Is ISU Internet up to par? Minor connectivity issues not signs of serious problems By Michael.Finn @iowastatedaily.com

FRI

In the current age, expecting a quality Internet connection is not without reason or justification. Most classes utilize Blackboard or require a sturdy Internet connection to email professors, coordinate homework assignments with peers or simply to unwind after a long day of classes. With such high demand for a solid Internet connection, small connection problems — both on campus and off campus — can sometimes become magnified. The Carver and Gilman Testing Centers experienced unusual problems with connecting to Blackboard weeks ago, inconveniencing many students. Some residence halls, MapleWillow-Larch and Friley Hall, experience regular blackouts of their Internet connections, however, they are short-lived. Do these isolated incidents of poor Internet connection show that students and Ames residents are not getting the best possible Internet service?

Networks and Connections and team leader for the network engineering group, insists that Iowa State works hard to provide its students and staff with excellent Internet connections. “There are no problems with the Internet,” Lohrbach said. “As far as the stability of our Internet connec-

tion, we’ve been rock solid.” Lohrbach pointed out that any Internet problems that students may be experiencing are most likely caused by an abundance of “rogue access points” or random Wi-Fi routers not associated with the ISU network that may be responsible for occasion-

The Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture is sponsoring the AgArts Film Festival Sunday and Monday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union. Sunday’s film will be the awardwining documentary “The Real Dirt on Farmer John.” The film follows the life of John Peterson, owner of Angelic Organics, one of the largest community supported agriculture operations in the United States. It starts in Peterson’s youth as he inherited the family farm and continues through its transformation into a hippie commune and eventually into the community supported agriculture operation that it is today. Following the film, Peterson will lead discussion. Monday’s film will be “The Train to Nowhere,” which tells the story of a group of undocumented immigrants who were killed after being locked inside a train car to avoid border patrol. The documentary’s co-producer, Coleen Krantz, will lead discussion afterwards.

Unusual majors offer different advantages

Some have fewer than 10 students enrolled per year By Meryl.Onnen @iowastatedaily.com

As the end of the semester approaches, some students, especially freshman and sophomores, wonder if their major is right for them. It is important to pick not only a major you like, but also one that will be able to land a job after college. A lot of students don’t know about all of the majors available at Iowa State, especially

the smaller ones. According to the Registrar’s office, there are some so small they hover in the single digits for enrollment. These are biophysics, women’s studies, and bioinformatics and computational biology. Mark Hargrove, professor in biochemistry and biophysics and molecular biology, was asked why he thinks his field is the smallest major on campus. “[Biophysics] is very similar to biochemistry, but with more physics and math classes,” Hargrove said. “Most people go with biochemis-

The search for the new president of the ISU Foundation has been narrowed down to two candidates. The remaining applicants, Patricia A. Borger, vice chancellor of development and alumni relations at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Borger and Roger Neuhaus, senior vice president for development and university campaigns at the University of Arizona Foundation, are neck and neck for the position. “These two individuals have excellent experience for the position we’re filling,” said Marla Franklin, chair of the ISU Foundation Board of Neuhaus Directors. “President [Steven] Leath and I are extremely pleased with the caliber of the two finalists.” Borger has acted as University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s vice chancellor of development and alumni relations since August 2008. Her responsibilities entail securing priSaftig vate support to benefit the university while vigorously participating in principal gift fund-raising. As a member of the chancellor’s cabinet, Borger helps to advance the finances and mission of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Borger’s previous position was as assistant vice president at the University of Cincinnati Foundation. There, she established and expanded the University of Cincinnati’s corporate partnerships. Neuhaus is a native Iowan who was raised in Dubuque. He has been the senior vice president for development and university campaigns at the University of Arizona Foundation since May 2008. Accountable for all major gift fund-raising and capital campaign planning, Neuhaus manages an organization that includes 39 colleges, institutes, and centers. During his tenure with Arizona, the Foundation reported a record year for fund-raising, ending in June 2012. The candidates are not available for comment until the final decision is made.

try instead, because it’s more for medicine.” The difference is important in deciding which major to choose. “People who are good at math should do biophysics,” Hargrove said. “It’s about 80 percent the same as biochemistry, but you do more computer research in your occupation than actual lab research.” Gloria Jones-Johnson, professor of sociology, is the program director for women’s studies, the second-smallest major on campus. “Women’s studies is more untraditional; it’s not like history or sociology. It doesn’t get as much exposure as other majors,” JonesJohnson said. Although it is a nontraditional major, there are many job opportunities once students graduate, Jones-Johnson said. “Marketing, advertising, business, and governmental and nongovernmental organizations,” Jones-Johnson said. “[Students shouldn’t] be afraid to apply to many jobs; look at the skills it requires instead of the major they ask for ... You will have to know how to sell yourself, but after that, most people will get the job.” She says some perks of majoring in women’s studies are “good teaching and communication skills, many study abroad opportunities, and learning the ability to see with many different perspectives.” Stephen Willson, university professor of mathematics, has a

similar opinion about bioinformatics and computational biology. “It isn’t as popular because students aren’t familiar with it, like math, English, or history. Not many schools offer this major, and not many students know what it’s for,” said Willson. He explains that the major is for “sensory math being more applied with biology, DNA and diseases. It uses high-tech biology to evaluate all this info.” For students that are good at “math, statistics, computer and biology skills, they would like this major,” Willson said. He added, “It is a hard major, and the classes are difficult... [But] in this economy, there is a high demand in the field of technology.”

Typically the issues are very short-lived. We’re doing everything we can to make sure our Internet hubs are up-to-date.” Many students believe that Internet signal on campus is, for the most part, reliable and fast. “The Internet is exceptional,” said Justin Graeve, sophomore in mechanical engineering. “Outdoor WiFi can be a hit or miss, though. On some days it works great; other days it can be spotty. But for the most part, the Internet works fine.” This year’s record-breaking enrollment means that there are more people connected to Iowa State’s network than ever before, with about 10,000 new Internet-capable devices registered on campus this semester. Upgrades to the system were necessary to maintain quality Internet connections. “We make changes every year to upgrade or increase capacity on different things,” Lohrbach said. “Every year we’ve added another set of routers to be able to handle the growing demand, and we’ll probably do the same next year.” Looking into the future, Iowa State seeks to cover the entire campus with strong Wi-Fi signals. “We’re actually going to a 100-gigabyte connection on campus by the end of the spring semester,” Lohrbach said. “We will be one of the first in the United States to have 100-gigabyte connections on campus.”

Campus still in drought recovery

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com

The lack of rain this summer has not gone unnoticed. The 2012 drought has had major effects on crops and campus alike. Dennis Todey, associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering at South Dakota State University, gave a lecture to meteorologists, climatologists, professors and students about the drought Thursday at Agronomy Hall. “We had flags going up last fall,” Todey said. “Less than 25 percent of average precipitation [was received] last fall in South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa,” Todey said. “Going into

spring, temperatures were much higher than normal. We climatologists were very scared.” Abnormally warm weather was welcomed by the average person this spring. However, farmers had reason to be frightened by increased heat. “With increased temperatures, it kicks up crop water use early in the year. You really set your stage for problems early as you go along,” Todey said. “All of the states in the Midwest reported poor or very poor condition crops. It is very rare to have this percentage of poor to very poor conditions.” The temperature lows of March were about 20 degrees above the average high temperatures. Those high sorts of

temperatures create countless complications for crops. Des Moines, in fact, set the record for most days above 80 degrees this summer. Iowa as a state came in second as having the driest summer this year, with Nebraska taking first. In addition to affecting crops, college campuses in Iowa have also suffered from

the lack of regular rainfall. The Live Green! Initiative is taking action in an attempt to help revive Iowa State’s bragging rights as a nationally ranked beautiful campus. “As we all know, we are currently in a situation where we’re well below average as far as precipitation,” said Merry Rankin, director of sustain-

ability. “Our natural vegetation expectations [for rain] has made it challenging for us to maintain sites.” Live Green coordinated with the Government of the Student Body for a creative, yet effective way to get the word out to students as to how they can help restore campus. Eye-catching signs were placed around areas on campus where the vegetation is suffering. Witty slogans were written to cause a chuckle and make a point. “We wanted it to be something educational, but also engaging and having all of campus acting as a team,” Rankin said. The funny phrases were dispersed all through campus,

including Richardson Court, central campus, and in front of Carver, where a noticeable path has been worn to dirt. “Go to class. Call your mom. Use the sidewalks,” one sign said to encourage students to not walk on the grass. Students are encouraged to use sidewalks, but Rankin understands why a walk through the grass is tempting. “Central Campus is such a beautiful area and it’s so fun to go out and enjoy this green space,” Rankin added. “We want to encourage our students to enjoy that green space, but this particular year, because of the drought situation, we are encouraging people to be cognitive of giving the green space a bit of a break.”

Salt Company ministry cleans up after football By Maia.Zewert @iowastatedaily.com As fans leave Jack Trice at the end of each football game, a couple hundred students from The Salt Company enter, armed with garbage bags, gloves and the leaf blowers. The Salt Company, the college ministry of Cornerstone Church, has been keeping Jack Trice clean after home games since 1988, said Troy Nesbitt, Cornerstone’s lead pastor and staff director. Nesbitt served as the director during the first few football games, which the Salt Company cleaned up. “Iowa State was bringing bands to play concerts at the stadium and were looking for a group to clean up afterward,” Nesbitt said. “[The Salt Company] was suggested, and it worked out great.” For the upcoming year, The Salt Company has received a contract to clean up Jack Trice Stadium after football games. This is their 24th year of service. Each game, students meet behind the south end zone scoreboard and divide into teams. One group heads to the suites, one to the bathrooms, while another group cleans the entire seating area by

hand before bringing out the leaf blowers to make sure the stadium is clean before heading out into the parking lots. The students clean up an estimated 11 to 13 tons of trash after each game. Ryan Schneider, sophomore in criminal justice, heard about stadium clean up during one of the first Salt Company services during his freshman year. He signed up but wasn’t sure what to expect. “It was really dirty work,” Schneider said. “But [at] the end of the day it was a lot of fun, not because of the actual act [of picking up trash] but the joy that comes from the service.” Just because the students are cleaning doesn’t mean they don’t have fun. “I was out with a group picking up the parking lot, and we came across this unopened package of Starbursts,” Schneider said. “One of the guys I was with picked it up and started eating them.” Even though clean-up is a dirty job, Schneider gets joy from helping out. “I think the reason a lot of students do [stadium clean-up] is because it’s ultimately a way for us to serve God,” Schneider said. Stan Hayek is a member of The Salt Company staff and team leader of the

The Real Dirt on Farmer John JOHN PETERSON Documentary & Discussion The Real Dirt on Farmer John follows the life of John Peterson, owner and operator of AngelicOrganics, one of the largest Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms in the United States. Peterson took over the traditional family farm as a young man in the late 1960s and turned it into an experiment of art and agriculture. It became a haven for hippies, radicals and artists, and Peterson, an outcast in rural America, fell victim to local rumors, threats and violence. Following a soul-searching journey through Mexico he returned home to transform his land into a thriving farming community. Director Taggart Siegel made the film with footage he shot during twentyfive years of friendship with John Peterson. Using multiple media, from 8 mm home movies to modern video, he captures the life of this maverick Midwestern farmer. John Peterson (Farmer John) will provide introductory remarks and join a discussion immediately following the 80-minute film. Part of the AgArts Film Festival.

stadium clean up efforts. Hayek has some fond memories from clean up of his own. “After we defeated Iowa, Iowa fans just run out of town and leave their tailgating site as it is,” Hayek said. “It’s amazing to see the stuff left behind, from coolers full of food to hubcaps. You name it, chances are we’ve picked it up.” Mike Andresen, director of the university’s athletics facilities and grounds, meets with Hayek before each game. “With night games, they could be cleaning up trash until 1 a.m.,” Andresen said. “Their whole effort is truly remarkable.” Even though he’s no longer team leader, Nesbitt tries to come back and help out at games that might be understaffed, especially games before Thanksgiving break. If extra help is needed, he brings along his wife and children. “It’s kind of become a family event,” Nesbitt said. Hayek elaborated on what keeps Salt Company students signing up to help out. “[The students] don’t make any money from doing this,” Hayek said. “They do it because they love the ministry of The Salt Company, and it’s their way of giving back.”

Train to Nowhere Inside an Immigrant Death Investigation Documentary & Discussion with Filmmaker

Colleen Krantz

In October 2002 the badly decomposed bodies of eleven undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America were found sealed inside a freight car in rural Dennison, Iowa. Train to Nowhere follows the search for the smugglers who locked the group inside the railcar to throw off Border Patrol inspectors. It offers an in-depth look at the investigation and those involved, from two Guatemalan brothers who are sure their missing younger brother will be listed among the dead to a key immigration agent to a man charged in the case. Colleen Krantz worked for a decade as a reporter for daily metro newspapers, including the St. Louis Post Dispatch and Des Moines Register, before turning to freelance journalism. Krantz graduated from Iowa State with a degree in journalism and a minor in political science. Krantz is the author of the book Train to Nowhere: Inside an Immigrant Death Investigation and co-produced the television documentary by the same name. A discussion with Colleen Krantz will immediately follow the 60-min film.

College Republican prompts students to become involved By Rachel.Sinn @iowastatedaily.com In the 2012 College Campaign Debate, College Republican member Khayree Fitten, freshman in political science, provided the majority of the Republican arguments and rebuttals. Fitten is determined to make the most of his adventure at Iowa State by becoming involved with a wide variety of political activities on and off campus. “‘Imperturbable,’ I think, is probably a pretty good word to describe [Fitten],” said Ryan Peterson, senior in political science. Fitten cites his aunt, LaSharon Duckett, as his biggest influence for his political interest. In 2006, during midterm elections, when Fitten was in seventh grade, Duckett asked him to march in a Henry County parade for the Republican Party in support of Jim Nussle’s run to become the governor of Iowa. “At that time, I was obviously pretty naive to the entire political spectrum, but I just knew I wanted to get involved [in politics] from that point on,” Fitten said. Fitten serves as a chairman for the State of Iowa Youth Advisory Council, which provides a means of communication between politically active youth and the governor, general assembly, and state and local policy makers. The council talks to the various government bodies about programs, policies and practices that affect youth and families. “I think politics generally plays a big role in everything that we do even if it’s at the local level; your city councilman making the decision to keep bikes on the sidewalk or on the street plays a heavy role into how you conduct your life,” Fitten said. Fitten organized activities as a volunteer for the McCainPalin campaign during the 2008 election and interned for Iowa Victory, a Republican campaign office, in 2010. Fitten encourages those that hate politics to consider the meaning of political involvement as a fight for the issues. “Hating politics isn’t necessarily about the process itself as it is about the people, and I think that’s not remem-

bered as often as it should be,” Fitten said. “People need to look at the actual impact and think to themselves daily, ‘How is what I do affected by the decisions of others?’” Fitten’s quick, detailed rebuttals in the student debate helped seal the College Republicans’ victory. “In terms of character, he’s a witty kid,” Peterson said. “He’s quick on his feet, and he’s quick with the comebacks.” Peterson and Fitten are both members of the Government of the Student Body. Fitten serves as an InterResidence Hall Association senator. While he chose to vote early, receiving an absentee ballot from his hometown in Mount Pleasant, Fitten wants to make sure everyone is well informed about the candidates before casting their vote. “You have to do personal research, and I think that’s a [voting] issue we face in modern politics. People don’t feel that their vote counts, and so people don’t take as much responsibility as they should when they’re casting their ballots,” Fitten said. “Your vote does matter, and with Iowa being a swing state, it could matter at a very exponentially and vast rate compared to other states.” Being so active in politics at such a young age has prompted many to ask if Fitten if he plans to run for a political office position in the future. “I don’t think there’s been a single interview since I’ve become involved in politics in which I wasn’t asked that question,” Fitten said. “We’ll see what happens. You never know.”

Faculty Senate to refine child safety policies By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State holds more than labs and lecture halls. The campus is also home to many activities involving youth who are not enrolled at the university: children. The ISU Faculty Senate works hard to make sure that these children feel safe and welcome on campus. Earlier this year, former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky was convicted of sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period. Two school officials who stepped down were accused of perjury and failure to report suspected child abuse. This horrifying situation has sparked a number of states to mandate changes in their child abuse reporting policies, including Iowa. “Even before the Penn State incident, we were in process of revising certain policies on campus,” said Paul Tanaka, an attorney working in the areas of university policies and procedures. The ISU Faculty Senate is currently working on a policy that was mandated by the Iowa Legislature requiring employees to report any and all abuse of children. Iowa State already has policies on the books regarding child safety, including Reporting Responsibility and Violence-Free Campus, both stating that any knowledge of child abuse must immediately be reported to the Department of Public Safety. “We’re just making those two policies parallel so that our employees are informed if they see something relating to child abuse, [to] report it,” Tanaka said. Reporting the abuse is only half the issue. The other cluster of policies relates to youth programs. “We’re looking at setting up safety standards [such as] background screening for volunteers and recommending supervisory ratios,” Tanaka adds. Robyn Bredvick, senior in elementary education, heads the ISU chapter of Camp Adventure. Camp Adventure performs many activities across the globe. Bredvick and the organization work hard to ensure the camp attendees are kept safe while on ISU grounds. “Although each site is different, we are all trained in the same way. Whenever introducing a game, we tell the rules of the game, as well as risk management. The students in our organization are very informed and trained,” Bredvick said. Youth programs are being asked to adopt

About the Penn State child sex abuse scandal On June 22, Jerry Sandusky, a retired coach, was found guilty of 45 out of 48 counts of sexual abuse. Sandusky worked as coach in various capacities for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team from 1969 to 1999. It is believed that during at least five years of his career at Penn State, Sandusky sexually assaulted multiple minors. In light of the scandal, the former head coach of the Nittany Lions, Joe Paterno, was fired for failure to properly report the allegations of sexual abuse. Graham Spanier, former president of Penn State, and Tim Curley, former athletic director, stepped down in connection to the cover-up scandal when allegations against Sandusky broke in 2011. It was believed that Curley, Spanier and Paterno were aware of Sandusky’s actions as early as 1998. Sandusky was sentenced Oct. 9, to 30 to 60 years in prison, a sentence equivalent to life in prison as Sandusky is 68 years old.

safety and first aid protocols that make sure a child receives medical attention under any kind of injury or accident. “During training time we cover many different topics as well as train the students on our games, songs, and crafts. The different presentations/trainings/certifications that we go through are aquatic safety, bloodborne pathogens, child abuse training, playground safety. We are all trained in CPR, first aid, and lifeguarding,” Bredvick said. As far as how students can help with this issue, Tanaka said to be aware about these safety issues for children on campus too. “You do have to think about [if] maybe there are some people that are willing to use that program for their own personal reasons that are not related to the benefit of the child,” Tanaka said. “We always have to anticipate that in these days. That’s what the Penn State situation tells us. Safety has to be a much bigger commitment involved with youthrelated programs.” Courtesy photo The ISU Faculty Senate is currently working on a policy mandated by the Iowa Legislature which requires employees to report any child abuse. This will be a combination of two policies that Iowa State already has on the books, Reporting Responsibility and Violence-Free Campus.

Experience

Think about others when on public bus It’s about that time of year for a lesson on CyRide etiquette. It’s getting cold, we’re all getting lazy, and therefore the buses will be blatantly more crowded as the weeks progress. Whether you’re an energetic new freshman or a settledin super senior, we all need a little reminder about the do’s and don’ts when shoved into a CyRide en route to classes. Let’s get one thing straight: not one person wants to be packed into that bus early on a weekday morning. That person next to you who is standing, swaying, squatting or straddling is just as uncomfortable, if not more, than you are. Trust us. So don’t think you’re alone in your silent fuming whilst being uncomfortably shoved next to your neighbor. But there are a things each person can do to make the ride less excruciating for everyone. Rule one: When the bus driver says move back, pick up your feet and move back! People are going to keep shoving themselves into the bus. So you can either be the jerk who causes everyone in the front to feel so suffocated they can’t breathe, or you can take a few steps back to clear some space for everyone. Even if it’s just a few inches, the poor girl with the backpack shoved in her face by the giant guy standing in front of her will be eternally grateful. Rule two: Hold on. The bars and handles that run across the top of the bus are there for a reason, that reason being so you don’t tumble into the laps of those unlucky people around you. It’s not a game; don’t try and see how long you can balance yourself as the driver slams on his or her brakes every two feet. No one wants an awkward lap dance while you bob around trying not to fall on your face. Grab on, grip tight, and hope you don’t hurt anyone in the process. Rule three: This is a public transportation system, not a private therapy session. No one wants to hear about your relationship troubles, the drunken weekend you can’t remember or how your grandma is doing after her gallbladder surgery. Converse quietly with the people next to you. The only thing worse than overhearing very personal conversations is being forced to listen to them as they are being yelled halfway across the bus. We could go on for ages about how much riding a bus with 75 other people is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved, but the truth is there’s no avoiding it unless you choose to brave the harsh Iowa winter and trudge your way to class on your feet. So if you take the bus, keep these three simple rules in mind for the benefit of all students respectively. Oh, and, don’t forget to put on deodorant.

Photo: Megan Wolff/Iowa State Daily Daily columnist Hannah Dankbar traveled to Spain last spring and recommends that every student study abroad during his or her college career. ISU students can take advantage of many study abroad opportunities, ranging from a week in Costa Rico to a semester in Morocco.

Study abroad beneficial Living internationally can provide unique adventures, employment advantages

ast semester I took a ferry to Africa, saw the Pope and lived with a host family who taught me all about Spanish culture. What did you do? Every student should consider studying abroad. It is a great opportunity and you will create memories that you will remember for the rest of your life. If you are nervous about going so far away from home at least look into it. There are a lot of options. There is a program for everybody. You can do a semester in Morocco or a week in Costa Rica. You can take some classes, get an internship or even student teach abroad. Basically whatever you want to experience, there’s a program for that. If money is an issue, don’t be so quick to ignore studying abroad. In some cases tuition is cheaper than Iowa State’s. There are special study abroad scholarships and all of your ISU financial aid can be applied towards your program. There are plenty of resources you can take advantage of to make your situation work. The Study Abroad Office on campus is a great resource. The office is located in the Memorial Union at 3224. You can ask the student workers about their experiences, or there are full time staff members who are more than willing to help you. I studied abroad last spring semester in

By Hannah.Dankbar @iowastatedaily.com Caceres, Spain. It was the best decision I ever made. I did so many things that I don’t know if I will have the chance to do in the future. I got to live with a host family, which for me was the best experience. I didn’t go with any friends so I got to meet 20 other ISU students who became my family for that semester. There is nothing I would change about my experience. Think about it. At what other point in your life will you be able to make traveling and experiencing new things a priority over studying or work? When you study abroad your main focus is experiencing a new culture and doing everything you can in whatever amount of time you chose. That’s the best part. Additionally, you can’t learn this stuff from a book. You never know which country the people who you share a room in a hostel with will be from. You meet so many people; many of them you will never talk to more than once, but you still learn something from them. For example, I was eating breakfast at a hostel in Lisbon, Portugal, and I spent the morning talking to a guy from Australia who worked in England and decided to take a year to travel. You just never know who you will meet or what will happen.

We had plenty of opportunities to travel. I went to 15 different cities across Europe. I learned how to travel efficiently and at a low cost. I learned how to read maps and use a second language outside of the classroom. If you still need some convincing here’s another reason why you should study abroad. Rick Steves, a travel expert, believes that studying abroad is a necessity. He mentions that employers look for people who have studied abroad because they want people who are flexible, comfortable in multicultural situations and even multilingual. Studying abroad is an easy way to develop all of those qualities, and you will have plenty of examples to share during an interview. Steves also discusses that a lot of fear that is in our society today can vanish if people understand each other better. Stereotypes give us an easy way to categorize people and things that we may not understand, but studying abroad can help create positive stereotypes. After you live in a different country and see how different (and similar) daily life can be, you start to understand different people and cultures better. Studying abroad was the best thing I did during my time at Iowa State. Twenty years after I graduate I may not remember every class I took or even some of my friends, but I know I will always remember my time in Caceres. Seriously, take advantage of this opportunity.

Make children Motivated students stay in school have large influence on election’s results until eighteen Truancy is a huge problem today in Iowa and in the United States as well. I think it is very important that we take steps in combating this problem and get children back in schools. The recent modifications to HF275 are making monumental changes to help combat this problem. I think it is so important to move the compulsory attendance age up to 18. I don’t believe 16-year-olds are at the maturity level to make the decision of whether or not they should drop out of school. Moving this age up will not only help the kids themselves, but it will also help our country by hopefully lowering the unemployment rate. As recent research has shown, the poverty rate in the United States is on the rise. By having more people with high school diplomas, it will increase the amount of people with jobs and therefore, decrease poverty. Having more kids who graduate high school will also increase the number

of people who pursue higher education. This will also help the population as well as Iowa. Another important modification to this bill is putting restrictions on driver’s licenses for kids who decide to not attend school. I think making this big modification and threatening to take away something so important is a great way to ensure kids stay in school until they are 18. If kids do not even have a high school diploma, then there is no reason for them to be driving. I think the legislature has finally got it right with the change in this bill. Education is the foundation of our future, and I think putting more emphasis on it will only help our future. I ask you to ensure that these modifications stay in place and to help make education more important within our government.

I recently read an article in the Daily which suggested that students can have an influence in elections. This took me back through the many years I attended political strategy meetings in Ames at which someone would almost always propose that “We get the student vote out,” and several old pros would quash the idea, explaining that students just don’t vote. That is, until Congressman Bill Scherle came to town. He was running against a young fellow, Tom Harkin, whom he had badly defeated in the previous election. Scherle was interviewed by a Daily reporter and said something that infuriated students. I can’t even recall his comment, but it motivated the students and they turned out en masse on Election Day — especially the residents of Pammel Court, the university’s community for married students. In that election, Tom Harkin defeated Bill Scherle 81,146 to 77,687 — a margin of 3,459 — to earn his first seat in Congress. In the student precincts and those West Ames precincts heavily populated by students, Tom Harkin won by 4,578 votes — about 1,000 more than what

he carried Iowa by. When students are motivated, they will vote. And nothing should motivate them more than to defeat Rep. Steve King, an embarrassment to Iowa in Congress, and to elect the highly competent Christie Vilsack. And, with a razor-thin election predicted for Iowa, ISU students and their compadres at other state universities, colleges and community colleges, could very possibly win Iowa for President Barack Obama and perhaps the country. Iowa’s students should: Think about Pell Grants (and note Republican candidate Paul Ryan’s plans for them versus those of Obama). Think about a reasonable and practical plan to repay student loans, such as the one outlined by Obama. Think about job-oriented community college programs, as proposed by Obama. Think about an educationfriendly administration, as practiced by Obama.

Story County needs Romney has better ticket Olson as supervisor

The election is just around the corner and soon the political commercials and mail will go away. But the election will also bring us one step closer to making a positive change for Story County leadership. I encourage you to exercise your right to vote and elect Lauris Olson to the board of supervisors. I have known Olson for more than 10 years through our involvement with Ames Noon Kiwanis. She has been an active member with regular participation in weekly meetings. That is not an easy task for a small-business owner, but it is a testament to her commitment. It is not enough to

have her name on the roster, she is actively involved in club projects. Olson and I served together on the Kiwanis board of directors where she shared her analytical skills. I appreciate that she is willing to look beyond the obvious and contribute to thorough discussions. She is willing to ask the difficult questions in search of the best and most complete solution possible. Her inquisitive journalism skills certainly transfer to other arenas. I admire Olson for her willingness to challenge an incumbent; she has never been one to shy away from a challenge. Her personal experience, coupled with

her willingness to tackle difficult situations, make her a great candidate for our future. Not everyone is cut out for public service, but Olson has the right combination of skills and commitment to get the job done. She will bring a fresh perspective to the board as she represents all Story County residents. Vote for an independent voice. Vote for positive change. Vote for Olson on Tuesday. You’ll be glad you did.

Dear Fellow Cyclones, I have been following this race closely for several months and will admit that it has not been enjoyable. Angry debates, blatant lies, false accusations and media biases have thrown a lot of muck onto what should be a thoughtful political race. I do not intend to rehash any mudslinging or finger pointing; I will leave that to partisan newscasters and outraged bloggers and cut to the chase. Upon graduation, this is the country in which we will be working, living, traveling, raising children, serving in the military and so much more. We have great stake in the success of America. Do we not have common goals for a nation with a thriving economy, ample job opportunities, affordable health care, a strong military and a society that values bringing people up rather than pushing them down? I am surprised

that more of my peers are not clamoring to support the team that is better educated in the national economy, has decades of experience running businesses effectively and is compassionate to our social issues. The Romney-Ryan campaign is America’s ticket to the future we all dream about, and I urge you to consider its platform. Mitt Romney is an upstanding, moral family man and highly successful businessman and governor. His ability to lead America into a strong economic era far surpasses the economic intelligence President Barack Obama and his advisors have shown. The economic crisis and coinciding unemployment are real issues for us students who will be entering the workforce shortly. Romney has based his entire campaign on his ability to fix the economy and is guaranteed to focus on that issue beginning his first

day in office. Paul Ryan does P90x workouts — need I say more? As chairman of the House budget committee, Ryan was able to pass a budget in 2012 — no cakewalk in this bipartisan era. His tireless efforts to rein in spending in his home state of Wisconsin have long been successful, resulting in more affordable and accessible healthcare. In short: Ryan is the man with the plan. Luckily for America, Romney and Ryan are not just well-versed in economics and leadership. They’re focused on family values, moral leadership and integrity. They portray these values everyday. I am confident in Romney and Ryan and their plan to save the American dream.

Editorial board Romney did not get rich by creating jobs should endorse 2012 candidate As a former writer for the Daily and a concerned citizen, it seems like an awfully poor choice of the Daily’s editorial board to refuse to choose a presidential candidate to endorse. While it is a viable option to choose no one over the two major contenders or Gary Johnson or Jill Stein, it is a reckless abandonment of the purpose of having an editorial board: that they will actually hold an opinion worth defending. As of now, it seems that their argument is tantamount to telling ISU students “Don’t vote; there’s no one worth voting for.” In which case, special interest groups are left as the leading authority on telling the masses who to vote for, often with misleading advertisements. While it is a popular opinion in bar conversation to say, “I don’t like either one of those government fat-cat liars,” it is the responsibility of informed members of the press to make hard decisions and pick a presidential candidate. Do you pick the candidate that signed into law the ability to indefinitely detain American citizens without specific cause or the one whose major platform has been a shifting rhetoric of “I love America”? Or a non-viable candidate whose platform is more palatable? It’s a tough choice, but one that needs to be made. Editorial board, grow a pair.

Creating jobs is not how Mitt Romney became rich and continues to grow richer. A common way that private equity funds get high returns is by shipping jobs overseas and denying pensions. For example, in Freeport, Ill., Sensata Technologies Company, which has been highly profitable, is shipping all of its jobs to China by the end of December. Who owns the company? Bain Capital, the company Romney founded and is still invested in. Sensata employees and the mayor of Freeport have asked Romney repeatedly to intervene. He ignores their requests. The next example is much more complicated, so please bear with me. It turns out that the Romneys have made millions off the General Motors bailout that Romney has severely criticized. A hedge fund the Romneys invested in is heavily invested in Delphi, a former subsidiary of GM, which makes essential parts for GM. We, the taxpayers, allowed GM to give Delphi

over $2.8 billion of TARP funds and to forgive $2.5 billion Delphi owed GM. Delphi used the fact that it was a solesource provider to extort this bonanza. After this generosity, Delphi shipped jobs to China, fired every U.S. worker and refused to contribute to the workers’ health insurance or to make good on promised

pensions. We taxpayers picked up the pension tab via the government-funded Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation. On their Financial Disclosure filing, the Romneys provide only the minimum required disclosure, admitting to investing at least $1 million in the hedge fund. Analysts say for every million the Romneys

invested, they’ve made at least $10 million; a great return for them, but really lousy for the Delphi workers who lost their jobs, and us, the taxpayers, who paid rich investors to get even richer.

ISU defense restructures Cyclones prepare to face Oklahoma without Jake Knott By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com For the first time since the 2009 Insight Bowl, Iowa State’s defense will be without Jake Knott starting at linebacker when it plays Oklahoma on Saturday. Fortunately for Cyclone fans, ISU coach Paul Rhoads has emphasized to his squad not to panic. Instead, Rhoads has preached team defense as he’s done throughout his career, even when he was a defensive coordinator. “The thing I learned a long time ago when I became a coordinator was that you can’t panic,” Rhoads said. “You try to move three and four guys around and you’re asking for trouble.

I’m not a believer that you absolutely have to get your best 11 guys out on the field, get the guys out there and play the position and go play team defense.” Two linebackers will take the place of Knott on the defensive side of the ball, rotating between Matt Morton and Jevohn Miller. Morton has seen plenty of time out on the field as a redshirt senior and the special teams leader for the past two seasons. Miller, a true sophomore from Brooklyn, Iowa, saw minimal time on special teams in his only season as a Cyclone. Miller said he’s confident he has the ability to fill that void in the middle of the defense. “I’m excited,” Miller said. “I’m just ready for the opportunity and I’m not nervous at all just because I’ve gotten the reps, just not in the game situations. I know I’m going to be ready.” Playing behind A.J. Klein and Knott in the depth chart leaves big

shoes to fill for Miller, but he said that both have taught him every day in practice. Knott even reiterated to Miller that he’d be coaching him from the sidelines. “I learn something from them every time I step on the field with them,” Miller said. “[Knott] told me when he got hurt, he’d be out there coaching me and he’s a team player obviously. So when he gets back on the practice field, he’s just going to be a coach out there and try to help us win each week.” The ISU defense will have its hands full when Oklahoma’s highoctane offense comes to Ames. The Sooners average 474 yards per game, good for 20th in the nation. Oklahoma comes to Jack Trice Stadium with only two losses on the season, both to top-five teams.

ith the rollercoaster season the ISU volleyball team has had thus far, few elements have stayed consistent. One that has stayed consistent is the depth the Cyclones possess at every spot on the floor, and this versatility has helped them remain in the nation’s top 25 all season. “What’s really great about this team this year is we have major, significant substitutions we can make in every position,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. “That’s a nice position to be in.” The majority of the depth has come from the freshman players. Considering this year’s class was ranked No. 6 in the country, the expectations were higher than normal. Freshman setter and outside hitter Andie Malloy came to Iowa State as a member of ESPN HS’s 2011 AllAmerican team and one of the top recruits in the country. The Texas native could have found a starting spot just about anywhere but chose Iowa State and has played an influential role off the bench. “To have someone like Andie Malloy, who can come off the bench and really do a great job, that’s key for us,” Johnson-Lynch said. Malloy has played in just more than half of the team’s sets thus far. Whether it’s been coming up with six kills on the road against TCU or coming in for Rachel Hockaday to take a break, Malloy has made an impact with the Cyclones and isn’t even an everyday player yet. Another reserve the Cyclones have utilized this season is redshirt freshman Tory Knuth. The Johnston, Iowa, native has provided much-needed help throughout the season when her teammates have had rough matches and averages more than 1.6 kills per set. Knuth has seen action in half of the matches this season and while she doesn’t have the opportunity to take a large amount of swings, the swings she does take usually prove successful. Her .273 hitting percentage is fourthbest on the squad. And then there’s Caitlin Nolan. Malloy’s Texan counterpart came in this season as a libero at heart, but with

Hoiberg, Cyclones seek identity in exhibition

“But we’re working on it, we’re stressing it to them and we’re trying to get there. I don’t know if it will be there 100 percent early on in the season,

but if we want to be a good transition team, we’ve got to get better.” Hoiberg discussed the possibility of a learning curve early on in the year.

Last year the Cyclones lost to the likes of Drake and Northern Iowa early on while trying to find their identity, but clicked eventually.

Hoiberg did say, however, that he felt this team is further along in that process than last year’s, citing the fact that they have a true point guard and defined positions at wing and post. Last year, Hoiberg continued, they tinkered with lineups until it all came together. The lineup that will be starting the game, Hoiberg said they’ll decide in the next few days of practice before the game. Regardless of the starting lineup, the team is excited to finally play against someone beside each other. Lucious, who’s played against his teammates for the last year and a half, even called it boring at times. “Playing against my teammates for the past year and a half and then the freshmen for the summer and couple months, it’s been pretty boring,” Lucious said. “I hate to say it, but it is boring playing against the same people every day.” He and Will Clyburn both have been counting down the days, which they said started at 11 days. “We’re roommates so all we do is sit at home and say ‘ah three days away, five days away, we just keep the countdown going,” Clyburn said. The exhibition game against Minnesota State is at 1 p.m. Sunday at Hilton Coliseum.

“Making that choice in your mind that once you step on that court, it’s time to go,” Hockaday said about coming out with a confident and aggressive mentality. “When you’re out there serving, it’s an aggressive serve and when you’re swinging, it’s an aggressive swing.” Libero Kristen Hahn believes that avoiding a slow start will require Iowa State to turn its focus internally and attempt to correct any mistakes

it has with itself. “Our passing has improved a lot just since [Texas] Tech even,” Hahn said. “People are a lot more comfortable next to each other. Everyone knows their role and the freshmen are stepping up.” Hahn tallied six digs per set in the win at Texas Tech. Johnson-Lynch said that while the Cyclones struggled with passing leading up to and during the match at Texas Tech, the team has found a

good groove. “It was nowhere to be found and once we found it, we found it now for the past couple weeks and I think that’s allowed us to play at a high level,” Johnson-Lynch said of her team’s passing. “I sense [it] from the team, and I hope they don’t prove me wrong, that they’re getting it.” The ISU players also know how important passing is to the team’s success.

“If we don’t pass well, we don’t play well,” Hockaday said. “We don’t get in system and it’s just harder to run an offense and I think our defense, when we are on, can frustrate teams. Defensive passing is our core and kind of the teams identity. We have some great offensive players too, but it all starts with defensive passing.” Iowa State’s match against Texas Tech will be at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.

By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com The ISU men’s basketball team is learning. After an intrasquad scrimmage and an open scrimmage with Nebraska, ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said a lot. But he wants to see them continue to build off of it. “I thought we took steps in the right direction, I thought we got better as a team, we’ve been better after our scrimmage here this last weekend,” Hoiberg said. “We’ve had a couple very good practices, so now it’s just about getting sharp and trying to get guys to go out there with their first opportunity to play in front of the fans at Hilton Coliseum. “I know our guys are ready for it, they’re sick and tired of beating on each other.” Hoiberg also said the team is trying to figure out its identity. The desire is for them to be a running-style team scoring in transition consistently. Korie Lucious also said they need to improve in transition too, along with spacing the floor well so they don’t clog it up while in transition. “If you want to be a successful running team, you have to be committed to it. Certain days I don’t see it 100 percent of the time,” Hoiberg said.

>>VOLLEYBALL.p8 understand you can’t just go through the motions and think we’re just going to win,” said ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch. In addition to competitive anger, outside hitter Rachel Hockaday has incorporated a more aggressive approach to her game. Last time against Texas Tech, Hockaday recorded a team-high 20 kills and added 11 digs in the win.

>>FOOTBALL.p8 stressed that the Sooners (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) cannot be overlooked. “They’re a very good team and they can’t be overlooked because they’ve had a couple of losses,” McDonough said. “They bring a high-powered offense to the table, they’re fast-paced offense, the tempo is going to be ridiculously fast. With the leadership of Jones back at quarterback, they’re going to bring the heat on Saturday and we’ve got to respond.” Led by quarterback Landry Jones on offense, the Sooners have the ability to

attack from all angles. Jones only has 12 touchdowns on the year, but has thrown for more than 2,000 yards already. “He is to Oklahoma’s offense what [Knott] and [Klein] are to our defense,” Rhoads said of Jones. “He’s been playing it for a long time, he knows it as well as the coaching staff and he goes out and plays like it week to week.” On the ground, the Sooners boast a stable of running backs, four of whom average more than six yards per carry and have scored the ball 21 times. Oklahoma is one of two

teams that Iowa State hasn’t defeated yet in the Rhoads era, along with Kansas State. For a program that is trying to get to the point where it can win consistently rather than rely on upsets, ISU running back Jeff Woody said this is the type of game that is a must-win. “You don’t want to say it’s a red-letter game, but you want this one,” Woody said. “It gives you validity that you can beat a program. We’re trying to build that respect around the nation, we’re trying to build what we’ve got going.” The game against Oklahoma kicks off at 11 a.m. Saturday.

Lynch said. Setter Jenelle Hudson switched her position as well, moving to a back-row role with Alison Landwehr setting the majority of the balls for Iowa State. Both Hudson and Nolan have provided serving help for the Cyclones with Hudson averaging .37 aces per set. Hudson can also handle receiving. Against TCU on the road, Hudson notched 14 digs to tie Hahn for the team leader in the 3-0 rout. Being able to bring players off the bench that are more than capable of starting elsewhere provides a plethora of options for Iowa State. Not

One moment she can be chasing a ball no one thinks she can get, and the next she’s rattling off a string of five or six consecutive points serving. Whatever it may be, Nolan gives the team versatility at the libero position, something Johnson-Lynch said she’s never had. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a year where I’ve felt so confident that we have a great sub in every position,” Johnson-

only does it allow the starters to take a breather every so often, but it also doesn’t make the team live and die off a select few players. If Hockaday or Jamie Straube are having an off night, Knuth or Malloy come off the bench without hesitation. On the other side, if Hahn or Landwehr are unable to play, Nolan and Hudson are available as well. “It’s the strongest bench we’ve ever had, that I can remember,” Johnson-Lynch said.
