday afternoon.

According to the crash report, a vehicle driven by Kent Harms, of Roland, Iowa, was stopped at the 111-mile marker due to a previous accident.

A second vehicle, driven by Larry Turner, of Belmond, also was stopped. A third vehicle, driven

by Clayton Deike, was slowing down due to the previous accident.

According to the report, a fourth vehicle ran into the third vehicle, causing a chain reaction.

John Sandorn, according to the report, was injured and transported by Mercy One to Mercy Medical Center, and Turner was taken to Mary Greeley.

An apartment building at 230 Campus Ave. caught fire Thursday afternoon.

Public education

League to host panels

By Breanne Hunter Daily staff writer

The Ames League of Women Voters will host a series of panels in support of a study on the federal government’s role in public education by the

League of Women Voters of the United States at the Ames City Council Chambers from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday.

The public is invited to come listen to panelists discuss the role of the federal government in

public education, the history of funding and equity issues and the common core standards andassessments that are required for many federal grant programs.

Panelists will include ISU professors Dr. Isaac

Gottesman, Dr. Warren Blumenfeld and Dr. Carl Smith.

After the panelists have provided the background information, there will be a questionand-answer time for the audience.

The Iowa Board of Regents discussed raising tuition and fees for fiscal year 2013 at its meeting Thursday.

The board said Hoben it has received $144 million in permanent cuts from state funding since 2009, but maintained that raising tuition would cover the cost of inflation, not the cost of state Geoffroy funding losses.

The average of the regents’ tuition increase would be $240, less than the national average of nearly $600.

ISU Government of the Student Body President Dakota Hoben said he hadn’t received any complaints about the proposed increase from students.

“As students, we understand the difficult times. We have pushed and squeezed our state budget, and we understand the idea of shared sacrifice,” Hoben said.

He added that students have dealt with their fair share over the past few years. Hoben said that the most precious capital is the most important capital.

He said he wants to make sure the universities are accessible and affordable to all.

“Understanding the role that higher education plays in the future of Iowa is essential,” Hoben said.

Hoben ultimately supported the increase.

“Students find the increase more than fair ... paying for inflationary costs,” Hoben said. “We support the proposed tuition and fees for students.”

Spencer Walrath, student body president at the University of Northern Iowa, wasn’t so keen on lending his support for the tuition increase.

He said the University of Northern Iowa is in a unique posi-

Friday marks drop deadline Also final day to make class pass-not pass

By Ben.Theobald @iowastatedaily.com Friday will be the deadline for students to drop a full-semester course without any extenuating circumstances, as well as the time to change a course

from pass-not pass.

In the case of making a class pass-not pass, the instructor is not aware that the student has changed the course to pass-not pass. The instructor submits the grade that the student would have normally gotten and then that grade is substituted a pass-not pass depending on what grade the instructor submitted.

A grade of D- or higher is considered passing and the student would get the credit with no effect to his or her GPA. If a student received an F, then he or she would not get the credit for the class, though no harm will be done to their GPA. In order for a student to change a course to pass-not pass, a student must have at least 40 credits and cannot

be on academic probation. The class can also not pertain to a student’s major, minor or designated area of concentration.

“The option is limited to elective classes,” said Jeffrey Blevins, associate professor and director of undergraduate education at the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication.

If a student is pon-

dering on whether on making a class passnot pass, he or she should consult with their adviser first.

“My advice to a student making that consideration would be to talk to their adviser,” said Dianne Rupp, associate registrar. “They are in a much better place to look at their overall academic re-

Chris Brown’s acting career is moving right along: The 22-yearold star, also appearing in Steve Harvey’s film “Think Like A Man,” has been cast alongside “Lost” actor Josh Holloway in “Planet B-Boy,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Production is underway for the film, which is based on the lauded documentary of the same name. “Jumping the Broom’s” Laz Alonso, Josh Peck (“Drake & Josh”) and Caity Lotz (“Mad Men”) also have been cast.

The doc “Planet B-Boy” focused on the international breakdancing community, and the plot for the fictional release follows the same idea. It’ll tell the story of an American group of b-boys who travel to France to compete in the Battle of the Year International Championships.

Defense to call last witness in trial of Jackson’s doctor

Jordan Batson, in charge of guest relations at Pine Cove summer camp; Tyler Kai, junior in event management; Christian Selby, sophomore in kinesiology and health; and Andrew Bacon, camp director at Pine Cove, play spike ball Thursday at the Memorial Union.

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson was “probably addicted” to a powerful painkiller given him during frequent visits to a Beverly Hills dermatologist in the three months before his death, a drug addiction specialist testified in Dr. Conrad Murray’s involuntary manslaughter trial Thursday.

Dr. Robert Waldmon was called by the defense in an effort to show Jackson’s insomnia the day he died could have been caused by withdrawal from Demerol shots he was given along with botox injections Murray didn’t know about.

Defense anesthesiology expert Dr. Paul White was set to testify Thursday afternoon in an effort to counter testimony from prosecution anesthesiologist Dr. Steven Shafer.

The defense hopes its last two witnesses will convince jurors that Jackson gave himself the overdose of drugs that killed him while Murray was not watching.

Soybeans could replace vaccination shots

By Jasmine.Qu @iowastatedaily.com A new method of giving vaccines could be readily available not through needles or other medical means, but rather by the food people eat on a day-to-day basis.

Given the choice of a needle in the arm and a bowl of fried soybean containing a vaccine, which would you prefer? Would you mind if it’s possible to take some vaccines subconsciously while you are eating?

Brice Floyd, graduate research assistant in plant biology, is testing a protein-expressing pathway in soybean seeds hoping it could work for a future edible vaccine.

“It’s been a problem for a while that no one knows how to package a foreign protein in soybean seeds so they can express a form of protein in a plant,” Floyd said. “People try to improve the protein content of soybeans by transgenics that has not really worked. If this experiment works, there are many applications down the road, including [edible] vaccines.”

Hartinio Nahampun, graduate student in agronomy, is already working on making edible vaccines in corn seed, made especially for the H1N1 virus for swine.

Nahampun introduced the expressed antigen by using a genetic engineering approach.

The antigen inserted in the corn plant has the potential to be utilized as a universal vaccine so it has the potential to reduce the epidemic

cords and determine what is best for them.”

Making a class pass-not pass won’t affect a student’s GPA, but it can have possible consequences later.

“Students need to know what their aspirations are for graduate school because having pass-not pass [credit] is handled differently in receiving schools,” Rupp said.

“Pass-not pass credits transfer differently to different schools and programs.”

Blevins suggested that students may want to think carefully about making a class pass-not pass.

“You don’t have to explain a grade when it’s not pass-not pass,” Blevins said. “A student may do better than they think, especially if it’s in the C range.”

tion because unlike the other two universities, 92 percent of UNI’s undergraduate students are Iowa residents.

He said 60 percent of UNI alumni stay in the state, as opposed to 39 percent of Iowa State’s.

Ultimately, Walrath said Northern Iowa is “underappreciated and undervalued by the state.”

Walrath suggested the regents re-evaluate the distribution of state funds and suggested Northern Iowa receive a greater share of appropriations.

“It’s a privilege to be here today, and I truly mean that,” Walrath told the Board of Regents.

“Because if I was a high school senior this year, I wouldn’t be able to afford to come here.”

Regent Ruth Harkin said she always has a hard time supporting tuition in-

creases, especially this year, because students and their families’ abilities to pay back the student loans is decreasing.

“One of the things we say every year, and we say to ourselves, is we really have to find a way to reduce this at some point,” Harkin said.

“We need to start thinking about a better business model than the one we have at the regents institutions.”

Regent Bruce Rastetter said the board needs to make sure cuts to the tune of $140 million stop, and articulated why education is an important investment to the state.

The regents will vote on tuition increases in December.

The board also approved Steven Leath’s contract at the meeting.

>>BLAZE.p1 “A pile of leaves caught fire,” Bogenschultz said.

The students said they told their roommate to call 911 and went outside.

The two realized the fire was getting bigger, so they ran inside and started knocking on people’s doors to tell them to leave.

A bike rack and the back side of the building apparently caught fire. The windows on the second and third floors were knocked out.

Eric Doll, senior in landscape architecture, said his apartment wasn’t burned, but he lost his bike in the fire.

Doll said he was allowed back in his room and he didn’t see any damage to his room, but said the ceiling was pretty burned up.

“There were actually flames in the two bedrooms. There was a fire inside of [my neighbor’s] bedrooms. I’m sure it ate up the beds and dressers they had,” Doll said. “The firemen were squirting water and breaking windows and everything is probably ruined.”

He said residents are not allowed to stay in the building because the fire hit some of the utilities and the electricity is out.

“I wouldn’t want to stay there anyways.

I was in there for five minutes and we had smoke in our lungs,” Doll said.

He said he talked to First Property Management, who own the building, and they

times require special storage conditions not readily available in third world countries.

For that, vaccines in plants easily solves this problem and makes the storage of vaccines much easier and protects the antigen from degradation.

However, vaccines in food supply is controversial. One reason is that edible vaccines are basically genetically modified, so people would be concerned about the contamination of nonGMO crops, affecting the environment and having risky consequences on human health. The biggest debate is that if someone wants it and grows the plants with vaccine randomly, there is no way to tell.

People also could get vaccines involuntarily.

There is no readily available way to discern corn and soybeans with vaccines in the plants from the natural plants, making it hard to regulate the practice.

Such a new method of giving vaccines may have unknown consequences. As Floyd said, the vaccination in food causes illness and death like any other vaccine. No matter how many lives might be saved by a vaccination, there are people who could die from the complication.

So far, positive results are shown on human tests of edible vaccines of hepatitis B and diarrhea. Most scientists are pro-GM, and many are working on the possibility of its actual application of the edible vaccine. But it would still take much time for the decision-makers and the society to be ready for this technology. said they were working on getting a hotel lined up for the people living in the building.

Doll said he was at home when the fire started.

“I heard a pop,” Doll said. “It was a tire from the bike rack ... I heard that and I didn’t think anything of it. The next thing I hear is someone saying 911. So I got up. I was going to take a nap, but I looked out the window. I ran out there barefoot and there was a 10-foot fire,” Doll said.

He said there was a giant pile of dried leaves that he believes caught fire first.

“It kind of sucks. ... I’m pretty sure it was someone smoking a cigarette,” Doll said.

The Ames Fire Department said they have an investigator looking into the cause of the fire, but it is still unkown.

Remorseful thief leaves victim with $20 after robbing Des Moines home

By Holly Ramer The Associated Press

Bachmann mails NH paperwork though Texas Rep. Ron Paul and Georgia businessman Herman Cain sent campaign workers instead.

Bachmann, who has been focused almost exclusively on Iowa, has visited New Hampshire twice since launching her campaign in late June.

But in an online campaign video posted Wednesday night, she told New Hampshire voters that there will be “many more” meetings.

“You are the ones who make this decision, and so I’m grateful to have this chance to be able to come to you now and thank you for the wonderful support you’ve given and to ask you to give even more,” she said.

“I’m asking for your best donation, and signing up to be a volunteer.”

CONCORD, N.H. — In keeping with the scant attention she has paid to New Hampshire, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann mailed her paperwork to get on the state’s presidential primary ballot instead of showing up in person or having someone else do it for her.

Though Bachmann could have signed up herself, sending a staffer wasn’t an option after all five of her paid New Hampshire staffers quit last week.

The workers complained that they were kept out of the loop of the campaign and treated rudely by her national campaign team.

Most of the major candidates have filed in person, al-

DES MOINES — A Des Moines woman has told police that one of two men who were robbing her at her home insisted that she would be left with some money.

According to Des Moines television station WHO, the woman was leaving her home Monday when she surprised the men as they were breaking into it.

They forced her back into the home, and one of them watched her while the other took her computer, a television and some money from the house. She was not injured during the robbery.

She told police that the crook who was watching her insisted that she be left with $20. She said he seemed apologetic for the break-in.

Des Moines Police Sgt. Chris Scott told the television station, “Maybe this was a gesture of, ‘I’m sorry I’m taking your stuff.’”

West, of Newark, Del., may have administered at least some of the fatal dose of Demerol that killed 41-yearold Mongar in November 2009, defense lawyer Michael Wallace said after the hearing.

However, he noted that she was the only clinic employee to accompany Mongar to the hospital as she was dying.

According to the grand jury report, West and co-defendant Lynda Williams overmedicated the 4-foot-11, 110-pound Mongar when Gosnell was not at the clinic. West then grabbed her medical file and rode to the hospital with Mongar’s family, who spoke little or no English.

“West told them that Mrs. Mongar was unconscious, but not to worry,” the grand jury report said.

The medical file was altered by the time hospital doctors got it, and “grossly underestimated” the amount of drugs the woman had received, the report said.

“She’s very sorry about the death of that young lady,” Wallace said Thursday. “She got caught up in a series of things (at the clinic) that probably she did not realize the significance of.” Seven others are still awaiting trial, including Gosnell and several others charged with murder.

who was 19 weeks pregnant.

Neither worker was trained or licensed for the work they did at the clinic run by Dr. Kermit Gosnell, authorities said.

Gosnell and nine employees, including his wife, were charged earlier this year after a grand jury report detailed the macabre conditions at the West Philadelphia clinic.

Gosnell, the only doctor, and other staff are accused of performing illegal late-term abortions and killing babies born alive by severing their spinal cords with scissors.

Gosnell, who denies the allegations, is being held on $2 million bail.

Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams called the clinic a “house of horrors” in announcing the charges in January.

Moton, of Upper Darby, knew Gosnell through his niece. She worked evenings to assist with abortions, but, like the others, had no relevant training or license. She assisted with procedures and cut the spinal cords of aborted babies, the grand jury report said.

Moton and West each pleaded guilty to related charges, including taking part in a corrupt organization. West also pleaded guilty to drug delivery causing death.

Study: Aspirin can reduce cancer in high-risk patients

By Maria Cheng The Associated Press LONDON — People with a genetic condition that puts them at increased risk of colon cancer may lower their chance of developing the disease by taking daily aspirin, a study suggests.

The finding, however, doesn’t apply to the general public, since aspirin can have side effects such as gastrointestinal bleeding.

The 861 people in the British study had Lynch syndrome, a rare, inherited disorder that puts them at high risk for cancers including those of the colon.

The condition accounts for about 3 to 5 percent of colon cancer cases.

Previous research had suggested that aspirin could help prevent colon cancer in that group.

In the latest study, people were assigned to take 600 milligrams of aspirin daily — about two regular strength aspirin — or dummy pills.

After more than four years of follow-up, the study didn’t find a significant difference in how many people in each group developed their first colon cancer.

But they did see one when they looked at long-term participants who regularly took their pills for at least two years. Among the 258 people on aspirin, there were 10 colon cancer cases. That compares to 23 cases in the 250 people on dummy pills. Rates of side effects like bleeding and ulcers in the stomach were similar in both groups.

“This is good news for a very specific population,” said Asad Umar, a cancer prevention expert at the U.S. National Cancer Institute who was not linked to the study.

He said the finding could apply to about 15 percent of colon cancer patients who have genetic defects similar to Lynch syndrome.

But Umar warned aspirin should only be recommended for people at high risk for colon cancer.

“We’re not ready to say aspirin is useful for the general public,” he said. “There are still a lot of toxicity concerns.”

The paper was published Friday in the journal Lancet. It was paid for by groups including the European Union, Cancer Research U.K., Bayer Corporation, the original maker of aspirin, and others.

Newcastle University’s Dr. John Burn, the study’s chief investigator, reported receiving a speaker’s fee from Bayer last year.

Bonner The Associated Press BOISE, Idaho — A University of Idaho professor who committed suicide after killing a graduate student he had dated previously talked about shooting students in his classroom and was targeted in a complaint alleging he was engaging in “sex orgies” with students, according to newly released documents.

The slain graduate student, Katy Benoit, 22, complained to university officials in June that assistant psychology professor Ernesto Bustamante had pointed a gun at her three times. Benoit was urged to take safety precautions and go to police.

Another student evaluating Bustamante last fall complained his teaching was erratic and that he had discussed shooting students. In December, a complaint called into a university hotline accused Bustamante of having sex with students and coercing one into having sex with him and others.

University officials have defended their response to Benoit’s complaint, saying they contacted Moscow police immediately after she came forward. They told law enforcement that a student had been involved in a domestic violence issue but did not detail Benoit’s allegations, including claims she was threatened with a gun.

Benoit “did not want us to discuss the allegations in her complaint with police and we honored her wishes,” the university said in a statement Thursday.

University spokeswoman Tania Thompson said under school policy, Bustamante first had a chance to respond to the complaint, which he was served in early July after university officials received permission from Benoit.

“He, at that point, has a right to respond to those allegations,” Thompson said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Bustamante denied Benoit’s allegations and told administrators that they had a friendship that had dissolved

after she stole prescription pills from him. Benoit later told university officials she “screwed up” the relationship by stealing the pills, but she was really scared after he threatened her with a gun.

Bustamante resigned his position effective Aug. 19, and three days later, police said he shot Benoit nearly a dozen times outside her Moscow home.

Bustamante committed suicide in a hotel room shortly after shooting Benoit and was found with six guns and medications for bipolar disorder and severe anxiety, police said.

Bustamante, who had been known to alternately refer to himself as a “psychopathic killer” and “the beast,” disclosed he took medication for bipolar disorder shortly after he was hired in 2007.

As early as the fall of his first semester, three or four students went to psychology department chairman Ken Locke to express concerns about Bustamante’s behavior, saying he was “flirtatious” and showed favoritism to

students.

Benoit had met Bustamante in the fall of 2010 when she took a psychology course he was teaching, and by the end of the semester, they were dating.

During student evaluations of Bustamante that fall, another student complained about the professor’s behavior.

“He talked about shooting students, which was disturbing, and implied that he was (and we should be) drunk and high every other day,” said the student, who is not identified in the teaching evaluations.

The university acknowledged that certain items in the documents, including this student’s comment, were troublesome in hindsight.

“In this case, the department chair did discuss with Bustamante his concerns regarding comments he had received from students about

his classroom behavior,” the university said in a statement.

In December 2010, Bustamante met with administrators to discuss a complaint that an anonymous caller put into a university hotline, saying Bustamante was having sexual relationships with students. The call reported that one of these relationships had become mentally abusive and the student had been coerced by Bustamante into having sex with other people.

“They have also gotten into sexual orgies,” the caller said, according to a copy of the hotline complaint.

The student at the center of the abuse allegations was not Benoit and denied that Bustamante had exhibited improper behavior, refusing to file a complaint against him. Bustamante denied any violations of university policy during a Dec. 13meeting with university administrator.

The student’s name was not mentioned during the meeting, but she later informed administrators that Bustamante had called her immediately afterward and warned her that the dean of the college might make inquiries regarding a sexual harassment complaint.

Benoit’s relationship with Bustamante ended in May, after he put a gun to her head a third time and told her how he would use it to kill her.

He had informed the chairman of his department April 30 that was experiencing withdrawal symptoms due to a change in his medication.

Benoit’s family did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment Thursday.

A judge on Oct. 3 ordered Bustamante’s personnel records released after the university, Idaho newspapers, the Idaho Press Club and the AP petitioned the court to rule they were a matter of public record.

High school

Ohio gym teacher convicted in student sex case The Associated Press LEBANON, Ohio — A high school teacher was convicted Thursday of having sex with five students, some of them football players, after an Ohio judge rejected an insanity defense that argued the teens took advantage of her.

Stacy Schuler was sentenced to a total of four years in prison for the encounters with the Mason High School students at her home in Springboro in southwest Ohio in 2010. She can ask a judge to free her from prison after six months.

The 33-year-old Schuler, who could have faced decades in prison, cried as she was handcuffed and led out of the courtroom.

The five teens testified that Schuler, a health and gym teacher, had been drinking alcohol at the time of the encounters and was a willing participant who initiated much of the contact. The teens were about 17 at the time. The age of consent in Ohio is 16, but it’s illegal for a teacher to have sex with a student.

“This is a noble profession that you have, and I’ve heard a lot of good things about you, but I know that you had the opportunity, as all teachers do, to affect the lives of our children,” Warren County Common Pleas Judge Robert Peeler said. “You crossed a line.”

Schuler’s lawyers argued that she had medical and psychological issues and couldn’t remember the encounters.

Before sentencing Schuler on 16 counts of sexual battery and three counts of providing alcohol to a minor, the judge said it would be a “magnificent leap” to believe she didn’t know her actions were wrong.

Schuler didn’t testify during the four-day nonjury trial, and she and her attorneys declined to address the judge before he sentenced her.

But parents of two of the teen victims made tearful statements.

A father spoke of his son’s depression and lost motivation and said the teen almost didn’t go to college. He asked the judge to hand down a sentence to send a message that Schuler’s acts are not acceptable and there are serious consequences.

“It impacts the teaching community as a whole, how a single teacher who made the wrong decision multiple times overshadows 99.9 percent of the teachers that truly do care, not pretend to care, about their students,” he said.

A mother said her son turned to and trusted Schuler during an extremely low period when his father had cancer and related health problems.

“These young men may appear as if they are tough guys, but in reality, they are truly hurting,” she said.

“She took advantage of their vulnerability. She crossed the line and it is unacceptable.”

Assistant prosecutor Teresa Hiett further pointed out to the judge how the teens have been affected, noting that Mason High School was shut down for the week of the trial because “everyone’s been trying to figure out who these five boys were.”

Editorial

Group projects belong outside classroom

If you’ve been walking across campus between Hamilton and Catt halls or along Farmhouse Lane at all the past week, you’ve probably noticed all that goes with constructing a new building — the chain-link fence, gravel, excavating equipment and hard hats are all tell-tale signs that work on Troxel Hall has begun.

Increasing enrollment in large lecture classes in all departments means that older lecture halls are insufficient. Larger capacities, such as Troxel Hall’s seating space for 400 students, are necessary. In designing the building, practical needs were combined with commendable efforts to do our part and damage the environment less.

But among the window spaces that will account for 75 percent of daytime lighting, energy-efficient windows, reflective roof and system for purifying rainwater before it becomes groundwater, one of the Hall’s selling points has been its chairs. Like the ones in LeBaron 1210, they are supposed to facilitate group activity.

When was the last time you heard from someone who enjoyed group projects? Normally, one student ends up doing everything out of a nearpsychotic need for control, or because nobody else is contributing, or the result is a mediocre project because nobody considered anything beyond their own part of the project’s division of labor.

Our world’s interconnectedness means that dealing with other people and being cooperative is an ordinary part of our lives. But should that fact of life mean that group activities become part of time in class?

We think not. Important teaching time is wasted by devoting parts of lectures to grouping students together, setting them to work and restoring order from the resulting chaos.

There seems to be a general attitude among students that their hands will be held through college and they’ll be given everything they need to succeed, but they won’t. They certainly won’t once they’ve reached the real world.

It is up to students to take care of themselves and do their work.

Devoting time in lecture to group work, just like remedial instruction when the whole class meets, is a waste of time.

If students were interested in getting all they can out of their tuition dollars, they’d demand that lectures be lectures instead of something else.

Why should professors take time away from imparting knowledge to paying students?

They shouldn’t. Some professors insist on holding their students as long a possible — until the clock runs out on their appointed time. We won’t mention any names but, if you ask their students, those are the best professors on campus.

Space

Reach for the stars Photo courtesy of Flickr Spending money on space projects such as the Hubble Space Telescope (above) and the James Webb Space Telescope is important for NASA development and space innovation. Even a partial funding of the James Webb project would cause a multi-year setback for astronomers worldwide.

Government must fund James Webb project

Y

ears ago, astronomers dreamed up an amazing instrument that would be able to see 13 billion years into the past, just a short hop past the big bang (13.7 billion years back). It would orbit around the sun, held in place by both the sun and earth’s gravity at a point where it would be tugged along behind us while remaining a discreet 1.5 million kilometers away. This observatory would be the Hubble’s big brother with a 50 percent bigger mirror and a bunch of advanced features like a sun-shield and the ability to run its sensors at a frigid -388 degrees Fahrenheit.

They named this beast of a telescope the James Webb Space Telescope and after more than $3 billion dollars has already been spent on its construction, the United States House of Representatives is fighting to cancel the whole program. Yes, that’s right; they want to throw away $3 billion dollars of work because they are too worried about tightening belts in Washington to allow NASA to make any science-changing discoveries.

I wanted to write today a follow-up to my column last week on innovation, by writing about why “big science” like that done by the Hubble space telescope is important even when you don’t understand what the benefits are going to be today.

As I alluded to last week, “big science” projects — anything from the James Webb to the Superconducting Super Collider to the Manhattan Project — are vitally important to our country. We did not become the most technologically advanced nation in the world by accident or by mistake. Our grandfathers and great-grandfathers made some important decisions in their day to take on big bets to win the war in Europe and later to win the Cold War with the Soviet Union.

By Rick.Hanton @iowastatedaily.com They pumped money into science and education as well as the military because they knew that it would be better to have a nimble, technologically advanced army, navy and air force than to maintain a large but primitive group of soldiers. They wrote brilliant men a blank check to develop the most cutting edge technology the world had ever seen.

While big technology and science programs had major applications in the wars of the day, they had a much bigger impact that was never planned. They sparked revolutions in the materials, technology and data fields as their brilliant designers searched for good solutions to tricky problems. In one instance, you can consider what might have happened if NASA had not needed thousands of brand new, hardly tested integrated circuits to be made for its spacecraft computers. Without NASA’s effort to prove and use a cutting edge technology like this, the computer revolution might have taken years longer to come to fruition.

Now, of course all of this innovation of the ‘50s and ‘60s didn’t come cheap. At the time, corporate taxes were more than 50 percent and personal taxes were well above 80 percent.

But it could be argued that we are still reaping the benefits of the education and technology that was the focus of that time. Today, when our tax structure only collects half as much of our money in taxes, it only makes sense that we can do only half as much education and science work. (Unfortunately the military never quite got that memo — their cost-cutting in the 1990s was interrupted by Sept. 11, 2001.)

But I don’t understand why when we spend more than $700 billion per year on defense and still manage to lose shipments of billions in cash in Middle-East war zones, we can’t spend a measly $5 billion in the next seven years to build the most powerful space telescope ever.

This is a program that is paying for highly skilled jobs all around the country and could allow us to take a look at planets orbiting distant stars. Yes, it doesn’t produce massive numbers of low-paying jobs, and I’m sure NASA’s lobbyists/administrators aren’t as good as those employed by large corporations, but NASA isn’t throwing money down a hole. It is investing in the future and in yet-unknown discoveries.

Yes, NASA made some mistakes. As noted

by Dr. Pamela Gay at a recent event, one of NASA’s biggest faults with James Webb was to allow astronomers to put together a budget on their own. As she noted, astronomers are good at studying stars and not so good at budgeting.

Some of the ballooning cost of NASA’s new space telescope was added recently when it realized nobody had added an operations budget to the overall cost of the James Webb (oops!).

In the end, we all make mistakes and NASA is working to correct theirs. But will it be enough?

The Senate and House are working to resolve their different perspectives on the program. The Senate voted to fully fund the JWST in 2012 and the House voted to defund it. So while they work to reconcile the bills, I urge you to talk to your representatives and make sure they don’t cut James Webb. Even a partial funding of the program for a year would cause a multi-year setback for astronomers worldwide.

It’s a question of whether we want to make the brilliant discoveries of tomorrow in the sky or bury our heads in the sand. You choose.

Campus

Choose your elective classes wisely I t’s about time to register for next semester and, while everyone needs electives, there’s not really a good place to go for advice, especially if you want to know which classes are easier than others. As a senior graduating in December, I feel like I need to pass on my experience to all future generations before I die off, or at least graduate.

Environmental Studies 324 (Energy and the Environment) — Easy A: Yes. This class is taught by the wonderful Dr. William Simpkins.

He’s an environmentalist and drives a Prius. You might even get the chance to drive it, on one of the several field trips you go on in this class. The information in this class is really important, and it’s actually a really fun class. The tests are super easy if you even pay the slightest attention, and touring the ISU power plant and the ethanol plant in Nevada is easily worth taking the class.

Human Development & Family Studies 283 (Personal & Family Finance) — Easy A: Yes. This class should be required to graduate. With financial issues being a leading cause of divorce, it just makes sense to have every

By John.Andrus @iowastatedaily.com ISU graduate have a basic understanding of everything financial.

This class covers everything from banking, stocks, mutual funds and bond markets, to insurance. It’s something everyone should know, so do yourself a favor and take it as an elective.

Economics 101 & 102 online (Micro and Macro Economics) — Easy A: Yes. I suggest taking the online versions of both of these, as the website they use is pretty incredible. You can do all of your assignments (one per week) on the site, including an easy-to-use graphing tool. The assignments follow your book exactly and the test questions are basically wordfor-word from the optional review on the site. Here’s the thing about the open-book format of these classes: The amount that I learned and retained from these classes has to be in the top five of all my

classes at Iowa State. I wish that all the other professors that taught online classes took notes from Dr. Lisa Gundersen, who teaches the online version of these classes.

Highly recommended.

Political Science 215 (American Government) — Easy A: Yes. This class is another one similar to HDFS 283, it should probably be required of all students. If you go to class and pay attention, you’ll do well, and the information is important. It covers everything about American government, including political parties, voting, the Constitution and important topical discussions. Dr. Steffen Schmidt is very knowledgeable and really passionate about the subject, which makes the class infinitely more enjoyable.

Religious studies class taught

by Hector Avalos — Easy A: No. Saying Dr. Avalos is a knowledgeable professor is an understatement. He definitely knows his stuff. As a internationally known atheist and author, he will definitely challenge your religious beliefs. If you’re a Christian, don’t go to one of his classes expecting the same interpretations you get from Salt Company or church.

However, if you’re up for the challenge, Dr. Avalos has a lot of challenge to offer. He’s also very personable and approachable.

Wild card: Art History 489 (The History of Sequential Art [comics!]) — Easy A: No. In the College of Design, Dr. John Cunnally is known for the massive amounts of work in his classes. The problem is this ... it’s all really interesting, and he’s a really good teacher. I hadn’t ever opened a comic book in my life before taking this class, and while the work was, at times, burdensome, it was never boring. If Dr. Cunnally is offering this class in the future, you should be taking it.

Certainly there are many interesting classes out there and the best way to find them is talking to people. Ask upperclassmen in your dorm or house for interesting classes. Don’t waste your precious electives on things you’re not interested in. Your regular classes are hard enough without the drain of a class you hate.

Recycling cans, bottles saves energy

By Ashlee.Clark @iowastatedaily.com

Thanks to www.sustain.ucla.edu, with a few facts, you can save a little energy and perhaps earn a few dollars after your weekend escapades.

Energy saved from recycling one aluminum could operate a computer or TV for three hours and a six-pack saves enough energy to drive a car five miles.

The energy saved from recycling aluminum in 1993 alone was enough to light a city the size of Pittsburgh for six years.

Glass never wears out — it can be recycled forever.

One glass bottle saves enough energy to power a 400-watt light bulb for four hours.

It takes an aluminum can 90 years and a glass bottle 1 million years to biodegrade in a landfill.

Producing a soda can from recycled aluminum uses 96 percent less energy than manufacturing a can from ore, and produces 95 percent less air pollution and 97 percent less water pollution.

One ton of aluminum saves the equivalent in energy of 2,350 gallons of gasoline. This is equivalent to the amount of electricity used by the typical home over a period of 10 years.

Go green for Halloween, go to Goodwill

By Taylor.Hilsabeck @iowastatedaily.com Are you looking for a last-minute Halloween costume, but don’t want to spend your money on a high-priced ensemble you will only wear once?

Students are discovering inexpensive and recyclable options at Goodwill located near campus on 3718 Lincoln Way. Robyn White, retail director at Goodwill Industries, said with the seasons changing, October is one of the busiest times of the year for Goodwill. Many students are stocking up on low-cost, recycled apparel, including Halloween costumes.

Choosing to shop at Goodwill is not only saving you cash, it allows you to create a one-of-a-kind costume that is sure to be a hit. In browsing the racks, there are endless possibilities: ‘80s wear, Lady Gaga, zombie or cowboy/girl. If you would rather sport a traditional costume, Goodwill also has a selection of recycled costumes, as well as props, such as masks, wigs, assortments of hats, jackets and jewelry to spice up any outfit.

Paige Bolton selected an environmentally friendly costume this year. “After spending only a few minutes exploring the store for ideas, I came up with so many options, it became almost hard to narrow them down,” said Bolton, senior in family and consumer sciences education and studies.

“But it was also a fun time spent with friends and dressing up, plus it felt good to save money.”

If anyone is under the wire needing a costume, Goodwill is extending its hours until 8 p.m.

The family operates a store that sells apples, cider and a variety of other organic products they produce.

Adel orchard stands out

By Ashlee.Clark and Meg.Grissom @iowastatedaily.com

Driving though the countryside of Adel, Iowa, you will pass a number of signs for various family-owned businesses. Then, about a mile and a half through the peaceful greenery, a sign can be found for Wills Family Orchard, an organic apple orchard and pumpkin patch.

Once you pull past the sign and into the driveway, you will park your car in an old hayfield.

Settled into the colorful and tranquil scenery of autumn leaves on a clear fall day sits picnic tables and yard games. Around them, a corn maze and a large pumpkin patch

are open for visitors, friends or newcomers.

This is no ordinary orchard, though. Owner Maury Wills describes his family’s orchard as “off the beaten path” as he points to the trail that wraps around their 32 acres of land. But Wills is not only referring to their simple, rustic abode. He is also speaking of the 20 years of hard work his family has put into the land and dedication to using organic practices.

Will, his wife and six children, ranging from adult to 7 years old, all do their part to run a successful business. The family bought the land in 1991, without knowing what it was going to do with it. After researching, they decided they were going to plant apple

trees and established Wills Family Orchard in 1992.

Eventually, after word-ofmouth publicity, they were selling a few apples out of their kitchen.

As their reputation grew, so did their store, as they begin selling on their front porch, then to their garage, then to a breezeway and finally a red barn that serves as their store today.

Since opening the orchard almost 20 years ago, the family has purchased more land and added a pumpkin patch and a corn maze. They now also grow squash, gourds, pears and peaches in addition to the 15 varieties of apples. But all of this growth does not come without its challenges.

In 2000, the orchard became cer-

tified organic, which means the land needs to be free of prohibited chemicals for three years.

Wills knows what it takes to manage a sustainable orchard.

Some of his methods include knowing which chemicals have been approved to use, how to protect his produce from deer, insects and diseases. He also practices sustainability by using prunings to mulch around their trees rather than burning them.

Wills wanted this orchard to be simple and relaxing where people could enjoy being outside for a day.

This orchard stands out from the rest with not only the simplicity and family-oriented environment, but also with his sustainable background and organic practices.

Food at First tackles hunger

By Matt.Nosco @iowastatedaily.com Food issues experts such as Jonathan Foley, of the University of Minnesota, often cite two major figures when discussing food security in the world: One out of every seven people are going hungry, and 30 to 40 percent of the food produced is wasted. Foley, who delivered a guest lecture at ISU entitled “Feeding the World, Sustaining the Planet,” conceded that the current food supply is more than enough to sustain the world’s current population.

An Ames program, Food at First, works locally to tackle waste and hunger issues. The program, which began in 2004, is part of a new movement of “perishable” food kitchens and pantries. The program consists of four major groups of volunteers: food gathering (or gleaning), food preparation, marketing and fundraising.

Volunteers glean soon-to-expire food from local sources like Walmart, restaurants and ISU Dining. The program also receives produce from local commodity and organic farmers, with a recent receipt of roughly 4,500 ears of sweet corn, for example. Such produce can’t be used at once, so volunteers

gathered and processed the corn before freezing it to be used throughout the year.

“We’ve been doing this for several years and it just keeps growing,” said gleaner Bernie White. “Companies are beginning to realize that the liability is less important than using this food and not throwing it away. [They] told me that, ‘Before we started, it always ended up in the Dumpster,’ and it really broke their hearts.”

From there, the food goes to First United Methodist Church’s kitchen for storage or preparation. Other than on Wednesdays, volunteers come in every night to prepare meals for the public.

“Thursday night is our biggest night of the week and we usually serve around 100 people,” said Chris Martin, a cook who has been working with Food at First for around a year. “The average for the other nights is usually 50 or more.

“Almost everything that goes into our meals comes from perishable food donations. All of that meat was going to be thrown out, but it was

still perfectly good.”

Aside from a fresh, hot meal, other perishable items are available to bring home. These include everything from bread and fruit to the eggsalad sandwiches that students pay upwards of $3 for at one of the university’s cafes.

The program’s commitment toward reducing waste runs from the beginning to the end of their process.”What food does go south, we have a partner that picks it up and feeds it to his livestock, so we’re recycling it right down to the brass tax,” Martin said.

The program serves dinner Sunday through Friday, with the exception of Wednesday, from 5:30 to 6:15 p.m. and serves lunch on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.

Meals are served at the First United Methodist Church. They also operate a perishable food pantry twice a week. The “Free Market” pantry is located at 116 N. Sherman Ave. and operates Mondays and Thursdays from 4 to 4:30 p.m.

Cyclones vie for an upset Rhoads reunites with old boss Tuberville

CYCLONES PREPARE FOR WEEKEND SERIES iowastatedaily.com

Women’s Golf:

Improvement is main goal in final fall tournament

By Mark Schafer Daily staff writer The ISU women’s golf team is one tournament away from wrapping up the fall season.

While the fall schedule has no impact on the team’s Big 12 season, which will start in the spring, assistant coach Pina Gentile said it is still important for the golfers to stay in shape and compete during the fall.

“It is important for us to continue to participate in tournaments before the season starts so we can know what areas of the game each player needs help on,” Gentile said. “Our season doesn’t start until next semester, so we usually learn a lot in the fall.”

This fall, the ISU women’s golf team has competed in four tournaments so far and is preparing for its final tournament of the semester, the Landfall Tradition on Friday through Sunday.

“We’ve had a couple of rough tournaments, so finishing in the top five was good for us,” said senior Kristin Paulson. “We are looking to improve for the last tournament this fall.”

The Cyclones are coming off a fourth-place finish at their last tournament, the Lady Northern Intercollegiate, which tied their best finish of the fall season.

Men’s Golf:

Team prepares for challenge as fall season comes to end

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com As one of four coaches to emerge into a head position from under Tommy Tuberville, Paul Rhoads has a lot to be grateful for from his former boss.

After a 52-38 win last year in Ames, the third-year ISU coach will again have a shot at beating Tuberville’s Texas Tech team at 6 p.m.

Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, Texas.

“He has done and he’ll continue to do a great job, but we’ll have our hands full,” Tuberville said of Rhoads at a news conference Monday. “He’ll have them fired up and ready to play and try to bring the same scenario of what we did last week.”

The Cyclones (3-4, 0-4 Big 12) are under the first four-game losing streak under Rhoads, who said he learned a lot from Tuberville’s coaching style in his year coaching under him at Auburn.

“He really allowed the coaches to coach and didn’t meddle at all,” Rhoads said of Tuberville. “You had full authority with what it was that you were doing. That allowed you to really pour everything that you had into it and never worry about second-guessing.”

The Red Raiders (5-2, 2-2) are coming off a 42-38 upset win against then-No. 3 Oklahoma last Saturday in Norman, Okla.

Iowa State has had its share of upset victories and knows the aftereffects of one.

“I bet they’re exhausted,” said redshirt sophomore safety Jacques Washington. “It’s a hit and a miss, some guys are ready after a big win and some guys are a little conceited.”

Iowa State approaches end of regular season

By Brian Spaen Daily staff writer After a week off from tournament play, the ISU men’s golf team will be traveling back to the East Coast to finish the fall portion of its season.

The Cyclones will be going to Greensboro, N.C., to play in the Bridgestone Golf Collegiate.

Forest Oaks Country Club hosts the tournament.

ISU coach Andrew Tank brings some experience to the course as he has previously coached in this tournament while he was coach at Minnesota.

“It’s a little bit like the course at [Daufuskie Island,] S.C., but mostly like the course at [Richmond, Va.],” Tank said.

Tank said he believes Forest Oaks is a “pretty straightforward golf course” but it will give the players a very good test.

“The greens [are] pretty well guarded by sand traps,” Tank said. “Being aggressive off the tee to get to the greens is important.”

The only inconsistency for the team has been wild scores from round to round by a few golfers, making the count scores higher than the team wants. The coaches have put an emphasis on limiting mistakes and playing smart for this tournament.

“If you’re playing smart from the fairway, you will give yourself birdie opportunities,” Tank said.

“If not, you can leave the ball at tough spots around the green that would make it difficult to get the ball up and down.”

Defense gears up for Texas rematch

By David.Merrill @iowastatedaily.com The Cyclones took Texas to five sets before dropping the match when the teams faced earlier in the season.

When No. 14 Iowa State (17-3, 8-1 Big 12) plays No. 9 Texas (14-4, 8-1) in the rematch Friday in Austin, Texas, a different script will be tough to write.

“They’re better than they were when they played us here,” said coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “They have a different lineup than when they played us here. They’re more athletic.

I know that place is going to be packed, so I think that will tell us a lot.”

After beating Kansas, Iowa State finds itself tied with Texas for the Big 12 regular season lead. Texas kept pace with the Cyclones by knocking off Missouri in a 3-0 sweep in its previous contest, coming in on a sixgame win streak.

In the previous meeting in Hilton, junior middle back Jamie Straube led the Cyclones with 17 kills and three block assists. Senior outside hitter Carly Jenson also was impressive for the Cyclones, recording 14 kills and 16 digs in the loss.

Freshman outside hitter Haley Eckerman, a Waterloo, Iowa, native, was a thorn in the Cyclones’ side during the last matchup. Eckerman recorded 21 kills and five digs on the match. She averaged just more than

four kills per set.

“We’re going to have to put pressure on them serving, and then we might try some blocking schemes against her just to put a little bit more pressure on her,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Really, we just have to play great defense, so we cannot afford to look at any balls. “ Jenson said she feels that the defense has improved since the past meeting between the two teams.

“We just have to try to slow her down,” Jenson said. “She hits over our block a lot, but our defense has been better, so hopefully we can dig her up.”

Blocking will be a key theme yet again for the Cyclones, who are ranked third in the Big 12 with 2.52 per set and are going up against the conference’s best offense. The Longhorns have a .319 average against Big 12 foes.

The Longhorns’ blocking game is impressive in its own right, giving up a league-low 10.69 kills per set. This will force the Cyclones to hit over and around their blocks.

This will be especially difficult due to the fact that Texas is one of the taller teams in the Big 12.

“We’re all so excited,” Straube said. “I think ever since that loss here, it’s in been in the back of our mind, you know, we take care of every match along the way. But we’re ready for that next shot against Texas, so I think everyone will be ready to go.”

Iowa State will travel to face Missouri in a Friday night game that could possibly determine whether or not the team will head to the Big 12 tournament.

ISU coach Wendy Dillinger said the team will have to correct the uncharacteristic mistakes it made in the loss against Kansas if it wants to have a shot of advancing to the postseason.

“We weren’t tackling, [freshman] Lindsay [Frank] slid one time in the whole game,” Dillinger said.

“In a game where they are coming at us, you have to play more physically than that. You have to slide tackle and you have to challenge and we just didn’t.

“ T h a t ’ s what has got to change.”

Another match to keep an eye on is the contest between Oklahoma Dillinger and Kansas in Lawrence, Kan., on Friday at 3 p.m.

Oklahoma and Iowa State each currently have a 1-6 conference Morgan record and are vying for the No. 8 seed in the Big 12 tournament.

Men’s, women’s teams ready for Big 12 race

By Caitlyn.Diimig @iowastatedaily.com

The ISU men’s and women’s cross-country teams will be competing in the Big 12 Championships in College Station, Texas, on Saturday.

After placing third for the past two years, the women’s team is a contender for the championship title and the individual title as well.

“We’ve got three young ladies that have a chance at the individual title, but in all reality I don’t think any of them really care,” said coach Corey Ihmels. “They could be third, fourth, and fifth, and if we win the team title they’ll be happy.”

Seniors Dani Stack and Meaghan Nelson and junior Betsy Saina have consistently been the top three scorers for Iowa State.

“I would be so excited if we have the three of us in the top seven,” Saina said.

Saina placed second last year with a time of 20:18.55 for the

6,000-meter course.

Saina said no other team has three girls as fast as Stack, Nelson and herself, but does believe there is a chance for Texas to sneak in its five fastest women between Iowa State’s third and fourth runners, making it a close race.

“You don’t want to lose a conference title over a couple of points,” Ihmels said. “But that’s maybe what it might be this weekend.”

With Colorado leaving the Big 12 for Pac-12 last July, the Cyclones will have an even better shot at winning the title. Last year, Colorado took second place, while Texas Tech took first.

“Tech’s not maybe as potent as they have been the last couple of years,” Ihmels said.

The men’s team is also looking for redemption from last year’s meet, in which it placed fifth.

“I think we’ve got a shot to do better than fifth,” Ihmels said.

If someone is covered, he’s going to find the next guy that’s open.”

Doege is also averaging 372.6 passing yards per game, a league best through seven games.

For the ISU offense, redshirt freshman Jared Barnett will take the reins from Steele Jantz for his first start at quarterback. Last week, Barnett finished 16-of-36 in pass completions for 180 yards and no touchdowns.

However, with a first-quarter performance of 6-of-8 pass completions having driven the team down the field for an early scoring drive, the ISU coaching staff has confidence in Barnett and the poise he has shown.

“It’s always been there,” Rhoads said of Barnett’s poise. “But just because you’re poised doesn’t mean you have the experience or the talent to be ‘the guy’ and that still shows at times. But right now, he’s shown plenty to be the guy as we head toward this Saturday’s game.”

Running back James White, who scored a 19-yard touchdown run in the first-

quarter scoring drive orchestrated by Barnett, said Barnett’s efficiency has given them reason to be optimistic for getting an offense going that has stumbled in past weeks.

“Him and Steele, they’re battling every day and that’s a good thing,” White said.

“There is a competition at the quarterback position so they can both be prepared for the situation.”

As for Rhoads, however, looking for a second straight win against his former boss will not yield an extravagant game plan.

“Is there extra motivation to beat him? Is there extra time spent in here preparing because of that?

No,” Rhoads said of facing Tuberville. “This is our eighth football game and we need to play well to have an opportunity to win.”

The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net with kickoff slated for 6 p.m.

For Iowa State to advance to the Big 12 tournament, it has to win at Missouri on Friday with Oklahoma losing or drawing against Kansas.

The Cyclones also could qualify for the tournament if they draw against Missouri and the Sooners are defeated by Kansas.

Ihmels said sophomore Martin Coolidge and senior Rico Loy need to place in the top 10 in order to out-do last year’s finish.

“Me and Marty [Coolidge] have to run together again,” Loy said.

At the Wisconsin Invite, Loy and Coolidge were leading for Iowa State together until the 5,000-meter mark

feated by Missouri or if Oklahoma defeats Kansas.

Sophomore forward Brittany Morgan said that for the Cyclones to be successful, the team will need to come out with more of a sense of urgency and have a “nothing to lose” attitude.

“This is our last game and everything is on the line,” Morgan said. “We just can’t come out the way we did on Sunday or we will get the same results we did on Sunday.”

Last season, the Cyclones defeated the Tigers 5-0 in Ames, and Morgan said there

Coolidge placed 28th while Loy ended up placing 107th.
