With the estimates that global population figures reached 7 billion on Monday, it is no wonder many citizens are concerned over the pace the Earth’s resources are being consumed. “Seven billion people is astonishing ... but we can’t support 7 billion people if we continue to use the world’s resources in the manner we are now,” said Colin Weaver, sophomore in global resource systems and nutritional science. Weaver, who was a Borlaug-Ruan intern to the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences in Beijing, China, through the World Food Prize, believes it is an extremely complicated issue, but simplified it by stating, “As the population continues to grow, we must produce more food on less land with less water, which is a very tough feat.” The main issues associated with the increase in population, Weaver said, are urban sprawl, which in turn “decreases the amount of land otherwise used for the production of food,” food price increases, caused because the population is growing faster than the annual food supply, and shortages on water and energy resources, which has caused water tables across the globe to decrease drastically, leaving less water to grow crops.

RADIO STATION PRESENTS CONCERT
When an apartment fire damaged the rooms of several ISU students last week, they were left wondering where they would be staying until things could be resolved. To several students, the owners of the building that was damaged, First Property Management, seemed to offer some help. Eric Doll, senior in landscape architecture who had to leave his apartment, received a call from the company the night of the fire. “They said they had a hotel lined up for me to stay in,” Doll said. “But then they never called me back. When I went to their office the next day to ask them about it, they told me it was a $48 a night hotel and that it was at my expense.” Doll, who thought that First Property would be covering the cost of his new arrangements, was not at all happy to hear this. Morgan Cacey, who lived in the apartment directly below the one that was most severely damaged, was out of town during the time of the fire. “I didn’t even know there was a fire until my roommate called me about it,” she said. She said she was never contacted by First Property Management about the incident, and when she called them to ask, they claimed that the fire was in a different building. Cacey also said First Property claimed to be putting people up in hotels and that “everything would be fine.” Cacey later received a picture message from her friend of the damage to the outside of their building. She said that First Property never called her again regarding the fire. Both Cacey and Doll have been staying with friends until they can arrange new leases in new apartments. Neither plan to return to First Property Management. “I wasn’t happy with how First Property had handled other things in the past, so this was like the last straw,” Cacey said.
