Barnett, Lenz spur Cyclones to win against TCU By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com FORT WORTH, Texas — Don’t call it an upset. The ISU football team has performed countless upsets during the four years under coach Paul Rhoads, almost to the point where the players are no longer fazed by the significance of them. There was little surprise Saturday, when Iowa State defeated No. 15 Texas Christian (TCU) 37-23 in its inaugural home game as a member of the Big 12. “That’s what we’re look-
ing for, is for it to not be an upset,” said Josh Lenz, senior wide receiver. “We want to be one of those teams that people want to upset. We’ve been working towards this for a long time, so it feels good to come down here and get the win.” The win for the Cyclones (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) ended TCU’s winning streak of 12, which was the longest in the nation coming into the game. Iowa State has now defeated ranked opponents in the state of Texas for three consecutive years for the first time in school history, having beaten No. 22 Texas in 2010 and No. 19 Texas Tech in 2011 prior to this game. It also marked the first

Study Abroad plans program for July 2013 By Katherine.Marcheski @iowastatedaily.com
Monday, October 8, 2012
Honorable and dear President Obama: After last Wednesday’s debacle, Sir, you aren’t exactly looking like a shoo-in come November. Was I surprised? Not really. I’ve almost 4 years’ experience dealing with the staff you’ve assembled. They’re admittedly very smart, but I’m not exactly impressed by their common sense. Why they prepared you the way they did for Wednesday is beyond me. As is why they’ve kept you in the dark about the Y Woeman Scandal. What are your closest aides allowing you to see and to hear about this possible nail in the coffin lid of your stumbling bid for another 4 years? Apparently not much. Time to show some leadership, Sir. Time to be taking a more aggressive stand. Time to be understanding that just as Wednesday’s bumbled performance called your competency into question, your refusal to speak out and to explain why you and Attorney General Holder have acted/not acted as you have toward Y Woeman calls into question your moral judgment. Help this poor woman, Sir. Issue that Executive Order first requested over 2 years ago. Why won’t you reply? Speak now or forever hold your pieces of a disintegrating campaign. Honorable and dear former Iowa first lady Christie Vilsack: Same goes for you, Ma’am. Time to be raising your voice in defense of Y Woeman’s Human Rights. As a woman, you know better than do most men the importance of a place to call “home.” That our government has denied such to this poor woman for over 25 years is a blot on our national conscience. Kindly inform Mr. Obama on my behalf that his failure to act in her case for over 2 years shows a vacuum of leadership and calls into question his moral integrity.
Honorable and dear Congressman Steve King: Please be so kind as to call Mr. Romney’s attention to the Y Woeman affair erupting on campus at Iowa State University. Why is the Iowa State Daily attempting to censor political speech about how President Obama and AG Holder have bungled the Y Woeman scandal? You got any clue? Is ISU typical of other college campuses nationwide? What’s going on in Iowa? -- Dr. Don Dough © 2012. Don Dough Enterprises. All Rights Reserved. General information: © Copyright 2011

With over 3,000 international students attending Iowa State, it is no surprise that students are eager to share and expand their diverse cultures and practices. Onalie Ariyabandhu, sophomore in economics, is from Sri Lanka and has been working fervently to create a study abroad program for students to visit her home country. Assisted by Jane Dusselier, assistant professor of anthropology, the program is now set up and ready to go for the coming summer. The first study abroad session will start in July 2013. “We thought of trying something new, and [Dusselier] became interested,” Ariyabandhu said. “All of a sudden we were forming a study abroad program.” Dusselier wrote a grant to the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences,. Once it was approved, Dusselier visited Sri Lanka to develop the program. The Sri Lanka study abroad program is three weeks in July, and students will have the opportunity to delve into the culture and history of the country. “We will be going to six of the eight UNESCO heritage
sites, historical sites, a platinum textile factory, a tea factory, industries, religious temples both Hindu and Buddhist — it will be all field visits,” Ariyabandhu said. “There won’t be a classroom.” Ariyabandhu said she thinks this study abroad program will be a huge benefit for Iowa State. “The reason I wanted to initiate this program is because I want people to know my culture and my country. I want them to appreciate our diversity; we have such a large history, and many sites,” Ariyabandhu said. “I want people to know and be able to identify my country. It would really benefit the students to experience a very different culture.” Dusselier agreed. “I teach Anthropology 230, a globalization class, and nothing is more frustrating to me then students who don’t know anything more than Iowa,” Dusselier said. “I’m tired of teaching globalization to students who haven’t traveled. I really wanted to get involved in study abroad to encourage all students to travel.” Although studying abroad may put students out of their comfort zone, Dusselier believes the experience is beneficial to students. “We need to get students out of their comfort zone into a radically different culture; not Spain, or England, or Europe, but a new and challenging place,” Dusselier said. Dusselier said she encour-
>>COCKROACHES.p1 roaches bring with them when they enter an establishment. “One of the biggest problems with cockroaches is they live in damp, dirty locations,” Lewis said, “and at night when they come out to look for food, whatever was in those cracks or wet gaps they were hiding in is now being transferred on their feet to the counters and tabletops.” Once a cockroach enters an establishment, they can spread rapidly. A cockroach egg will hatch within roughly 14-50 days depending on the species and will reach adulthood anywhere from 30 days to one year. A single female cockroach can lay upwards of 300 eggs over its lifespan. Depending on the species of cockroach, within a two-year span there can be thousands of roaches where there were none before. “Cockroaches do not inherently carry viruses inside of them like mosquitoes do with West Nile Virus or malaria.” Lewis said. “Several disease pathogens and other micro-organisms have been found on the feet of the roaches. Most commonly intestinal diseases, like gastroenteritis, and sometimes it can be salmonella or botulism.”
Fast facts ■■ The program will start in July 2013. ■■ Students will spend three weeks engulfed in the culture of Sri Lanka. ■■ This is the first time Iowa State will offer a study abroad program to Sri Lanka. ■■ It is encouraged that students leave their comfort zone to get the full effect of studying abroad. ■■ Estimated cost of the program is $3,500.
ages study abroad more and more in class, as she believes it is a serious aspect in a fulfilling future. “I wish everyone could study abroad,” Dusselier said. “There are so many options.” This particular program will allow students to earn three credits in anthropology, but it can be flexible for an LAS elective. The total cost for the entire program, including class credits, transportation, accommodation and entrance into the sites, will be around $3,500. More information can be found through the study abroad center. “It’s a tiny island in southeast Asia, but it encompasses such rich culture and history,” Dusselier said. “There is so much to do, and students will have an opportunity to see it all in three weeks.”
The main problem with having roaches in an area like Campustown is how close the buildings are to each other. In a case like Sips and Paddys, where roaches were found and removed, the removal of cockroaches does not necessarily mean the problem is solved. “Eliminating cockroaches can be very difficult,” Lewis said. “In a single family home, where there is good attention to sanitation, cleanliness and treatment, cockroach elimination is not that difficult. But when you get to connected buildings such as a restaurant that shares a common wall, you may be able to control the roaches on your side, but unless the other side is controlled, it is only a matter of time until you have them again.” Lewis went on to explain the need for a dedicated effort to remove them. “In a restaurant or bar, spilled food, spilled water and construction which allows cockroaches places to hide, it can be very difficult to remove cockroaches, which is why we need to use a multitude of control tactics and not just one thing,” Lewis said. “It will take a concerted effort with a multitude of tactics to remove cockroaches, and you have to treat the entire system and not just an isolated area within it.”

Students show off ‘SWAG’ during CALS Week By Carter.Collins @iowastatedaily.com The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will be strutting its “swag” all over campus this week. A weeklong celebration, known as CALS Week, officially kicks off Monday. It promotes the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, which has a placement rate of 98 percent. “The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences has been serving students at Iowa State University for over 150 years,” said Jake Swanson, a junior studying Global Resource Systems and current GSB College Of Agriculture and Life Sciences Senator. “The college is currently serving over 4,500 students in addition to the many lives it influences through its extension and research.” This year’s theme, “See What Agriculture Gives” or SWAG, is filled with various events and activities aimed toward promoting how agriculture and the life sciences effect everyone on a day-today basis. Steph Carlson and Michael Dolch, co-chairs of CALS Week, hope all ISU students will have conversations with CALS students and industry leaders about how this college and the agricultural industry affect their everyday lives. “There is more to agriculture than just the cows, plows and sows,” said Dolch, senior in agricultural and life sciences education. “We invite everyone to come see what we do.” All ISU students are invited to attend free lunches Monday through Thursday and a free breakfast Friday morning on Central Campus. Industry sponsors, who
play a major role in this week’s events, put on these free meals. This year’s sponsors include Dow AgroSciences, MaxYield Cooperative, Iowa Pork Producers, Monsanto, Iowa Beef Industry and Syngenta, among many others. These industry sponsors not only sponsor the free meal and activities, but also network with students. “We reach out [to] the industry to gain support for the college and for students,” said Steph Carlson, senior in animal science. “These businesses find it valuable to sponsor us and our celebration because they know we will contribute back to them.” CALS Week is also a week for all students of the college to celebrate their accomplishments and throughout the week different events are planned for students to have fun. The annual CALS Week Kickoff Dance is Monday at 8 p.m. in the Prairie Room of the Gateway Hotel in Ames. On Wednesday, CALS Week will have a concert at Zekes’s, on Lincoln Way at 8 p.m. Granger Smith, a “bornand-bred singer/songwriter,” according to his website, will be performing. The concert costs $5 per person. Throughout the week, students in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will have the chance to enhance their knowledge about agriculture advocacy, and prepare for life after Iowa State. On Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Ensminger Room in Kildee Hall, Iowa Farm Bureau will take center stage at the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation AGvocacy Seminar. This seminar will give students the ability to improve their overall advocacy for everything agriculture and the
life sciences related. Students who attend this event, according to Carlson, can expect a presentation from an agriculture financial advisor to help them prepare their 401Ks and be “fiscally smart” in the industry. To help celebrate the week, CALS Week T-shirts and cozies, sporting the “SWAG, See What Ag Gives” motto, will be sold. Shirts can be purchased for $10 and cozies for $1.

Documentary Shift & Discussion Redefining North Korea
Monday, October 8, 2012, 7pm Great Hall, Memorial Union
For decades North Korea has been defined by its politics, which has isolated it from our global community. The People’s Crisis, a 50-minute documentary, focuses on the harsh reality of life inside North Korea, including footage from a refugee rescue mission by the nonprofit awareness and advocacy organization LiNK. The North Korean people are living under a ruthless system of political repression, and it is their stories that remain unheard when the focus is only on that country’s nuclear weapons or reclusive leaders. LiNK is bringing the conversation back to the people and providing tangible ways to get involved. Its mission is to redefine North Korea by focusing on the people, while rescuing and providing resettlement support to North Korean refugees and pursuing an end to the North Korea crisis. A discussion led by representatives from the organization will immediately follow the film. Cosponsored By: Korean Student Association, Committee on Lectures (funded by GSB)

Double check Obama’s debate ‘facts’ We have taken up a great deal of space this year arguing that voting is not the only act of citizenship. Rather, voting is one of many duties that you, Citizen, ought to perform routinely to deserve that title. We are in the midst of an election cycle and therefore are confronted by what passes for campaigns and debates. We must address “facts” offered in last week’s presidential debate in particular, even though debating should always be a feature of politics. Voting well requires education. As Theodore Roosevelt said, “a vote is like a rifle: Its usefulness depends on the character of the user.” So in today’s empire of lies — where facts are open to partisan interpretation, if not treason — we will help realize the greatest fear of both campaigns: We will correct some of the statements made by both President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. First, Obama: “We’ve [taken the Simpson-Bowles deficit reduction plan], made some adjustments to it and we’re putting it forward before Congress right now — a $4 trillion plan,” Obama said. Incorrect. One trillion dollars of this “plan” was cut a year ago, so even if Romney wins, it’s still cut. Another trillion is the money saved by not being at war in Iraq and Afghanistan, making that money the government wasn’t going to spend anyway. Obama: “Governor Romney’s central economic plan calls for a $5 trillion tax cut on top of the extension of the Bush tax cuts.” This is very misleading. Romney is indeed in favor of eliminating interest, capital gains, and dividend taxes for people making under $200,000 per year; doing away with the estate tax and Alternative Minimum Tax; extending the Bush tax cuts; and cutting income taxes 20 percent. But Obama comes up with his figure by extrapolating results from a Tax Policy Center report out over an entire decade. Romney has always said his plan would be revenue and deficit neutral, even though Romney hasn’t exactly been specific about how he would achieve that. “When Obamacare is fully implemented, we’re going to be in a position to show that costs are going down. And over the last two years, health care premiums have gone up... slower than any time in the last 50 years. So we’re already beginning to see progress,” Obama claimed. Wrong. Health care premiums have spiked this last year at a rate far higher than previous years, and Obamacare is responsible for 1 to 3 percent of that increase due to the greater coverage requirements. The rise in health care expenditures has slowed because of the recession, not Obamacare. Stay tuned for Romney’s debunking tomorrow. But God knows we need much more space than this. Editorial Board

Government should invest in education Photo courtesy of Thinkstock The 1957 National Defense Education Act created a boom in the science fields until the 1970s. A similar investment in education today could help decrease income inequality for years to come and help fix a number of other economic problems facing Americans today.
Better opportunities could reduce income inequality
O
ne of the things which frightens me about the world is how quickly things can take ugly turns. Two summers ago, I went to Spain with my best friend from high school to celebrate graduation from college, to travel and to see my family abroad. While there, we went to Madrid, where we saw the Plaza del Sol, the Santiago Bernabeu soccer stadium (Home of the Real Madrid FC), and many other iconic locations. It was an awesome summer, and besides a relatively calm group of protesters in Sol, there wasn’t very much that seemed out of place compared withprior visits to Spain I have had. Now the city is under siege as police and protesters clash because of widespread discontent with a lack of political accountability, corruption and a decrease in social programs meant to help citizens, like healthcare. Citizens can’t afford to pay for food, let alone their rent, and the problem has gotten to be so bad that locks were installed on garbage containers near supermarkets to deter people from looking for free food. At this point, you might be asking yourself “Gabe, why should I care?” I think it is important to realize that this could happen here; indeed, many people have already been affected by similar situations. Let’s examine how the situations in Spain and here in the United States are similar. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, which published a report for the month of September, the top 5 percent of individuals in the United States increased their income by 4.9 percent
By Gabe.Garcia-Merritt @iowastatedaily.com between 2010 and 2011, while the lowest one-fifth of the population saw a reduction of income equal to 1.2 percent in the same time frame. Income inequality is at its highest point in 40 years. The rich stay rich, and even increase their wealth, while others lose their tenuous hold on income. The rich don’t have any problems in sending their children to private universities; for them, tuition payment is a non-issue, not an economic hurdle, as it is for middle and working class people. The Wall Street Journal claims that student debt in March of 2012 was at a total of $904 billion, which represents a rise of 8 percent from the same time last year; indeed, 40 percent of households headed by someone 35 or younger have such debt, according to a study conducted by the Pew Research Center released on Sept. 26. The elite become more wealthy, and the middle class slowly but surely loses ground. Stepping into the “real world” is a scary endeavor, but at some point, the training wheels have to come off, and we all have to learn to keep our balance. If we fall down, we have to do our best to get back up; it’s not always easy, but you won’t go anywhere unless you try to get up. That being said, people will sometimes need a helping hand to get back on their feet. Perhaps instead of sinking money into a bloated military budget, which according to CBS is about 18 percent of the yearly government budget, or $670 billion, and has almost doubled since 2001, the government could allocate that money towards making education affordable for Americans.
By becoming educated citizens, we may be able to remedy the situation; education is a long-term investment which benefits individual citizens and the country as a whole. The Cold War serves as a great example of this. According to the National Museum of American History, as a consequence of the launch of the Sputnik Satellite by the USSR in 1957, the federal government passed the 1958 National Defense Education Act, which gave $1 billion to promote science education at all levels of American education (equivalent to just under $8 billion today). That money created a boom in the science fields which lasted until the 1970s, shaped our current education system and led to many of the technological advances which we have benefited from. Investing in education would revamp existing fields by extending grants to projects that might go unfunded, create drive to study unexplored areas of knowledge, and eventually help private industry by taking cutting-edge technology and applying it to real-world problems, and thus to the economy as a whole. An educated populace would be beneficial not only for the economy, but for the populace itself; the more educated they are, the better prepared they will be to tackle social problems. If we are serious about dealing with inequality in our country, and raising the standards of living for everyone, education needs priority. Maybe if we do that, we won’t have to face a situation where our children will have to scrounge for food in dumpsters. Maybe we won’t have to suffer the same fate as Spain.

GOP is not waging a ‘war on women’
I
recently wrote a column on the misconception of Republicans being too eager to declare war. This week my column will also pertain to war; the War on Women. Only Republicans have not declared this war; quite the opposite, in fact. While the Liberal Left would like for everyone to believe that women are just victims of the cruel Conservative Elite, the story is actually a masquerade of the real events taking place within the Democratic Party. The truth is the GOP has been one of the biggest advocates for women’s rights, unlike their counterparts in the Democratic Party, who have a shaky history on women’s rights and continue to belittle women today. Historically, the Democratic Party has been adamantly against women’s rights. When the 19th Amendment was conceived and introduced to Congress, it was met with strong opposition by the Democratic Party. When the amendment finally passed through Congress, eight of the nine states that voted against ratification of the amendment were run by Democratic legislation. These eight states finally ratified the amendment in the 1970s. One such example of Democratic opposition to women who are, by their own definition, pro-women, is the case of Connie Morella, a Republican congresswoman from Maryland, who was run out of Congress in 2002 by the Democrats, despite her longrunning stance on women’s rights and her record of being extremely socially liberal for a conservative politician. Though still the “Democratic-controlled Maryland legislature redrew her district to ensure that, as the state senate president gloated, ‘If she runs,

By Emma.Rinehart @iowastatedaily.com she loses,’” as stated in Geoffrey Kabaservice’s article on The New Republic’s website, tnr.com. This idea of Republicans declaring a “war on women” because of their pro-life stances has been overly publicized in the last few months. It leaves me to wonder how protecting the rights of a child is anti-woman. This thought then leads me to wonder when did the word “women” came to be synonymous with “contraception”? When the birth control mandate came about last spring, liberals started spewing labels of “anti-women” at the Republican Party. The GOP retaliated by calling the issues for what they were: pro-life issues. Contrary to popular belief, the Republican Party is actually very much “pro-woman,” if in the sense
of “woman” one means the actual definition of the word as a female human. They are pro-women the way the pro-women movement was meant to be. The women’s rights movement started out as an idea that women should be treated equally to men. As the movement evolved through the decades, it became increasingly about contraception. Contraception has nothing to do with equality, voting rights or equal pay for equal work. It is an entirely different agenda and cannot be pushed on women. Presidential nominee Mitt Romney declared, “The effort to describe Republicans as being anything other than extraordinarily pro-woman, pro-opportunity for women of America, pro-moms, pro-working moms, pro-working women -- look, that kind of effort is totally missing the mark, and people understand that.” Reducing a woman’s worth to government-funded contraception hardly seems like a feminist ideal to me. In fact, that seems more anti-women than anything the GOP has ever been accused
of. Even the idea of feminism, according to Cheris Kramarae, Professor Emeritus of women’s studies at the University of Illinois, “is the radical notion that women are people.” This idea of being nothing more than contraception is a horrible misconception held within society. The worst part is 57 percent of women polled in a recent poll believe this theory. These women are voting for President Barack Obama based on the idea that he is for their personal rights because their rights are nothing more than contraception. The Obama Camp would like for women to believe that they are so helpless they cannot even find their own contraception. Adding to this list would be the Obama campaign’s “Life of Julia,” a cartoon portraying a woman through every stage of her life with the government assisting her all along the way because she is incapable of doing anything herself without the government. The Republican Party is and always has been a proponent of women’s rights, but the party does not stop there; they are also for women. Women as humans with valuable thoughts, who are an equal part in the progression of America, and who mean so much more than contraception. Women have fought for generations to be seen as people, but they must also be wary of the Liberal Left’s belittlement, or history is sure to repeat itself, and women are sure to start losing their significance in society because all they will be is contraception.

Iowa State forces turnovers in upset win against TCU
Saturday Final
By Stephen.Koeningsfeld @iowastatedaily.com FORT WORTH, Texas — With some help from an offense that was lacking in its conference opener, the ISU football team was able to clinch its first conference win against No. 15 TCU last Saturday. What helped the Cyclones achieve this feat wasn’t only the surprise start of quarterback Jared Barnett, but the ISU defense, which forced five total turnovers. Defensive tackle Jake McDonough said going on the road is something the defense looks forward to. “A lot of us would agree, we like coming into hostile environments,” McDonough said. The defense intercepted three passes from quarterback Trevone Boykin, who got called up after Casey Pachall was suspended one day before TCU’s inaugural Big 12 home opener. The interceptions played a key role from the defensive standpoint in being able to come out of Fort Worth with a win against TCU for the first time in school history. One interception was picked off by Jake Knott, who brought his interception back 34 yards before being brought down out of bounds. “I had intentions to bring it all the way back,” Knott said. “But I heard the sidelines say ‘get on down, get on down.’ So I made the right decision.” Knott’s interception was his second this season and the eighth of his career — tying him for ninth all time. Defensive end David Irving also brought back a tipped pass from the

line of scrimmage for a 20-yard return for a touchdown and his firstcareer interception to put the game away 37-23 with 7:51 remaining. Continuing a trend from last season, TCU dominated the possession time, having the ball for more than 10 more minutes than Iowa State. However, Iowa State was able to score 14 of their 37 points from special teams and defense. As opposed to the week before, the offense was able to put up 30 points on its own against TCU, including four touchdowns — three receiving, one passing — from Josh Lenz. Having the offense produce on the field gave the defense a breather. “Any time the offense goes out there and controls the drive and not turn the ball over, that’s a big confidence boost to the defense,” Knott said. “Because if you do something bad, you’re not going to have to worry about it as much.” McDonough explained what helped the defense’s ability to adjust to TCU’s offensive style and tempo. “[The tempo] was a lot slower paced, they huddled and we were able to get the play calls in slower,” McDonough said. On the flip side, Iowa State committed a season-low of just one turnover — a Barnett interception thrown just before the end of the first half. The turnover battle has been something ISU coach Paul Rhoads has said needs to be won in order win games. “It was great to end up on the plus side today [in turnovers],” Rhoads said. “The turnover margin is about both sides of the ball. Our guys were

hungry and got after it today and created some of their own, and we were able to take advantage of it or score with it.” Rhoads said the two critical turnovers were those of Irving and Knott.
Getting the interception returned for a touchdown and taking the ball away from TCU in the red zone was important, Rhoads said, so the Cyclones weren’t in an uneasy position late in the game.

ISU splits matches at new sports complex By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com For the first time in program history, the ISU soccer team took on West Virginia on Sunday afternoon and was unable to get the victory. The Cyclones came off a 2-0 win against TCU on Friday night at the new Cyclone Sports Complex. Iowa State (9-7, 1-4 Big 12) fell to West Virginia (9-33, 5-0 Big 12) 3-2 in a match filled with missed opportunities. Junior goalkeeper Maddie Jobe and junior forward Jennifer Dominguez kept the game competitive. “We played a full 90 minutes, I think, which is something we’ve been aspiring to do for a while now,” Jobe said. “We finished our chances, but we could’ve finished a few more obviously.” The Cyclones got off to an early lead with a goal by Dominguez in the second minute, with assist by junior

midfielder Meredith Skitt. “I think we all worked hard. We all brought everything to the table for all 90 minutes,” Dominguez said.
After the first goal, the Cyclones began to struggle in shooting. Iowa State only had 13 total shots while West Virginia attempted 21 shots.
“There were a lot of just missed shot opportunities when we should have pulled the trigger, and we decided to pass,” said ISU coach Wendy
Dillinger. “I can think of six right off the top of my head.” In the second half, Dominguez finally ended the Cyclone offense’s struggle by netting a goal in the 85th minute, assisted by junior defender Jessica Stewart. “[Dominguez] created a lot of chances for us, but we need to get more offensive production from the other attackers,” Dillinger said. Although she allowed three goals in the match, Jobe’s play kept the game close for Iowa State. Jobe accumulated 10 saves on the afternoon in her first start since being injured in the game against UW-Milwaukee. “[She] played great. I thought she made some key saves,” Dillinger said. “[The score] could have been six or seven with some of the balls she snagged.” Iowa State will play in-state rival Drake 1 p.m. Sunday in Ames at the Cyclone Sports Complex.

>>UPSET.p1 time since 1977 that Iowa State has beaten a top-25 team on the road (2421 win at No. 9 Nebraska). “You have to give all the credit to coach Rhoads and Iowa State,” said TCU coach Gary Patterson after the game. “They came into our house, beat us fair and square, and pushed us around. That is only our fourth loss in four years.” Staring down the barrel of another possible four-game losing streak for the team’s second straight 3-1 start, a breath of fresh air for the Cyclones came in the play of quarterback Jared Barnett. Barnett again marked his first start of the season with a win on the road against a ranked team from Texas. After the game, Rhoads said he named Barnett the starter last Friday before the team’s walkthrough after seeing him progress through practice as the favorable choice. “There was probably experienced poise, if that makes sense,” Rhoads said of Barnett. “Last year as a redshirt freshman, he went out there with probably pretty strong nerves and performed. Today, he knew he could do that — he’s done that in the past.” Barnett beat out quarterback Steele Jantz, who turned the ball over four times while completing 50 percent of his passes in the team’s loss to Texas Tech on Sept. 29, for the starting role. The Garland, Texas, native went 12-for-21 for 183 yards with three
We want to be those teams that people want to upset. We’ve been working towards this for a long time, so it feels good to come down here and get the win.” Josh Lenz
touchdowns and one interception and is now 4-3 as a starter. The choice target for Barnett revealed itself in Josh Lenz, who tallied three receiving touchdowns — the first time an ISU receiver caught three touchdown passes since Todd Blythe did so against Texas A&M in 2005 — while notching a career-high 147 receiving yards. “It’s not unexpected coming from Josh; he’s a great player, a great receiver. He’s able get open very well,” Barnett said. Lenz accounted for four total touchdowns — three receiving and one passing on a trick play for his second-career passing touchdown — for what Rhoads agreed was the defining game of his career as a true senior. Also coming to fruition for the Cyclones was the play of the offensive line, which allowed one sack of Barnett after allowing four of Jantz against Texas Tech. “Our strength coach has been harping on them all week, saying that they were weak, and that they couldn’t handle it,” Barnett said. “I
think they really responded today. They played well against a very good defensive line.” The defense was able to hold the Barnett Horned Frogs (41, 1-1) to 23 points, extending Rhoads’ record to 19-1 when holding opposing teams to less than 24 points. Senior linebacker Jake Knott Knott said having Barnett go out and lead the offense to execute helped the defense keep its consistency. “He was a spark for the offense,” Knott said of Barnett. “To go out Lenz there and get playmakers the ball and make smart decisions, especially just watching it as a defensive guy, it gives you a ton of confidence to go out there and battle.” Rhoads The defense struggled to keep up its production against Texas Tech as the offense sputtered to 189 total yards. With the heart of the Big 12 schedule on the horizon for Iowa State, the notion of an upset now becomes even less of a rarity.
Among Josh Lenz’s four total touchdowns, one came in the form of a 15-yard pass to Ernst Brun in the fourth quarter to give the Cyclones a 30-20 lead with 13:33 remaining in the game. “[Lenz] really took advantage of the opportunities and that’s what successful teams do,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “When you’re targeted and you get the opportunity to make a play — whether it’s a reception, whether it’s a throw — you’ve got to step up.
■■ Iowa State is now 4-1 for the first time since 2002. ■■ Iowa State has now beaten a ranked opponent in three consecutive seasons for the first time in program history (W 28-21 vs. No. 22 Texas in 2010, W 41-7 vs. No. 19 Texas Tech in 2011, W 37-23 vs. No. 15 TCU in 2012). ■■ Iowa State defeated TCU for the first time ever (1-3 all time). ■■ Iowa State defeated a top-15 team on the road for the first time since 1977 (W 24-21 vs. No. 9 Nebraska).
■■ Paul Rhoads is now 19-1 as the ISU coach when limiting teams to fewer than 24 points. ■■ This was the fourth game this season in which Iowa State had not trailed at any point during regulation. ■■ Iowa State is now 12-2 under Paul Rhoads when winning the turnover battle and is 7-1 when scoring more than 35 points. ■■ With the win, Iowa State is now ranked No. 25 in USA Today’s Top 25 poll.
“I think it’s been feeding into it all along,” Rhoads said of his team’s past upset victories. “I believe we’ve got a good football team. I said leading into it [that] we
have our most talented team, and now it’s our job as a program to put the best team out there. “We need to be a good football team.”

“In good programs, their fourth-year seniors, their fifth-year seniors step up ... and he led the charge.” Last season, Lenz tossed a 40-yard touchdown in his first-ever pass attempt in Iowa State’s 24-20 win against UConn on the road. When asked whether he would be involved in more trick plays to boost his passing stats, Lenz hesistated. “I don’t know, my shoulder’s a little sore right now,” Lenz said with a smile. “So we’ll see.”

The popular dice game known as Yahtzee was created by a Canadian couple who played it aboard their yacht — hence the name. A shrimp can swim backwards. Babies have more bones in their bodies than adults. As the babies grow older, some bones eventually fuse together (like in the skull), resulting in fewer bones as an adult. In what countries are people most likely to help a stranger? In a 2010 survey, Liberia and Sierra Leone were #1 and #2. A 17th century children’s game called “dibstones” was similar to what we call “jacks” today, only back then sheep’s knuckles were used instead of little metal gizmos. In Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 thriller Psycho, the sound effects for the famous shower scene were actually created by repeatedly stabbing a casaba melon.

LADY IS A
VAMP
A DARKER SHADE OF LIPS By Emily Ortiz ISD Style Writer
Photo courtesy of Nordstrom. Darker lips are gaining traction in fashion circles, and this trend’s hopped into the mainstream, looking chic and edgy on any woman.
It seems that as the hot summer weather is disappearing, so is the trend of the overly glossed, nude, Kim Kardashian- style lip. The bold, vampy lip is making a huge comeback this season, and burgundy and plum lip colors were all over the runways during the past fashion weeks at shows from Missoni to Diesel. A strong lip is a simple and easy way to update your look and transition your ward-
robe. Replacing the classic red lip with a darker wine hue will keep your look fresh and modern. Some key tips to remember are always make sure your lips are smooth and moisturized before adding the color. After all, nothing is worse than a beautiful lip color with a flaky, cracked base. Also after applying, clean up any harsh edges or lines with a Q-tip or concealer. As for your other makeup, don’t overwhelm and instead keep it simple with neutral eyes and basic liner, and keep your face bronzed with just a
hint of neutral rosy blush. You can achieve this look on any budget, from high end cosmetics to drugstore brands. Our picks include NARS velvet matte lip pencil in Damned and Revlon’s Super Lustrous lipstick in Black Cherry. Of course, if these are too bold for your liking, you can simply pat them on the lips for a just-bitten, stained look as well. Fall in love with these rich tones this season that will flatter any skin and hair color. This look will add instant drama and glamour to any cozy fall or winter outfit.

MARK THE BEGINNING OF FALL WITH SOPHISTICATED CHAMBRAY By Katie Henry ISD Style Writer
Photo courtesy of Target Chambray can be found at a variety of prices, from vintage thrift shops and Target to high quality threads at stores like J.Crew and Banana Republic.
Once you retire your white pants after Labor Day, you’re probably a little heartbroken. White pants are the staple of the spring and summer. Now that fall has arrived, a new staple needs to be added to your wardrobe. Chambray. Here at Style, we started seeing chambray everywhere – especially on Pinterest – and hesitated at first because 90 percent of the time, we’re not a fan of jean tops. This lightweight denimlook fabric, however, looks great for fall. The versatility of a chambray shirt never ceases to amaze, though. It’s stylish whether dressed up or down, and it comes in a ton of different styles and price ranges. Luckily, you don’t need to splurge in order to adopt this staple. Of course, with our obsession, we bought three, for no more
than $20 each. You can find these anywhere from Forever 21 to Target, where it’s found in sheer, distressed or lightweight variations. The best part is that it is great on both men and women – a truly unisex look. It adds a touch of class on guys, and on women it’s a bit of a boyish flair. Our favorite way for the ladies to wear chambray is to layer it over a white V-neck, a pair of black leggings and some tall brown boots. Get a little creative and add a chunky necklace or your favorite bracelet. For a business casual look, try a black pencil skirt and a simple pair of pumps. For men, wear a chambray button-up with a pair of khakis and a cardigan, and dress it up or down with a pair of oxfords or sneakers depending on the occasion. All too soon, we’ll get to our favorite bone-cold Iowa winters, but you don’t have to pack away your chambray. Try a thicker version with your favorite scarf, and you’ll be sure to stay warm.

HITTING A MOVING TARGET STUDENTS AIM FOR JOBS AND INTERNSHIPS
By Kaylee DeLacy ISD Style Writer What do you think of when you think of Target? Is it their always stylish clothing at ridiculously affordable prices? Perhaps Target is your go-to for weekly grocery shopping. Regardless of your mission, Target is always sure to satisfy your needs in a slightly more stylish manner. Although most of us love shopping at the affordable retailer, many of us haven’t considered their multitude of career options. Based out of Minneapolis, Target’s apparel department is one of the largest fashion businesses in the midwestern United States, with a corporate headquarters of
more than 10,000 employees. Recently, the retail giant has been reinventing their stores and layouts to modernize and better cater to their customers. In the next year, Target will open more than 100 stores in Canada. Because of all of this growth, Target Corporation has some of the most competitive and coveted internships for apparel students at Iowa State. Representatives from Target headquarters, distribution centers and stores came to campus last week for the fall Engineering and Business, Industry and Technology career fairs. During the week, representatives for all three sectors gave presentations proving that Target is a great opportunity for all
majors, not just apparel students. Target describes their environment as “fast, fun and friendly.” Chris Dove, senior in technical design, agrees. Dove served as an Apparel and Accessories Technical Design Intern at Target’s headquarters in Minneapolis this summer. Dove described the corporate culture as collaborative, where everyone is “always networking.” Target offers 10-week paid internships in multiple areas including product design and development, buying, and distribution. Their presentation catered to multiple majors, encouraging all with a 3.0 GPA or higher to apply.

OPPORTUNITIES
INTERN FAIR BRINGS TOGETHER STUDENTS
By Emily Ortiz ISD Style Writer
The upcoming Apparel, Events and Hospitality Management Intern Fair might be bigger and better than ever. The department has more interns throughout the academic year and summer than any other program at Iowa State, and the fair allows
these interns to share their opportunities with other students. In the past, the department has held their annual internship fair in the Lebaron Lobby, with minimal space for all the intern booths and attendees, but the fair has outgrown this space. “This year the internship fair is going to be much bigger and much better,” said event coordinator Anna Le, senior in apparel, merchandising, design and production.
Past years’ fairs have been small in scale, but this year, Le said, is ambitious. “We want the event to have a more formal feel to it,” Le said. This year’s fair will be held at the Alumni Center and will be catered by Hy-Vee. The event planners are prepared to set up booths for 174 previous interns who worked at various companies from Land’s End to Diane von Furstenberg and everywhere in between.

“In addition to the 174 interns that will be in attendance, we are also expecting around 500 attendees,” said Kiley Belland, senior in apparel, merchandising, design and production. “I had a great internship at Collective Brands in Kansas City, and I think this event will be a great networking tool for our department,” said Belland. The internship fair will be from 4:10 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.
