Memorial dedication

Tribute for a student By Ben.Theobald iowastatedaily.com

A memorial patio has been dedicated to Travis “TJ” Good, senior in civil engineering, who died suddenly last spring from bacterial meningitis. The patio was created by friends of TJ who wanted to create something on campus to commemorate everything he gave them during the four years he was at Iowa State. “He was a very special person to all of us, and I think we’ve really shown that in our dedication to have a mark made on Iowa State’s campus for him,” said Jaclyn Johnson, senior in landscape architecture. “We wanted a memorial that was something that showed how special he was to us, and we really wanted to commemorate him.” Good died April 13, less than a month from graduation. “We wanted something special, and in deciding how to do that, we came up with this design,” said Doug Hartwell, graduate student in construction engineering. “We wanted something that could kind of pay tribute to that and wrote out aspects that he would have done.” Hartwell was the project manager of the memorial patio. He brought in friends of TJ and members from the American Society of Civil Engineers to help with the memorial. “TJ always had a project going,” Hartwell said. “We wanted to make sure that it would be the kind of quality he would have done and with some of the same design aspects, so that’s what we considered.” The project brought a lot of people together and wouldn’t have been possible without the group that assembled to work on it, Hartwell said. The group finished the memorial patio and presented it to TJ’s family, who came to Ames for the dedication ceremony. “It was very moving,”

“Travis ‘TJ’ Good, Honorary Engineering Intern. 1987 to 2010. TJ was a civil engineering student at Iowa State from 2006 to 2010. In his time at Iowa State, he was an instrumental member and leader of the ASCE Student Chapter and Steel Bridge Club. TJ’s passion and creativity, which he exemplified in all aspects of his life, served as inspiration to all those who knew him. His memory will remain in our hearts forever.” Friends and other volunteers work to create a memorial patio near Town Engineering Building in honor of TJ Good.

said Larry Good, TJ’s father. “They did a wonderful job.” Johnson helped select

a site that was close to the Town Engineering Building. The patio is located on the

Good’s memorial plaque north side of the building, where Good spent many hours at work for school. “We wanted to pick a place where he spent a lot of his time,” Johnson said.

“After picking the site, we went through trying to figure what we wanted to do for the patio and what we wanted to do with the memorial tree.”

Students who commute can now look up and offer rides on the new and improved RideShare online board, sponsored by Government of the Student Body. GSB decided to make it more convenient for ISU students and staff to find a carpool by setting up a website that allows individuals to search existing carpools. “GSB had started the RideShare system online since 2006 that people in the university could use,” said James Parrott, GSB director of information technology and senior in computer engineering. “But that wasn’t secure or reliable. Anyone could access the page and post ride offers.” A bill was proposed in 2009 to make the website more secure by al-

Gold Star Ceremony honors fallen Delbert Ray Peterson

Peterson

Delbert Ray Peterson, of Manson, was the son of Raymond and Bernice Peterson. Peterson attended Iowa State from 1957 to 1962. In his time there, Peterson took Air Force ROTC training in Washington, and was initiated into the O’Neil Squadron of Iowa State’s Arnold Air Society. Upon graduating, Peterson was assigned to active duty in fall 1963. In November 1965, during the Vietnam War, Peterson was assigned to the 4th Air Commando Squadron (Fire Support), 14th Air Commando Wing, Tan Son Nhut Air Base, Vietnam, Seventh Air Force, where he co-piloted an AC-47.

Peterson was involved with a rescue mission for a U.S. Special Forces Camp that was surrounded by enemies. His plane was damaged and the crew made a crash landing on a mountain slope, where they had to station a defense against enemy attacks. Waiting for a helicopter to arrive, the crew defended against two enemy attacks which claimed the lives of two crew members and wounded another. Peterson was in command of the four remaining men when the helicopter finally arrived, when enemy machine gun fire threatened their chance of rescue. Peterson charged the gun, ceasing

the enemy fire as the helicopter picked up the remaining three crew members. Peterson wasn’t rescued. When last seen he was alive and seen crawling behind the crashed plane. He wasn’t found when ground forces returned to the crash site and presumed to be captured. Originally listed as missing in action, in February 1978 his status was changed to killed in action. During his time missing, he was promoted to major. Peterson was awarded the Air Force Cross. His remains were never recovered. Daily Staff

15-second ad to feature late bluegrass musician

Gibson, ex in LA court for custody hearing

The late father of bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, will be playing soon in New York’s Times Square to promote the Kentucky celebration of the centennial of his birth. The convention and visitors bureau for Owensboro and Daviess County, Ky., is putting a 15-second ad on a digital full-motion billboard on New York’s 42nd Street. Visitors bureau executive director Karen Miller told the Messenger-Inquirer of Owensboro that the spot will feature Monroe, bluegrass music and Owensboro and will run 18 times a day for 48 days at a cost of $15,000.

Mel Gibson appeared in court Wednesday for the first time for a custody hearing involving his infant daughter with an estranged ex-girlfriend. The Academy Award winner arrived for the all-day session about 10 minutes before Russian musician Oksana Grigorieva at a downtown Los Angeles courthouse, escorted by deputies. He remained out of sight during a lengthy morning break, but walked calmly through the courthouse with his attorneys to and from a luncheon strategy session.. Detectives also looked into allegations by Grigorieva that the actor-director abused her during a fight in January, although she waited months to report the incident. Potential evidence in that inquiry has been turned over to prosecutors, but no charges have been filed.

The house is in Snedens (SNEE’-dehnz) Landing. The artists’ enclave is in the hamlet of Palisades, N.Y., about 20 miles north of the city.

Jon Favreau to take on ‘Magic Kingdom’ movie Disney’s Magic Kingdom will live up to its name in an upcoming film in which the theme park actually comes alive. Deadline.com reports that “Iron Man” director Jon Favreau is set to take on “Magic Kingdom,” a fantasy film along the lines of “Night at the Museum,” only instead of exhibits coming to life, it will be Disney’s legendary park attractions. Though Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean” is already a successful film franchise and Eddie Murphy starred in 2003’s “Haunted Mansion,” this will be the first movie based on an entire park. A production date and cast lineup for “Magic Kingdom” have yet to be announced, but in the meantime there are a slew of Disney-related films in the works, including “20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.”

John Hubert Woodward, was from Hamburg and was the first soldier from his community to die in World War I. Born in 1892, Woodward attended Iowa State from the fall of 1911 to the spring of 1912 for

a one-year program in dairy science. He was drafted by the Army in 1914 as part of the L Company of the 117th Infantry Regiment — a National Guard division. Woodward and his unit ar-

rived in France during May of 1914. Despite the fact that Germany and Austria sent peace notes to the United States, Woodward’s unit progressed into the broken German line in October 1914.

It is likely that Woodward lost his life during the advance Oct. 6 near Ponchaux, France. Woodward was buried Oct. 10 at Sevier Cemetery and later moved to the American Somme Cemetery at Bony, France.

War, later moving to the country’s central region. Hoover died at 23 on July 14 in a 14-day assault by the Chinese on his artillery battalion. His remains were never recovered; he was a decorated soldier.

By Jaleesa.Epps iowastatedaily.com While many students are planning Thanksgiving with their families, Indian students are celebrating Diwali, a festival that celebrates Indian culture. Diwali literally means festival of lights. It signifies the removal of darkness with light and the victory of good over evil. The Indian Students’ Association is hosting Diwali Night on Saturday. The night will include a dinner of Indian cuisine and a showcase of cultural performances. Diwali night is traditionally observed by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains, but at Iowa State the entire student body can participate. There are a few differences in the way Diwali will be celebrated on campus versus in India. “In India during Diwali, we celebrate by giving gifts to each other, similar to Christmas. We also have lots of fireworks,” said Vijay Vammi, graduate student in computer science and events coordinator for ISA. For the 400 members of ISA, Diwali not only signifies a festival representing good over evil, but a time to congregate. “During Diwali, people eat, drink, dance and share food. Diwali can be celebrated at any location where there is an Indian, “ said Sree Nilakanta, associate professor of supply chain and information systems and adviser of ISA.

Research

Professor raises awareness about toxin By Elisse.Lorenc iowastatedaily.com Mercury is one toxin emitted from cement plants that the Environmental Protection Agency and some ISU students and faculty strive to mitigate. Say Ong, professor in civil, construction and environmental engineering, advocates the concerns about mercury emissions. “Mercury is emitted from power plants,” Ong said. “A large portion of it is from power plants, and so [the EPA is] going down the line to look at different manufacturing facilities and see the emissions. They have a goal in terms of how much they want to reduce in terms on mercury in the environment. The question is ‘how much are you going to reduce for each industry?’” The EPA makes regulations based on the maximum achievable control technology. “In cement, they never really had any technologies like that, and emissions are only based on the natural levels that were coming in,” said Joel Sikkema, graduate in civil, construction and environmental engineering. “The emissions achieved by these plants are naturally low in mercury concentration. Once you can make that [agency standard], then everybody

has to follow it and achieve it somehow.” Sikkema researches within the plants and observes how mercury concentrates over a period of time, what would trigger changes of concentration and spikes in emission levels, and what materials have the highest concentration in mercury. What’s important is “looking at how mercury desorbs from the materials and reabsorbs in the cool areas, then ... hopefully develop a more cost efficient technology then what’s available currently,” Sikkema said. Cement is a powder mixture consisting of about 85 percent limestone, which contains small traces of mercury. “The average amount of mercury in limestone is 20 parts per billion,” Sikkema said. “Mercury is a naturally occurring element. Usually it’s in the form of mercury sulfide, naturally in limestone.” Cement has other additives, such as sand and iron ore. They are crushed with the limestone into a fine powder, which is run through a tunnel process, where it is burned in a kiln. This produces clinkers, an unprocessed cement by the large balls that are formed. Clinkers are then crushed, making the cement powder, Ong said. Mercury is in the fuel for the kiln, which burns the limestone and other elements into cement. The fuel typically is coal, as it is widely available and

cheap. “The mercury in your coal is at low levels, but because they go through so much of it, it ends up being significant in terms of overall emissions from the plant,” Sikkema said. On average, a cement plant produces about 1 million tons of cement per year. With 100 cement plants in the United States, 100 million tons of cement are produced per year. About 1.6 tons of feed is required to produce 1 ton of cement. When cement production facilities go through that much material, even if the mercury is at low levels, there becomes an abundance of mercury in the atmosphere. A vital issue Sikkema is concerned with is the adverse health effects pertaining to the exposure of mercury. “At present, about 9,000 tons of mercury are emitted into the atmosphere annually. Surprisingly, approximately 6,000 tons are from natural sources, such as volcanoes, soil and water surfaces, weathering processes of Earth crust and forest fires,” Sikkema said. ™

223 Welch (Below Golden Wok restaurant) A twenty-four-year-old Ames business has adapted to cater more toward Asian international students. Golden Wok, on Welch Avenue, has expanded and opened up the downstairs portion of its building after a three month remodel. The once-was Laundromat has revamped into a chill karaoke lounge. “Ames didn’t really have anywhere to host Asian students,” said Casey Pang, Golden Wok assistant manager. The venue was designed to mimic some of the common hangouts in Asian cultures sometimes known as karaoke boxes. There are couches, big screen TVs, karaoke, arcade games and more. Pang described the building as a place where these international students can “feel at home.” The Karaoke Lounge has various rooms that are available to rent out by the hour. Each room is equipped with a karaoke setup and a Wii. On the weekdays the karaoke rooms can be rented for only $20 an hour, which includes a fruit tray. Its hours are from 10:30 a.m. to midnight. On weekends the karaoke rooms can be rented for $30 an hour, which includes a fruit tray and an appetizer. On the weekends, Golden Wok extends its hours until 2 a.m.

The karaoke systems have various languages to sing in including Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, English and more; therefore, many can enjoy the chic, new addition to Golden Wok. “It’s a fun alcohol-free place to hang out,” said Pang, “we want to show college students that you can have fun without drinking.” In the future, Pang says they may do some karaoke contests as well, so start practicing! In addition to the new remodel, Golden-Wok has added more to it’s existing menu. Asian style bubble tea drinks with sweet tapioca pearl, Asian treats and homemade ice creams have been added. All of these new items are also offered for dine in, delivery or carry out. On the weekends Pang says it can get “pretty crazy” in the lounge. It’s a popular place to hang out for the Asian students, which makes for a very fun night out. Overall, the new lounge is a diverse and eclectic space that can be used for many different things on weekends or weekdays. “It’s great because students can get drinks, sit down and relax, play cards, talk, do board games, sing karaoke, and we’ve even had study groups meet here on the weekdays,” said Pang.

Editorial

International

Like him or not, Bush’s book is interesting

Don’t follow leaders

George W. Bush has written a book, and by the critics’ responses, a fairly good one — pretty impressive for a guy who could never quite master the word “nuclear.” The big news associated with this, though, is his outright admission — both in the book, “Decision points,” and a related interview — of authorizing waterboarding as an “enhanced interrogation technique.” He defended his choice, saying that the lawyers advising him assured him that it was, indeed, not a violation of the anti-torture laws; and stating “I’m not a lawyer.” He went on to say, though, that the technique was only used on three people, and the information gained from it’s use led directly to the capture of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — noted al-Qaida leader — as well as stopping several violent terrorist plots. Our board had mixed thoughts on this; just as pretty much everyone else out there is almost certain to. While it’s downright Machiavellian to justify waterboarding by saying, “Well it worked, didn’t it,” the president was assured by trusted advisors that the technique wasn’t something to be avoided — and, well, war isn’t pretty. It should be noted, too, that waterboarding is not officially considered torture by NATO. When it comes right down to it, most people will go to fairly great lengths to protect the people they love and care about, and fake-drowning is well within that range. Regardless of his actual ability to, you know, be president, we don’t doubt that he does love the United States and all its citizens. Regardless of the mentality or results, waterboarding is tantamount to drowning. The majority of the board agrees that we can rationalize all we want, but ultimately torture is torture, and so is drowning. We, as a country, have the means to set an example and should do everything within our power to do so. Waterboarding, legal or not, is reprehensible and clearly does not represent the U.S. well. However, that is not all of the noteworthy content the former president has been putting out. The book, as well as his interview, goes over everything from his ﬁrst thoughts upon hearing about 9/11 — utter rage — to his chastisement at the hands of the always exemplary Kanye West, calling it maybe the lowest point of his presidency. It’s surprising he’s cognizant of West, but it’s absolutely mind-boggling to think that a former leader of the free world said the worst moment of his tenure was being chastised during a telethon by a rapper with an ego big enough to think he can pull off shutter shades. And the surprises keep coming. Bush keeps from criticizing the current president, which is in keeping with the overall bipartisan feel that the book exudes; even acknowledging that his presidency ended on an ugly note. When asked about his lack of comment, he gives the impression of identifying with a president who has low approval rating. All in all, the book has done a very good job of bringing Bush back into the public eye. Not only that, but it paints a very threedimensional portrait of a man who many thought of as, quite honestly, a simpleton. Regardless of our differing opinions on his presidency and varying degrees of disagreement with some of his policies, we were overall surprised at the openness, honesty and character put into the book and the interviews surrounding it.

Middle Eastern countries need to take responsibility for their own well being

ave you ever wondered why the Middle East is so messed up? Two weeks ago, 58 people died in the attack on a church in Iraq. Two days later, 114 people died after 14 explosions targeting Shiite neighborhoods rocked Baghdad. When I read this I couldn’t help but think how miserable and unfortunate we, the Middle Easterners, are. The Middle East seems to be a miserable part of the world where people are destined to eternal suffering. Middle Eastern people are generally judged by Western measures: they are so poor and ignorant because they let the tyrants take control of their lives. They are slaves to their rulers and, until they fight against them, they will remain so. Part of this is true. We are slaves to our rulers. There is no more proof for that than the way Egyptians reacted when they lost one-sixth of the Egyptian territory to Israel in the Six Day War in 1967. When President Nasser resigned after this defeat — the worst defeat in Egyptian history since the Asiatic people, the Hyksos, invaded the northern part of Egypt in 1720 BC — Egyptians begged him not to step down. When Nasser took back his resignation, people were cheering in the streets. They were cheering for the very same Nasser who turned Egypt into a police state, turned prisons into torture exhibitions and lost a war against a significantly smaller army in only six days. So why are we worshipping our enslavers? Why don’t we rise and fight them? This behavior of submission is a result of centuries — or let’s say millennia — of oppression. We’ve lost all ability and all capabilities to strike back against our enslavers. Deprived from every right to decide for ourselves, we became so reliant on our tyrants that we now cannot live without them; we’ve been slaves for so many years that freedom is dreadful to us, and we prefer to be lead. As American philosopher Eric Hoffer said, “To the frustrated, freedom from responsibility is more attractive than freedom from restraint”. The situation in the Middle East is best described by the short story “The Darkness” written by Naguib Mahfouz, 1998 Egyptian Nobel prize laureate in literature. In the story, several drug-addicts are gathered to smoke pot in a remote and secluded room, a haven provided by a master drug-pusher — the tyrant — where the clients are completely under his control — metaphor for a police state. The master provides the necessary protection and darkness for the drug-addicts to remain stoned.

One evening, the master, who monopolized the right for speech, falls silent. The drug-addicts grope in the dark to ﬁnd out that the master’s place is vacant, that they are trapped in a dark room without windows, with a securely locked door. They try to dispel the darkness with matches only to ﬁnd that their match-boxes have been stolen — metaphor for people having no access to information in a police state. They also discover that their IDs have been stolen as well — the identity of the people is melded into the personality cult of the leader. The moral of the story is that, under a police state, people are completely reliant on their oppressor who degraded them from all their rights and they are helpless without him. They cannot get out of darkness be-

cause they don’t have the means to, and they will not have the means to make such step until they are out of the darkness. After the fall of Roman Empire in 410 AD, Europe lived for more than a thousand years in the same dilemma until they got out of it only thanks to the Enlightenment philosophy. However, the Middle East doesn’t seem to be ready yet to follow the same steps. Look at what happened in Iraq when they were forced out of darkness while they were not ready. I don’t believe that the Middle Eastern people have any chance, at least in our lifetime, to get out of the darkness and decide their own fate and, until then, bad news will not stop coming from that area.

Rise up to solve challenges By Yun.Kwak iowastatedaily.com

Current generation must move forward, take stand on issues

“A

ll the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances.” Famous lines from William Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.” If you think about it, this world is constantly changing. The baby boomer generation is starting to retire, and those of the previous generation are now getting older. As a generation grows older, the younger ones take on the roles the older generation had. We will have our own beggars, our own criminals, our own politicians, our own hippies and so on. It’s kind of interesting to see that we were all once eager children wanting to grow up fast and be a member of this global community; and now all of that is happening so fast. So what will our generation bring? Will we have our own world war? Our own major crises that will be known for hundreds of years to come in human history? Will we have our own triumphs? Our own joys and tragedies? Certainly, but their nature is to be determined by us. I used to work at a local library, and from time to time I would come across some very interesting books. One of them offered a collection of news headlines in the past 25 years. It got me thinking that, besides

the Soviet Union collapsing and countries reassessing their economic ideology, nothing has really changed. Sure, computers are a bit faster and we have fancy cell phones now, but our day-to-day activities and our way of life hasn’t undergone massive overhaul. But we like to think that some things have changed for the better — maybe to make ourselves feel good, or maybe to worry about one less thing. But we’re not there yet. Here are some statistics on some problems of the world today: Approximately 2.5 billion people are living on less than $2 a day, according to the World Bank. The U.N. deﬁnes absolute poverty as people living on less than $1.25 a day. At least 14 percent, 32 million, of American adults are illiterate, according to the U.S. Department of Education. However, literacy in the United States is apparently measured by asking people if they can read and write. Assume that you couldn’t read — if someone knocked on your door and asked if you can read or write you’d say yes to save

yourself the embarrassment wouldn’t you? We also have the hypothesized impending energy crisis and climate change. So let me ask you, the reader; sitting there enjoying your

morning coffee, breakfast or whatever you’re doing while reading this: What will you do to contribute to this world? Yes you’re only a small force, but combined with the efforts of others you amount to something much more. But how does change begin? Does it involve thinking about

the problem and ﬁnding ways of dealing with it? Yes it does, but for most people it stops there. I am inclined to believe that it takes much more than that. It involves the ability to communicate with one another and understand each other. It needs people to be impartial, and avoid placing blame because these problems are something that we inherit. And there’s still a lot of questions to be answered, such as if the problem is really a problem. If it is the current solution the best of all possible solutions? Whatever your role may be in this lifetime, you’re very much a part of this world. You will affect decisions that politicians make and vice versa. History waits eagerly to write down the next chapter of human history. So, I ask you to be mindful and aware; and maybe a little active in trying to actually shape a better future rather than to pretend that things have changed.

Student event

International Week bridges culture divide By Karen.Jennings iowastatedaily.com The international student population at Iowa State rose by 464 students this semester. International Week, which begins Friday, serves as a way for students to experience other cultures and enhance communication among students, faculty and the Ames community. Put on by the International Student Council, International Week welcomes students to get involved and get new perspectives on international students and cultures. Nineteen founding members of the International Student Council attend each event They let students learn about the events or International Week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great chance to meet foreign people. You learn how to open eyes,â&#x20AC;? said Yong Chin Pak, martial arts instructor and senior lecturer in kinesiology. International Week lasts through

>>TRIBUTE.p1 Much of the design of the patio was based on TJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s characteristics and personality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The table is very strong like TJ,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Barone, senior in civil engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TJ was strong in terms of friendships he had with people and conďŹ dence in himself.â&#x20AC;? The welding used in constructing the memorial patio was made possible by the knowledge that TJ taught his friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TJ spent a lot of time teaching us all how to weld and do everything that we needed to know,â&#x20AC;? said Andrew Faust, junior in civil engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After he left us unexpectedly, it was nice to apply what he taught us to remember him by.â&#x20AC;? TJ proved to be much more than a student. In many ways he was a teacher and a role model for many students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people who knew him that helped build this table instill those values from TJ,â&#x20AC;? Faust said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully we can pass those on through other people and have a little bit of TJ in everybody.â&#x20AC;? Tyler Anderson, senior in civil engineering, took part in the memorial patio project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were thousands of hours that went into this with designing, construction, installing it and working with university officials,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were all busy with classes and work, but still to be

Nov. 19, and features cultural activities. Annually, about 200 students attend International Week, but the weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s organizers look forward to an increase each time. In the past, students have not paid much attention to International Week, said Maurice Aduto, member of the International Student Council and junior in animal ecology. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most students and faculty members are unaware of what is going on,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By ignoring it, they do not know the importance of it.â&#x20AC;? Students who attend the events throughout the week often come away with new insight into various cultures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The program gets students to get to know each other interaction-wise, socialize and create friendships,â&#x20AC;? Aduto said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is an educative learning base.â&#x20AC;? Students involved can help international students feel like they belong.

able to put that much time into a project to build in his honor, I think that speaks to what impact heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had on our lives and will continue to have on our lives forever.â&#x20AC;? TJ was an inspiration for many students in the department of civil engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got many students interested in the civil engineering department,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. He really dedicated his life in his four years [here] to Iowa State and the civil engineering department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something for all of us that knew him well and had also spent a ton of time with him in the Town Engineering Building, for us to come back and reďŹ&#x201A;ect on that years in the future.â&#x20AC;? Many students who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t personally know TJ played a part in the construction of the memorial project. About 30 students volunteered to help install the table. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It still amazes me how many people did come and help out,â&#x20AC;? Barone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A good number of freshmen and sophomores showed up. That just proves to you how much an impact TJ had on this department,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People came back from jobs that they graduated to in order to be here for this,â&#x20AC;? Hartwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It represents the people he touched that came back to work on it and put a lot of time in to it, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a culmination of those efforts.â&#x20AC;? To many who knew TJ, he was very social and wanted to

â&#x20AC;&#x153;International students, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to get to know your American students,â&#x20AC;? Pak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Socialize. Not just in your community, but with everyone.â&#x20AC;? Being a part of International Week gives students the opportunity to change their outlook on people of other nationalities. To expand International Week, students are trying to get the word around school. Everyone from the president of the student body to the students involved in the program have done their best to spread awareness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having students from different parts of the world involved is interesting,â&#x20AC;? said Ashvin Sudhaharan, events coordinator for International Student Council. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming together to create something makes it better than doing it alone. People will grow together, close this gap we have. Everyone will come together and it will no longer be about one culture.â&#x20AC;?

get involved as much he could at Iowa State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His outlook on college wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just school,â&#x20AC;? Hartwell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was getting involved as well as getting other people involved and helping other people out. In that way he impacted a lot of students in this department, and everyone he met remembers him some way or another.â&#x20AC;? He liked to make people feel good about themselves. He was always positive and upbeat, Good said. The memorial patio is a place for students to socialize and communicate with each other. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It provides a place where students can come, meet, have fun and make their own memories,â&#x20AC;? Hartwell said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;or reminisce the memories they had with TJ.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The octagonal shape really fosters that kind of environment and space we created with the memorial tree and the new landscaping. This is a space he would always come out to. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we tried to do,â&#x20AC;? Anderson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want people to use it and people to remember that he was a student here, he made a contribution,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to learn a little about him and what he did for the college.â&#x20AC;? Friends and family of TJ know that he will be eternally missed, but the memorial patio they created for their friend and mentor will never allow him to be forgotten at Iowa State.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really humbled by it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dr. Nolan is a very respected scientist and administrator, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do an excellent job,â&#x20AC;? Thomson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very well informed about all aspects of the college and she should get off to a fast start and should do a great job.â&#x20AC;? Nolan plans on continually improving programs and education at the college as dean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a part of the college we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to continue to improve on. I see a real potential to build our research capacity. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good, but we could be great,â&#x20AC;? Nolan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got remarkable people here and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re highly productive. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already the number one in citations per research articles in veterinary journals. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an awesome statistic, but we could be even better.â&#x20AC;? Nolan is currently the associate dean for research and graduate studies at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Nolan received her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree and Doctorate of Medical Microbiology from the University of Georgia. She was also named the distinguished educator of the year from North Dakota State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blue Key Fraternity in 2001. Nolan was selected over three other candidates for the position.

>>CARPOOL.p1 lowing only people with university net IDs to log on and post ride offers and requests. Many students feel better about using the service knowing that personal information wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be shared with those outside the ISU community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing,â&#x20AC;? said Allison Penttila, sophomore in pre-business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like having to log in and knowing that only ISU students can see my contact information.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes it safer,â&#x20AC;? said Amanda McWherter, junior in management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really glad they set it up ďŹ nally,â&#x20AC;? said Madison Romano, senior in apparel, merchandising and design. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before it was either Craigslist or nothing.â&#x20AC;? The RideShare website has two links: one for carpool, which is for those who commute; and one for RideShare, which is for one-time trips.

>>CONTEST.p1 students. The team gave an affirmative and negative statement, cross examination and rebuttal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This contest deďŹ nitely helped me learn to think on my feet and broadened my horizons,â&#x20AC;? said Brittany Jurgemeyer, sophomore in public service and administration in agriculture. Kaye Strohbehn, undeclared graduate, received the award for top secretary in the parliamentary contest. Alpha Tau Alpha only recognizes two top individuals in the national competition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a huge honor, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited to represent Iowa State as the top secretary. Our parliamentary

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s user-friendly,â&#x20AC;? Penttila said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be a rocket scientist to use it.â&#x20AC;? Students can tighten their budgets by traveling or commuting with others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whoever I share rides with, we can trade off driving. That way we save money on gas,â&#x20AC;? McWherter said, who commutes from Des Moines. Along with saving money, RideShare users may experience additional beneďŹ ts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be a little bit nicer ride. You get to have company while driving and split gas money,â&#x20AC;? Romano said. RideShare opened Nov. 1. So far, there are 11 carpools and two listings offering RideShare. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since it just started, not many people use it,â&#x20AC;? said Sakthi Vijayakumar, graduate research assistant in food science and human nutrition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once it becomes popular, more people will use it for more places.â&#x20AC;?

procedure team worked hard preparing for this contest,â&#x20AC;? Strohbehn said. The parliamentary procedure contest had three scored parts including a written test, timed demonstrations of news business at a meeting and minutes recorded by the secretary. The team demonstrated their knowledge of Parliamentary Law by conducting the business meeting. Strohbehn and team members Nathan Fritz, senior in animal science; Sabrina Leahy, freshman in agriculture and life sciences education; Jacob Hunter and Danielle Hamilton, both juniors in agriculture and life sciences education, competed against 15 other universities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really intimidating

going against teams that have traditionally won the contest because you can get called out when you do something incorrect,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. Hunter participated in parliamentary procedure contests when he was in high school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Competing in a contest nationally for Alpha Tau Alpha as a ďŹ&#x201A;oor member really helped me understand how to use parliamentary procedure in a real meeting,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. This is Alpha Tau Alphaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst time participating in the National Alpha Tau Alpha Conclave in many years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really want to catapult off our success this year to become more involved at the national level for future years to come,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said.

Cyclones chase bowl berth Team travels west to take on struggling Buffaloes By Jake. Lovett iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s opponent Saturday has been through a lot in the past week. Colorado gave up 35 points in the fourth quarter of its 52-45 loss to Kansas last Saturday, capping what is now a five-game losing streak. Then, on Tuesday, coach Dan Hawkins was let go by the Buffaloes after five seasons and a 19-39 record in Boulder. Still, the Cyclones (5-5, 3-3 Big 12) must travel west to face the Buffaloes (3-6, 0-5), now playing under interim coach Brian Cabral, for a chance at getting their sixth win, making them bowl eligible for the second straight season. “We can’t look at all of that,” said ISU sophomore linebacker A.J. Klein. “They’re really a dangerous team and I don’t think people give them enough credit.” Klein heads an ISU defense that has held opponents to 67 points during the last three weeks after allowing 120 points the previous two weeks. Colorado’s offense — a unit Klein described as versatile and dangerous — has scored just 21 points per game this season despite the 52-point outburst last week. “It’s going to be another tough game for us,” Klein said. “We can’t go into this game taking it for granted just because of record, because we’re going to have to work for it.” Still, a 3-6 opponent dealing with a coaching change can be a tantalizing thought for a young team, especially one so close to achieving bowl eligibility. To fight that, coach Paul Rhoads turned the tables on his team as a wake up call. “I talked to them about putting themselves in their shoes and asked how they would react, how our seniors would play in this situation, how our underclassmen would play for our seniors,” Rhoads said. “They’d play their hearts out just like Colorado is going to do.” The Cyclones last went through a coaching change in 2008 after Gene Chizik departed for the head job at Auburn. That change happened after Iowa State’s 2-10 season had concluded in December. Rhoads’ boss during his first stint at Iowa State, Dan McCarney, finished his final season at Iowa State, but not without heavy speculation he would depart. Several ISU upperclassmen, including quarterback Austen Arnaud and running back Alexander Robinson,

were a part of the team during McCarney’s final season in Ames, and the team is prepared to face a motivated, hard-working Colorado squad. “[Rhoads] woke us up with that, gave us a wake-up call Tuesday and put us in their shoes,” said offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele. “It shouldn’t be a problem. We’re a hard-working group just like them, so we’ll just have to come in and work like we always do.” Ten weeks in, the Cyclones have faced one of the nation’s toughest schedules — six of their opponents are currently in the top 25 of the Bowl Championship Series rankings — and have done so without a bye week. A win Saturday would give Iowa State bowl eligibility for the second time under Rhoads, after going three years prior to his arrival without a postseason appearance. Even with all the talk around the game, the thought of playing December football isn’t on the players’ minds. “All we know is this is week 11 and we have to go out and get win number six,” Klein said. “We don’t think of win number six as a bowl game or anything like that; we think of it as another win and another step for the program.” The game Saturday kicks off at 12:30 p.m. CST from Boulder, Colo., and will be aired on Fox College Sports.

Iowa State is among nine other Big 12 schools that will open their seasons Friday night.

Hoiberg, team prepare for regular season opener ‘The Mayor’ will be tested twice this weekend at home By Chris. Cuellar iowastatedaily.com Iowa State’s regular season opens Friday and gives Hilton Coliseum a second helping of men’s basketball Sunday, as the Cyclones take on Northern Arizona on Friday and Alabama State on Sunday afternoon. After one dominating exhibition effort over the University of Dubuque that finished 100-50 in Iowa State’s favor, Nov. 5 the Lumberjacks of NAU come to Ames to tip off the games that will actually go in the win and loss columns. “We felt that the Dubuque game was a regular season game for us, even though it was only exhibition, so it’ll be good to see Hilton back in all its glory,” said senior forward Jamie Vanderbeken. “It’s good to be back.”

Fred Hoiberg coached his first game on the Cyclone bench against Dubuque and came out to an emotional ovation. “It was good to get that first one out of the way,” Hoiberg said. “I was very nervous walking through the tunnel the other night. This time I’ll have a suit on, and this one will be different. It’s for real now.” Seven out of the 10 Cyclones on the active roster for this season are newcomers to the program. Among them are four true freshmen, and all got to experience time on the court against Dubuque, under the bright lights and with fans in the seats. Freshman forward Calvin Godfrey collected a double-double in his very first contest as a Cyclone, including seven offensive rebounds, and expects things to settle down in the regular season. “I take every game as a new game, and you can’t really expect the same thing from everybody,” Godfrey said. “There’s always going to

be excitement, so I’m not as much nervous as excited.” The competition to open the season doesn’t seem too strenuous by tradition, as Northern Arizona and Alabama State have combined for five NCAA Tournament appearances alltime, but Iowa State has never played NAU, and Alabama State was in the NCAA tournament in 2009. Northern Arizona has lost nine straight season openers, but beat Western New Mexico 9686 in its exhibition game last week. The Lumberjacks took a five-game tour of Canada in August to boost their team chemistry and to get practice for this season. Hoiberg expects the team, picked by the coaches to finish second in the Big Sky Conference, to be ready to compete. “It’s a very good team and they’re an older team,” Hoiberg said. “Their trip to Canada got them 10 extra practices, which puts them a little ahead right now. They run a lot of sets and a lot

of plays, and they really execute. We’ve got our hands full.” The step up in competition is welcome for some Cyclones, as the team is just ready to play competitive basketball and get the five-monthlong season going. “Northern Arizona has got some actual bigs, so we’re excited to play better,” Vanderbeken said. “I prefer playing against actual bigs than chasing the little post players around.” Iowa State is 83-20 all-time in season openers and hasn’t lost one since 1997. The Cyclones will likely have nine available players this weekend, as forward Royce White was denied eligibility by the NCAA on Monday and guard DeMarcus Phillips is recovering from a broken hand. Phillips will be dressed and could be available to make his ISU debut if necessary. “He will be in uniform,” Hoiberg said. “I’d

ISU to work on consistent play

Runners head to regional in Illinois

Team to practice not letting energy drop late in game By Dan. Tracy iowastatedaily.com Following their 3-1 upset loss to unranked Missouri on Saturday, ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch stressed to her team the importance of ďŹ nishing matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did not play well at the end of games. We had trouble getting good swings, and I thought we were tentative when it counted.â&#x20AC;? JohnsonLynch said. With no mid-week match this week, Iowa State has had plenty of time to recover and focus on late-match intensity after its second loss to an unranked opponent this season. Johnson-Lynch has been trying to reinforce decision-making in practice this week and is focusing on recreating some of the late-match atmosphere by scrimmaging with scores at 18-18 or 20-20. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want them to make the best decision they can and an aggressive decision at the end [of matches],â&#x20AC;? Johnson-Lynch said. Now that ďŹ nishing matches was focused on all week, the Cyclones will need to shift gears and focus on starting early both in the match and during the day when they travel to Norman, Okla., for a matchup with the Oklahoma Sooners. The 11 a.m. start time of the match against Oklahoma (18-8, 10-5 in Big 12) will be the earliest start of the season so

far for the Cyclones (17-6, 10-5 in Big 12). Junior outside hitter Carly Jenson hopes to get her offensive numbers back on track in Norman. Jenson notched 10 or more kills in 15 of her ďŹ rst 20 matches but hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hit for double-digit kills in her last three matches. Jenson leads the team in service aces with 19 and is second on the team with 244 kills and 246 digs, behind seniors Victoria Henson and Ashley Mass. Henson has an opportunity to become the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-time leader in kills as she currently sits 16 kills behind Kirstin Hugdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record of 1,620 kills. Even with Henson averaging the most kills per set that she has in her career, 4.33 per set, her teammates recognize that they too need to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;terminatorâ&#x20AC;? if they want to win matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t keep putting all that pressure on Victoria to be that go-to person. I think we need to work on everyone being a terminator,â&#x20AC;? Jenson said. Along with Henson, sophomore middle blocker Jamie Straube has also put up huge numbers for the Cyclones as of late. Complementing her at the net is junior middle blocker Deb Stadick, who hit a career high in kills with 10 against Missouri. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If she gets in and just gets off to a good start, it takes a lot of pressure off, and then if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up a couple points and I go in, I can breath a little easier,â&#x20AC;? Stadick said. With Nebraska and Texas as the clear No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Big 12, Iowa

Cyclones trying to improve after championships

Where: Norman, Okla. When: 11 a.m. Saturday Notes: Iowa State is coming off of a 3-1 loss at the hands of unranked Missouri on Saturday.

By Kevin. Shay iowastatedaily.com

The loss was the second time the Cyclones had lost to an unranked team this season. This is the ďŹ rst time this season that the Cyclones will face a conference opponent after not having a mid-week game. ISU outside hitter Victoria Henson has a chance to become Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s alltime leader in kills. She is 16 behind Kirstin Hugdahl, who holds the mark at 1,620 career kills as a Cyclone.

State and Oklahoma sit nearly deadlocked with Missouri in places three through ďŹ ve. The Cyclones and Sooners are both 10-5 conference play with Missouri not far behind at 10-6. Coming off of their loss to unranked Missouri, the Cyclones will square off against a Sooners squad that is 0-6 against teams in the top 25 this season, which includes a 3-0 loss to No. 14 Iowa State on Sept. 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play really well the ďŹ rst time they

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball

Strong start sought for regular season Bolte, MansďŹ eld lead Cyclones in opener By David. Merrill iowastatedaily.com Coach Bill Fennelly had to give his team a wake up call at half time of the Cyclonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 61-40 victory over Wartburg, which they trailed 29-25 at halftime.

Fennelly and his staff know an opening half like the one they had against Wartburg canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen anymore if the Cyclones want to be successful. They will open the regular season Saturday against Western Illinois. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to work on coming prepared,â&#x20AC;? said senior Kelsey Bolte. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out ready to play against Wartburg and I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the things we really need to work on.â&#x20AC;?

Communication is going to be important as the Cyclones struggled with that in their ďŹ nal exhibition matchup. The noise level in Hilton Coliseum is likely going to be higher for the season opener. On the court, junior point guard Lauren MansďŹ eld and Bolte have a system for communicating with the rest of the players. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the key thing for us is repeating the play call,â&#x20AC;? MansďŹ eld said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I call out a play and then [Bolte] repeats it to the rest of the team what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling out. That deďŹ nitely helps, but I think we need to work on just being louder and communicating with each other in that way.â&#x20AC;? Despite this being MansďŹ eldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst-ever regular season start for Iowa State, she does have an advantage that she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had before.

The ISU menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cross country teams area headed to Peoria, Ill., this weekend to compete in the Midwest NCAA Regional Meet hosted by Bradley University. Both the men and women are hoping to improve on their somewhat disappointing results in the recent Big 12 Championships. The women ďŹ nished third behind Texas Tech and Colorado, while the men had a sour taste in their mouth after ďŹ nishing ďŹ fth behind champion Oklahoma State and fourth-place Texas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We probably ran about what we were ranked going in, I just felt our men had a chance to leap-frog Texas, and our women had a chance to kind of be in the mix with the top two,â&#x20AC;? said coach Corey Ihmels. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So it was a little disappointing, but I feel like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still making progress. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a pretty productive couple weeks training, and hopefully thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to the point where we continue to make progress this weekend.â&#x20AC;? The coaches are conďŹ dent that the women, who enter the region as the top-ranked team (No. 13), will ďŹ nish in the top two, necessary to automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships later this month in Terre Haute, Ind. However, they are not so sure about the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, which is ranked No. 6 in the region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in a tough situation with the men, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an interesting meet Saturday for us to get through to nationals,â&#x20AC;? Ihmels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re third we have a chance to get in and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to run the race weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been looking to run all year long.â&#x20AC;? After the top two teams from each of the nine regions automatically qualify for the national meet, the NCAA Division I track and ďŹ eld subcommittee selects 13 additional teams for at-large berths into the ďŹ eld of 31. The top four runners from each of the nine regions that are not a member of an advancing team will also qualify for the national meet. The subcommittee will select two atlarge runners for a total of 255 qualiďŹ ed runners. A third-place ďŹ nish for the men will, in all likelihood, lead to an at-large selection, but doing so will not be an easy task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a tough region with Oklahoma and Oklahoma State,â&#x20AC;? Ihmels said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And after that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s us, Minnesota [No. 24], Tulsa [No. 27], and Illinois. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gonna be a dog-ďŹ ght for that third spot. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be whoever wants to win in that last 2K.â&#x20AC;? Both Illinois and Iowa State are unranked nationally. The ISU men will need a strong performance from Hillary Bor, who, so far, has had an underachieving senior season. Bor has no top-10 ďŹ nishes yet this season, after three last year â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including a ďŹ fth-place ďŹ nish in regionals. The men will also look for sophomore Rico Loy, freshman Martin Coolidge, and seniors Clayton Carper and Daniel Murray to run a strong race if they intend to advance. The women will be led by Kenya natives Betsy Saina and Aliphine Tuliamuk, who
