Djalali finalist for LAS dean Chaden Djalali is one of five finalists for the dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Djalali received his bachelor’s degree in 1978 and his master’s degree in 1979, both in physics, from the University of Paris XI. He then received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics from the Institut de Physique Nucleaire Orsay in Paris, France in 1981. In 2004, Djalali became the chair of the department of the physics and astronomy at the University of South Carolina. During his career his main research has focused on intermediate energies or hadronic physics, studying structure of the proton and the neutron and their interactions. Djalali hopes to bring a passion for the liberal arts and sciences if he is chosen as the new dean and believes that the research and interest in students at Iowa State creates an exciting job opportunity. Djalali will speak at an open forum on Tuesday. The forum will begin at 3:30 p.m. in 1951 Food Sciences. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend and ask questions. Finalists Albert Boggess and Carolyn Cutrona, held their open forums last week. The last two finalists will arrive on campus later this week. Daily Staff
The Drink Pink Bar Crawl held Thursday, Oct. 27, had great success due to Iowa State students, the Ames community and the Colleges Against Cancer chapter on campus. The involvement of the Welch Avenue bars Cy’s Roost, Sips, Paddy’s Irish Pub and Outlaws, as well as Budweiser’s sponsorship, added to Colleges Against Cancer’s accomplishment in raising funds for the American Cancer Society. The rush of participants for the bar crawl resulted in the large mugs being sold out an hour into the event. “We had people waiting in line while we were still setting up booths to sell. The mugs were selling so fast that we had to start limiting one mug per person early on,” said Ashley Yingst, Colleges Against Cancer co-president. They had to sell mini mugs — “an accidental shipment turned blessing,” according to Jill Wedeking, team recruitment co-chairwoman and senior in dietetics — because of the willingness of people to drink for a cure. Roughly 1,450 mugs were sold, and the 150 mini mugs remaining will be sold at a booth in the Memorial Union sometime in November for $5. “The small mugs will still be honored on Thursday nights, and drinks are $1 cheaper in them,” Yingst said. Estimated numbers of profit right now are at more than $4,400, while the expected profit was only $2,352. Sales from T-shirts, bracelets, ribbons and donations have yet to be configured. The support and livelihood of the event showed students’ enthusi-

asm to end cancer was uncontainable. “It was truly an awesome sight to see the bright pink mugs everywhere you looked in the bars and outside walking up and down Welch,” Wedeking said. Support of the breast cancer awareness event stemmed not only
from students of drinking age but also from those unable to participate but still passionate about the cause. “Several of my friends gave me money to buy mugs for them even though they couldn’t actually participate in the event just to support breast cancer,” said Kelcie Reed, junior in

apparel, merchandising and design. “That was pretty neat to see that a lot of people didn’t even care about the ‘going out’ part of the whole event, they really just cared about where the money was going which is awesome.” The Drink Pink event allowed participants to enter into a drawing for a grand prize consisting of a party for 50+ people from Iowa Tents and Special Events along with gift cards to Fareway, Family Video and Van Wall PowerSports. The lucky winner was Brandon Plaht. Festivities throughout the evening were high spirited. “Bartenders and managers all commented throughout the night about how packed the bars were. There were lines outside of Cy’s [Roost] and Paddy’s by 10 p.m. because the bars were at capacity. It was amazing. I was so impressed with the turnout. The staff at all four bars was tremendous,” Yingst said. The bar managers even requested the student organization make this an annual event because of its abundant success in raising awareness in the fight against cancer. “The smile on my face after we sold out and were forced to sell more mugs should have been illegal. It’s nice to see everyone coming together for an amazing cause all while having fun at the same time!” Yingst added. The true meaning behind the bar crawl was evident and honored. “People came up to me throughout the night thanking me for the event, telling me their stories about how they know people affected by cancer, and how much they appreciated the hard work Colleges Against Cancer is doing this year,” Yingst said. “It made all the late nights working on CAC events, planning and fundraising even more worth it. When I spoke at the bars, I told people that we were doing this for them, for everyone.”

HALLOWEEN: A Haunted Forest for wildlife The Wildlife Care Clinic presented different types of birds on Monday at the Haunted Forest in Ames. They had a stand with information to help bring awareness and raise money to be able to continue the help.
After clinching its firstever Big 12 Championship title for the women’s team, ISU cross-country coach Corey Ihmels was named Big 12 cross-country coach of the year. “It’s a great honor,” Ihmels said. “I’ve got a great staff, and it’s just a tribute to their hard work, and our student athletes hard work.” Ihmels has taken a team that was once ninth in the conference to first. “When we took over, we were horrible,” said assistant coach Travis Hartke. “There’s obviously been a huge level of improvement.” Ihmels’ dedication to each athlete individually is an aspect Hartke attributes
to the success of the team. “He has high expectations, but at the same time believes in people’s abilities,” Hartke said. Ihmels is also known for accommodating each individual’s workouts to be flexible to their schedules, Hartke said. Sophomore Maggie Gannon said she appreciates Ihmels’ coaching and training. “Having the first women’s team to win Big 12’s in 21 years is a quite the accomplishment,” Gannon said. “Obviously we owe all of that to his training and his guidance.” Gannon also said she appreciates his straightforward style. “I like that he’s direct and to the point,” Gannon said. “He doesn’t sugarcoat things; he’s honest and says it like it is.”
