One ISU student has more to worry about this winter than just finals and graduation. Breanna Morman, junior in child, adult and family services, will be stepping up to a new challenge when she takes over as the mayor of the city of Dawson, Iowa.

Morman, was elected mayor on Nov. 8, receiving 29 votes out of a total 47 cast.

However, the interesting thing is that Dawson, a town of about 130 people, is well accustomed to the governing of the Morman family.

“My grandpa was mayor for 10 years straight as well as mayor back in the ‘80s,” said Morman. “Two years ago, my grandpa retired from being mayor, and my cousin Colton ran and won the mayor position as a senior in high school. ...

It was all over the media.”

Colton Morman, a student at Drake University, has since been completing the duties of being mayor all the while balancing his course load at college.

However, as one might assume, the combined workloads have taken a toll, and this year he decided to open up the mayor spot to Breanna.

“Initially I wanted to be on city council but my grandpa approached me and asked me how I felt about running for mayor,” Breanna said. “After some thought, I decided to run.”

Despite having initial setbacks about the potential workload, Breanna came to the conclusion that she could balance both school and the mayor’s responsibilities with simple determination, something that students find very admirable.

“Being in school is manageable, but it is a lot of time management especially when you’re involved in extracurricular activities,” said Manali Patel, sophomore in chemistry.

Patel pointed out that the pressures of adding the responsibility of running a city would be very challenging for a college student.

ISU College Republicans kicked off their annual Support Our Troops Care Package Drive at the Memorial Union, Monday, to gather donations for care packages to send to who troops overseas for the holidays.

“As republicans we believe in charity and a lot of republicans like to help out,” said Jeremy Freeman, of the College Republicans.

“I’ve had friends that have been deployed and they really appreciate getting stuff in the mail.”

They are seeking donations of anything from canned goods, trail mix, candy (no chocolate), powdered drink mix, socks,

stocking caps, foot powder, gel shaving cream, shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, lip balm, wet wipes and puzzle books.

The event is part of a yearly initiative that brings together College Republicans from all over the state who pack their cars with boxes and drive down to Iowa Republican Headquarters to consolidate their donations and assemble the packages for the troops.

Last year Iowa State College Republicans gathered over $500 and are looking to raise more this year.

Anne Hathaway is one step closer to getting hitched. CNN confirms that the actress is engaged to boyfriend Adam Shulman.

Hathaway, 29, and Shulman, 30, have been dating since 2008, People magazine reports.

Hathaway’s rep tells CNN that actor/jewelry designer Shulman popped the question with a ring he designed in collaboration with Kwiat Heritage Jewels.

Hathaway, who was reportedly spotted wearing her new sparkler in a park on Sunday, has previously gushed about her romance with Shulman.

“Yes, I’m very much in love with him,” she told Marie Claire U.K. “Adam totally ruined my plan.

Tobey Maguire settles poker lawsuit Tobey Maguire has settled a lawsuit that sought repayment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. The “Spider-Man” actor allegedly won in secret highstakes poker games at Beverly Hills luxury hotels, according to court documents filed last week.

A series of federal suits, including the one against Maguire, said the poker winnings were paid with funds stolen from investors who had been lured into an illegal Ponzi scheme.

Maguire agreed to pay $80,000 to the estate of Bradley Ruderman, 48, who is serving a 10-year federal prison sentence for tax, wire and investor advice fraud convictions. The judge will hold a hearing on Dec. 21 to decide if he will approve the Maguire settlement.

>>MORMAN.p1 ing job to begin with, and adding the responsibility of being a mayor would be extra difficult,” Patel said. “However, it poses a great opportunity to step up and take leadership position in the community.”

One relief for Breanna Morman during the process of running for mayor was that money-driven Super PACs, vigorous campaigning, mudslinging and massive political rallies are completely absent from the realm of small town politics.

Instead, in towns like Dawson, the communities are close enough where everyone knows their candidate personally and the buffer zone between politicians and their constituents is non-existent.

“Most people in town knew who I was, so there was not a large amount campaigning,” Breanna said. “We are a real small town, everybody knows each other, and the majority of the residents have lived there their entire lives. And now we

are just starting to get younger families to move in.”

Breanna seemed very optimistic about the future of the city which currently has a post office, an elevator, and, most recently, a park with a bike trail.

“I am very excited about the park and a bike trail we now have running through Dawson,” said Morman. “This will bring more traffic and attention to the town. ... We are fighting to keep the struggling post office in Dawson, so we are constantly sending letters to the governor and state legislature.”

The young mayor also stressed the fact that she plans to be very open to the input of older, more experienced city council members while also giving her own opinions.

Breanna pointed out that it is a sigh of relief to know that her grandpa will still hold a position on the city council and will help her with any initial problems that may arise during her term as mayor.

“I have a lot of support from everyone in the community,

and moral obligations included the slowing or stopping of agricultural expansion into natural and unmanaged habitats, closing the yield-gap of crops and cropping systems as a land-saving measure and promoting a biological and ecological-social approach to help close the diet-gap.

All of which would help to “bridge the gap between ecosystem ecology and industrial agriculture,” Jaradat said.

By bridging this gap, he said, “We can help the developing world help themselves.”

Jaradat is one of three candidates being interviewed for the position of director of the center.

Jaradat conducts and manages research on conventional and organic production agriculture, with an emphasis on modeling yield variation of crops under various management practices.

Before his job in Morris, Minn., Jaradat led the plant genetics program at the International Center for Biosaline Agriculture in the United Arab Emirates and has held several research and teaching positions throughout Jordan.

people who taught me Sunday school,” Breanna said. “The biggest issue is to have your own voice on the city council and not let other people dominate the conversation.”

So what about future political aspirations for Breanna Morman? A resume that includes being a mayor at such a young age can be very appealing to voters who may see it as a sign of maturity, competence and youthful energy, qualities that helped swing people like John F. Kennedy into the presidency.

“This will probably be the extent of my political career,” Breanna said, with a small laugh. “I am almost done with college now, and I need to get on my feet for my career, and politics is not the life for me.

But I do plan to stay involved in the community regardless of what happens.”

Morman will be sworn into the mayor’s office in January and will likely split time between school and her new job as mayor, which pays her a $1.50 per day.

“I hope it makes them know that people think about what they’re doing and people still care,” said Emma Rinehart, sophomore in prebusiness. “I’m glad I can be a part of something like this and be able to give back.”

The drive hit home with one student who was taking donations.

Jared Perdue, junior in computer engineering, who is also in ROTC, will be commissioned when he graduates.

“For me it’s another thing I can volunteer in to help out,” Perdue said. “It’s something I can do to help out before I’m commissioned.”

The College Republicans will be in either the west student tables or the space between the bookstore and the c-store of the Memorial Union from 11 to 1 for the rest of the week.

“We get to show the troops we still appreciate what they’re doing for us,” said Reinhart. It can’t be fun to be away from your family for the holidays.”

Editorial

International obligations remain vital It’s common during economic turmoil for countries to look inwardly at their own affairs, rather than continue to play or strive to play a role in international politics. At our beginning, George Washington warned against foreign entanglements, and we heeded his advice for nearly a century, with the exception of the Manifest Destiny, and at times took that advice to the point of isolationism.

Over time, however, that stance changed. After morphing into one country following the Civil War and experiencing huge population growth, an industrial revolution and the discovery of natural resources such as oil and gold, we began to throw our weight around.

We made the Caribbean an American lake with our involvement in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Panama Canal. We annexed Hawaii. We sent warships to Japan to negotiate trade treaties, and we gained control of the Philippines. Then in 1917 we threw in our lot with the Allied Powers in the First World War. Once we paired our industrial and military might with our financial backing, the war quickly ended.

After two decades of isolationism we did it again, and that involvement in places as far-flung as Berlin, Vietnam, Greece and Korea continued until the end of the Cold War and, in many places, even to the present day.

So how did we forget that we have international obligations? Other countries have their own interests, and often they are at odds with ours.

Maybe certain countries, such as Iran and North Korea, should not possess nuclear weapons. Maybe others, such as China, should not peg their currency’s value to ours to give their economy an advantage.

What happens outside the United States affects us. The Republican candidates for president got around to debating foreign policy and national security last week. The debate surrounding our future role on the international stage is an important one to have and remember. If we don’t lead by example and work with other countries, others will. Other countries, potentially hostile to us and to peace, will lead the way.

What will we do about new Egyptian protests over former President Mubarak’s replacement?

What will we do to make sure the Pakistani closure of supply lines into Afghanistan has a minimal impact on our mission there and the safety and effectiveness of our troops? Will we act to address Russian deployment of missiles in Eastern Europe, a deployment that counters one of our own?

Americans are bright. They’re talented. Our solutions should be directed at shaping the whole world we live in, not just our own corner of it.

Education

Photo courtesy of Thinkstock In 1904 the entrance requirements demanded proficiency “in a well balanced liberal background” including geometry, arithmetic, U.S. history, human psycholoy, algebra, orthography, and reading and grammar. Now requirements are slim and not based on the fluid liberal arts.

College education worse?

Entrance requirements since 1904 have eased

I

owa State University of Science and Technology was founded in 1858 under the Morrill Act. The Morrill Act was a bill first proposed in 1857 with the intention of creating colleges to teach practical skills, science, agriculture, and engineering.

Then-Rep. Justin Smith Morrill wrote the bill “on the idea that a higher and broader education should be placed in every state within reach of those who may choose industrial vocations where the wealth of nations is produced.”

Rep. Morrill wanted to open the door to a liberal education and create a place where life may be taught. Charles E. Friley said the Morrill Act brought “into existence a new philosophy of education, national in scope, progressive in outlook, and peculiarly applicable.”

If you spend a few hours in the special collections of Parks Library, you’ll gain a relatively accurate image of the young Iowa State University. In 1904 the entrance requirements demanded proficiency “in a well balanced liberal background” including geometry, arithmetic, United States history, human psychology, algebra, orthography, and reading and grammar.

Specifically, you’d have to know the eight parts of speech, the declension of nouns, analysis of modern prose and possess an understanding of advanced rhetoric. These are basic elements of English which we used to learn in high school. However, many college students today can’t pass these requirements.

If you can’t write an example of an object complement, an attribute complement, a participial phrase or an adverbial clause, you may have been rejected by Iowa State, and there are still more entrance requirements.

After accomplishing those, you’d still have to manage a discussable level of knowledge in rhetoric, including definitions and distinctions of advanced vocabulary. In 1904 you were required to understand periodic sentences, along with knowledge in the history of the Reformation, Middle and Modern ages, and the

By Ryan.Peterson @iowastatedaily.com history of Western Europe.

As a fourth-year student majoring in history, I’m embarrassed with how little history I actually know. Few engineers or agronomists are fortunate enough to benefit from 27 credit hours of historical studies. What does it mean for our liberal education when, as a history major, I haven’t learned the basics about U.S. history?

I am also a student writer, but I couldn’t classify an adjective clause from an object complement. I had to look up elocution and orthography in a dictionary. After four years in writing-intensive majors, I have done more papers than most students, and yet I have no theoretical or practical knowledge of rhetoric.

Despite writing I am still weak in composition and English grammar.

I can’t complete the entrance exam from 1904, and that means that we at Iowa State have a problem.

I may not be as familiar with agriculture or the other departments like I am with my own, but I know that in 1904 the Agriculture College’s mission statement was, “to teach the sciences that underline practical agriculture and sufficient English, Literature, Mathematics, History, and other supplementary studies ... to develop the agriculture students into the intellectual and the educated in any profession.”

I also know that in 1904, first-year students had to take a full year of mathematics, English, history and elocution. Your second year, you had nine classes, which included military science, French or German, advanced rhetoric and history.

The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences’ current mission statement names three points. The first is to “discover and share

science-based knowledge for the development of socially beneficial, economically successful and environmentally sound systems for food and other renewable resources.”

The second is to “engage communities for enhancing the quality of life.” And the third is to “prepare students to become future leaders in agriculture and society.” Within the new statement I don’t see the intellectual development of students. I see some business, agriculture and economics, but I don’t see much general education for the benefit of humanity.

Former ISU President James Hilton said, “Science with practice for service of mankind will be just as relevant, just as worthy for Iowa State in 2005 as it was in 1905.” In order to accomplish this, Earle Ross noted that economics, government and communication were a must, essential in every line of endeavor.

In 2010, the Blue Sky initiative suggested condensing eleven departments, recommending “that all departments and programs be thematically clustered together under new departmental structures.”

The agenda was dropped, but the movement holds a prediction for Iowa State’s future.

If we want to keep pursuing education for the betterment of humanity, we need the humanities and social sciences.

I struggled through the 1904 entrance exam, and I’m not alone. I know many students who can’t name the dates of the American Revolution, the basic patterns along the periodic table or discuss their favorite literature, regardless of their major. Theirs is not a college education.

The Morrill Act was designed to bring liberal education to the citizens of this state. It was critical to create intelligent, well-rounded citizens for society, but as time went on, we developed into a private trade school. We need to protect liberal education and the foundations of the Morrill Act, or we’ll be nothing but well-trained technical idiots.

Give thanks on Thanksgiving T

hanksgiving is over, but hopefully thanksgiving will continue.

My wish for Thanksgiving break was that, instead of weighing in on it myself, it would be enough for my columnists to prod your consciences for overdoing Christmas and forgetting Thanksgiving and spur you into actions that were actually consistent with your annual sentimentalism and charity instead of running the opposite direction to a flood of materialism.

Every year we students leave this campus and Ames for home for up to a week. We do so ostensibly so we can return home, spend time with our families and reflect on how easy we have it here in America or be grateful for the blessings in which we partake.

That week includes one day, a Thursday, when everyone else in the country is (supposed to be) doing the same thing.

We cook enormous fattened birds for hours, bring out the cranberry sauce, mash pounds of potatoes, and bake casseroles and cook stuffing and, in my family’s case, try a bottle of just about every kind of wine we can find. And that’s the tip of the iceberg, as far as the list of Thanksgiving food goes. Each

By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com family has its own traditions and preferences. Each remakes the holiday in its own fashion.

Maybe that’s where we went wrong: Making thanksgiving (yes, that lower-case “t” is intentional) a holiday. Holidays, as you may know, are specially appointed days with their own special significance.

Giving thanks is important.

Yet we have forgotten entirely that part of the day. For us, it is an opportunity to gorge ourselves on good food and wake up early in the morning to seek out the best deal.

We’re doing it wrong. Where is the sense in devoting a whole day to quaint family get-togethers if we’re just going to use it to prepare ourselves for a day of hectic midnight shopping? What’s the point in deluding ourselves one day that we are good, grateful people if we intend, that very day, on going out the next morning and rushing, pushing, shoving and swearing at

each other all so we can save a few dollars?

Just like clockwork on Black Friday, news headlines appear in force that read something like “Black Friday madness: Shopper pepper sprays crowd to get deal at L.A. Wal-Mart, shootings in S.C.” Just like clockwork, Lexus’ annual commercials featuring luxury cars gifted with bow ties air on TV stations. And predictably, ABC and other networks advertise all the Christmas-themed movies they’ll be showing until Christmas Day. We’re ridiculous. If the Republicans are right and jihadists want to kill us all, it’s no wonder that they do — we’re the most conceited, selfish, materialistic country on earth.

If they’re right about the Socialists and Communists wanting to end the United States and capitalism as we know it, it’s no wonder they do — we have decided that money is more important than living out our ideals in the real world.

And the example this greatbargain chasing sets for children is awful, too. Our cultural inconstancy will kill us. What’s the use of teaching moderation, self-control and hard honest work if we go out the next day, drunk with visions of

how great it would be to keep up with the Joneses and compete in a sometimes physical struggle for the latest toy?

In our relentlessly fast and furious quest for instant gratification, we moved on to Christmas right after Halloween.

Maybe we should just get rid of Thanksgiving. You can’t dress it up like you can with Christmas and make it about wrapping up the latest gadgets, putting bows on them, and wildly opening them on the appointed day. You can’t dress up on it like Halloween, where everyone who participates tries to find the most flattering, obnoxious or revealing costume to wear.

We have forgotten Thanksgiving — and it really is the last holiday whose meaning we have forgotten — hook, line and sinker. We kick off a month of Christmas the very next day (or at Toys R Us and Wal-Mart that same night). At least with Thanksgiving maybe we’ll stop pretending to celebrate the day instead of losing the message and keeping the farce.

Gingrich: Making the illegals into legals Candidate plays to crowds in order better his ticket

N

ewt Gingrich said at the Republican debate on foreign policy in Washington, D.C., “I’m prepared to take the heat to say let’s be humane in enforcing the law without giving [illegal immigrants] citizenship, but by finding a way to create legality so that they are not separated from their families.”

Michele Bachmann fired back a couple of days later that Gingrich is the most liberal of the 2012 field of GOP presidential candidates.

Newt is denying that he favors “amnesty” for illegals. He said it’s just an effort to make legal the status of illegal folks who have been in the United States for 25 years and so forth.

That’s going to make it mighty hard for Iowa’s GOP presidential “screeners” Bob Vander Plaats, Rep. Steve King and others to endorse Newt.

Although illegal immigration and border security have been less visible than jobs and gay marriage they are nonetheless part of the litmus test candidates must pass in the Republican presidential marathon in the Hawkeye State.

What’s up with Newt?!

I’ve figured out what Gingrich is doing.

He is playing a fake to the center in order to influence independents and moderate Republicans. In the next poll he hopes that he, not Mitt Romney, will be “the candidate most likely to beat Barak

Obama.” The independents are less hard-core on deportation of illegal immigrants than GOP faithful. That may then change the dynamic in other states including New Hampshire. If Newt comes in second there and does win in South Carolina and Texas, the “Macro” game will change and Romney would look much less attractive as the go-to guy to beat Obama.

The “Mitt Romney factor” is still hovering like a bad anvil cloud over the event. Potential for storms and tornadoes in that one for sure.

What’s puzzling to me is that as Romney continues his painful slog, the GOP base seems to be doing everything except swing in his direction.

An old hand at New Hampshire politics told me in Manchester a couple of days ago that when Mitt nails the Granite State primary “the rest of the pack will fall in line, even the Tea Partiers, you mark my word.”

There was not much of a sign in the parts of New Hampshire I scrutinized of the other candidates except some road-side intersection yard signs for Ron Paul, Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.

I assume that most Republicans will vote for the party nominee, except that important, probably crucial, slice of Americans of any party persuasion who really do find the Mormon religion unacceptable.

When the Pew Center

asked Americans about Islam and Mormonism, the results were interesting. Asked if the Mormon religion is different from their own, 62 percent of Americans said it was, and 70 percent said the same about Islam. When asked if they have a favorable opinion of Mormonism, 53 percent said favorable and 27 percent said unfavorable. Asked to name one word that expressed an unfavorable opinion of Mormonism, “cult,” “bigamy” and “polygamy” were the three most common ones. The positive terms mentioned were “family” or “family values,” “devout,” “good” and “faith.”

Among white evangelicals who attend services at least weekly, 52 percent believe that the Mormon religion is not Christian. This could be an important factor in the Iowa caucuses and among faithbased Republicans throughout the United States.

Michael Gerson, citing a recent Gallup Poll, wrote in the Washington Post (Who’s afraid of Mitt Romney’s Mormonism?), “20 percent of Republicans and 23 percent of Protestants tell Gallup they would not support a Mormon for president.

A portion of conservative Christianity is unhinged in its condemnation, regarding Mormonism as a dangerous, secretive cult. Even without recourse to calumny, it is clear that evangelicals will not be reconciled to Mormon doctrines without ceasing to be evangelicals.”

So, Newt Gingrich has pulled up or ahead of the others in Iowa. Mitt Romney is still No. 2, steady in the polls at

20-some percent, and pushing hard to mobilize his organization in Iowa. Newt hopes to leap ahead nationally as the most likely to beat Obama.

Romney has a significant percentage deficit among churchgoing, conservative, Christian Republicans even though he’s still the most likely to beat the

incumbent president.

Clearly the Iowa caucus night and the New Hampshire primary promise to be nailbiters this year.

Standards

Faculty should practice what they preach Students will copy their leaders’ habits if professors show dedication

A

t Iowa State, we are bombarded every day by new information. We are expected to learn as much as we can from it. But inevitably, some things slip through the cracks.

Think back. What are some of the most memorable things you’ve learned?

If you’re like me, whatever you learned, you learned it from a professor who embraced what they taught and treated it as though it was some of the most important information they’ve ever recited. However, it isn’t just what they say. It’s what they do.

I’ve got a classic example of what not to do. I’m experiencing it now, in a freshman-level natural sciences course. It satisfies a graduation requirement and happens to be on renewable resources. The book we use is Natural Resource Conservation.

And for the majority of classes, in this several-hundred student lecture, handouts are issued. Multiple handouts on some days.

Doesn’t that strike you as weird? A class about conserving what we have in the environment, where we have covered depressing subjects including natural habitat loss and overcon-

generally discouraged the printing of handouts and the syllabus, I’ve been in a few classes that have disregarded those edicts.

The other harmful side effect, particularly in a class about the environment, is that it discounts what we are learning. Nothing against the professors, I like them both. They both, from what I know of them, do deeply care about the environment and are extremely knowledgeable. It also can be frustrating to teach a freshman lecture course. It may be the case that without the handouts, the students wouldn’t read them at all. But, some level of responsibility is required, and if the students don’t read, it’s their own fault.

It simply makes it difficult to take what they are teaching at face value. If resources are reaching critical levels, and these professors intimately know it, why don’t they show it? Showing personal care toward whatever is being taught, in my experience, is the best way to make students interested and enthusiastic in something they otherwise may not be.

If all professors made an effort to make this one simple show of dedication toward their subject, then students will reciprocate.

sumption of materials, uses thousands of sheets of paper each semester. If that isn’t irony, I don’t know what is.

Now, I’m aware that paper is a “renewable” resource. Trees eventually grow back; that’s true. But other than the destruction of the trees, gasoline is used to power machinery to cut and transport the logs and electricity is used to process it into paper.

Even if it is printed on recycled paper, producing recycled paper is energy consuming as well.

This is the 21st century. The internet has made all sorts of information available instantly, including that which your professor wishes you to see. There is a WebCT page (yes, this is one of the few classes that has not transferred to Blackboard yet, as well), which is perfect for this sort of thing.

If students wanted to print it from there, they still could.

Laptops, tablets and smartphones are everywhere in this class, allowing instant access. This would be more efficient and energy saving and likely preferable to many students. I typically refrain from grabbing a paper, but even when I do, it ends up as a crushed ball in the bottom of my backpack by the end of the day. Even if I recycled it, it still used up many more resources to produce the handout and recycle it than would be necessary.

LUSH LIP EXFOLIANT

Photo courtesy of Sweet Lips

By Elizabeth Hanson ISD Style Writer

I was introduced to Lush Cosmetics while walking through SoHo with a friend this summer. She insisted that I stop in to check out their lip exfoliant. I kind of giggled to myself because I thought “how silly” — exfoliant for your lips? Who had a cosmetic routine that was this highmaintenance that you needed to exfoliate your lips? Then I tried it, and like many things, I was sold.

While using this scrub I have noticed a drastic difference in dry lips. Whenever I feel that my lips are peeling, I exfoliate them with the lush product then apply with a lip balm. Somehow I feel that my lips absorb any product better after using this scrub. Lush lip scrub will keep your lips smooth all year long, making the application of lipstick smooth and easy. If you suffer from dry lips, especially during the winter months, I suggest you try Lush Cosmetics Lip Scrub. You can find the product for $8.95 online at lushusa. com. They also have stores in Minnesota, Kansas and Illinois.

STEPS

to false lashes

By Cicely Gordon ISD Style Writer

There is no better way to spice up a sexy holiday eye than by adding false eyelashes. However, they are not always the easiest to apply yourself. With these five easy steps you will be batting your lengthened lashes in no time.

What you need:

1 pair of false eyelashes: Remember you get what you pay for. Generally the less expensive lashes have a more visible track that is harder to manipulate and shape to your natural lash line. (MAC Cosmetics $13.00 7’s will give you a natural piecey lash, 3s are more glamorous giving a Kim Kardashian lash look) Eyelash adhesive: Try to find an adhesive that is liquid latex. It is flexible so your lashes do not feel so stuck together, and it peels off like rubber cement without irritating the skin or pulling out your eyelashes. (Duo $6.49, Sally Beauty Supply) A handheld mirror Something small enough to apply the glue along the eyelash track, such as a toothpick or the end of a bobby pin works well.

1. Put on eye makeup before applying the lashes. Be sure to use eye liner on your upper lid bur do not apply mascara.

2. Remove your pair of lashes from the container and place them somewhere they are easily accessed. I like to place mine on the side of a table or on the edge of my hand mirror. Make sure to remove any adhesive that held the lashes in their packaging. Position your mirror on your lap or on a table so that your can look down to it. This makes it a lot easier to apply the false eyelash track to the area right above your natural lash line without getting your real lashes messy with glue.

3. Put a drop of glue on the end of your bobby pin or toothpick. Pick up one of your lashes and evenly distribute the glue along the track of your eyelash. Blow on the lash for a few seconds to allow the glue to become tacky. This will give you more control when you are putting it on.

4. Look down to the mirror and stick the glue coated track right above your natural lash line. They look more natural when they are closer to your natural lashes. It helps to put them on lightly and then push them down closer to your natural lashes.

5. After the glue has dried cover the track with the same color eye liner you used when applying your eye makeup.

Coat the top and bottom sides of your lashes to blend the false lashes with your natural ones.

ANGELS

take flight

By Chandler Nisenson ISD Style Writer

It is one of the most talked about shows on television, and it is almost here. The 2011 Victoria’s Secret Runway Fashion Show is said to be one of the best shows yet. With five different runway segments — ballet, super angels, passion, aquatic angels and just pink — the runway show is expected to bring the Victoria’s Secret Angels to a whole new level.

The runway looks will include over the top lingerie with embellished Swarovski elements, the iconic angel wings and the $2.5 million Fantasy Treasure Bra worn by supermodel Miranda Kerr.

Not only will there be the runway walks, but also many artists will be per-

forming as well. Performers such as Maroon 5, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj are all said to be bringing their best to the show.

This year, for the first time, viewers can even see the live pre-show coverage of the fashion show on the Victoria’s Secret website or on CBS.com.

Everyone can now see exclusive preshow coverage an hour before the air time. Can you say “sneak peek”?

Along with the models, artists and pre-show coverage, this year’s show will feature a slightly different set than typical shows.

There is expected to be much more glitter, a wider variety of dancers, a longer runway and over the top runway looks.

To see the fabulous show, tune in Nov. 29 at 9 p.m. on CBS. Who knows what crazy new surprises it may bring.

CYCLONES RETURN FROM THE ROAD iowastatedaily.com/sports

Volleyball:

Cyclones earn Big 12 honors Dean Berhow-Goll Daily staff writer Sophomore Kristen Hahn earned Big 12 Libero of the Year honors, marking the fourth consecutive year that a Cyclones has garnished the honor. Three other Cyclones were named to the AllBig 12 team.

Hahn led the Big 12 in digs per set the entire year with 5.54 digs per set and was Big 12 Defensive Player of the week four times.

Hahn was the only libero in the Big 12 to record a 35-dig match which came against North Dakota State on Sept. 10.

She posted 24 double-digit matches including 13 twenty-dig matches, which ties her for most in school history with Ashley Mass.

Senior Carly Jenson earned her first Big 12 honors as a unanimous selection, posting 4.04 kills per set in Big 12 play which was good for third in the conference.

Jenson was the only Cyclone to play an entire rotation managing 3.28 digs per set which helped her earn 15 double-doubles on the year. She finished the regular season with four-straight double-doubles.

Junior Alison Landwehr landed First Team Big 12 honors leading the Big 12 in assists per set with 11.37 and 11.77 in Big 12 play.

Landwehr had 64 assists against Oklahoma on Nov. 2, which was the second-highest total in the Big 12. She also helped out on the defensive end managing 2.52 digs per set which was good for fourth on the team.

Junior Jamie Straube earned her second-straight First Team Big 12 selection. This is also the second-straight season where Straube has led the Cyclones in hitting, attacking on a .344 clip in Big 12 matches which ranked her fifth overall.

Straube also was a force on the serving end. She led the Big 12 with 0.39 aces per set in conference play. Straube was the only Big 12 player with four aces in two conference matches.

She also demonstrated her value on the defensive end at the net.

Straube led the Cyclones in solo blocks with 10 and was second on the team in block assists with 77.

Basketball:

Moody Big 12 Freshman of the Week Dean Berhow-Goll Daily staff writer Freshman point guard Nikki Moody was selected as the Big 12 Freshman of the Week by a media voting panel.

Moody was selected for her performance at the Nugget Classic splitting games against Penn State and Butler.

She averaged 11.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game over that stretch.

Moody had a particularly good game against Butler. The ESPN Top 100 recruit was able to connect on five of seven 3-point shots finishing the night with 15 points.

In her first game against a ranked opponent in No. 16 Penn State, Moody managed seven points and four rebounds.

Sports Jargon:

Libero SPORT: Volleyball DEFINITION: The libero is a defensive specialist on a volleyball team. He or she plays back row only, can sub in or out at any time and handles most of the opposing attacks.

D-line, Woody improve their game

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com At the beginning of the season, the ISU defensive line was characterized as the weakest unit on the defense by coach Paul Rhoads.

Almost four months later, the defensive line played a major role in making things uncomfortable for OU quarterback Landry Jones in the Cyclones’ (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) 26-6 loss to Oklahoma on Saturday in Norman, Okla.

“Even without sacks Saturday, we hit [Jones], we flushed him, we made him move and because of that, he was uncharacteristically inaccurate with some of his throws,” Rhoads said at his weekly news conference on Monday. “That relentless effort they’re all putting forth is allowing our defense to play better.”

The mentality of relentlessness had been adopted by the unit well before the team’s bout with the Sooners (9-2, 6-2) last Saturday.

“You try to play with as much energy as possible, that’s certainly a focus throughout the week,” said defensive end Patrick Neal. “The coaches always tell us to break on the ball through every pass, and I think that kind of adds to that mental side of playing relentless.”

Jones was held to a 91.9 passer rating — his lowest of the season — after failing to pass for a touchdown and throwing two interceptions that resulted from the line’s pressure.

The defensive line was also instrumental in pressuring Brandon

Weeden in the Cyclones’ 37-31 double-overtime victory against Oklahoma State on Nov. 18.

Weeden threw Ruempolhamer three interceptions — which tied for his season-high — as a result of the line’s pressure as well.

“We weren’t able to get [Weeden and Jones] to the ground, but we Neal were able to get them off their point,” Neal said. “We made them move their feet, which in turn gets them out of their rhythm, which I feel is just as important as a sack.”

The defense, as a whole, has managed to hold opposing offenses to three points or less in 14 quarters — nine scoreless — through the last five games with the relentless mentality of the defensive line playing a big role.

“It’s the d-line’s job to stop the run and rush the passer,” said nose tackle Stephen Ruempolhamer. “As a unit, we finally started to understand [that] we do have the ability to stop the run, we do have the ability to rush the passer, and we do have the ability to change games. I think we take it personal that way.”

Rhoads said the defensive line’s success has also stemmed from the depth that his team has at those positions, managing to go as much as

10-deep to keep players fresh and energized during games.

“At the same time it takes reps, but it gives energy so it’s a give and take,” Ruempolhamer said.

“When the backers are able to hold their own and when we’re able to regain our energy and play hard the whole game, it pays off.”

Woody’s play ‘elevated’ From short-yardage role player to a staple at the running back rotation, Jeff Woody has met his transition this season without missing a step.

The redshirt sophomore has averaged 40.7 rushing yards in six games — a streak that started with a then-season-high 31 rushing yards off five carries.

“Without a doubt his game has been elevated,” Rhoads said of Woody. “The fact that Shontrelle [Johnson] is done, we have one less back. But I think Jeff has elevated his game the second half of the season.”

Quarterback Jared Barnett said Monday that Woody has been running the ball a lot harder than he has in the past, but that is not the only aspect that has improved his game.

“He’s been in the film room a lot, learning the offense,” Barnett said.

“Normally, I’m the only person on the field who knows all the calls, all the signals, what everybody’s doing.

But now Jeff is becoming that guy, he also knows everything.

After loss, ISU stays lively

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com It had been 35 days since the ISU football team had suffered a loss when they traveled to Norman, Okla., on Saturday.

After a 26-6 loss to the Sooners, ISU coach Paul Rhoads compared the mindset of his team to that of the team that had just lost three straight before rattling off three straight conference wins.

“A little over a month

ago we came out of the Texas A&M loss having played Rhoads better and gaining confidence because of that, we exit the Oklahoma loss with no downgrade in that confidence level,” Rhoads said at a press conference on Monday. “I think we have a football team that’s playing our

best football of the year.”

The Cyclones will end their third regular season under Rhoads on Saturday as they’ll travel to Manhattan, Kan., for a matchup with No. 11 Kansas State (9-2, 6-2 in Big 12).

Over the last month, Iowa State’s defense allowed the fewest points (18.5) of any Big 12 team over the last four games.

However, Iowa State’s offensive struggles on Saturday — fewest total

yards (245) and points (6) of the season — thwarted a chance at its first sweep of both Oklahoma schools since 1961.

After rushing for 301 yards in wins over Texas Tech, Kansas and Oklahoma State, the Sooners forced ISU redshirt freshman quarterback Jared Barnett to beat them with his arm by, at times, rushing only two defenders and assigning

Men’s basketball

Defense strong in South Padre

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com Before the ISU men’s basketball team made the trip to South Padre Island, Texas for the South Padre Invitational, much was made of the team’s defensive woes.

Games on the road against Drake and at home against Northern Colorado exposed the Cyclones (51) defensively and left coach Fred Hoiberg wanting much more out of his squad. It appears he got more during the trip.

“We were much better on the defensive end in [South] Padre,” Hoiberg said. “We had a couple great practices leading into that [trip], and it carried over. Our guys, they took pride in [defense] much more in those two games down there.”

Post-South Padre, however, Hoiberg is cautiously optimistic.

While they improved during the two-game stretch, the Cyclones still have only played a handful of games

as a team.

The work, Hoiberg said, is still to be done.

“This group still has a ways to go,” Hoiberg said. “They’ve played six basketball games together, and it takes time. We did take a big step in the right direction this last week, especially on the defensive end.”

The fact that they have work to do is not lost on the players. Senior guard Scott Christopherson said on Monday that he, too, liked what he saw in the games against Providence (a 64-54 win) and Rice (a 90-63 win).

But he has a measured optimism.

“Going down to South Padre, I definitely think we played better defensively and rebounded the ball better, which is probably the area we need to make the most improvement in,” Christopherson said. “I think we saw [in South Padre], if we’re getting stops, how good we can be, but at the same time I don’t think it’s a situation where we should be too satisfied with ourselves. ... We still have a

lot of work to do.”

Along with the improved defensive effort, Iowa State showed a hot streak from beyond the arc in the two games.

From 3-point range, the Cyclones shot 36.7 percent against Providence and 48.3 percent against Rice.

Individually, the Cyclones were led in the two games by guards Chris Allen, Chris Babb and Tyrus McGee.

“Libero U” new name for ISU? What ideas do you think of when you think of Iowa State? Engineering, agriculture, those commercials that say “Enjoy your adventure at Iowa State.” Maybe “Transfer U” with the men’s basketball team. Why not “Libero U”?

It’s something that’s been rising to the top of our list.

The Big 12 recently released its list of players who made the All-Big 12 teams and a list of recipients of awards like the Player of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. They chose sophomore libero Kristen Hahn as the Libero of the Year.

This continues a remarkable streak for Iowa State. This is the fourth consecutive year that a Cyclone has garnished the honor of Big 12 Libero of the Year. The past three seasons, former All-American Ashley Mass received it three years in a row.

A streak like this is pretty hard to come by. When you hear Libero U, you might think of Linebacker U, meaning Penn State.

But although they have dropped off in terms of how good the team is, Penn State used to boast an unstoppable linebacking core. They had the likes of LaVar Arrington who won the Chuck Bednarik award in 1999 and Paul Posluzny who won the award in 2005 and 2006.

In 2007 it was the Nittany Lions’ Dan Connor. So they won it four times in a matter of nine years.

That’s not even close to Iowa State doing it four consecutive years.

Think about this — Kristen Hahn is only a sophomore. If she keeps this kind of pace up, she could win it her junior year and her senior year, that is, if she doesn’t go pro early.

We kid, but it’s only because she is that good. Her career seems to be arcing similarly to Mass’.

Mass led the Big 12 in digs in 2008 and 2009. She amassed an ISUrecord 646 kills in the 2008 season, and over her career averaged 573.5 digs per season, ending her tenure with 2,294 total — also an ISU record.

Through the regular season — her first as the libero for the Cyclones — Hahn totaled 537 digs, good for 5.54 digs per set.

If she was to average that over the next two seasons, she’d end up with 1,611 career digs and land her third all-time behind just Mass and Steph McCannon, both of whom played four years at libero for the Cyclones.

Granted, that depends on many variables — mainly health — but she ended her first season as libero with five more digs than Mass had (532) in her first season as libero.

In terms of honors, Mass earned Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week twice in her first season, while Hahn has earned the award four times in hers.

If Hahn can improve in even a similar way as Mass, she could rival her predecessor for the title of “best ever” at Iowa State.

Since the libero position is a relatively new thing to college volleyball, a little perspective should be exercised. There’s no guarantee Hahn’s success continues or that Iowa State will have others like her or Mass.

But it sure does seem like coach Christy Johnson-Lynch has developed a trend. If she can continue to recruit defensive specialists, Iowa State could easily become “Libero U.”

Rhoads said. “In past years, heck, if we hadn’t seen a player, we wouldn’t have paid any attention to him and wouldn’t have known that.”

However, not everyone shares Rhoads’ opinion.

“I would prefer having a championship game,” Barnett said. “But [the round-robin is] just how the conference is right now. We play everybody and go through the schedule, and I have no problem with that.”

For Neal, a seasoned six-year veteran on the team who has spent most of his college career in the previous format of playing all five Big 12 North opponents and only three Big 12 South teams for eight conference games in a single season, the new format has been a blast.

“I think it’s fun to play everyone in the conference,” Neal said. “That way you get to play all the great, talented teams that this conference has to offer whereas other years, you may miss out on playing Oklahoma and Texas so it’s a great challenge.”

“That’s really good because he can go out and see a route and see what I see in the defense and think, ‘OK, J.B. is about to change this, and he’ll be there right with me step-bystep, and that’s just made him a lot better running back.”

Round-robin schedule comes to a close The Big 12’s 10-team round-robin conference schedule is seeing its inaugural bout come to a close with its final regular season games on Saturday.

Rhoads said he enjoyed seeing how all the teams in the league competed against one another and wished other conferences would do something similar.

“As we come down to voting on players in the league, we have a true knowledge of everybody in this league and how to vote for them,”

in the Big 12 in total defense.

“It’s a different thing seeing it, and now that I’ve had that experience, I know what we can do to make sure that we’re still productive whenever defenses are playing like that,” Barnett said.

With bowl eligibility already under their belt, the Cyclones will try and keep their current level of confidence steady throughout the final month of the season.

“With an opportunity to earn two more victories ... any coach would like their program to be in here at the end of the season,” Rhoads said.

Kickoff for Saturday’s game in Manhattan, Kan., is scheduled for 11:30 a.m.

one or two other players to spy him to prevent him from scrambling on pass plays. “[It was] a great scheme to take his legs out of it on the pass game,” Rhoads said.

“They really made him have to throw the ball out of the pocket if we were going to be successful in the pass game.”

Oklahoma’s defensive scheme keyed Barnett’s first loss as starter as the Garland, Texas, native completed only 13 of 28 passes, threw an interception and was held to only 21 yards on the ground.

Barnett expects to see some similar defensive looks from the Wildcats who rank fifth

>>SOUTH PADRE.p7 Babb was even named Big 12 Rookie of the Week on Monday.

Allen said Monday that another thing that improved in South Padre was the team communication. No one was able to get down on themselves, he said, because teammates were there to help one another. Both he and Hoiberg said McGee is the most vocal in the huddle and on the floor.

“I call him Hustle Man,” Allen said of McGee. “He’s instant energy, no matter what.

He’s guaranteed to knock down two or three treys, he’s going to play defense, he’s going to rebound, he’s going to run, he’s going to talk crap.

“He’s that guy right now.

He’s that spark off the bench.”

Hoiberg said he thought McGee was asserting himself as one of the vocal leaders of the team. He agreed with a question asking if he thought McGee was the perfect sixth man for this team.

“He is [the perfect sixth man],” Hoiberg said. “You want that guy, that first guy coming off your bench — if you’re having a slow night or a slow start — you need that guy to come in and just inject energy and adrenaline into the team, and that’s what Tyrus does.”

With Allen, Babb and McGee showing their offensive skills while forward Royce White was held to small point totals during the trip, Allen said he cannot wait for the day when they all get hot at the same time.

“We’ve got a lot, a lot of weapons on our team,” Allen said. “At any given time any guy on the court could have a mismatch. ... It’s just scary, honestly, because the day that all of us are on the same page, it’s going to be crazy.”
