Senior linebacker Jake Knott will be out for the remainder of the regular season, ISU coach Paul Rhoads confirmed Monday. Knott, who started 33 consecutive games at Will linebacker, was having shoulder surgery in Chicago on Monday that could possibly mean the end of one of the most illustrious and beloved careers in ISU history. “He’s special to me because he was the first guy that I got a commitment from as the head football coach,” Rhoads said of Knott at his weekly
news conference. “That was a special day in his life and his family’s life, and he’s never forgotten that. “All those things make this relationship and my view of him as a player probably a little bit different than some of the others.” Rhoads said the injury Knott sustained against Oklahoma State on Oct. 20 was different from the tear of the labrum in his left shoulder, but Rhoads did not know enough about it to be able to expound upon it and its extent.

Students launch careers with NASA Aero engineers land internships at space agency By Mike.Randleman @iowastatedaily.com Two ISU students experienced an opportunity of a lifetime this summer when they took internships with NASA. Michaela Antolak and Matthew Thompson, both seniors in aerospace engineering, discussed with the Daily on how they landed these professional
opportunities. “I applied online at NASA OSSI: Solar — I had been applying to internships and co-ops at NASA since my freshman year,” Antolak said. “So after so many years of not getting anything, I was extremely happy to land an internship there.” Thompson has also exemplified a persistent attitude by doing things to “distinguish myself from other engineers that were applying to these internships.” To do so, he “participated in one of the make-to-innovate groups, CySat, where we are working on building
a satellite and sending it into orbit,” Thompson said. He also attributed his success to taking as many applicable classes possible and applying for as many internships as possible, including NASA. Upon landing these prestigious positions, the two discussed where their respective paths took them next. Antolak was placed at Jacobs Technology, a contractor for NASA, for a 10week internship. She said Jacobs Technology was so im-

St. Thomas Aquinas moves on after fire Church leaders expect February reopening
Inside:
Students needing a caffeine jolt or a sweet treat to get through their day will soon have a new place to get it. Dunkin’ Donuts will be opening a new store at 2650 Lincoln Way. Every college student has experienced the late-night cramming for an exam or an early morning lecture that could put anyone to sleep. The only thing that keeps students going is simple caffeine. From pop to coffee, students have found ways to keepthemselves going on no matter how little sleep they got the night before. Dunkin’ Donuts is planning on helping students conquer the task of staying awake. “Dunkin’ Donuts has applied for the building and is planning on beginning their remodeling sometime in the next few weeks,” said Shana Perkins, employee of Ames Economic Development Commission.
By Gibson.Akers @iowastatedaily.com A little more than a month after a night-time fire broke out at St. Thomas Aquinas Church & Catholic
Student Center, the church has begun to pick up the pieces. The fire broke out Sept. 25 in the upper level of the church close to the sanctuary. Most of the fire damage was contained to a small area. However, the sanctuary suffered major smoke damage. The Rev. Jim Dubert estimated
the fire caused close to $1 million in damage overall. The reason for the high value of the damage, Dubert said, was because parts of the sanctuary contains asbestos. As of now, the sanctuary remains sealed off from the public. The stu-

Until the reopening, Sunday services will be in Benton Auditorium of the Scheman Building. Other church services are in the community room of the church.

I basically worked on a system that took a picture with a camera, analyzed it and then told a motor how far to move to center the camera on the sun.” Opportunities like this are not solely a result of individual action. Both Antolak and Thompson said their time at Iowa State has suitably prepared them for assimilation into industry and making professional contributions.

Taco Bell, the previous owner of the building on Lincoln Way, relocated to Duff Avenue last year after of a dispute with a nearby church, Collegiate United Methodist Church-Wesley Foundation Annex, over a parking lot.

er to help one another out,” Dubert said. Tina Meyer, 51, Ames citizen and member of St. Thomas Aquinas, is currently on trial for first degree arson — a class B felony — in relation to the church fire. On Oct. 15, Meyer pleaded not guilty to the charges, but the exact reasons are classified. Meyer’s lawyer could not be reached for comment. St. Thomas Aquinas is working with Meyer to forgive her and help her through this part of her life. Church representatives said the parish is keeping an open mind and is willing to forgive Meyer of the accused wrongdoings. “Like the Bible says, you have to always be willing to Thompson said nearly every class he has taken in his four years at Iowa State has given him information and skills that are useful in some shape or form professionally. A couple courses that stood out though, included Aerospace Engineering 160 (Aerospace Engineering Problems with Computer Applications Laboratory), and Physics 221 (Introduction to Classical Physics I). “I was building and testing code; I did a lot of programming, and the skills I learned in [Aerospace Engineering 160] made learning a new programming language easy, and allowed me to pick up my project [with NASA] easily, Thompson said. “My project also involved the use of cameras and some of the optics that go with that, which showed up in Physics 221.” Antolak also attributed much of her success to her ISU education in that she has parlayed her abilities into not only her internship with NASA and Jacobs Technology, but also her current internship with Southwest Airlines. While the industry, can be highly competitive, both students offered guidance to other students preparing for

With more than 200 parking spaces, the new ramp will allow parishioners to park closer to the church. St. Thomas Aquinas, located on Lincoln Way across from the Memorial Union, has a special area for students to come worship and do homework, which many students routinely choose to use. Check back with the Daily for up-to-date information involving the St. Thomas Aquinas church fire.

professional immersion. “[There are] three things: be active on campus, keep your grades up and apply to as many internships as possible,” Thompson said. Antolak also offered her perspective. “I encourage everyone, not just aerospace engineering students, to apply to as many internships/co-ops as you can,” Antolak said. “Any experience is good experience. I have been applying since freshman year, and it took me until the end of my junior year to land an internship. Persistence is the key: Never give up.”

The franchise is continuing to grow as it plans the openings of eight other stores in Iowa by the end of 2016. These stores include locations in Des Moines, Marshalltown and Ankeny. Dunkin’ Donuts is a predominently east-coast chain, with few locations west of the Mississippi River. The company hopes to be able to expand even more in Iowa in the years to come to bring its store count up to 30.

Campus green spaces meant to be enjoyed Recently, yet again, there was a public push at Iowa State to keep students from cutting corners between sidewalks, cutting across green spaces and so forth, to prevent what has been dubbed “cow paths.” We’ve all seen those unsightly little dirt paths worn into the many lawns around campus, those little brown grooves through the pretty green, packed down hard as a rock by the hundreds and thousands of feet trampling over the same square footage. This is nothing new. University administrators and even some students have been griping about cow paths for years — a search of our opinion archives results in stories about the problem dating back many years. So why all the fuss? Cow paths are democracy in action. They are the people’s expression of having found a better way to do something. In the case of these dirt paths deemed ugly, the students of Iowa State have found a shorter, faster way to get from A to B. In the rest of the world, this sort of thing is called “improvement” or “advancement.” People finding a better or faster way to do something has brought humans out of the caves, where they squatted over fires and roasted mastodon steaks on the end of a sharp stick, and instead put them into McMansions, where they passively enjoy geothermal heating and pizza delivered to their doors. We’re not exactly equating cow paths to high science and convenient food, but the philosophy is the same. Why complain about the cow paths and threaten to put up fences and signs? Why not instead do the logical thing and simply pave over the cow path with another advancement called “concrete”? If we had enough concrete to make that monstrosity of a building named Ross Hall, then surely we have a few yards of it somewhere that we can pour a short sidewalk with. But there is an hypocrisy here, too, and it comes from our very own university. A quick survey of the green area in front of Curtiss Hall and on both sides of the sidewalks leading from the Memorial Union to Curtiss will reveal muddy trenches dug out by students flying around in John Deere Gators at speeds too fast for pedestrian comfort. And let’s not forget the muddy, grassless spots on Central Campus, scuffed out by the feet of hungry students awaiting their nearly free Homecoming food hand-out. Our grass is not a simple ornamentation, but rather a place for community. Who cares about dead grass? It will come back, we promise. Our green spaces were meant to be used, not fenced off and made to be observed from a distance. Let’s not complain when students use them and move through them as they see fit. Editorial Board

Courtesy photo “Middle class” is a term thrown around a lot in politics, especially with upcoming elections. One economist defines this bracket as families with incomes of $25,000 to $100,000 annually. However, both presidential candidates acknowledge it as families making less than $250,000.
Attitudes of a middle class Terminology defines common mentality, not income bracket
M
oney complicates things. As Pink Floyd said decades ago: “Money, it’s a crime / Share it fairly / But don’t take a slice of my pie.” One of the larger issues of the 2012 presidential campaign has been the fate of the middle class. During the first presidential debate, President Barack Obama said: “If you are lowering the rates the way you described, governor, then it is not possible to come up with enough deductions and loopholes that only affect high-income individuals to avoid either raising the deficit or burdening the middle class. ... It’s math. It’s arithmetic.” The Obama campaign website even has a tax calculator to compare tax bills under the plans of Obama and Mitt Romney. The Democratic Party’s national platform states: “We gather to reclaim the basic bargain that built the largest middle class and the most prosperous nation on Earth — the simple principle that ... hard work should pay off, responsibility should be rewarded, and each one of us should be able to go as far as our talent and drive take us.” It states: “Reclaiming the economic security of the middle class is the challenge we must overcome today.” Republicans use the same
By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com rhetoric. Also in the first presidential debate, Romney said he does “want to reduce the [tax] burden being paid by middle-income Americans” And: “The people who are having a hard time right now are middle-income Americans. Under the president’s politics, middle-income Americans have been buried. Middle-income families are being crushed.” Further, the Republican Party’s platform states “America has always been a place of grand dreams and even grander realities; and so it will be again, if we return government to its proper role, making it smaller and smarter.” Among the conditions for recapturing those dreams and realities is “lift[ing] up the middle class.” Definitions of the middle class vary. One economist states that middle-class income is approximately between $25,000 and $100,000 annually, since the middle 60 percent of Americans lie within that range. A recent poll by the Pew Research Center defines the middle class as an income bracket of between $39,000 and $118,000 for a three-person family. In an interview with ABC reporter George Stephanopoulos, Romney stated that “middle income is $200,000 to $250,000
and less.” For all intents and purposes, Obama agrees, since he wants to retain the Bush tax cuts on families making less than $250,000 per year. Although the rhetoric of the candidates obscured the fact the middle class is more abstract than a few hundred dollars in additional tax liabilities, the middle class is set apart from the wealthy and impoverished classes in a big, classically defined way understood by the people who directed America during the Revolutionary War and early republic. Their idea rests in the closing words of the Declaration of Independence: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” At the season finale of Aaron Sorkin’s newest show, “The Newsroom,” one of his characters, Sloan Sabbith, adapted an economic idea to demonstrate the self-sacrifice that goes with the Founding Fathers’ vision of virtue. She said: “The greater fool is someone with the perfect blend of self delusion and ego to think that he can succeed where others have failed. This whole country was made by greater fools.” One of the most eminent historians of the American Revolutionary era, Gordon Wood, described the republican virtue that defines the middle class. He wrote: “Liberty was realized when the citizens were virtuous
Letters to the editor
Editorial maligns more than chalked sidewalks Political markings shows enthusiasm for 2012 election The editorials published a week ago attacking the Obama campaign for chalking and bringing in celebrities were, quite frankly, misguided and showed a severe lack of knowledge about the mechanisms of campaigns. I recognize it is the prerogative of our newspaper’s Editorial Board to publish how it feels about the goingson at Iowa State, however, I also expect a certain degree of professionalism (e.g. research) in lieu of knee-jerk reactions, especially when attempting to make sweeping criticisms about the character of such a renowned and effective campaign as the president’s. According to the Editorial Board, the chalk “directed — nay, commanded” students to vote for Obama, “bludgeon-
ing” them with the campaign’s presence. It was, the writers asserted, an “egregious” abuse of chalk privilege that threatened to blur the political and private realms into “an amorphous blob.” Setting aside the pompous rhetoric, the writers made critical errors in their analysis. First and foremost is the idea the campaign was trying to force people to vote for President Barack Obama and that it thinks students are not able to make their own decisions. The sheer number of fallacies in that argument is astounding, but I’ll only address the most severe. Anybody who knows the first thing about campaign politics would know the purpose behind chalking, bringing in celebrities and generally increasing visibility: to get a campaign’s supporters to the polls. The campaign was not perpetrating some nefarious scheme of condescending voter intimidation as the
Editorial Board suggested; it was doing everything in its power to get out the vote by being constantly visible. And that brings me to the second of the Editorial Board’s unsound arguments — that the omnipresence of politics on a college campus is something malignant. How many times have members of our age group been publicly derided for our apathy? Almost all of the groundwork being done by Democratic campaigns around campus is being done by students, and that is a fact that should be celebrated. We should be proud of how many politically aware Cyclones understand the immense importance of politics. There will be more of this visible enthusiasm about campus in the coming week; I hope the Editorial Board will recognize its value rather than mock it as “annoying.”

— that is, willing to sacrifice their private interests for the sake of the community, including serving in public office without pecuniary rewards.” Further: “To be completely virtuous citizens, men … had to be free from dependence and from the petty interests of the marketplace. Any loss of independence and virtue was corruption. … Public virtue was the sacrifice of private desires and interests for the public interest.” Being part of the middle class precludes indulging in the pleasure-seeking hedonism that is devoid of ambition and squanders away the fortunes of rich heirs and heiresses and prevents the poor from making their own. The middle class is the stewardship class that seeks to use what exists but only in such a way that allows us to pass on the foundation to future generations. The “middle class” deserves better than to be displaced by “middle-income” Americans. It is a mentality, not a dollar amount. To the extent we should discuss tax policy and spending in the terms of how they will affect the middle class, it is only to prevent ourselves from taking not only the interest that that bank account earns, but the principal that provides the base on which the interest grows. The middle class cannot be bought, sold or commodified. It is priceless.

Vote Olson for Story Co. supervisor I encourage others to join me in supporting Lauris Olson for the position of Story County supervisor. For many years Olson has been actively involved in reporting on and contributing to public discussions about key decisions affecting Story County residents. She is a highly skilled and dedicated citizen who understands the issues we face and the people who live in our county. Olson correctly anticipates the need to expand the number of board members to better represent the viewpoints had by residents living in smaller rural areas. She understands the need to hire professionals in planning and development and to staff the Story County Board of Supervisors with persons who feel comfortable in interpreting the complex economic, social and environmental issues facing Story County residents. Olson is a hard worker, as demonstrated by her involvement in the Kiwanis Club of Ames. As a Kiwanian, she has shown she is equally comfortable in leading campaigns as she is in washing pots and pans in the back room during Kiwanis Pancake Days. Olson will bring experience, skills and enthusiasm to the Story County Board of Supervisors.

Fun Facts The disease known as “chicken pox” has nothing to do with poultry. It earned the name because it was originally thought to be a weak strain of smallpox. The “No animals were harmed…” disclaimer listed in film credits by the American Human Association doesn’t just cover cute and cuddly animals; they also have strict rules regarding snakes, rats and insects. Albert Einstein was offered the presidency of Israel. Across
Pablo Picasso was held, questioned, and then released in 1911 for his suspected role in the theft of the Mona Lisa, which turned up later.

Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel) proposed to his wife on the back of a motorcycle. When she said yes he accidentally ran into a ditch! Despite their proximity to the equator, Mount Cotopaxi in South America and Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa are both snow-capped yearround. Cashews are always sold without their shells because the shell contains an oil that can cause a rash similar to poison ivy. Although most people associate sword swallowing with circus folk, the practice originated about 4,000 years ago in India, where deeply religious Hindus used the ceremony to demonstrate their faith.

Basketball gives hope to ISU fans
Dominguez earns honors as season ends The ISU soccer team missed out on the Big 12 tournament for the fifth straight year after a loss to Oklahoma in its season finale Friday, but the season was not all in vain. College Sports Madness named junior forward Jennifer Dominguez the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year on Monday. She was also named to the College Sports Madness Big 12 first team with junior midfielder Emily Goldstein earning a spot on its second team. Dominguez racked up 14 goals on the season and totaled 28 points in 2012. She led the Big 12 in both categories at the end of the regular season. She is now second all-time in goals in a season and is tied for third in points in a season while at Iowa State. Dominguez netted four game-winning goals this season, good enough to tie for first at Iowa State. Goldstein scored four goals, tied for second on the team in 2012. The Cyclones finished the 2012 season with a record of 10-10 and 1-7 in the Big 12. It was the team’s first 10 win season in seven years. — By Daily staff
Volleyball:
Kristen Hahn earns ninth career award For the fifth time this season, ISU libero Kristen Hahn was named Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week. During a four-week span from Sept. 17 through Oct. 8, Hahn won the award every week to become the first player in ISU history ever to do so. The last two weeks went to Kansas players, but after the No. 22 Cyclones upset the No. 17 Jayhawks last week, the award is back in Hahn’s possession. Hahn’s season mark thus far sits at 5.54 digs per set, putting her at the top of the Big 12 Conference. The award is Hahn’s ninth of her career. With seven matches left this season, Hahn has the opportunity to make Big 12 history again. Earlier this season, Hahn became the first Big 12 player to win four consecutive weekly awards in conference history and only time will tell if she can put together another string of honors to best her previous mark. Next up, the No. 22 Cyclones head to South Dakota to take on South Dakota State on Tuesday. The match is set for 7 p.m. — By Daily staff

Vision becomes reality By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com

Paul Rhoads had a vision. With five pages of handwritten notes, the ISU football coach provided architects with his ideas on the 60,000-square foot addition to the Bergstrom Football Complex. “A lot of the little details came straight from coach Rhoads,” said Chris Jorgensen, associate athletic director of facilities. “He was very involved throughout this project.” Now, 22 months after the idea first set in, the expansion of the Bergstrom Football Complex is nearly complete. The $20.6 million addition to the Bergstrom Indoor Facility was approved in June 2011, and the idea came to fruition months earlier. Approximately $5 million in funding came from donations while the other $15.6 million came from revenues such as ticket sales. Just up the stairs from the building’s entrance past the mural of Jack Trice are windows overlooking the 11,000-square foot training room with 18 lifting stations. “The weight room is a cavernous facility with state-of-the-art equipment,” Rhoads said. “What you don’t
>>KNOTT.p1 in Chicago, would not be available for comment until Wednesday afternoon. “He’s played through a lot of pain, which is a tribute to him, his toughness and his overall selfless desire to be a team player,” Rhoads said. “It was never, ever about Jake Knott; it was always about the Iowa State Cyclones.” In Knott’s absence, Rhoads said Jeremiah George could be active in both base and nickel defenses — with Knott, George was only active at Mike (middle) linebacker in base. Jevohn Miller would either back up George or remain at Will (weak-side) linebacker, with Matt Morton possibly being thrown in the mix somewhere. Rhoads said defensive coordinator and linebackers coach Wally Burnham is working on a supplemental rotation for the linebackers that will not be solidified until Saturday’s game against Oklahoma. “We’re going to run the same stuff

see and you won’t see is the work that gets done in that space — but it’s the front porch.” The equipment alone cost $1.2 million, and it’s unlike any other equipment in the nation. The racks are operated by hydraulic lifts, making it safer and more efficient. “I would find it hard-pressed to find someone in the country that has something similar to what we have as far as a football-only room,” said strength coach Yancy McKnight. Murals of players and fans line every wall; a hallway is dedicated to Cyclones in the NFL; and iPads displaying players can be found outside an office for each position. The entire facility is filled with details and the latest features. Each locker has an air filtration system for the player’s pads and shoes, and the therapy area has resistance pools with underwater cameras. “It could be bigger; we could have spent more,” said Ben Bruns, project and try to get the guy in there and play with him and bring him along as best as we can,” said nickelback Deon Broomfield. “There’s not going to be too much difference in the scheme; they’ve been practicing along with us all year.” There is a possibility Knott could return for a bowl game if the Cyclones (5-3, 2-3 Big 12) qualify for one, but Rhoads said that will be predicated on what information emerges from the surgery. “I was hoping to have a little bit more knowledge,” Rhoads said. “I have not received that yet — the severity of what they found. That will all be determined by that.” With questions surrounding his health leading into last weekend’s Homecoming win against Baylor, Knott started and tallied 11 total tackles in the win. Rhoads said that through “trusted medical advice,” Knott made the decision to play against Baylor and receive seasonending shoulder surgery -Monday. “We didn’t even know he was
manager for The Weitz Company and former All-American ISU center. “But it’s as efficient as you could ever imagine it to be.” It’s even comparable to what can currently be found in the NFL. “In Seattle, we got a new one, and this one here is better than that, and that’s the pros,” said former Cyclone quarterback Seneca Wallace. Nowhere to be found in the facility is a pool table or pinball machine — Jorgensen said Rhoads wanted it to have a “coming to work” mentality. For the most part, Rhoads’ plans have been followed. “If I go back and look at those notes, we’ve hit on every one of those in some way,” Jorgensen said. In two years time, Rhoads’ vision has become reality. “We wanted it to be designed with the a blue-collar work ethic in mind,” Rhoads said. “That’s exactly the finished product we had with plenty of ‘wow’ to go on top of it.”
Knott’s career Career (46 gp/ 33 gs) — 347 tackles (216 solo, 131 asst.), 18.0 TFL (43 yards), 1.5 sacks (9 yards), 8 interceptions (60 yards), 15 pass breakups, 2 fumble recoveries (0 yards), 10 forced fumbles Rankings in school history Total tackles (347) — 5th Interceptions (8) — 9th
going to play until like Friday or Saturday,” Broomfield said. “It was close right before the game. “When we found out that he was going to play, we were excited for him and we really wanted to gather up and get a win and have him go out in a winning way.” After his 11-tackle performance last Saturday — his 19th-career game of 10-plus tackles — Knott has made 347 career tackles, ranking him sixth all time in ISU history.
As of Monday, Diante Garrett signed with the Phoenix Suns, making him the 20th player from Iowa State to sign in the NBA. Garrett is nothing short of a feel-good story. For those younger or new students who didn’t get the privilege of watching him, Garrett was a senior two years ago who led a team that only went 3-13 in Big 12 play. But it was also a team that only went six-deep most nights. Garrett led that team in points, assists and steals, but he did more than that. He was the facilitator and ran the show, which was all the time — Garrett averaged upwards of 37 minutes per game. He led a young group of players, battling every single night, losing seven Big 12 games by less than six points — two of which were in overtime. Even with the odds stacked against the team, the fans showed up night after night, with hope of a Big 12 upset. As long as they had Garrett, they had a chance. He simply stole our hearts, mesmerizing us with the quickness that someone with his 6-foot-5, spindly frame could blow by a defender with. That was the first year Fred Hoiberg was the coach at Iowa State. He helped Garrett’s development, nearly doubling his point total the next year. Garrett was projected as a second-round pick before going undrafted in 2011. He then spent time playing for KK Zagreb in Croatia and JSF Nanterre in France, before he played with the Phoenix Suns’ summer league team and was eventually signed to the roster. That was only two years ago. Now, “The Mayor” continues to develop his players and is bringing in bigger players along with him. Everyone knows about Royce White, who was the 19th Cyclone basketball player to make an NBA roster after being selected 16th overall by the Houston Rockets. Hoiberg just brought in his first major class of freshmen, led by the first ESPN Top-100 recruit in years with Georges Niang. Already looking forward to next year, Hoiberg has two top100 recruits already committed to the team. The bottom line is that fans of ISU basketball now have back that privilege of expecting Hoiberg to bring in talent, develop the talent and then send it off to the NBA. A pretty good privilege to have, we’d say.
