Club funding for helmets still unsure The Government of the Student Body discussed funding helmets for the Iowa State Recreational Hockey Club on Wednesday. The group asked for $500 to fund 20 helmets. “If we invest in the helmets we need to invest in them properly,” said GSB Senator Sean Morrissey. Speaker of the Senate Nate Dobbels was concerned about the funding. Dobbels said the club is a first year club, and GSB does not fund first year clubs because they might fall through. The decision of whether or not to fund the club was not made at the time of deadline. Daily Staff

Passing down tradition Cyclone family hopes to keep spirit going By Leah.DeGraaf @iowastatedaily.com Through three generations, the Muhlbauer family has left no question as to where their unwavering support lies. Passion for Cyclone football unites three generations of Muhlbauer men from Manilla, Iowa: Louis, Gary and Kyle. Senior Kyle Muhlbauer, is the third leg of this trio. Four years ago, Kyle and his three high school friends, Zack Wiig, Dustin Christensen and Jesse Sebern, kept the family’s Cyclone football pride alive with the purchase of an old school bus. All four men are or soon will be Iowa State graduates. The bus, which has transported enthusiastic Cyclone fans to football games for the past four years, has united an entire western Iowa community with a common passion, and created lasting bonds between ISU students. Now painted blue with cardinal and gold accents, Kyle calls the “recreational vehicle” a true symbol of Cyclone pride. The family’s Cyclone football legacy begins with Louis J. “Louie” Muhlbauer, the grandfather of Kyle Muhlbauer. Louis played football for Iowa

State before even Cy took his place at the university, and in 1950 Louis Muhlbauer earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Agriculture. Gary Muhlbauer was next in line. His ISU football experience began when he walked on to the Cyclone football team as a junior. In 1977, Gary graduated also with a Bachelor of Science degree from the College of Agriculture. Kyle Muhlbauer said his favorite

Last game marks the end of tailgating By Shagun.Pradhan @iowastatedaily.com With Iowa State’s last home football game on Nov. 18, the tailgating lots will soon be emptied until the next football season. The fans have left their mark for the season, and the tailgating lots will become the forsaken. Jason Adair, junior in supply chain management, expressed his thoughts on tailgating. “The things I enjoy most about football season is being able to tailgate and go to the game with my buddies in our
pristine cardinal and gold overalls,” he said. “The overalls are a must at every football game along with the four Bs. The four Bs are: brats, bags, burgers and last but definitely not least, beer.” Creative and delicious foods are well renowned at football games. “I usually like to make appetizers and then a nice warm pot of my special chili,” said local chef Bill Kirkman. “When it gets cold out, there is nothing better than hanging out with friends and eating great food.” Ames native Doug Warren would also have to agree. “I make my own cheese dip,”

Abercrombie & Fitch once offered to pay Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino a “substantial” amount to not wear the brand on “Jersey Shore,” but we are not sure they were thinking of $4 million. That’s how much the Sorrentino is asking the company to pay in damages and royalties in a complaint he has filed against the company in Florida that accuses Abercrombie of trademark infringement, unfair competition and false description, according to court documents. The allegations stem from Abercrombie’s announcement in August that they were “deeply concerned that Mr. Sorrentino’s association with our brand could cause significant damage to our image. We understand that the show is for entertainment purposes, but believe this association is contrary to the aspirational nature of our brand.”

But there is another Twilightrelated nickname she does enjoy. “I guess the Robstens are really funny to me,” she said of the celeb couple name for “Twilight” leads Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. “You know, because they care so much about that relationship. It’s just, I find it amusing.” Robstens and Twi-hards will be in full effect this weekend as “Breaking Dawn — Part I” opens Friday. Superfans are so excited for the cinematic union of Edward and Bella that they have been spotted lining up for the movie in wedding gowns.

>>BUS.p1 part about the tailgate bus is how it has formed countless lasting relationships over the years. “It gets people together,” Kyle said, “It’s awesome because a lot of the people that we played sports against in high school ... all came to Iowa State, and then those people ended up being friends. That is one of the coolest things.” The bus has not only created friends out of past high school rivals, but it has left a lasting impact on an entire generation of ISU fans. “There are lots of connections. Everybody knows somebody who knows somebody, and then they end up here,” said Kyle’s mom, Tammy Muhlbauer, who has been tailgating at Iowa State football games since 1976. One thing is clear after leaving a tailgate hosted by this group of western Iowa folk, the commonality of passion for Cyclone football cannot be denied. It is not only the love of Cyclone football that has been passed down from Kyle’s grandfather but also a family possession, a worn old leather football helmet. His older brother, Cory, also an Iowa State graduate, originally found the helmet in his grandparent’s basement and began the tradition of wearing the helmet to every Iowa State football game. Kyle continues the tradition and receives plenty of attention even from some of the most elite ISU fans. “One game, I convinced Geoffroy to put on the helmet and take a picture with us,” Kyle said. “He was so cool about it. That was awesome.” Other game day rituals include, picking tailgaters up in the school bus before the student lots open, having their own field goal competitions with cans and a PVC pipe field goal post, body-painting up before the start of each game and making sure to get that front row in the student section. Every game day as Kyle drives the bus around Ames picking up friends, he said, it feels like he is once again in grade school. Opening the bus doors to the smiling, excited faces, and instead of seeing loaded book bags on the backs of students, Kyle enjoys seeing in their hands cases of beer, treats and food to be grilled. Even the Ames police officers come to enjoy a few lighthearted moments with this tailgate crew. Kicking empty beer cans through their PVC field goal post, playing a quick round of tippy cup with water or teasing Kyle for not wearing his helmet saying, “If your helmet’s not on, I am bringing you to jail.” Kyle may be graduating next semester, but the traditions will not stop at the end of this year. Kyle plans on selling his Iowa State bus to Bryce Irlbeck, sophomore in agronomy, and hopes it is not only the bus that gets passed down,
>> GRANT.p1 Twenty-six foreign professionals will take an online course followed by a faceto-face workshop here in Ames this coming summer. These professionals, coming from 13 countries including Afghanistan, Egypt, China, Togo and Brazil, will review the materials. “For us it means visibility and being able to work with the Department of State,” said Volker Hegelheimer, the principal investigator for the grant. “The grant shows how integral our department is to achieving the goals laid out in the university’s strategic plan for the next five years,” said Barbara Ching, chairwoman for the department of English. Iowa State’s strategic plan says that, “It is imperative that the creation, sharing and application of knowledge be a global effort characterized by a

but the game day spirit and dedication as well. “Obviously the goal is to keep the tradition going,” Kyle said. “We have a great Iowa State fan who is from Manning, Iowa, nine miles down the road, who we’d love to pass the bus on to ... to keep it going after we’re gone.” Irlbeck, who has been attending Iowa State football games since age 5, hopes to carry on what Kyle and his friends have started and continue to welcome anyone who wants to join the celebrations. “I feel like the traditions will carry themselves as long as the bus and the people are around,” Irlbeck said.
profound respect for the diversity of people and ideas. These are the values that enrich our work.” According to the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs website, the U.S. Department of State “offers a range of resources and materials that support high-quality English language instruction worldwide. These resources are aimed at supporting teachers of English outside of the U.S.” The materials that will be the end product of this grant will go toward what is known as public diplomacy, or the encouragement of educating and influencing foreign publics. However, all materials must meet the terms set in the U.S. Information and Educational Exchange Act, or as it is more commonly known, the SmithMundt Act, signed into law by President Truman in 1948. Hegelheimer, along with
Kyle’s father, Gary, knows that for him and his children, “The game is always the highlight of the day,” but is glad that along the way his children have had fun tailgating. Gary attended his first ISU football game as an eighth grader, and said he is very proud of his children for attending Iowa State and completing what they started. Friday’s kickoff is at 7 p.m., and the blue painted Iowa State bus will take its spot along with its body-painted owners once again among the line up of proud Cyclone fans. In Kyle’s words, “Hopefully it is an abnormally warm game.”
two other applied linguistic faculty members Carol Chapelle and John Levis, previously applied for an $800,000 grant in 2008, but were turned down by the Department of State. “We got very encouraging feedback from them,” Hegelheimer said. Hegelheimer heard of the current grant at the beginning of this year and submitted an application by early March. “Completing a grant application before helped us know

about the time it would take.” Upon hearing that the program received the grant, Hegelheimer said, “It was pretty amazing. We were delighted.” Ching agreed, saying, “I was so proud because I knew how much work that the group had put into it and also because it shows that the expertise we have in creating technology for language learning will be used and recognized internationally.”
With the federal grant the Applied Linguistics Program will also be able to hire 18 graduate students to work on the project in the spring of 2012. The entire applied linguistics faculty will be working on dif-
ferent aspects of the grant as well. This is a 23-month grant, and the Applied Linguistic Program will have until July 2013 to complete work on the materials.

Editorial
Challenging decisions need action soon Marking a day of Thanksgiving has been an annual event for Americans, with varying degrees of official sanction, since the 1620s. Confronting a national debt of some $15 trillion when we are running an annual deficit of $2.3 trillion is no easy task. Yet that is what a special congressional deficit panel, popularly called the Supercommittee, is supposed to do. Their deadline to do so is a week from yesterday. If they succeed in proposing a plan, and if Congress passes that plan into law, they will have succeeded, and a week from today we can give thanks that our fiscal problems are on the road to a solution. If they do not, however, across-the-board cuts to the tune of $1.2 trillion will go into effect. This is a chance for our representatives — and therefore, us — to redefine the role of government to suit our needs. It is a chance for us to prioritize spending and policy instead of continuing on our road to financial ruin or indiscriminately cutting spending. They should take that chance. If Republicans and Democrats truly believe that now is the time to examine our support of programs such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, defense and the whole array of federal agencies that, depending on who you ask, take away our liberties or protect us, then they will propose measures, debate them, consider the effect on the interest of the whole United States, and propose amendments accordingly. The goal is not to make sure that their districts receive as much pork as possible. It is not to ensure that one class is exempted from doing all they can to assist the country of which they are a part and from which they benefit so much. Cutting an annual spending deficit of $2.3 trillion (we cannot in good conscience all it a budget deficit, because we haven’t had a budget — a clear, coherent vision of our direction in spending and policy — in years) by raising $300 billion in new taxes over 10 years or by cutting future deficits by $1.2 trillion over 10 years is not the way to fix a problem that exists today. Legislators cannot predict the future. Experts cannot predict the future of their fields. Even if by some miracle they manage to do so, they rarely act accordingly. If they did, the current recession would not have happened. No disaster would ever have happened. What we need to do is consider the current budget year and raise taxes and cut spending (yes, we mean “and”) accordingly. Instead of solving our own problems with our own actions, we are instead by this project expecting Time to solve them. It’s time to take destiny into our own hands.

Good morals in rural areas Businesses lose sight of small town values
L
ast week I had the misfortune of having to take my car in to be fixed. The back right brakes were grinding, and I assumed that I had to have my brake pads replaced. Unfortunately my dad lives two and a half hours away, so I began the hunt on where to go in Ames to get it fixed. At the first place they took my wheel off and showed me that my brake pad was completely worn down and the rotor was cracked. It looked pretty bad but when they gave me the price (which included a flush of my brake fluid) I knew I was going to have to wait and beg my parents for some funding. When I called my dad though, he questioned their assessment and blamed it on “those stupid chain stores, they’ll charge you for anything they can.” So I called the Ford dealership; they had a special going on so my dad recommended that I try there. Right away they also questioned the first store’s assessment. Their guess was the same as my dad’s so I figured it was a pretty safe bet. I got an estimate, made an appointment, and dropped off my car. Later that day I got a phone call from the dealer. They had the full assessment done and gave me the price ... which was a full $150.00 more than the estimate. Apparently, my estimate hadn’t included labor on one of the parts. Convenient that they decided to leave that out as I was deciding where to have my car fixed.
By Jessica.Bruning @iowastatedaily.com Now I understand that an estimate is nothing more than that, an estimate. But $150.00 off? That seemed a little ridiculous to me. After calling me “hun” and “sweetie” all morning, the guy on the phone wasn’t dropping any of those names as I yelled and tried to haggle down the price. After refusing to budge on their estimate, I angrily told them to fix my car and that I would pick it up when it was done with no intention of ever coming back. Miraculously enough, a couple of hours later they called me back telling me that my car was ready to be picked up and that my new total was $63.00 less than their final cost. It was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. As a girl who has had very limited experience with cars, this is not the first time I’ve been taken advantage of when going to an auto shop. However, this is the first time I’ve come out having been able to do something about it. Its disappointing to me that a business has no qualms about charging customers for services they don’t need or misleading them about the price. Maybe it’s the small town girl in me realizing the “big city.” But are small town values in this instance so bad?
At home a friend of the family does the things my dad can’t do or doesn’t have the time to do. We drop our vehicle off and let him have free reign. By knowing that he doesn’t take advantage of us, he receives our business time after time. It’s a simple concept and living in small town Iowa or Ames shouldn’t make a difference. At what point should businesses draw the line between making money and simply taking what they can because they can? My dad could have fixed my car for about $120.00. I understand the concept of mark ups and paying for convenience. But what sort of business practice is it to mislead a customer? What benefit comes from that? I have no intention of going back to that dealer despite the discount they eventually gave me. Overall, it’s sad that we have to pay attention to things like this. I hope that I made them feel guilty enough about misleading me that it won’t happen again to someone else, but who knows? If you read my column last week I made the statement, “When I’m choosing a mechanic, I’d rather he’s worked on a few other cars before I hand mine over to him.” Turns out even if they’ve been in business for over 30 years, the work may be fine while the practice is not. So for now, stand up for yourself, and enjoy the small victories.

Money
Debt forgiveness stands viable C
redit card debt was surpassed within the past year as the highest contributor to American’s debt by student loan debt. As college students, particularly at Iowa State, you don’t need to be told twice. I doubt there is any student on this campus that isn’t deeply in debt to attend school, or know someone in that situation. With a sour looking economy, with little signs of improvement, it will be difficult to find well-paying jobs out of college to pay down this debt. But what if it was forgiven? I know that many, many Americans went to college in the past, paid off their debt, and got along fine. So why can’t we? It isn’t everyone else’s job to pay for my education. That’s a fair point. However, those who paid their own way in the past, and thus think we should do the same, paid on average 650 percent less than we do. That’s accounting for inflation, too. That increase in tuition, along with an ever-increasing number of college students, has drawn student-loan debt close to $1 trillion. Some of it is privately held, some of it is from the federal government (in the form of Stafford loans and others). Any forgiveness would have to come from the government, paying the creditors so they did not fail, and taking a hit for the rest of it. That is a whole lot of money, to be sure. It isn’t as though the government hasn’t paid out copious amounts of money to try and resuscitate the economy, though. For instance, $700 billion was paid out in funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program to help the “too big to fail” banks. The
By Craig.Long @iowastatedaily.com auto industry required their own bailout, and that’s not counting the stimulus checks we got a few years ago. But how would debt forgiveness stimulate the economy? We tried stimulus checks, and that didn’t help. But that was a onetime check. Many people used it (wisely) to save or pay toward bills they owed, instead of paying it toward consumer goods. Thus, it was largely ineffective. However, there is a big difference between giving out a one-time check and relieving thousands of dollars of debt. The effect is, that instead of giving out a one-time $600 or $1200 check, it’s several hundred dollars every month. Not everyone benefits, but the benefit is focused on those most likely to use it to stimulate the economy. That may seem to be an unsubstantiated claim, but think about it. When you leave college and (hopefully) find a job, what would you do next if you were debt free? Your income suddenly went from a few thousand dollars a year (if you are able to hold down a job in school, that is) to tens of thousands of dollars annually. For me, I would start by buying a new car. Maybe you’d buy a house, or start a family. The money would go into two industries that required bailouts (auto and home/finance), or to support

a family, you’ll purchase vast quantities of commercial goods that you normally would not need. When you graduate, if you owe too much debt, you may delay any/all of these purchases. The money doesn’t hit the economy, and no one benefits. On the other hand, if you already have a nice house, car, and the kids are out of the house (as is true for many older people without student debt), they aren’t going to invest in another new house, or car. They’re much more likely to put it away in a savings account to use for retirement, thus, the entrance of that money into the economy is delayed. Of course, this would be met with a tax increase to offset costs. But, the net personal gain for those who receive forgiveness would outweigh the tax increase. And, at a time when 78 of the 280 largest companies in America paid no taxes from 2008-2010, despite the 280 cumulatively profiting $1.4 trillion dollars (according to Sunday’s Des Moines Register
Editorial), there is tax money to be had. Tax rates on the top earners in the country and on unearned income have been spiraling down for decades, a tax increase wouldn’t kill them either. I know we, as Americans, have a definite concept of self-reliance, and this only helps a slice of the population (those with student loan debt). It may seem to be an unusual way to bolster the economy, but it seems as though anything else we’ve tried has had limited effect. Make no mistake; this is different from paying off peoples mortgages, or funding other “non-essential” goods: Education prepares a person to operate in a high capacity in the economy, strengthening it over time. It is time to begin discussing other alternatives, such as this, and implementing them. We’ll all be better off for it.

Penn State: Police record no report alleging assault STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State campus police and their counterparts in State College said Wednesday that they had no record of Mike McQueary reporting an alleged sexual assault by Jerry Sandusky on a 10-year-old boy in a campus shower. The details ran counter to McQueary’s claims in an email to former teammates and made available to The Associated Press this week. McQueary, then a graduate assistant, wrote in the email that he had discussions with police about what he saw. In the email, McQueary did not specify which police department he spoke to. State College borough police chief Tom King said McQueary didn’t make a report to his department. Campus police referred questions on the Sandusky case to the university’s public information office. “At this point we have no record of any police report being filed in 2002” by McQueary in connection with the Sandusky case, university spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said, adding police searched their records Wednesday. The football building is on university property, so campus police would have been the most likely to respond for a police call. The Associated Press
Football:
Fiesta Bowl officers under investigation PHOENIX — The former chief operating officer of the Fiesta Bowl has been indicted on charges of filing false income tax returns for the bowl game. The first charges against a former official of one of the top national college football bowls and BCS member since a scathing report led to the firing of its president in March. Natalie Wisneski, 47, also faces federal campaign finance and conspiracy charges over allegations she solicited campaign contributions from bowl employees for federal, state and local political candidates and arranged for the bowl to repay them. The U.S. attorney’s office in Phoenix announced the indictment Wednesday. Wisneski resigned from her job in March, shortly after bowl president and chief executive officer John Junker was fired after the apparent campaign-donation scheme was made public. The investigation into the Fiesta Bowl’s conduct under Junker is ongoing and the organization under its new leadership is cooperating. The Arizona attorney general is also involved in the probe, and an investigation into numerous state politicians who took free tickets from the bowl is also under way. It could not immediately be determined if Wisneski has an attorney, and she did not immediately respond to a message left at her listed phone number. She will receive a summons to appear in court Nov. 30. The Associated Press

File photo: Rebekka Brown/Iowa State Daily Redshirt junior Matt Gibson wrestles unattached with James Malechek from Wisconsin-Parkside during the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open held Sunday at Hilton Coliseum. Gibson defeated Malechek 10-1 in 11 minutes.
Gibson returns to the mat By Alex Halsted @iowastatedaily.com It has been a long and interesting journey to the mat for ISU redshirt junior Matt Gibson. As a sophomore in high school in Vallejo, Calif., Gibson made the decision to attend a wrestling camp at Iowa State. Just his second year in the sport at the time, it was that experience which pushed Gibson to enjoy wrestling the way he does now. “That’s what really made me fall in love with wrestling,” Gibson said. “Coming out here to Iowa State and being part of this team keeps me in love with the sport.” Before Gibson made the jump to Iowa State, he attended Sierra College, a junior college in his home state. As a freshman, Gibson wrestled in the Cyclone Open where he beat ISU heavyweight Eric Thompson en route to placing sixth at heavyweight. This caught the attention of the
coaching staff. The Cyclones pursued Gibson and added him to their team last season. In his first year at Iowa State, Gibson went 8-5 with wins over multiple ranked opponents. Gibson also worked hard in the wrestling room. One of his teammates, true freshman Tyler Swope, said it has been nice to have him on the team. “He’s a great practice partner, a great kid to be around,” Swope said. “He’s helped me out a lot, and he’s just a really good competitor to have in the room with me.” On his way to being the team’s heavyweight to start the season, Gibson was charged with public intoxication at about 2 a.m. on Oct. 30, according to the Ames Police Department. The police report said Gibson was asked by bar staff at Sips to leave and was then asked by officers to leave the area but was argumentative. ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson was
Volleyball
forced to discipline him. “We’re trying to build something here, so we tried to send a message to him and the rest of our guys, ‘Either you’re going to try your best and do everything right, or we’re going to disciple you accordingly,’” Jackson said. The disciplinary action included being held out of the first two duals against Army and Boston and wrestling unattached at the Cyclone Open — which he won at heavyweight. “I made a mistake,” Gibson said. “I’m human.” On Sunday, Gibson, now ranked as the No. 19 heavyweight by IntermatWrestle.com, will return to the mat. After wrestling in an unaffiliated singlet in recent tournaments, Gibson said he is excited to wear the cardinal and gold again. “I think it’s going to be a lot more exciting to wrestle for Iowa State,” Gibson said. “I know I was representing Iowa State the past two weeks, but now it’s official.”

Cyclone newcomers make strong impact Coaches ‘pleased’ about new potential By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com

ISU wins again
By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com It was just another day at the office against the Wildcats for senior outside hitter Carly Jenson. That is, if just
When Gibson gets on the mat, he will do so with high expectations. Jackson believes Gibson — who has won two tournaments wrestling unattached without normal training — has high potential this season. “He’s capable of beating anybody in the country,” Jackson said. “As long as we continue to get him in a little bit better shape and get his offense off a little bit more, I think he can beat anybody.” As Gibson moves forward with high hopes of his own, Jackson feels he can be as good as he wants. If he reaches that potential, Jackson said Gibson could play a big role on the team. “It’s just a matter of if he believes in his heart and in his soul that he’s better and he deserves to win,” Jackson said. “If he continues to push as hard as he can in practice and does everything right on and off the mat, he’s going to give us a chance to perform very well at [heavyweight].”
another day at the office is hitting .519 with 16 kills and 14 digs. “All great teams have a go-to [player],” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “I really feel like every great
team has to have someone they know they can count on. Carly is the definition of a go-to for us.” The No. 13 Cyclones
CYCLONESp12 >>
The ISU swimming and diving team, currently owning a 3-1 record, is off to a successful start this season. The Cyclones have received a number of key contributions from this season’s newcomers, something that has allowed them to fill the void left by last season’s departing seniors. “We’re very pleased with the way our freshmen have responded so far,” said ISU head coach Duane Sorenson. “We knew that they were very competitive coming in.” The Cyclones lost 11 seniors at the end of last season, accounting for three of the team’s top event times and two school records. This left plenty of room for newcomers to make an impact. The Cyclones welcomed 12 newcomers to the roster this season. This incoming group has accounted for 23 of the 34 individual events wins for the Cyclones. Four newcomers are members of winning relay squads as well. ISU assistant coach Kelly Nordell spoke on these new members, saying, “We have a lot of diamonds in the rough, kids that Duane and I thought really could step up to the Division I level and do something.” Cyclone freshman Elizabeth
Kleiner placed first in five events so far this season, including three in the winning meet at South Dakota State. Duane “In the pool we’re working on pushing ourselves,” Kleiner said of this season’s newcomers. “Having pretty much half the team, we have to Kleiner be able to step up and contribute.” “I think there are a lot of strong relationships. I know we all get along really well.” The team is Nordell very excited about the potential that this incoming group has shown early on. Nordell said she does not think the young swimmers know their potential yet, and Sorenson adds that he sees a great deal of promise as well. The swimmers themselves are just excited to even have the opportunity to get better. “Personally I’m really excited to already be where I am to be able to keep getting better in the college setting,” Kleiner said. “I feel like everyone else is just as excited about that.” The Cyclones return to the pool on Friday at the Northwestern Invitational.

Leslie Hall returns home By Vincent Geerts Ames247 Writer
Gold pants will shine their way back to Iowa State this December. Ames native Leslie Hall self-released her first album, “Gold Pants,” in 2005, capitalizing on the popularity of her gem-laden sweater collection and unmistakable gold pants. In the years since, Hall has released three additional CDs, promoted her work around the globe and performed on national television with Yo Gabba Gabba! and during Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Last week, Hall sent her fifth CD, “Destination Friendship,” for its first pressing. She plans to release the 12 track album in early December, with
subsequent releases to feature different bonus tracks so “first edition owners are extra special”. “My first album, I was just a girl getting to know how to make music,” Hall said. “I’m getting a lot better … I can’t help but evolve technically.” She makes her own backing tracks using computer software, producing multiple versions of each song before she begins recording. Bryon Dudley, owner and operator of Ames recording studio The Spacement, helped Hall record vocals for “Destination Friendship” and was impressed with her tracking ability. “There’s a lot of variety on the album: a couple remixes, a couple dance floor anthems, and one that has a little country flavor,” Dudley said. “It’s all
heavily arranged. When you hear her singing, it’s usually two or three vocal tracks at once, harmonizing with herself.” Hall said she wanted the new record to be “sharp and clean,” but retain a “dancy, ‘let’s get jiggy with it’” vibe. “The beats are what tie it all together,” she said. “It’s mostly about dancing and just staying positive.” The album also features two guest remixes of Hall’s past work, including a track from Fairfield’s Utopia Park. Because of her involvement with the Yo Gabba Gabba! live performance tour, Hall is currently performing in California. She will travel from the southwest to the southeast of the United States
before finally returning home to Ames on Dec. 12. “The shows are 10 times the size of my own, and toddlers don’t normally come to my shows either,” Hall said. “But it’s been a great experience as far as professionalism goes.” Hall has appeared in three seasons of the televised “Yo Gabba Gabba!” program on Nick! Jr as well. She thinks their partnership has been a success because “midwesterners know how to work hard, and they know how to be professional.” Though performances with “Yo Gabba Gabba!” do not include Hall’s material, she said it has been an enjoyable experience which proves “you don’t have to be mainstream to be interesting.”

60 works of art from ISU students and faculty are currently on display at the International Wolf Center in Ely, Minn., and will be exhibited until May 6. The two faculty members and 32 students whose art is on display participated in the 2010 and 2011 Biological and Pre-Medical Illustration 395 Field Illustration course offered here at Iowa State. At the end of spring semester, the class travels to the north shore of Lake Superior and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness for an eight-day trip.

While there, the students learn at various educational centers and have the chance to draw certain specimens from field observation. The
specimens which the students draw are ones that were chosen specifically before going on the trip. Dean Biechler, BPMI program coordinator and trip organizer, was surprised when the International Wolf Center expressed interest in displaying their exhibits. Biechler not only offered the 2011 and 2010 class’ projects, but he submitted a few from prior years as well. Some of the art includes specimen illustrations, landscape drawings, and paintings. “When they first saw them, they were like, ‘This is student work?’ They couldn’t believe it,” Biechler said.
After Biechler and an associate delivered the art to the wolf center, Biechler managed to get at least one work by each student on display, but some of the students had more than one piece put up. “It is a wonderful opportunity to have my work displayed at the Wolf Center next to so many other great pieces and for so long,” said Katelyn McDonald, senior in BPMI. During the class in spring, students write a proposal detailing what they want to achieve while on the trip. Then the students chose a specimen from a specimen list that they might want to
observe. Much research is asked of the student once they pick their specimen. Once the class is at the boundary waters, the student presents his or her information to the class, and draws the same specimen. “It’s totally up to them, and I’m extremely pleased with how they turn out,” Biechler said. While a majority of the students are BPMI majors, there are also works on display from architecture and integrated studio arts majors, ranging from freshmen to seniors. “It’s a very high quality set of works and that’s what we strive for,” Biechler said.

Ashlin Travers
Q: What was the process of creating it like, and how much work went into it?
By Sean Flack Ames247 Writer Ashlin Travers, senior in integrated studio arts, won best of show in the College of Design’s 32nd Annual Art and Design exhibition. Travers won for “Mobot,” a digital animation he created for Motion Machine Studio in Kansas City., Mo.
Q: Could you explain your animation? A: I got an image from my boss. He gave me a 2D image of kind of like a crab widget, and that’s what the [ Motion Machine Studio]’s logo is, and he wanted me to create kind of a Transformerlike animation. So I took that and created it, and it’s about 14 seconds long. And it starts as a gear, and the camera zooms in on the gear, and

Percussion drums it up
A: It was a lot of work. I used two different programs. I used Cinema 4D and After Effects. And it took around three months, and it took pretty much all the skills that I had in 3D and what I know about ... creating animations and everything. It took modeling, rigging, texturing, lighting and animating. So a lot went into it.
Q: How did the idea for all this come about? A: It started with the logo of the studio that my boss gave me, and then I started sketching out ideas for the crab, and before I knew it, the image of the crab was on the paper. And then I started modeling it out and creating it and then, it ended up kind of the way I designed it — all the gears rotated in the animation, and it was just kind of like ... a little fierce kind of robot.

ISU Percussion Ensemble members will showcase their skills with a concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Martha-Ellen Tye Recital Hall. They will present seven musical pieces with varying styles, from a marimba quartet to a jazz fusion piece, said Matthew Coley, lecturer in percussion and director of the ensemble. The concert will include both new pieces and ones they have refined from a performance in October. For the first time in a percussion ensemble concert, there will be two featured soloists, said Coley. Lee Plummer, senior in music education, will be playing marimba and Justin Whisler, senior in music, will be playing drum set. Members of the ensemble regularly meet with Coley for private lessons to better their skills gain experience with many different types of per-

cussion instruments. Whisler said he feels he has a “better grasp” on how to react in various musical situations from his two years in the ensemble. “[The ensemble] is a great way to play things we don’t usually get to play as percussionists,” Plummer said. “We take care of things melodically and harmonically instead of just playing rhythms, which is
new for most of us.” Plummer said he is looking forward to a trio piece called “Bridging the World,” which uses a variety of percussion instruments. Students should come to the concert in order to see what a small ensemble group can do, Plummer said. “I’m hoping there will be a great turn out,” Whisler said. “Either way, I’m going to have fun.”

>>TAILGATING.p1 Warren said. “It’s a concoction of Velveeta cheese, Chili and more-than-enough bacon. I make great food to have a great time and refresh my guests.” Warren has been an ISU fan for years and takes great pride in his tailgating. “I compare myself to the waterboy, because I refresh everybody and keep them going strong,” Warren said. Students see tailgating as a type of bonding experience, one that they would not want to pass up on. “I take great pride in dressing up in my cardinal and gold for the football games,” said Cassie Weickert, junior in kinesiology and health. “Everybody comes together and is in support of the same thing, everyone out is out tailgating five hours before the game. It really makes this place a great tailgating atmosphere.” With the last home game of the season coming up, Adair said he is looking forward to tailgating in the elements. “I’m looking forward to the game being freezing. [Oklahoma State] is a warm weather team, but [it is] also so I can have a warm bowl of chili in one hand and a cold one in the other,” Adair said.

Growing club plans for events Group brings Rail Jam back for February
By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Ski and Snowboarding Club functions to give students a chance to participate in multiple trips and events that students would not normally get the chance to participate in on their own. “We give people to an opportunity to go places and do things that they wouldn’t be able to do by themselves on a college budget,” said Matt Geren, sophomore in aerospace engineering. The club holds three major trips — one over Thanksgiving break, one over winter break, and one over spring break — along with other biweekly events hosted by the club. “It’s a place where people can go to learn about the sport,” said senior Ryan Kramme, club president. “We bring them on trips, do events around the year and do lessons.” Rail Jam has been one of the club’s biggest events. There have been complications in the past, but the club has ev-
We’ll close down the street, cover it with snow and put rails and jumps out and each person will do three rounds and be judged.” Ryan Kramme erything figured out since for this year’s event to run smoothly. “We have approval from the school to shut down [Union Drive],” Kramme said. “It’s a competition between 50 different people. We’ll close down the street, cover it with snow and put rails and jumps out and each person will do three rounds and be judged.” Rail Jam will be held on Union Drive on Feb. 4. In previous years, it was held on Chamberlain Street, but due to concerns from the city, the contest was moved toward the center of the ISU campus. “In the past, we’ve had quite a few spectators as well,” said junior Dan Collier, club treasurer. “We had a ton of people come out two years ago — close to
2,000.” Attracting that many spectators is not too difficult since it is one of the largest clubs on campus and continues to grow throughout the year. “We have roughly 285 members, and we’ll grow to around 350 to 400 as we get into the season,” Kramme said. Funding is not a problem for the club with that many members either. “We have membership dues which are $35 per member,” Collier said. “We also have sponsorships from many ski industry companies.” In terms of membership for the club in a future, Kramme and Collier like where it is headed. “We’ve grown a lot faster than we have in the past years,” Kramme said. “We’ve sold our trips out faster than ever, faster than I’ve ever seen before.” Collier also commented on the club’s future. “The club has a lot of freshmen and sophomores, which we believe is good for a strong club base,” Collier said. Collier stressed that those who are interested in joining do not have to be an expert to do so. They welcome everyone of all skill sets.
swept Kansas State (25-23, 25-21, 25-14) to improve their record to 21-4 overall and 12-2 in the Big 12. Iowa State is also ranked No. 2 in the last ratings percentage index poll, which is highest in school history. “I thought it was a little sluggish at times and not very sharp,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We had stretches where we were good, and we had stretches where we didn’t execute.” It was a slow start for Iowa State in set one, and JohnsonLynch partially credited that to having a week off. The Wildcats had the lead in set one at 15-13 and were tied at 23-23 at one point. Then after a big kill by middle back Jamie Straube and an attack error by Kansas State, the Cyclones escaped the first set up 1-0. Set two was a game of runs, and like Johnson-Lynch mentioned, was streaky. The Cyclones jumped out to a 7-1 lead, but managed to let the Wildcats cut the deficit to one at 12-13 . Iowa State then went on another run to make 23-14, but allowed Kansas State to go on a 6-0 run to make it 23-20. Iowa State finished the set with an attack error by the Wildcats and a set-winning kill from freshman Victoria

Hurtt. Iowa State ran away with the third set 25-14 hitting .308 and holding Kansas State to .028. On offense, after Jenson, the Cyclones were led by committee as Victoria Hurtt and Kelsey Petersen had eight kills each and behind them, middle backs Jamie Straube and Tenisha Matlock recorded six and five kills, respectively. Coming on for the Cyclones as of late are Peterson, as a right side, and Hurtt, as an outside. After filling in for a struggling Hannah Willms, Hurtt has had 41 kills and hit on a .348 clip over the last four games. Over that same stretch Petersen has hit .300 with 38 kills. “I just try to work hard every single play,” Hurtt said. “I just want to come in every single practice and work hard and make sure I’m getting better.” Other teams have been focusing on stopping Jenson and the middles which leaves a lot of one on one advantages for Peterson on the right side. “Carly and the middles are doing a good job of opening the block for me,” Petersen said. When asked if she thought she was playing the best volleyball of her career, Petersen responded, “Definitely... . I feel like since I’m a senior, I’m a lot more fearless.”
