Sexual assault

Reported instances increase

By Kaitlin.York iowastatedaily.com The number of sexual assaults reported at Iowa State has increased during the past two years.

Four sexual assaults were reported in 2007. The number of reported cases increased to 10 in 2008 and continued to rise in 2009 to 20, according to the Safety and You statistics the university is required to report annually.

Quidditch for muggles Siblings create club based on ‘Harry Potter’ series

By Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com When Haley Dillon, junior in materials engineering, and her younger brother Mark, freshman in engineering, started reading the “Harry Potter” series, they had no idea that they would one day bring a part of the wizarding world to the muggles at Iowa State.

The two began reading the series when it first came out and followed Potter’s endeavors through his years at Hogwarts.

World hunger

As each new book was released the two would be among the die-hard fans waiting to get their hands on the titles before anyone else.

The two are the founders of the ISU Quidditch Club, which just became an official club at Iowa State in November and was recently recognized by the International Quidditch Association. Membership continues to grow as the word of the club spreads throughout campus by word of mouth and Facebook.

One day in October, Mark came home from a test to find a slightly giddy Haley, enthusiastic to tell her brother about the news.

The beloved game in the “Harry Potter” series, Quidditch, had actually become a real sport.

Haley had heard about the Quidditch

It’s a modern day Crusades that few have heard of, located in an area all too familiar with war and conflict.

North and South Sudan had been in constant battle for more than two decades until 2005 when the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was enacted.

More people die from hunger each year than from AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined, according to Oxfam America’s Food For All fact sheet. This week ISU students are supporting a national movement to end world hunger by donating a meal from their meal plans to the organization.

Oxfam America is an international relief and development organization. The group is part of Oxfam, a confederation of 13 organizations working together in 90 countries and with partners and allies around the world to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice, according to their website.

Oxfam America and St. Thomas Aquinas Church and Catholic Student Center in Ames have been working with Iowa State since 1940. Every year they organize the skip-a-meal event, which allows students to sacrifice one of their meals to provide a monetary donation to the organization.

“Oxfam America is a simple way for people to get involved and help other people,” said Heidi Dittmer, sophomore in agronomy and member of the Service and Justice Team at St. Thomas Aquinas.

More than 925 million people worldwide suffer from chronic hunger, according to the fact sheet.

Today, almost one in six people do not receive enough food to be healthy and lead an active life; making hunger and malnutrition the number one risk to health worldwide.

The skip-a-meal event allows students to contrib-

The goal was to get the one team’s color on other people without getting any on oneself.

“I thought it was a lot of fun,” Konkowski said. “We wish we would have had it in the early fall when it’s nice and warm, but overall we had a great turnout, and everyone had a lot of fun. We’ll definitely think about doing it again in the future.”

’Days of Our Lives’ called out on product placement: There’s a whole lot of drama going on at “Days of Our Lives,� but it has nothing to do with plot lines and everything to do with plugging products.

The soap opera has recently been called out for promoting cereal, snacks and even Chinese food in what basically amounts to mini-commercials within each episode, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

On one show, Melanie (Molly Burnett) is seen singing the praises of Cheerios. “It’s not just for breakfast,� she tells Nathan (Mark Hapka) of the cereal. “They have whole grains and only one gram of sugar, which is excellent for swimsuit season.� “The Biggest Loser� host Alison Sweeney, who plays Sami on “DOOL,� has appeared in two separate scenes that push products.

In one, she explains the joys of Chex Mix to her date, who has never sampled the snack. “Are you serious? Have you been living under a rock?â€? she asks. “It’s so good. You have to try it. It’s like a million avors exploding in your mouth!â€?

The second incident ďŹ nds Caroline (Peggy McCay) comforting Sami with Wanchai Ferry frozen Chinese dinners. “I made some for the kids earlier and they just couldn’t get enough of it,â€? says Caroline as she holds the bright red packaging. “And it’s a complete meal, because it comes with rice, you know.â€?

First 36 minutes of new ‘Harry Potter’ movie leaked: For those too busy to check out entertainment news, the second-to-last “Harry Potter� movie debuts Friday.

The ďŹ rst 36 minutes of the ďŹ lm are already online, circulating on a number of “torrentâ€? sites, which help users download sometimes-pirated media ďŹ les.

The leaked chunk of the movie is raising some interesting questions. Among them: Will the ďŹ lm actually do better because a portion of it has been leaked online?

One blogger goes further, asking if Warner Bros.

Entertainment, which made the ďŹ lm and shares a parent company with CNN, leaked the clip on purpose. “Warner Bros. Pictures is usually none too fond of leaks, especially if a ďŹ lm gets out before it premieres in theater,â€? writes Ernesto, editor-in-chief of the site TorrentFreak.com. “However, today’s leak may actually beneďŹ t the movie and boost theater attendance, as long as the full version doesn’t leak out too. If the ďŹ rst half hour is compelling enough, people will have to go to the theater and pay for a ticket to see the rest.â€?

the community to start owning the program, and now with a short notice, the group is trying to figure out how to proceed with the matter,” Simbric said.

“At this time it is very unknown what we will do, although we will be receiving some grant money for the next two years but certainly not enough to sustain the level that the program has been funded at and needs to operate,” Simbric said.

The biggest question about the increase is whether or not more sexual assaults are actually happening or if the statistical increase is because victims are more comfortable reporting their experiences due to the outreach Iowa State provides.

“We place a heavy emphasis on victim reporting, and we try to eliminate those barriers to make it more comfortable for those people that come forward about being assaulted,” Florer said.

If a student becomes a victim of sexual assault, he or she is encouraged to seek immediate assistance.

“We encourage students to call the Dean of Students Office to make an appointment so that we can make sure that you have all of the information you need, resources available and support,” Somerville said.

that,” said Dione Somerville, dean of students.

Many people misunderstand the difference between sexual misconduct and sexual assault.

“Sexual exploitation, harassment and abuse are all things that are included in sexual misconduct,” Somerville said. “Sexual assault is strictly rape.”

Iowa State’s statistics on forcible sex offenses are the highest among Big 12 schools.

There are organizations and services at Iowa State dedicated to promoting awareness and prevention of sexual assault. These include the Assault Care Center Extending Shelter and Support and the Story County Sexual Assault Response Team, which each guarantee confidentiality.

Every year during Destination Iowa State, Catalyst Theater Company presents an award winning “Scene on Campus” skit.

“They use interactive theater techniques, focusing primarily on incoming freshmen, to educate them on the issues of sexual assault, relationship violence and stalking,” said Steffani Simbric, coordinator for

5 Story County SART. ACCESS provides a 24-hour crisis line, shelter, individual counseling, support groups, advocacy and community education regarding sexual and domestic violence, according to their website.

SART is an on-campus group of specially-trained community professionals who work together to meet the needs of sexual assault victims and survivors, according to their brochure.

ute to the international efforts underway to combat hunger without leaving campus.

“A lot of students are passionate about world hunger, but being in college you can’t really do much, so we give students the opportunity to do that,” Dittmer said.

Oxfam America’s donations go to every person in need across the world. The number of students who sign up for the event increases every year, Dittmer said.

Iowa State offered opportunities for students to donate at the three dining centers Nov. 8 to 13. So far, 1,005 people have signed up to donate. St. Thomas Aquinas organizes the money and sends it to Oxfam America.

“Every dollar counts. I donate what I don’t need to others who need it,” said Cassidy Leclaire, junior in chemical engineering and member of the Service and Justice Team.

Leclaire stressed the importance of reaching out to others who don’t have the same opportunities and resources. “[It’s about] treating others how you want to be treated,” Leclaire said. “If you were starving and needed something to eat, you would be thankful and not go hungry.”

Thanksgiving is next week, and Dittmer said this is the time of the year to be giving thanks and giving something for a purpose, whether it be a meal or love.

“Around the time of Thanksgiving, we focus on some of the other things we have. We give our abundance to people so they can have something to eat,” Dittmer said. “We fast for one meal so we can experience what they go through every day.”

percent of those voters chose Barack Obama in the presidential election.

Travis Sullivan, senior in agricultural business, voted in 2008 but didn’t cast a ballot this year.

“I went to three different places [in 2008] and they told me to go to a different place, a different place and I got so frustrated with it,” Sullivan said. “By the time I got there to the place I was supposed to be at, the polls were closed and I was so fed up with it.”

Poll workers said on election day they were having trouble with students showing up at the wrong polling location. They attributed it to a mix of confusion with satellite polling and students trying to vote in the same location they did in 2008, even though their address had changed since then.

They also said they saw only a fraction of interest as compared with 2008. Two years ago, lines were long and they routinely ran out of registration cards throughout the day.

They described only a trickle of college students showed at polling stations on campus this November.

Alex Menard, senior in anthropology, followed the elections closely — she said she read multiple newspapers, watched it unfold on television and talked with friends.

“I’m not necessarily a [political] junkie.

I should be more of a junkie, but I was just interested in what the results were because they’re important,” Menard said.

But Menard did not vote.

“I regret that I didn’t, but I didn’t feel that I was educated enough in the issues themselves before the race to be able to make an educated guess,” Menard said.

Who the Non-Voters Are Of non-voters, 60 percent had only a high school education or less, according to the Pew Center for Research. Only 16 percent actually graduated from college. Similarly, nonvoters typically held a lower annual income.

The Hispanic population was far less likely to vote than any other racial demographic; they comprised only 6 percent of the likely voters and 21 percent of the non-voters.

Non-voters were found by the Pew Center to be more liberal and lean more Democratic than likely voters, while also holding a

much higher approval of President Obama’s performance.

Iowa State saw multiple visits from Democratic candidates, including local and statewide candidates like Gov. Chet Culver, Francis Thicke and Bill Maske. While Republicans Terry Branstad and Bill Northey did not visit campus, other Republicans like Sen. Charles Grassley and Tim Gartin did.

A clear majority of non-voters also approved of the health care reform passed in March, as compared with a split of all adults.

The only poll question finding likely and unlikely voters in absolute agreement was 68 percent of each group agreeing with the sentence, “Elected officials don’t care what people like me think.”

Editorial

Facebook’s new message feature needs opt-out Your daily dose of “Farmville,” “MafiaWars,” LOLcat postings or political rantings may recently have been interrupted with Facebook’s announcement of a new feature: Facebook Messages. No, not the messaging service Facebook has provided since 2006, but a new take on messaging that, so says its marketing team, is revolutionary in its simplicity and integration.

Facebook’s new messaging service combines the functions of SMS, e-mail, instant messaging and its former messaging service into one interface. Its communication revolution involves a simplification of the messaging process: dropping subject lines, CC: and BCC: fields and erasing the boundaries between multiple media.

While Facebook can pat itself on the back for offending the traditional means of communication, a prerequisite to labeling something a new-media technology, their innovation is deeply flawed. Communication is a context sensitive process. When we send e-mail, text messages or instant messages, we do so with different levels of urgency, formality and content. Our ability to control our contact with these different media allow us to organize our lives socially, professionally and topically. Blurring these boundaries is unlikely to be a welcome revolution for those of us who live multi-faceted lives and don’t need our grandmothers texting us their e-mail forwards.

Facebook also promises to separate your bank statements from your party invitations.

Yes, read that again: Facebook thinks we trust it with bank statements.

For a service that has a poor track record of privacy and data ownership, and is friendlier to its third-party developers than its users, the idea of sensitive financial information circulating through its servers gives pause to even enthusiastic social networkers.

Finally, Facebook’s revolution seems shockingly similar to the evolution of Google’s Gmail service. With more than eight years of development, Google has incorporated SMS, video chat, IM and phone service into Gmail, all with a better track record of security, and less frivolous social network fluff — Buzz not withstanding.

The need for a website that started as a way to deepen social connections around campus to constantly reinvent itself and pry into new areas of our social lives is frustrating and, to some of us, violating. Features are rolled out behind a veil of flashy corporate marketing phrases and technocratic jargon, without enough knowledge or agency given to the user to judge its impact.

If tech companies want to seriously prioritize the user’s privacy and promote more informed usage of online services, they can do so with a few easy steps.

First, services like Facebook Messages should be an opt-in service. If you want the service turned on, you should need to actively do it yourself, not have it thrust upon you and search for the option to turn it off, if indeed it exists. Next, adequate information should be given on the privacy and ownership of your information and your ability to remove it in the future. Finally, an independent watchdog group should be set up to verify and report on claims of privacy, and advise users on sharing information with increasingly intrusive and far reaching services.

That said, if you disagree with our analysis, feel free to complain to us on Twitter or Facebook.

Laws

Getting our rights wrong

By Bijan. Choobineh iowastatedaily.com

Rights to claims about privacy, bearing arms often misinterpreted

W

e all have rights, every single one of us. Our rights come from all sorts of places: the law, the constitution and even some natural law/rights.

Every now and then you hear someone proclaim they have a right to do something.

But do they really?

Nowadays more people are using the statement, “I have a right to do whatever.”

Have we suddenly gained a ridiculous amount of rights? Or are we just more informed about our rights?

The sad reality is that we are far less informed about our rights than ever before.

Although it doesn’t seem that bad, it’s really pathetic to see someone make up a random right. Therefore, we all need to inform ourselves about our rights so we don’t look like idiots.

Let’s take a look at some of the wellknown “rights” people have created. Most people have Facebook. One of the big issues with Facebook is privacy. Most people proclaim they have a right to keep what is on Facebook private and not get in trouble for things posted on Facebook. This is clearly not a right, but let’s examine why that is.

First of all, let’s see if it’s in the Constitution. Nope, I checked; it’s not. In fact, the Constitution never mentions the idea of privacy in it. Therefore that outlet is gone. Next let’s look at law. There are privacy laws out there, but they work against this claim, so that’s busted. Finally let’s see if this is just a common sense right or a natural right. Although it would be really convenient for some to have it private, it just doesn’t make sense. This is because of the nature of Facebook and the Internet.

Facebook is public, that’s the whole idea behind it, and everyone knows it when they sign up. Now some may say the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures shields you in this Facebook case. Sorry, Facebook users, it doesn’t. The reason why is because in this case, you are giving consent to Facebook by signing up and agreeing to their policy to have things viewed by the public. It doesn’t work if you are giving consent in a way for people to see what you post. If you know it’s going to be public, it’s your fault if you post something damaging to your reputation there.

Some people actually know the laws, but there is still some confusion on how they work. Every individual has rights. These rights come from all sorts of places.

A common misconception is how they work. The problem is many people create their own interpretation of the right, and some people don’t know when their rights end. First let’s look at my favorite “right” mistake, which is misinterpretation. The Second Amendment, amusingly enough, gets translated in all sorts of ways. The Second Amendment gives you the right to bear arms. This, no doubt, is kind of vague.

Therefore a mutated spawn of translations were bound to come out of this amendment.

Certain interpretations include the right to carry a weapon with you everywhere or the right to fire a weapon anywhere or

People frequently misinterpret and exaggerate their rights beyond the bounds of what their actual legal rights are. For instance, the right to privacy may not extend to Facebook because all users agree to terms of use. Courtesy photo: Thinkstock

the right to arm bears. These no doubt are wrong in many ways. A famous example of someone using this right incorrectly was a while ago in New York when a man walked around with a Claymore on his back. I’m afraid that’s not really a right — sorry, folks.

Some would argue against this and say this point basically makes the Second Amendment seem irrelevant and that an individual does not have any rights. However this is not what I am saying at all.

The thing is, we all need to draw a line somewhere. These lines are drawn by the laws in place. For example, the Brady Bill makes getting a weapon more difficult, because they do background checks. This being said, you still have a right to own a weapon, and in certain situations or places, you are allowed to carry a weapon. You have to draw the line, because it would be really bad if people started bringing all sorts of weapons into classrooms — it would not end well. But as you can see, there is a major difference between owning and carrying a gun in certain places and carrying a broadsword in downtown New York.

There is also the issue on when your rights end. In law, your rights end when you

violate other’s rights. That means if you attempt to murder someone, you lose some of your rights. So if any of you commit any serious crimes, which I strongly discourage, don’t be surprised if there is negligence of your rights thereafter.

Another issue is that people don’t know when to use their rights. This really comes into play in law enforcement.

When it comes to law enforcement issues, you have a considerable amount of rights. In a perfect world, everything would go smoothly, and no one would misuse their power. This is a fantastical idea.

Law enforcement officials, at times, misuse their power or do things that may be questionable. A misconception is that whatever the police officer states or does is legal or correct. There are instances where that is not the case. Because of these instances, you need to know your rights, so you can prevent yourself from situations like these.

Through all of these mistakes there is hope. You can avoid making dumb mistakes like these by knowing your rights.

Know your rights so you don’t cry wolf, and know them so you don’t make false interpretations; it may be slightly painful.

Politics

U.S. needs third party intervention

W

e face a projected budget deficit of $1.4 trillion in 2030, the year when baby boomers start to weigh heavily on government services.

We have a national debt that is ballooning out of control and eating up our capital in the form of payments — largely to foreign investors and nations, especially China. The middle class is slipping downward; the poor are growing and stuck in an economy where there are fewer jobs for the uneducated.

Our leaders have let us down with overly grandiose schemes of what government can do for individuals and doing so on borrowed money. Our leaders have also, frankly, sold us out to huge companies that have gradually moved all the good jobs overseas to get that $1.00 an hour max labor.

We used to have a strong economy based on consumer spending, because when people spent, it created jobs and prosperity for American factories, stores and businesses. Now consumer spending and tax cuts largely stimulate jobs and growth in China. That’s where tax cut dollars now go.

We hear that trade protectionism is bad. So then, what is

Steffen Schmidt is a professor of political science. going to be the future foundation of the U.S. economy?

Economists told us that it would be the “knowledge” and “service” economy, which was to follow the industrial and manufacturing, and farming, economy. Looks like the economists were wrong again. The post-industrial economy is no longer driving U.S. prosperity.

The Indians, Chinese, Koreans and many others can produce “knowledge” and “smart people” — like engineers — just as easily as we can. But, they also now make the cars, electronic devices, clothing, food, plastics, consumer goods and just about everything else Americans buy — much of which used to be made in the U.S. The service part of the postmanufacturing U.S. economy is also not the magic bullet because now English-speaking workers in Jamaica, India, Ireland, Nigeria and other low wage places can do most of the customer service and other service work. They even tutor our students online with live video from India.

The other service industries — banking and insurance — have become predators who have American consumers

trapped with bad corporate investment decisions, high credit card charges and penalties and skyrocketing insurance rates.

The biggest engine that drives our economy, private home and business ownership, was effectively destroyed by very, very evil — or stupid — people who made mortgages toxic and then proceeded to destroy confidence in property owner rights. Private property is the core foundation of capitalism. By basically stealing people’s properties with foreclosures and evictions that did not follow the rights of owners, the very bedrock of confidence in capitalism has been dangerously shaken.

So how optimistic am I about where all this will end up?

I think it will drag out until a mass of the middle class of Americans rises up and says “no more” and basically turns this country around. I happen to think neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are capable of doing that because they have been bought and paid for by powerful special interests.

So that large number, now probably a majority, of Americans who want real change may need to invent a new political party based on honesty and concern for the vast hurting middle class of

Americans. A new party that will stay away from divisive and toxic social issues and let people resolve those privately.

A party that will refocus what government can and should do to a realistic proportion. The number of people not working, on welfare and other programs for several generations is unsustainable for any economy, and we need to find a smart solution for that. We need a new political party that will restore confidence in the American political system, the American dream and turn around that abysmal 17 percent approval rating of Congress and the sliding approval of the president.

Until the donkey and elephant monopoly is seriously challenged, they will continue to drive the nation in a downward spiral that is unacceptable and dangerous. It is the current generation of students and young people who have the most to lose from staying on this catastrophic course. It is the current so-called “Millennial generation” together with Generation X and Y who will need to stop screwing around with Facebook and get involved in politics!

Until they rise up and start leading, put your seats back and trays in an upright position and fasten your set belts. It’s going to be a very rough ride.

Bulldog blowout

Iowa State defeats in-state rival by record-setting point margin 91-43

By Chris.Cuellar iowastatedaily.com In the 170th meeting between the storied Drake and ISU basketball programs, the Cyclones opened up a lead larger than the gap between Ames and Des Moines.

In front of an energized 12,988 fans at Hilton Coliseum on Wednesday, the Cyclones (3-0) turned what was supposed to be their first tough test of the season into a dominating showcase, beating the Bulldogs (1-1) 91-43.

Fueled by an unbelievable night from guard Scott Christopherson and a bad shooting night from nearby Drake, a 23-1 run in the first quarter would be all the Cyclones needed to put the game away.

“It was just one of those nights,” Christopherson said. “Even in warm-ups today, I felt like no matter what I threw up, it was going in.

I’m thankful that it carried on into the game.”

Christopherson finished with 29 points on 11-of-11 shooting, tying an ISU record from 1989. It was a night even Iowa State’s NBAfamous coach Fred Hoiberg could appreciate, as he pulled the junior off the floor with eight minutes left in the game to a standing ovation.

“I heard it was my record, that’s why I didn’t Drake put him in,” Hoiberg said Iowa State to a roomful of laughter.

“I could sense in shoot-around today that Scottie was going to have a big night. He had a lot of lift on his shot, he had a lot of bounce and he was in a great mood.”

German and since-departed guard Lucca Staiger knocked down a school record 10 3-pointers against the Bulldogs last season in an ISU win, but the newlook Cyclones seemed to make the crowd forget all about shooting nights in the past. At the 8:49 mark in the second half, Christopherson had outscored Drake 29-28.

“He’s worked extremely hard.

He’s a guy who can get it going, and he got it going tonight. We certainly didn’t bother him enough,” said Drake coach Mark Phelps.

Key players

If it seemed like Scott Christopherson couldn’t miss Wednesday night, it’s because he didn’t.

The junior was perfect from everywhere on the floor, hitting all 11 of his shots, including a 5-5 performance from 3-point range. He finished with 29 points, a career high, leading Iowa State to its 9143 win over Drake.

“I could sense in shootaround today that Scottie was going to have a great night,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “Scottie was finding the seam, and those guys just continued to look for him every single time down the floor. “ Anytime Christopherson lined up a shot, the Hilton crowd sensed a make coming, and they weren’t once disappointed. He hit shots from the wing, the top of the key and the baselines, as well as inside the 3-point arc on his way to tying an ISU record held by Mark Baugh.

Iowa State struggles with focus late into regular season

By Kelsey.Jacobs iowastatedaily.com

Melvin Ejim 14 points, 7/8 field goals

Diante Garrett 14 points, 10 assists

Calvin Godfrey 2 points, 14 rebounds, 18 minutes

While Iowa State’s up-tempo offense fills the stat sheets, it has been the team’s defense that has pushed it to a strong start. The Cyclones have allowed just 27.3 percent shooting in the first half of their first three games, and held the potentially hot-shooting Bulldogs to just four 3-pointers on the night and 22.4 percent overall.

“For it being my first time [in rivalry], I got pretty pumped and excited to go out,” freshman forward Melvin Ejim said. “You don’t really see how competitive it gets until you actually play in the game. It was a good experience for me, and I loved it.”

Drake looked powerless to stop the onslaught in the second half, getting outscored 46-22 in the final 20 minutes. Iowa State got its points in the paint early, and as the game wore on, forced the pace.

The Cyclones lived up to their nickname, owning the 1 2 final Bulldogs all over the 21 22 43 floor, leading 42-10 45 46 91 in the paint and 15-0 on the fast break. Every ISU player scored.

“That was a good, old-fashioned whipping. I thought coming into the game they were playing very well. They beat us in every way at both ends of the court. We’ll certainly learn from this and get better from this,” Phelps said. “In that building, they play with a lot of energy on offense and really did a good job on the defensive end. I think that we ran into a team that was on a roll, stayed on a roll, and we helped the roll.”

The game brings hope to a team that was expected to struggle heading into a tough stretch in the schedule. Drake had beaten Iowa State two-straight times at Hilton

Coliseum, but this year’s edition ensured the Cyclones wouldn’t join the infamous three-game home losing streak of 1937 to 1939.

All 10 available Cyclone players got on the floor for at least six minutes of action, and for the team picked to finish last in the Big 12 at the start of the season, this is the start they only could have wished for. The average winning margin of Iowa State’s first three games has been 29.7 points.

“These guys are out there playing with a chip on their shoulder right now,” Hoiberg said. “They want to go out and prove people wrong. If they continue to go out there and play like that, who knows what can happen.”

The Cyclones’ largest winning home margin against Drake had been 38 points, set in 1993, but Iowa State didn’t let Drake get as close as 38 from the 11:55 mark of

Fighting through

Senior guard Jake Anderson played through flu like symptoms Wednesday, and logged a seasonlow 25 minutes.

“If you would have seen Jake this morning, you wouldn’t think there would be any way he would come out and play this game tonight,” Hoiberg said. “He threw up all morning, took some pills, we put in IVs.” Freshman forward Melvin Ejim played despite a personal loss.

“Melvin lost one his friends to cancer yesterday,” Hoiberg said. “A lot of people don’t realize that, how tough of a day it was for Melvin.”

the second half.

Iowa State’s next action is in Des Moines at Wells Fargo Arena, as the Cyclones take on Creighton and last year’s ISU coach Greg McDermott. The game tips off at 2 p.m.

Shooting 5-of-5 from the 3-point range also tied an ISU record held by Ron Bayless. This pushed Christopherson to the top of the ISU all-time 3-point list at 45.7 percent shooting.

“The ball was moving on the offensive end, and I ended up being the recipient of a lot of those passes,” Christopherson said. “That could have been anybody out there tonight. It’s hard to guard when the ball is moving like that and you’ve got guys that can make plays.”

Christopherson and the rest of the Cyclones are shooting almost at will in coach Fred Hoiberg’s wide-open, fast-paced offense.

Iowa State attempted 25 from beyond the 3-point line Wednesday night, converting on nine.

But it wasn’t just the three that Christopherson was hitting. Early in the first half, he got going on mid-range jumpers and lay-ins, taking the ball and attacking the rim, for a 19-point opening period.

The LaCrosse, Wis., native also added four rebounds and three

Disappointment and winning don’t usually go hand-in-hand, but disappointment is the word coach Christy Johnson-Lynch used Tuesday after the Cyclones swept Colorado 3-0 (25-13, 25-9, 25-22).

Coming off two losses against Missouri and Oklahoma, the team was looking for a win against Colorado to boost morale at the tail end of a grueling season.

Johnson-Lynch admitted that it’s always good to get a win, but despite the numbers indicating victory on the scoreboard, she said she was still not satisfied with her team.

“I’m very disappointed,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Our issue is if can we play well for a whole two hours, a whole match. And we should have been able to do that [Tuesday].”

Consistency has been something the team has struggled with all season, whether it’s starting slow or weakening at the finish.

One culprit has been mental toughness — the ability to mentally endure more than an hour and a half of Big 12 play. The Cyclones have the potential to do this, as individual members of the team have played entire matches at the level Johnson-Lynch desires.

“A lot of people can do something good once or twice, but can they do something good 20 times?” Johnson-Lynch said. “We have lots of players capable of it. I’ve seen them all do it.

But I don’t know if we have anyone that does it consistently.”

The other factor in maintaining stamina throughout a match can simply be easing up in a response to winning, particularly winning by a large margin.

Tuesday, the Cyclones went into the third set with three players hitting above .400 and a team percentage of .379. They held the Buffaloes to a single-digit score of nine during the second set, the lowest number of points by an ISU opponent in a single set this season.

With a sweep comfortably in sight, the Cyclones eased up during the last set. They allowed the Buffaloes to get 22 points. At the end of the match Iowa State’s percentage had dropped to .323 with only Victoria Henson hitting above .400.

“I don’t think we took [the third set] as seriously as we did the first two sets, which is kind of frustrating,” said middle blocker Jamie Straube. “It’s bad to say it, but we kind of let ourselves relax a little bit too much.”

The team has been working on pressurepacked finishing situations in practice. They’ll run six-on-six drills with the score within two points of the end of a set. Whichever team loses the match usually has to run or do push-ups.

Even though the team practices finishing strong, middle blocker Debbie Stadick said it can still be physically and mentally difficult to do in a match.

“When you’re starting to get going and you have a lot of energy, it’s a little bit easier,” Stadick said. “You still have fresh legs, and you can still yell. But after awhile the kills don’t seem as exciting and it gets harder, but there’s really no excuse for it.”

Although the team didn’t finish strong Tuesday, it still got a much needed win as it approaches the end of the season. The team has only three regular-season matches left to attempt a completely consistent match before the NCAA tournament in December.

Johnson-Lynch, herself a member of Nebraska’s NCAA Championship team in 1995, knows how difficult finding focus for an entire match is, especially at the end of a season.

“It’s a symbol of the whole season — long and grueling, hard on your body and mentallytaxing,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s a reflection of how tough it is to push through a whole season and peak at the end instead of burning yourself out.”

The Cyclones will next head to College Station, Texas, to take on Texas A&M at 2 p.m.

Sunday.

Hockey

ISU to face two Oklahoma teams

By Sara.Schlueter iowastatedaily.com This weekend the Cyclone hockey team will head south to take on both the University of Oklahoma and the University of Central Oklahoma in a road series.

The Cyclones have faced both opponents already this season, sweeping Central Oklahoma, but losing both games to Oklahoma.

“We are a better team since then, and I think if we work hard we can win both games,” said freshman forward Jake Flynn.

The Cyclones will be going into the weekend on a four-game winning streak.

“This is what Cyclone hockey [fans are] used to seeing,” said coach Al Murdoch.

The team has seen much improvement in the past few weeks which helped contribute to their winning streak.

“We have been having good positional play, defense and offense.

We have also had a good balance of scoring in games,” Murdoch said.

Working together as a team has also improved the Cyclones’ record this season.

“We have a good line combination, and guys are playing well with each other,” said senior Cort Bulloch.

The Cyclones are averaging around six goals per game. The win streak and some maturation have boosted the total in the past couple weeks. Against Indiana last weekend, goals were scored by not only the upperclassmen, but the underclassmen as well.

“We are starting to see some of our other players stepping up,” Murdoch said. “[Chris] Cucullu and [Justin] Wilkinson are an example. They had great defensive styles, and the rest of the team should step up to the level that Wilkinson does.”

Although the Cyclones have beaten Central Oklahoma, the

competition will be tough, and they know they’ll have to stay focused to come out of the state a winner.

“These are some top-notch teams, and it will be a hard-fought battle,” Bulloch said.

The Cyclones are sitting at 9-9, and during Thanksgiving Break, the Cyclones will be in Canada.

Iowa State will take on the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University and Trinity Western University.

The next home game will be Dec. 4. The Cyclones will battle the current No. 1 Lindenwood University in a two-game series.

Cyclones prepare for busy weekend

Kyle Hutter, who is ranked No. 12 at 133 pounds.

Hutter is 7-2 this season with four major decisions.

Last weekend at the Harold Nichols Open, redshirt freshman Cole Shafer placed fourth in the 184-pound bracket. The Heber City, Utah, native is almost back to 100 percent after recovering from an illness that affected his conditioning and energy. “My cardio was real low, and it took a lot out of me just strength-wise,� Shafer said. “I lost a lot of weight, so it took me a while to build back up to where I was, and I’m still trying to get my cardio back and work it in.�

Shafer will be in contention with fellow redshirt freshman Tyler Christensen and true freshman Matt Riley for the starting spot at 184 pounds for the Cyclones.

The grappling is set to begin at 9 a.m. Saturday in Omaha, Neb. The dual meet will be held at 7 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum.

The Omaha Open is an unattached meet, meaning redshirted wrestlers can compete without fear of losing that status with the NCAA.

Swimming and diving

Team heads to Illinois for TYR Invitational

By Dean.Berhow-Goll iowastatedaily.com The ISU swimming and diving team is ready to take on a big challenge in this weekend’s TYR Northwestern Invitational in Evanston, Ill. Last year at this meet the Cyclones came away with a second place ďŹ nish, right behind Northwestern, who is the team to beat at the Invitational. “Northwestern has tremendous team depth across the board,â€? said coach Duane Sorenson. “They really don’t have any weaknesses.â€?

In this week’s preparation, the swimmers and divers have been looking ahead to future meets. “Getting ready for a meet like this is big,� Sorenson said. “It’s really just a tune-up for the Big 12 Championships.�

The team has been focusing on times more than anything this past week, and also has been working on having a good mentality at all times. “It’s all about times,�

Sorenson said. “Little things like focusing on your start are important. If you’re just going through the motions and some things, you’re going to lose time.�

The women have been working speciďŹ cally on speed this week. The focus has been

The Cyclones will compete against ďŹ ve schools at the threeday meet, including North Dakota, Kenyon College, Cleveland State, Illinois-Chicago and host Northwestern.

on getting what Sorenson called “that body signatureâ€? in the water, so that instead of ďŹ ghting the water, they can ow through it.

Sorenson said if there are any swimmers expected to have a big meet, it would be Emily Wiltsie, who had an excellent performance against Northern Iowa. He also cited Dani Harris.

As for the divers, coach Jeff Warrick knows the competition is good, but he also expects the Cyclones to step up and rise to the competition. “This meet is more focused than the past ones,� Warrick said, “and since they’re able to focus more, hopefully our scores will show that.�

The divers for Iowa State

For the third weekend in a row, the ISU wrestling team will have a plentiful amount of wrestling ahead of it.

No. 23 Iowa State (3-0) will be traveling to Omaha, Neb., to compete in the Omaha Open on Saturday, followed by a return home to face Old Dominion (0-0) in a dual meet Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just happy to be competing,â&#x20AC;? said senior Jon Reader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been training hard and putting in the work and really wrapping our heads around what coach is implementing and just loving to compete.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the atmosphere weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in right now in just laying everything on the line and competing.â&#x20AC;?

The ISU coaching staff has encouraged all of the freshman redshirting this year to enter the Omaha Open unattached Saturday. Competing unattached means Iowa State complies with NCAA guidelines pertaining to athletes redshirting.

However, assistant coach Yero Washington said four to six backups and non-starters will be donning cardinal and gold singlets at the tournament.

The following day, Old Dominion will be coming to town fresh off a Saturday dual meet against Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls.

The Monarchsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top-ranked wrestler is senior James Nicholson, who sits seventh in the nation at 125 pounds. Nicholson, who hails from Des Moines, is the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only undefeated wrestler at 5-0.

Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Patrick Hunter vividly remembers his bout with Nicholson in the semiďŹ nal match of the 125-pound championship bracket at the Hokie Open two weeks ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I gave up a couple cheap points on the edge of the mat, gave up another point at the end of the period, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a six-point swing right there,â&#x20AC;? Hunter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So [this time] I just need to stay solid, stay smart and stay on my attack, put my pressure on him, and just wrestle a smart match and not give up stupid points against a quality kid.â&#x20AC;?

Muggle Quidditch is very similar to the game played in “Harry Potter,” with a few exceptions, according to the International Quidditch Association official website: The players hold the same positions and have the same duties as in the books, with the addition of a snitch runner.

The snitch runner is a neutral player able to run anywhere on campus. They are able to hide from the seekers, taunt them or do whatever it takes to keep away. The snitch itself hangs in a sock, tied to the snitch runner’s waist.

The job of the seekers is to hunt for the snitch on campus, run after him and attempt to pull the sock with the snitch in it from the snitch runner’s waist.

“It is supposed to be made more difficult because there are no fouling rules that apply to the snitch runner in his attempts to hamper the seeker’s efforts,” Haley said.

Just like in the books, the seeker catching the snitch signals the

end of the game, except in Muggle Quidditch, instead of the snitch being worth 150 points, it is only worth 30.

This is to give both teams a fighting chance and to place more importance on other members of the team.

“The biggest difference between the two is the fact that we cannot, in fact, fly on broomsticks,” Haley said.

“So we run around with brooms between our legs instead. One hand must remain on the broom at all times. This adds a level of difficulty and silliness that makes the game awesome.”

The ISU Quidditch Club will be playing its first scrimmage Nov. 28. In the spring, the club is hoping to have regular weekend matches and hopes to have enough attention from students then to be able to host a weekend tournament where non-member teams can sign up and play for prizes.

Next year the club may be ready to play against other college teams.

“We hope that with regular scrimmages and tournaments we will form a Quidditch team that will be a force to be reckoned with against other colleges,” Haley said

Players can’t fly on their brooms, but must straddle one between their legs and keep one hand on it at all times. In official tournaments the brooms are required to be an equal length and weight to keep play fair.

The club constructed their own goal hoops out of hula hoops, piping and wood.

Each team has three goal hoops that keepers must defend.

>>SUDAN.p1A lege student.

The agreement listed goals to achieve peace within the country and also promised a referendum to happen six years later in 2011.

Jan. 9 marks what will possibly be the most important day in history for all of Sudan.

On this day, a referendum will take place for the people of the war-torn country to vote for either succession or unity.

Thursday, the South Sudanese Student Association will be holding a referendum

awareness event to promote support and knowledge of the issues taking place in Sudan.

If the South succeeds, they will become a separate, sovereign nation and will be granted the freedom and democracy the people have been waiting for, said Maurice Aduto, junior in animal ecology and presi-

dent of the South Sudanese Student Association.

“It is not about politics,” Aduto said. “It is not about if you support North or the South; it is about if you support freedom and democracy. It is about helping one another.”

The objective of this event is to inform the community of Ames and Iowa State of the referendum and to gain support for Sudan. The club hopes to educate the community about the culture, traditions and importance of Sudan and the Sudanese heritage; also to gain support and awareness

for the referendum.

Aduto is a first-generation college student from South Sudan attending Iowa State.

He came to the Des Moines area in 2006, and plans to go back to Sudan after graduating to fulfill his duty to his native country.

For the many Sudanese, like Aduto, living in America, voting will be available in larger cities such as Omaha and Chicago.

Voting registration was supposed to take place Nov. 15, but was postponed due to technical difficulties.

The issues surrounding Sudan are vast, but one long

lasting issue is the split between Christianity and Islam.

Religion is the main cause of the war, and it dictates the rebel armies, Aduto said.

Another never-ending issue is the unclear border between South and North Sudan.

Regardless the result of the referendum, the hope is to cure these issues and promote a region of peace, following the near 50 years of conflict.

Sudan has received a lot of support and investment from abroad, and it is crucial that Americans are educated on the issue, Aduto said.

back by their education, Aduto said, because ISU students might be the future investors of their country and they need to know what is going on.

“All of the world is watching; this is it,” Aduto said.

Although this event is primarily about education of the referendum, it is also about support for the club. The South Sudanese Student Association hopes to gain more of a presence on campus and create more interest in their group.

It has been exposed to diverse communities and hopes to keep making Iowa State a multicultural community.

Henry Y. Lejukole, keynote speaker of the event, will aim to point out the consequences of the civil unrest in Sudan: large numbers of refugees and displaced peoples.

It is about informing and preparing the Sudanese refugees living in America to be aware of the situations and to make an educated vote for unity or succession, Lejukole said.

For ISU students who are not Sudanese, Lejukole said it is our job to motivate the government to be an informed international audience so we can better articulate the need for Sudan.

“We want our American friends to understand the issues better, because then they will understand our trials better,” Lejukole said.

It is crucial for our community to understand this international issue, because the fate of Sudan will impact the rest of the world, Aduto said.

The South Sudanese Student Association will be hosting another awareness event after Thanksgiving Break to continue promoting their presence on campus, and increase support from the student body.

EGG just starting to hatch

By Lynne Reiter Ames247 Writer It all started as a few friends from Drake University getting together to mess around and create music. After a few additional band members and a win at the Battle of The Bands at Veishea 2010, this egg is just starting to hatch.

Luke Dawson and Sam Mogerman first met in a fateful jazz band class freshmen year, where they combined and started playing music together.

A mutual friend, Ben Chappel, joined soon after and added a guitar to the mix. Yet another addition was then made with Sam’s younger brother, Ben Mogerman — code named Baby Ben — brought his bass skills, and finally, the last in-

Greencards involve fans in CD campaign

By Dylan Boyle Ames247 Writer Nashville bluegrass band The Greencards has found a new way to let fans leave a lasting impression on its next album.

“We were just driving after a show and talking about how great and loyal our fans are and how we can involve them more,” said Kym Warner, mandolin player for the band.

For The Greencards’ next album, the band started the Buy a Brick Campaign, a concept that lets fans place their name on the album’s artwork for a donation of $100 or more. The album art will be a brick wall with names placed on every brick.

Warner said the band really wanted to make an album on its own, and since the music industry has changed so much, artists can find ways to get their music to mass audiences without the

help of major record labels.

The Buy a Brick Campaign is just one of those avenues for The Greencards and a way to really let fans get involved in the band’s music, Warner said.

The Greencards will play at 8 p.m. Friday at the Maintenance Shop. Tickets for the show are $11 for students and $15 for the public with prices increasing $2 the day of the show.

Warner said the band is excited to be back at the M-Shop, a venue it has played several times before.

After the show Friday, The Greencards will hit several other stops before the last show of the tour next week in Austin, Texas. Then, they will head back into the studio to record.

Warner said that while on tour, the band has been trying a few new instrumental songs that might make the album and has been writing new songs even during the last few days.

Des Moines’ Vaudeville Mews will host high-energy band Gold Motel at 6 p.m. on Saturday.

Gold Motel appeared at the Maintenance Shop in the Memorial Union back in September and enjoyed playing on campus.

“It was a fun show,” said Greta Morgan, lead singer and guitarist. “Small towns are

very humble and grateful to see bands come through.”

Gold Motel has been on tour since March promoting its new album, “Summer House,” which was self-released in June, but will make its national debut at the end of the month. Gold Motel is Morgan, of Chicago; bassist Matt Minx; drummer Adam Kaltenhauser; and guitarist Eric Hehr, from the band Hush Sound.

Morgan said that for the new album, she was inspired by spending a year in California writing music, attending concerts and living a care-free life temporarily. Morgan was influenced to write the upbeat pop music because she had saved enough money to not work for a year “Safe in L.A.” was a hit song

by Gold Motel, and Morgan said that after hearing the clean rock and roll first ver-

sion, they “Gold Motel-ified” it.

She said this involves making the song consistent melodically with the rest of the album.

She wanted to make sure the song fit with others as well as from her female perspective.

Gold Motel has played at many large city venues, but enjoys playing in smaller cities and towns like Ames and Des Moines because of the “good energy and enthusiasm,” Morgan said.

>>PALIN.p1B ing content of the show, but I doubt it.

On the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return from ďŹ shing, she pointed out the neighbor to the kids and said, in reference to him looking at them, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s none of his ďŹ&#x201A;ippinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; business. He was stuck inside writing an ugly book.â&#x20AC;? Even with the slightly out-of-context use of the quote by me here, do you really ever want to get children into the remote mindset that books or writing is ugly â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ugly being something I generally interpret to be a bad thing? Hmmm, well, I guess this may be another time Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m noticing something that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be noticed, or that the political content editors let slip.

Moving on, we got to watch Sarah do an interview from her personal little studio. She asked Todd a question, as an example of what she has to answer during interviews. She posed a question about how uncertainty in new taxes may affect him and the number of new guys he might hire fro work, even ending the pointed question with â&#x20AC;&#x153;A-men.â&#x20AC;? Toddâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s response: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Business is about rolling the dice.â&#x20AC;?

Personally, I think that is a pretty good answer.

But Sarah decided to put her own extended thoughts into it. She proceeded to tell the audience in another of her personal camera shots that when Todd says something, even brief, he means something, rather than just â&#x20AC;&#x153;yapping his jaw.â&#x20AC;? If this wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a pointed political choice of question and comment, then Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a monkeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncle. But wait; in a statement put out before the premiere concerning the content of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sarah Palinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alaska,â&#x20AC;? people were informed that this

Editor: Dylan Boyle | ames247 iowastatedaily.com

wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t supposed to be political in nature â&#x20AC;&#x201D; believe that and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a bridge to sell you.

Essentially every statement from Sarah that isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a description of the environment carries a distinct message. Have no doubt, Sarah is a politician to watch, as she has the looks and feel that non-attentive audiences can easily cozy up to and not feel they are being led down the primrose path. The team of writers/advisers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the political ones at any rate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she has working with her are excellent at interlacing everyday speech with prepared commentaries and masking the deeper meaning behind casual fronts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suggestive messaging, rather than subliminal.

Her family is almost too perfect: strong, conďŹ dent male father ďŹ gure; childish, cute young kids; slightly rebellious teenage daughter; family outings abounding; visits with grandparents; family-friendly, folksy language; and, of course, her fairly young, though adult, daughter with a child. This is subtle campaign work that is going to sell and sway people in ways even Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charisma canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

As to production quality of the show, it is pretty good; simple, but pretty good. They really nail the feeling that Alaska has a small-town appeal but with epic adventures waiting for anyone wanting to explore; and 5 million viewers caught this message during the ďŹ rst showing. This show is going to receive good ratings and may become the best campaign ad since the 1964 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daisy girlâ&#x20AC;? advertisement from Lyndon B. Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agency involving the little girl and the camera zooming-in to her eye to reveal an explosion complete with mushroom cloud.

date on a Dime

Black Friday Is there anything more romantic than hunting for cheap gifts with hoards of other dealseekers on Black Friday?

There might be a few things, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as great as saving money with low prices.

Stay away from big box stores Remember back in the late 1990s when that clerk was injured during the Tickle-Me-Elmo craze at a Wal-Mart in Canada? For those not willing to risk serious injury, local shops are likely to have more subdued customers and unique gifts.

Make waiting in lines more pleasant If you and your date are willing to arise early in the morning to wait outside shops, remember hot chocolate. Those lines are long, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably too cold to be waiting outside in line to begin with.

Purchase a gift Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re already at the store, why not get your date something to show how much you care? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Black Friday, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend a lot anyway.

Daily Horoscope : by Nancy Black and Stephanie Clements

Cancer: Focus On Food Today

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday (11/18/10). This year you develop refined creative processes at work. Cultivate visual and symbolic design, and study artistic or verbal techniques to gain skill. By doing so, your imagination expands and your logic improves. This will be useful.

To get the advantage, check the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -- Yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts pay off now in the form of curious opportunities to work with others. Check into the details carefully, before moving forward.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solution:

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Take time for meditation early on. This aligns your thinking with coworkers. What seemed an obstacle yesterday becomes todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glorious opportunity.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 5 -- You have a sense of your own creative potential, and want to get into action. Associates with demands present a challenge. Buy them off with chocolates.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wearing rosecolored glasses. Allow them to enjoy the moment, knowing you can come back to reality later. Who knows what may come of this?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Share an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aha!â&#x20AC;? moment with a trusted companion. You really understand now about beauty and harmony. You both carry that feeling throughout the day.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -Today is a 7 -- Someone you know falls in love head over heels. This has been a long time coming. Keep an appropriate distance as you congratulate them both.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Take time out to balance your checkbook. Good news or bad, at least you know where you stand. Then you can create a workable plan for budgeting wisely.
