Remembering veterans Ceremony honors fallen soldiers who were ISU students

By Jesa.Wolthuizen @iowastatedaily.com On the 11th day of the 11th month each year, the United States pays tribute to those who have served in the military with the observation of Veterans Day. Veterans Day is an opportunity to honor the U.S. military and those who have died while serving.

A ceremony at the Memorial Union on Thursday afternoon, on the eve of Veterans Day, did just that.

A remembrance ceremony in the Great Hall honored four former ISU students who died during military service.

Photo: Huiling Wu/Iowa State Daily The Gold Star Hall Ceremony honored fallen soldiers who are former ISU students on Thursday in the Memorial Union. Three died in the Korean War, while one died in the conflict in Afghanistan.

The program began with the presentation of the colors and the national anthem.

“These men felt a call to duty,”

said Lt. Col. Michael Novy. “They set aside personal desires for the good of humanity.”

International Night to feature dance, food

By Mihyar.Abdelgalil @iowastatedaily.com This year’s International Night will feature performances from various countries and regions including Sri Lanka, Malaysia, China, Puerto Rico and Russia. The African Students Association will perform African dances; Turkish dances will also take place at the event, along with two well-known Indian dances, Chakras and Bhangra.

International Night will start at 6:30 p.m.

Friday in the Memorial Union’s Great Hall.

The International Student Council presents International Night as an annual festival promoting Iowa State’s diversity.

International Night is at the climax of International Week, which has so far included events such as the International Bazaar, a scavenger hunt and International Movie Night. The week comes to a close Saturday with its final event, the 12-Hour Famine at the MU. Many students and organizations around campus have participated in the events so far;

Vice President of Student Affairs Thomas Hill spoke at the program, reminding the audience that they were there to represent four people from the ISU community.

“I am honored to call them my own,” Hill said. “They were a part of our community and they will continue to be a part of it.”

Each soldiers name was engraved upon the wall in Gold Star Hall of the Memorial Union.

Three of the men — Dean Edward Fredericks, Robert Duaine Peterson and Charles Walter Rhinehart — died in the Korean War. Joseph John Hamski died in May 2011 in the conflict in Afghanistan.

Celebrity News Notes and events.

Billy Crystal to host Academy Awards Welcome back, Billy Crystal.

After Eddie Murphy exited his hosting duties for the 84th Academy Awards on Wednesday, the Academy made quick work of finding a replacement, and they went with a familiar face.

The news spread quickly on Thursday afternoon after the actor tweeted, “Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions.

Looking forward to the show.”

This Oscars ceremony has had a few behind-the-scenes tweaks over the past week, starting with former co-producer Brett Ratner’s resignation.

The “Tower Heist” director used a gay slur during a screening last weekend, and critics quickly called for Ratner to be stripped of his Academy Awards production duties.

Ratner apologized for his comment, and on Tuesday had resigned from the job. Eddie Murphy quit next, saying he understood the perspectives of all parties involved and wished the new producer and host the best.

So now we have veteran filmmaker Brian Grazer in the co-producer seat along with Don Mischer, and Billy Crystal as host.

The 84th Academy Awards will air Feb. 26, 2012.

Whitney Houston talks ‘Sparkle’ Whitney Houston has nothing but kind words for her “Sparkle” remake co-star Jordin Sparks.

“She knows how to look,” Houston said in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight.” “Her voice is like an angel’s. I think [‘Sparkle’s’] going to let the world see that the ‘American Idol’ that was chosen and won is truly capable of handling it.”

Houston is starring in and producing the upcoming remake of the 1976 hit, which was loosely based on the story of The Supremes.

Sparks is playing the titular character, and Houston’s playing her mom. “She’s very quick, very good,” the diva gushed to “ET” of the “Idol” alum.

Cee-Lo Green and Mike Epps also star in the movie, which will be Houston’s first role since the 1996 film “The Preacher’s Wife.”

“Sparkle” hits theaters next year.

Professor provides chance 11/11/11 date creates to solve real-life problems buzz about significance Research project gives students new experience

Some believe number 11 has lucky properties

By Ben.Theobald @iowastatedaily.com John Hauptman, professor of physics and astronomy, gave his students a chance to develop solutions for real-life problems.

Hauptman and his class became a part of the DREAM project, a multinational research group whose mission is to advance science through developing physics and scientific projects.

“We needed some new portable power supplies,” said Aaron Bazal, sophomore in electrical engineering, who worked on an intensifying project for half a semester.

“I went out and researched the project. I built it from the ground up and put it all together.”

Working with Hauptman was a valuable experience for Bazal.

“He has a lot of experience and he gives us enough room to do our work, but at the same time keeps a close enough eye on us so we don’t get too off topic or far away,” Bazal said.

One of the unique approaches for the students was that all the equipment that was used was recycled from old experiments.

“Typically they just spend money on new equipment every single time,” Bazal said.

For Bazal, one of the most valuable things taken from working on these scientific projects was the experience.

“I learned to see how things function and where

they fit in,” Bazal added.

The experiments were funded by the Department of Energy. Another experiment required students to build a calorimeter that measures the incoming energy of a particle.

“The idea of any physics is that you collide particles and whatever comes out, you better measure it,” Hauptman said. “It comes out of the velocity of light and you get a collision every billionth of a second. It’s a real challenge to do this kind of an experiment.”

Hauptman said the problems the students solve are valuable for students as it gives them a new way of learning.

“You can a lot from books, but there’s a lot of things you don’t learn from books,” Hauptman said.

However, these products may not come to fruition, but Hauptman is hopeful.

“These projects could be a total waste of time and money,” he said. “You never know

though that you may end up developing solutions that could be very useful later on.”

It all started with James Clerk Maxwell, a 19th century Scottish physician who, through his research, developed the theories that would later be used to create devices such as cellphones.

“Developing those electronic magnetic waves for those devices came from Maxwell’s equations,” Hauptman said. “Without those equations, you wouldn’t have those devices.”

Hauptman believes that science is one of the pillars of the economy because of the solutions that come from it.

“Scientific research and development in physics and chemistry departments are worth a lot of money,” Hauptman said. “This has been said and I believe it, just about 80 percent of the wealth of the Western democracies comes from physics. We don’t spend nearly as much enough money on scientific research.”

philanthropy and are looking forward to everyone coming together for a worthwhile philanthropic cause.

“I think our Arrowspike Volleyball Tournament will be a success because our Greek community and the Iowa State community as a whole have very strong support for philanthropies and giving back to those in need,” said Moira Sullivan, president of Pi Beta Phi and senior in management and marketing.

To keep the tournament running efficiently, Kelly Pickering, Pi Beta Phi member and a member of the club volleyball team, has been involved in the logistics of it. She is looking forward to the championship game in which the

winner will face off against the women’s club team.

“Some of my friends from the men’s team are participating, and I think they will definitely give the girls a run,” said Pickering, senior in marketing and advertising. “It should be fun and I know there are a lot of good competitors in the greek community that will make it a very competitive environment.”

Teams of six can register for $30 and an individual player can be placed on a team for $8 at www.pibetaphi.org/ iastate. Payment and registration forms can be turned in to Pi Beta Phi, at 208 Ash Ave., and checks can be made out to Pi Beta Phi. Registration is preferred by Friday.

people will have a better understanding of the diversity on campus ... In addition, it brings everybody closer together.”

Along with various dances, the event will provide food, music, singing, dancing, poetry, fashion shows and videos representing the different cultures.

“All the different student associations put in a lot of effort in promoting International Night, so I think

everybody on campus should come and join us for this special night,” Liew said.

Today is a date that happens only once every 100 years (like every other day for the past century) but this year, Nov. 11 has an impeccably unique date: 11/11/11.

Enthusiasts all over the Internet have been buzzing about the date for months, and numerous websites and forums have popped up to explore and discuss the spiritual, emotional or apocalyptic ramifications of 11/11/11.

Aside from the swell in weddings, hopes for childbirths and the release of Skyrim, there are several theories about the significance of the number that make the day special for many.

For all the numerology buffs out there, the number 11 has interesting properties itself.

While it is heralded for its synchrocity, the number itself is widely considered to be a lucky number for gamblers and is significant for its mathematical properties.

According to many forums, such as 1111spiritguards. com, the number 11 has a tendency to appear much more frequently than other numbers, or a property called in synchronicity.

Synchronicity is a tendency for something to occur without any discernible casual connection.

1111spiritguards.com is a site that explores the phenomenon and claims that repetitions of numbers, specifically the number 11, is a signal from

angels that are conveying uplifting spiritual messages.

“These 11:11 wake-up calls on your digital clocks, mobile phones, VCRs and microwaves are the ‘trademark’ prompts of a group of just 1,111 fun-loving Spirit Guardians, or Angels, and the 11:11 prompt is their way of using our innate ability for pattern recognition to let us know that they are here,” the site said.

Some theories point to it as the beginning of the countdown to the end of the world, according to the Mayan calendar.

The calendar began in 3012 and ends on Dec. 21, 2012.

Although the theory is widely disputed, some people believe Dec. 21 will be the end of the world.

Another website is Lightworkers.com, dedicated to Global Unity Meditation that features several tributes to the event, including forums, meditation tips and even poetry.

According to the site, the event will create a “collective awakening” across the world.

“The triple date portal of 11/11/11 is a cosmic trigger that launches all life into a simultaneous raising of vibrational frequency,” the site said.

“This carries the potential to catalyze major impacts within the planetary grids, causing a very swift polarity reversal within our consciousness.”

This causes a reactivation of our cellular memory banks.

There’s a stirring deep inside, a hint of remembrance of something long forgotten.

“This keystone activation will launch the ascension process for all choosing humanity, triggering a powerful sequence of portal openings across the globe.”

Editorial

Penn State: Success comes with honor Hagiography is always dangerous.

Outside its usage in Christian circles when discussing the saints, it refers to uncritical or reverential biographies. Students, and really everyone, ought to remember that individuals are neither entirely bad nor entirely good. They are not completely infallible or totally at fault. Each and every person, no matter how great his or her achievements, has the potential to screw it up or cause harm.

In reacting to the firing of Penn State President Graham Spanier and head football coach Joe Paterno, everyone should remember that building up and devoting enormous amounts of energy to academic and athletic programs, respectively, does not redeem a failure to report improprieties done by a subordinate to authorities who can either stop the activity or punish it accordingly.

The failure to more thoroughly investigate and prosecute the allegations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky belongs to several individuals. While they may have done all that was legally required of them at the time, more can always be done. Going above and beyond is sometimes necessary.

Firing Spanier and Paterno may be an embarrassment to the Penn State community. But an even bigger embarrassment and drag on their success would be having a sex-abuse scandal under investigation on their hands, especially when there are so many questions about why eight boys were potentially victims in 15 years.

The scandal is an obstacle to them continuing to do their jobs well. No institution that retains individuals whose integrity is in such doubt can retain its credibility.

Some students have said the rioting by Penn State students, insisting they want Paterno to remain, is understandable. (In the words of one student, as reported by The Daily Collegian, “We stand united as students. We don’t care what anyone else has to say. We want Joe and we want him back.”) It is, if they care more about their university’s prestige and fame as an academic and athletic institution.

If, however, they are interested in upholding any standards of decency, the protests are reprehensible.

Rioting because their coach was dismissed after he may have declined to do all he could to protect a series of young boys is juvenile, repulsive and ignores the harm that befell eight boys.

Rioting in the way the Penn State students did is to selfishly think only of their own well-being. It ignores potential crimes and moral corruption.

Penn State’s athletics motto is “Success with honor.” In our view, success requires honor, and honor is a success in its own right.

Veterans

Strength of a soldier

The empty table is set to recognize prisoners of war and those missing in action.

Consider what it means to be a veteran on holiday

T

oday is Veteran’s Day. Much ado about the meaning of today will be made, and for good reason.

But what we hear often, we begin to take for granted and eventually ignore. Such seems to be the case with Veteran’s Day, Memorial Day or any other holiday for that matter.

Politicians and famous people trot out all the old speeches, repeating the same inspirational quotes and the same words others have said a thousand times before until the whole thing becomes a cliche. I know just writing about the merit of Veteran’s Day is in itself cliche, but hopefully this will serve to inspire you to think about it in a new way by considering what exactly it means to be a veteran.

The word “veteran” itself means someone who has a great deal of experience with something or in a job. For purposes here, that means someone who has experience in the military and, quite often, in war. But that doesn’t tell the whole story either because being a veteran has a greater meaning than just being someone who joined the military.

A veteran is someone who had the intestinal fortitude to walk into a recruiter’s office and sign their life away to the service of their country. The politics behind America’s military actions are debatable and the reasons why a person joins the military are many, but the common thread is the sheer guts it takes to hand that blank check over to your government for the amount of, up to and including, the most valuable thing that person has: their very life.

What’s more, the amount of Americans willing to sign their lives over to their country increases dramatically during war time. When the risk is greatest, you’ll find your countrymen standing in a line to sign those papers and take their oaths.

Think about that. When the odds of getting killed or permanently crippled are the highest, your fellow citizens are more likely to join the military, regardless of that risk.

Many veterans will make light of the situation and joke that combat is the most exciting thing you can do with your clothes on. Others will rightly testify that it’s the most terrifying and horrifying thing you can do in any state of dress.

And while there is no possible way to explain what combat is like to someone who has never experienced it and never had their life directly threatened by another human being, those

By Barry.Snell @iowastatedaily.com Americans who have been there can tell you that both the best and the worst of humanity is seen in war.

Watching the top of your friend’s head get removed by a piece of shrapnel from an exploding 88 round during The Bulge ... holding your buddy in your arms while he slowly bleeds to death in the jungle outside Khe Sahn after he was shot half a dozen times by the Cong ... or climbing up into your Humvee’s turret to man the 50 cal because your squadmate fell back inside, injured after an RPG exploded outside, only to reach up the grab the gun’s grips and instead grab his still attached hand.

Or it’s your head, your blood flowing into the grass or your hand blown off.

These are the stakes. Yet there are people willing to go do it and if asked, they’d go do it again in an instant. They experienced the most challenging situations beyond imagination and through it all cared for and loved each other in a way that literally makes them closer to each other than their own families.

They laid it all out for one another in their most vulnerable moments, living, loving, crying and dying together. It is a weird dichotomy, war. How can it be that such beauty exists — no, thrives — in the midst of such horror?

Millions of Americans that you don’t know and never will have agreed to risk going through this for you. Many of them came back home in a flagcovered box and some never came back at all. So what kind of person can love you so much that they would die for you without ever having met you?

Who can love their country so much that they would die for her and the principles she stands for? Who can take those risks and not expect any thanks in return, knowing that the thanks is, ironically, in having been one of the few to sign on the line and raise their right hand?

A veteran.

If the idea of that doesn’t stir your soul, nothing can. So if you see a veteran, shake their hand or maybe give them a hug. If you can’t think of anything to say, that’s OK. They’ll understand the message: Veterans, we love you.

Presidential election

Role requires executive experience W hile considering who I would like to be the next president of the United States, I’ve begun thinking of the things that I am going to look for in a candidate.

Obviously, his or her basic political beliefs should agree with mine. I’d like to see less emphasis on social issues and more placed on issues like the economy and the nation’s debt.

I’d like to see someone who can spur real action and not just spout eloquent speeches. I’d like to see someone who can be a real leader, an example for other politicians to look up to and engage in meaningful discussion with. I want a real person, not just a figurehead.

But in this list of qualifications, I also want someone with enough leadership experience to truly be qualified to serve as the president, the leader of the free world, the highest post in the land. I don’t want someone who has only owned a business or served as a congressperson. I want someone who has proven he or she has the ability to manage a state before I hand over an entire country to them.

Politics is a learning process. It is a skill to be developed. To be able to handle people, budgets, negotiations, disasters and killing terrorists requires practice and experience.

When choosing a doctor, are you going to choose the one straight out of school or the one with a few years under her belt?

When choosing a contractor, would you like your new house to be his first job ever? When choosing a lawyer, would you like yours to be her first case? Or when choosing a nanny or a vet or an accountant, wouldn’t you rather they had some experience?

By Jessica.Bruning @iowastatedaily.com Choosing a president should be no different. We as college students know better than anyone that it’s hard to get a job without experience and it’s hard to get experience without a job. It is a vicious cycle. But a business major doesn’t apply to be a bank president for their first job and a congressperson shouldn’t be applying for president.

Certain jobs provide you with certain skill sets. While being a member of the House or Senate certainly gets you into the arena and exposes you to the inner workings of Washington, it isn’t a true leadership position that qualifies you to be president. There are no life threatening decisions to be made on a dime, there are no natural disasters to handle, no troops to command and no people to appoint.

Every once in a while someone maybe comes along who possesses these abilities without having served in the office of governor.

Kennedy, Truman, Ford and Nixon all made names for themselves as presidents after only having served in Congress (for better or worse you can decide). It’s all a matter of personal opinion to decide who the “good” presidents were, but when I’m choosing a mechanic, I’d rather he’s worked on a few other cars before I hand mine over to him.

Website to give away gift cards

By Ashlee.Clark @iowastatedaily.com A chance to win a $50 gift card just got easier.

If 750 students sign up with DormDumpster. com, a new ISU website focused specifically on trading items, members will have a chance to win one of six $50 gift cards that will be available just in time for the holidays.

DormDumpster.com is looking for more students to become aware of the website and it’s purpose. The goal — to reduce throwing away and trading instead.

The more students on Dorm Dumpster, the better off everyone is because more people mean more bargains.

An incentive for signing up, as if getting good deals isn’t motivating enough, website founder Andy Campbell is giving students a chance to win a $50 gift card to a local businesses in Ames if they sign up on DormDumpster. com.

For every 250 students, two gift cards are given away.

Community shares with Farm to Folk

By Matt.Nosco @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State and ISU Dining Services hosted a panel centered around the importance and difficulties of local agriculture. One of the common themes among the group of expert panelists was how these small farms can sustain themselves when they either face small orders at fair prices or large orders with lower prices to compete with large commodity agriculture outfits.

A food-buying club in Ames provides a means for farmers to receive support and for Ames residents and ISU students to purchase local fare from a variety of farms in a centralized location.

“Farm to Folk is a way to connect local farmers with consumers who want to buy fresh produce, along with other items like meat, dairy and eggs,” said Marilyn Andersen, the program’s coordinator.

The program offers two options to its customers: a community-supported agriculture share and an a la carte selection.

“A CSA share allows for a customer to invest in a farmer’s oper-

ation before the season, and then to get a share of their produce each week when they begin harvesting,” Andersen said. “The money for the shares go right to the farmers who use it for their up-front costs such as seeds, equipment and living costs.”

Andersen went on to explain that this up-front support can go a long way toward helping these local farmers. In some cases, the funds can prevent them from having to take out more interest-laden loans from the banks.

The a la carte option can help farmers sell extra fare they are having trouble distributing else-

where. They contact Andersen with the quantities of what they have, and then she uploads the information to the website. The consumer can then go to farmtofolk. com and select which items they’d like to pick up with a digital shopping cart.

Andersen said that some customers prefer this option because they don’t have to commit to a whole share, which can cost anywhere from $100 to $400 for a season, and can instead pick and choose which items they want each week.

Jan Mitchell has been going through Farm to Folk for several

years and purchased her first CSA share this year.

“I did my first share with Iowa Fresh Produce, and that was really satisfactory,” Mitchell said. “I’d been doing the a la carte for two years before then, so we’ll see what I do next year.”

Andersen said that although the service isn’t utilized by many undergraduates, it could be a valuable resource to ISU students.

“It really encourages a healthy diet that a lot of students don’t have and you have to be able to cook outside of your comfort zone,” Andersen said. “A lot of people, not just students, don’t know at first how to cook something that doesn’t come in a can or a box and we have a newsletter each week with recipes to give you ideas on how to use the produce.”

Farm to Folk also makes an effort to prevent the produce from being wasted when a customer can’t pick up their share.

Arrangements can be made to have someone else pick up for you, or if the items are still there at the end of the pick-up schedule, Andersen donates them to local food pantries or the Food at First kitchen.

Pick-ups are weekly on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 6:15 p.m. at the United Church of Christ Congregational, 217 Sixth St.

Regulations offer chance for fresh start

For a university that prides itself on energy research and sustainability, Iowa State burns an awful lot of coal — 154,463 tons per year — to be exact, according to the ISU “Live Green!” website. That coal produces more than 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, as well as a host of other chemicals not listed on the website.

Coal contains toxic heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic and lead. When the coal is burned, these chemicals are released into the air where they are inhaled by students and Ames residents alike. Mercury is of particular concern because it can cause birth defects and mental retardation in children.

Thankfully, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has made new regulations limiting the amount of mercury released by power plants. Three out of four alternative scenarios being considered to ensure Iowa State’s compliance with the new regulations still include burning coal, but when it comes to protecting our health and the environment, any coal is too much coal.

This review of our power plant is an opportunity for a clean start on a clean energy portfolio, and we can’t afford to pass it up. We need to move beyond coal.

Penn State: Lawyer: Victims could be scapegoats

By Mark Scolforo The Associated Press HARRISBURG, Pa. — A lawyer who is advising some of those who reported being sexually abused by a former Penn State assistant football coach said he is worried that people angry about Joe Paterno’s firing could turn them into scapegoats for the longtime coach’s sudden departure.

Harrisburg attorney Ben Andreozzi said Thursday that he believes the university trustees did not consult with the people he is advising before replacing the 84-year-old Paterno late Wednesday, a decision that prompted angry students to gather in downtown State College shouting support for the coach and tipping over a news van.

“These sexual assault victims are now watching people parade and riot around the streets,” he said. “Now you have a football institution crumbling, and to think that is not in some way going to impact these victims is naive.”

Andreozzi, who specializes in sexual abuse cases, said he has been working to provide therapy to some of the young men involved in the case, but stopped short of saying he represents them in any potential civil matters.

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s basketball team may have been on the court once already in 2011, but the real season starts at 1 p.m. Saturday in Hilton Coliseum against Lehigh.

After a year of waiting due to NCAA transfer rules, the much-hyped group of Chris Babb, Chris Allen and Royce White will take the floor for their first real game as Cyclones.

“I think the exhibition game was me getting my jitters out,” said White, a forward.

Hoiberg talked about the threat of facing a team that can shoot — Lehigh shot 41.6 percent from the field and 30.8 percent from 3-point range — before practice Thursday.

“Any time you play a team that can shoot the ball like that, it’s a scary situation,” Hoiberg said. “They were up by 16 in the second half, so I’m sure in their minds, they left one on the table [against St. John’s].

So we know they’re going to come in here ready to roll.”

Cyclones got the exhibition game out of the way to get all his new players — both the high-profile transfers and other newcomers — experience playing in front of a crowd.

“I think it was a good opportunity to play in front of the fans, especially for the guys who sat out last year, to get that first experience,” Hoiberg said.

“This one counts. Hopefully we come out and play our best.”

The Cyclones will face off against Mountain Hawks of Lehigh University. Hoiberg said the Hawks (0-1) will be a tough opening opponent, citing their 78-73 loss to St. John’s on Wednesday night as an example.

“We have to guard against showing up and expecting it to happen,” said coach Corey Ihmels. “I think if we come ready to run and do what we’re capable of doing we’ve got a shot.”

Last year, the women’s team scored 35 points for the Regional crown.

The next fastest team was Oklahoma, which totaled 105 points.

Leading for Iowa State was second-place finisher Betsy Saina, who finished the 6,000-meter race in 20:01.54.

The team will rely on Saina to finish near the top again.

After winning this year’s Big 12 Conference title, the women hope to continue their successful season.

The men placed fifth overall at Big 12’s and will be attempting to place third or fourth at regionals to have a shot at qualifying for nationals.

Ihmels said Oklahoma State and Oklahoma will most likely take the top two spots.

Senior Rico Loy, a consistent top finisher for Iowa State, has been to nationals twice, missing out on last year’s race by one spot.

“I really want to get in the top 10,” Loy said.

“I’m going to give everything I have.”

Sophomore Martin Coolidge is also in contention for an individual spot at Nationals.

“If both [Loy and Coolidge] are in a spot where they’re going to have an opportunity to get through as individuals then we’re probably going to have a good chance of doing well as a team,” Ihmels said.

Communication key for team Mansfield, Poppens voted Cyclones’ captains

By David.Merrill @iowastatedaily.com The post-Kelsey Bolte era is set to officially start Friday for the Cyclones. Iowa State kicks off the season against Houston Baptist.

Communication is going to be key for the Cyclones to start the season. Coach Bill Fennelly contracted throat cancer last month, leaving him with little use of his voice, and the Cyclones are going to be using hand signals to communicate.

“It’s a little difficult,” said junior guard/ forward Jessica Schroll. “Especially with the communications were problem on the team. If one person sees it and doesn’t say anything, that’s not going to help anything.”

Through the Cyclones’ exhibition game victories against Coe College and Rockhurst, the communication problems have mainly come at the deMansfield fensive end.

“We need to work on defense and communicating with each other,” said junior point guard Chassidy Cole. “We have a lot of screens being set and not a lot of people are taking, so we get mixed Poppens up. When that happens, we either get beat to the basket or have opposing players open.”

Senior shooting guard Lauren Mansfield and junior foward Chelsea Poppens were recently voted team captains for the upcoming season. Mansfield is making the switch from point guard

515.294.4123

getting another chance to get more comfortable with his new role.

He also told the group of reporters in attendance before Thursday’s practice that at the end of the day, it’s still basketball, regardless of where on the court he’s playing.

“The progress I’ve made from the first day of practice to now has been night and day,” Christopherson said. “The more and more I’m [playing point guard], the less thinking I’m doing. I don’t think being a point guard is that big of a deal. It’s not like I’m learning calculus here. At the end of the day you’re still just playing basketball.”

Hoiberg and his staff will be focused on the point guard by committee during the game. Prior to it, however, they’ll have to make a decision on senior guard Chris Allen, who sat out the second half of the exhibition game with a hip pointer suffered in practice.

Hoiberg said Allen is a game-time decision, and that the injury can be very painful, having suffered one himself during his playing days. He went on to say it’s a nagging type of injury that can take time to heal.

Allen, however, was upbeat when talking to reporters about his status for Saturday. “[The hip] is getting there,” Allen said. “[Thursday was] my first day practicing. Most likely I’ll play [Saturday]. It’s not hurting as bad as it was this past Sunday [in the exhibition].

I’m starting to get my flexibility and my strength back, so it’s coming along.”

The Cyclones tip off against the Mountain Hawks at 1 p.m.

Saturday in Hilton Coliseum.

to shooting guard with the departure of Bolte.

Mansfield averaged 8.8 points and 3.4 rebounds last season. Poppens and sophomore forward Hallie Christofferson showed their scoring prowess in the final exhibition victory against Rockhurst.

Both poured in 17 points to lead all scorers.

Houston Baptist struggled last season, having just moved up to Division I play, going just 4-25 overall while winning one game in the Great West conference.

The Cougars lost a large amount of their scoring load from last season. Last year’s leading score, Destini Texada, returns after averaging 12 points per game, but the team loses Jamie Spriggs and Tia Jackson, who both averaged nearly nine points per game.

“We’ve been working on our zone defense a lot,” Schroll said. “We’ve worked on doubling in the post and doubling on the guard, so using that is going to be a definite possibility.”
