By David.Bartholomew complicated for the average American to under@iowastatedaily.com Not one to shy away from the spotlight, Minnesota Sen. and Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann hosted a town hall meeting on economic policy Thursday in the South Ballroom of the Memorial Union. After a short introduction by the president of the ISU College Republicans, Bachmann was welcomed to the podium with an applause and began to lay out her discontent with the current economic state of the country and her plan to fix it. Drawing on her experience as a former federal tax attorney, Bachmann said, “The problem is an individual tax code with 3.8 million words that’s too
stand and a corporate tax code that makes America hopelessly uncompetitive at almost 40 percent when you add the federal and state taxes.” Drawing heavily from her perception of the principles of the Founding Fathers, Bachmann stressed the importance of keeping the federal government as small as possible, stopping the overspending and devolving many agencies to state governments. Additionally, Bachmann highlighted her proposed tax plan that she said, despite shying away from specifics, was based off of the tax plan under former President Ronald Reagan. Bachmann then

ISU security warns campus of threats By Daily staff Campus security notified the faculty and staff of the department of animal science via email that several locations on campus have been named as potential threat targets. The locations are the: meat lab, rodeo, Office of Responsible Research and Veterinary College. According to the email, Capt. Carrie Jacobs of ISU Threat Assessment and Management has rated the threat as a five on a scale of one to 10. The email said the threat should not be ignored. In a phone interview, Jacobs said there have been no direct threats toward Iowa State, but faculty and staff should still be on guard because Saturday is the 10th anniversary of animal rights activist Barry Horne’s death.

See talents at Diwali
By Cristobal.Matibag @iowastatedaily.com
Diwali, the Indian festival of lights, may have ended more than a week ago, but the Indian Students’ Association will still try to evoke its spirit Saturday. The association will host its annual Diwali Night — an evening of traditional dance, music and food — from 5:30 to 10 p.m. this Saturday. The format of this year’s program will mimic that of “India’s Got Talent,” a reality show that pits performers against one another in a talent competition. For association members, the event is less a traditional Diwali observance than a chance to celebrate the unique arts of their native land.

Student group assists abandoned animals By Carly.McKinney @iowastatedaily.com Students Helping Rescue Animals is a student organization that was started on Iowa State’s campus in February 2010. Allie Bender, senior in animal science, founded the club due to an interest in homeless animals she has had since adolescence. “We always had animals from shelters, so I wanted to do something to help them,” Bender
said. Rather than waiting to get involved, Bender wanted to make a difference now. She started the club with a vision of three pillars: volunteerism, fundraising and education. She and the club’s current president, Andrea Birkeland, junior in animal science, both agree that these three pillars are the most important ways to aid animals in shelters.

Center provides therapy By Amber.Hovey @iowastatedaily.com Lily is 5 years old and goes to rehab Monday through Friday. She suffers from a history of disease involving an issue with the discs that sit between the vertebrae. Partly because of this, Lily cannot walk by herself. The unique characteristic
about Lily, and other patients at this rehab clinic, is that they are furry with wet noses. Dr. Mary Sarah Bergh, an orthopedic surgeon and director of Canine Rehabilitation at the Small Animal Hospital located at the College of Veterinary Medicine, said canine rehab is similar to human rehab in that the dogs “can’t talk, but
they certainly let us know what’s wrong in other ways.” At the Canine Rehab Center, dogs of all sizes and conditions are rehabilitated, giving them a chance for a speedy recovery as well as an “improvement in the quality of recovery and function,” Bergh said.

Country singer Keith Urban is expected to have throat surgery this month after a polyp was discovered on his vocal cords, according to his publicist. The surgery is considered a minor procedure, though additional details of his condition are not clear, Paul Freundlich said in a news release. The musician will undergo “an undetermined period of recuperation that will require the postponement of the “All for the Hall’ benefit concert,” Freundlich said. Though Urban is still expected to perform at the Country Music Awards on Wednesday, he has had to “substantially scale back his appearances requiring multiple songs,” Freundlich added. “All other appearances will be rescheduled in the new year,” the statement said.

Snooki: Mike ‘The Situation’ Sorrentino is already broke
Find out what’s going on, and share your event with the rest of campus on our website, at iowastatedaily.com.
There’s no word yet on when/ where another season of MTV’s hit series will film, but Snooki isn’t worried. The self-proclaimed meatball has been saving all her money so she can support herself after the show is off the air. “’Jersey Shore’ is going to end soon,” Snooki told GQ. “I’m not going to spend money like Mike. He’s already broke.” And though season five will most likely follow “Shore’s” surefire format, Snooks said she would do things a little differently if she were in charge. “I wouldn’t show as much drinking and partying,” she said. “I would show more of us chilling out and having a good time. ... They don’t show anything but us drinking and hooking up.” “I think that if they showed the sober side of us, people would like it even more and it’d even change people’s minds about us,” she added. For those fans who want to relive season four, the four-disc set will be available in stores on Dec. 27. And if you’re experiencing GTL withdrawals with “Jersey Shore” on hiatus, fear not — your favorite fist-pumpers will be back before you know it.

>>BACHMANN.p1 touched on the problem of politicians helping out their business donors, which is known as “Crony Capitalism,” and said how this practice must end. “Politicians assure their friends that with the government’s financial backing, their businesses will never fail,” Bachmann said. “It happens every day, and it has to stop. After all, we’re not a Banana Republic; we’re the United States of America and we need to act.” Later in her speech, after promoting the ideas of the Founding Fathers and their struggle against a tyrant as well as her promises to marginalize federal agencies like the National Labor Relations Board and the Department of Education, Bachmann touched on her plan to completely abolish the current federal tax code and replace it with a plan similar to Reagan’s tax plan. “In the 1980s, Ronald Reagan enacted tax reform that created a period of unparalleled prosperity,” Bachmann said. “I intend to increase our competitiveness by following his blue print for tax reform, which had as its core principle to stop taxing investment and productivity.” Bachmann did not go into specifics on exact tax rates that her plan would entail, but she stressed that a main component of the plan would be that everyone in the country would pay a flat rate, regardless of income. Citing a statistic that 47 percent of
global scale. In response, Bachmann said she supported PEPFAR, but also said, “our problem right now is overspending ... but we have made substantial strides in that area [with PEPFAR].” Later on, Clark’s fellow attendee Deepak Premkumar elaborated on the two’s mission to help promote PEPFAR by traveling around to talk to Republican candidates about it. “Basically we are trying to lobby for more foreign aid for AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria,” Premkumar said. “And if Congresswoman Bachmann is elected president and she shows strong support for PEPFAR, it really could help.” Zach Boss, an attendee of the town hall meeting, seemed to be very happy with the message Bachmann was pushing. “I showed up because I just thought we needed to see a candidate that will represent fiscal change,” Boss said. “I thought her tax plan was good, but I don’t know if it’s the best one out there.” Boss went on to say he is neutral on his support for a particular Republican candidate but appreciated the fact that Bachmann represented fiscal conservatism. “I really like that [Bachmann] resembles the tea party movement much more than some of the candidates,” Boss said. The event was presented as part of the Lecture Series at Iowa State and drew approximately 150 attendees and media personnel.

Americans do not pay federal income taxes, because their yearly income is lower than the lowest tax bracket, Bachmann reiterated that these “people who pay nothing can easily forget the idea that there is no such thing as a free lunch.” However, Bachmann continued to explain that those who can afford to pay more should pay more even if it is the same percentage of their income. Bachmann ended her speech by
>>DIWALI.p1 “We are going to showcase Indian culture,” said Divita Mathur, ISA president and graduate student in bioinfomatics and computational biology. “It’ll be in the form of various dances. And those dances are from different parts of India. There is a south Indian dance. There is a dance from one of the western states of India. There is the dance from one of the eastern states of India. So we just want to cover diverse aspects of Indian culture.” Priyanka Nandi, ISA public relations officer and graduate student in architecture, said one of the performances would be a “Bollywood sequence” that would feature songs and choreography devised for Indian films. “Bollywood is a great favorite among Indians,” Nandi said. Nandi also said the band Punk Punditz would play songs with Hindi lyrics at the event. Attendees will be invited to do more than just watch the evening’s performances. They’ll also
mentioning that her new flat tax proposal was just part of her “American Jobs, Right Now” economic plan and that President Barack Obama was obstructing America’s ability to grow. “The Obama way has brought economic misery,” Bachmann said. “As president of the United States, I am prepared to meet those challenges and do the hard work necessary to restore America to the economic leader it can be for you, your children and

If their tastes run to visual art, they can view a design rendered in colored sand — called a “rangoli” — on the floor of the Memorial Union’s Great Hall. Indian artists often make such designs as a part of Diwali festivities. The cultural program will run from about 6 to 8 p.m. in the Great Hall. After it concludes, event attendees can come to St. Thomas Aquinas Church for a traditional Indian meal. Though the association isn’t stressing the religious aspects of Diwali, or even many of its widely observed rituals, its members are extensively familiar with both.
Keeping the flame alive As ISA member Chitvan Mittal, graduate student in biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology, explained, “Diwali” is actually a
mine.” After her speech, the congresswoman answered a number of questions from people in the audience ranging from issues of women’s safety to the minimum wage. One question in particular from attendee Dylan Clark asked about Bachmann’s commitment to the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS RELIEF, or PEPFAR, a program started under President George W. Bush to fight HIV and AIDS on a
contraction of the Hindi word “Deepavali.” This word, which means “row of lamps,” evokes the oil lamps that people light for the festival, as well as the other means of illumination (such as electric bulbs and fireworks) they use during it. Over time, these lights have taken on a manifold significance for the Hindus, Jains and Sihks of India — all of whose religious communities observe the festival. For Hindus, one level of the lights’ significance derives from stories about Lakshimi, the Hindu goddess of wealth. Mathur said Hindu families hoping for a visit from the goddess use light to attract her to their homes. “Back in India, we try to light up our houses,” she said. “She can notice our houses, and then she can come in.” The lamps also harken back to stories of Lord Rama and his wife Sita. It’s said that Rama left India to rescue her from her villainous captor Ravana. After Rama saved Sita and took her back to the mainland, villagers lighted lamps to celebrate the couple’s return. In one sense, Hindus’ illumination of their houses, villages
and cities is a way of symbolizing good’s triumph over evil, a theme that recurs in Hindu lore. “Darkness is always related to evil things, and light is something good,” Nandi said. “That is why we decorate all our houses with lights.”
Finding time for the festival In the United States, Indians hold on to Diwali rituals, though they often time their observance to accommodate American job and class schedules. “We have to compromise,” Mathur said. “We have a weeklong holiday in India. It’s a season of festivities. But here we have to go to work.” Mittal doesn’t see the schedule concessions as a damper on students’ enthusiasm for Diwali Night. It’s a big event — one of the biggest for ISA,” Mittal said. “I can guarantee that, even though it’s been shifted, people will be as excited as they would [otherwise] be. So that really doesn’t diminish the effect.”

Editorial
Bachmann uses quantity over quality Michele Bachmann’s visit Thursday to Iowa State was a wellattended event and gave students a chance to hear and ask questions of Bachmann in the Memorial Union’s Sun Room. There were some in attendance who wholeheartedly agreed with her conservative message and others who were a bit more skeptical. What we did notice was the massive amount of statistics and numbers that spewed forth as Bachmann detailed her position on relevant fiscal topics. It was wonderful that she had so much data backing her speech, but after a while it seemed that footnotes may be necessary to follow along fully. Facts are important, but we need to make sure that we have all of the facts and keep all of it in context. When a candidate spends his or her time simply flashing numbers at us in an attempt to impress us, it makes us wonder if those are filling in for the person’s inability to think on their feet about more than planned talking points. For a woman who talks a lot about her Iowa upbringing in our state, Bachmann’s attempt to pass off her misquote of John F. Kennedy’s inaugural speech on her early teachers in Cedar Falls was likely a mistake. She also got a little confused about the difference between Iowa and Iowa State and apparently doesn’t know that Iowa is south of our fair university (she mentioned going “up” to Iowa City). It seemed like much of her talk detailed facts designed to incite fear and uncertainty into the public. At one point she asked if we wanted to pay 70 percent of our future incomes in various state and federal taxes. Where did that number come from? Are we to assume that as president, Michele Bachmann will be able to fix all of these problems, real and imagined? Many of us can agree with Bachmann that the tax code is too complicated, that we should balance our national budget and that we have an unemployment problem. But can we really support a presidential candidate who, while working as a congressional representative, believes that Americans should protest against their federal government (rather than big banks)? Can we truly believe a politician who decries politicians who change their policies to please big donors when she herself collected the majority of her 2010 reelection funds from sources outside of Minnesota’s 6th District? We need a president who can take credit for his or her achievements and mistakes, who considers possible positive changes more than negative facts and who understands that quality of information is more important than quantity. Remember these things the next time you stop in Iowa, Rep. Bachmann. Editorial Board

Know past to plan future Ignoring history is dangerous, misleading
B
onfire night, also known as the Fifth of November, is an old British holiday that has gained notoriety here in the United States since the 2006 release of the movie “V for Vendetta.” The movie and the comic book on which it is based feature the main character, V, a man clothed all in black with a cape and a Guy Fawkes mask, working to subvert a totalitarian party-state Britain. The character adopts the Guy Fawkes disguise because in 1605, Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament; that is the main goal of V. As he states in the movie, the act is merely a symbol, but with enough people it can gain a powerful meaning. His mission is to topple the oppressive government and lead to a restoration of justice and liberty. The movie is pretty violent, but it has a powerful message to it: that tyranny should not be tolerated, and we should prize and maintain our liberties. As a student of history, however, I find the appropriation and then misuse of Fawkes and his Gunpowder Plot disturbing. The most commonly mistaken historical facts are often the simplest ones, such as Rep. Michele Bachmann’s, R-Minn.,
By Michael.Belding @iowastatedaily.com statement to a group of people in Manchester, N.H., that their’s was “the state where the shot was heard around the world at Lexington and Concord.” Fawkes was not a champion of liberty in anything but the 16th- and 17th-century sense. His was not a mission of toleration. In 1605, he tried to blow up Parliament because King James VI of Scotland had inherited the English throne two years earlier and retained Protestantism as the official religion and continued the Elizabethan rejection of statesponsored Catholicism. Like the Puritans and the rest of Europe at this time, religious liberty consisted of living under whichever faith was true. Often, that faith would be imposed on dissenters who had the misfortune of living within the realm of a prince who disagreed with them. Toleration, to the extent that it existed at all, did not mean acceptance. The Test Act of 1673, in England, required communion in the Church of England to hold office. England’s Act of Toleration, passed in 1689, allowed freedom of worship to Protestants, including dissent-
ers from the Church of England, but not Catholics and non-trinitarians. The Catholic Relief Act, passed in 1829, repealed the 1673 Test Act, removed penal laws and allowed Catholics to sit as members of Parliament. Louis XIV of France repealed the Edict of Nantes, which granted religious toleration to Protestants in 1598, in 1685. The Thirty Years’ War across Europe, from 1618 to 1648, ended the religion-based conflict with a compromise: each German prince would be able to choose his own religion. Choice was not an option, however, for anyone but the prince. The American colonies are often pointed to as examples of religious freedom, but often they disenfranchised adherents to certain creeds, such as Catholicism, or substantially limited their rights and denied them legal equality. Religious intolerance has been a fixture of life for centuries, and Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot was part of that tradition. Historical accuracy is vital. To know where we’re going, we have to have an idea of where we are now and how we got here. In short, we have to know our history. Assigning an incorrect meaning to an important historical event only corrupts the history and makes our understanding of it more biased. Ideas are important, but they exist in a factual context of past and present. To understand how they will impact our world and
the people in it, we need to know history. The French Revolution, for instance, ignored it. The revolutionaries had lots of rational, enlightened, liberal ideas. But they worked to impose those ideas on a society unready for them, without moving in increments toward their goals. Their revolution included a bloodbath of a terror because they believed their ideas were so good that they no longer needed to work them out in a society formed by longstanding traditions. Even the worst offenders against historical accuracy acknowledge their need for it. History — the human experience — provides the best evidence for an argument. In citing the American Revolution and the Founding Fathers, the tea party movement seeks to tie us back to an earlier age. No matter who does that hearkening back, however, must take great care to do it correctly. Looking at history with rosecolored lenses, romanticizing and glorifying it, and ignoring its unsavory parts only means we’ll end up acting on inaccurate assumptions. Remember, remember, the fifth of November. Britons do so by burning effigies of Guy Fawkes, not King James.

African economy can use tariffs Poverty can be diminished with policies, development
R
eminiscing childhood, we usually fondly remember the carefree days where we dreamed about one day becoming what we wanted to, about helping out and contributing like the grown-ups, and about doing what we’re good at. At least that’s what children growing up in developed countries have the chance to do. Children in some countries in Africa, however, have only one thing on their minds — food. When they’re fed, they probably worry about food for tomorrow and fear for their safety. For some, a chance of getting basic education to escape their fate depends on toiling to find a diamond. In Somalia, 29,000 children age 5 and younger have died in the 2011 famine. Another 3.7 million people are in crisis, according to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. The food crisis is caused partly by drought and partly by mismanagement. In the short run, providing food, aid of labor, tools for irrigation, power and desalination plants, and farming is important. But in the long run, for poverty to end in Africa, it has to come to equal economic standing with other countries. For this to happen, Africa must become more technologically advanced. This struck me as I was pondering the poverty problem there while my technology and social change professor talked about the tariff’s role in the history of industrial development. Looking back into U.S. tariff history, when domestic industries were just starting and competing with large companies such as those in Britain, it would’ve been impossible at the time, had there been no tariffs to make prices of exported and domestic products approximately the same. The U.S. government imposed a 40 percent tariff on exported items so that the prices of domestic products matched those of exports. The bloom of economic development followed. Although free trade promotes competition and improvement and is essential once companies in a nation are developed, startups

By Krupali.Desai @iowastatedaily.com need profit incentives. Many African nations need startups. Infant industries in developing nations, where the currency value is low, can’t afford the global market price of raw materials that grown industries in developed nations can. Instead of caving to the short-term monetary benefits of high amounts of export, African governments need to impose a hefty percentage of tariffs (or trade tax) on their nonfuel mineral exports. This would cause mineral prices to decrease domestically because the tariff on exports would lessen export and would prompt miners to sell the access supply of metals and other minerals for a cheaper price within Africa. As a result, it would be made possible for manufacturers to open facilities in the central part of the continent, which is more in need of development. As importers turn to other exporters, the concentrated rise in demand of minerals would
cause an increase in price around the globe. This also can stimulate emphasis on recycling metals and products such as cellphones and cables. Developed industries like cellphone and cable manufacturing companies that depend on metals such as copper, cobalt and so on, seem to be doing well enough to accommodate a low price increase on raw materials compared to high increase in wages (with inflation) and oil prices. Meanwhile, African nations can pour that money from tariffs into infrastructure, industries and providing protection for citizens and properties. The flourishing of industries in the vast lands of Africa would give way to jobs and a higher quality of living. Once industries and infrastructures are built in African countries, tariffs on imports can be implemented for a short duration to keep them from succumbing to cheap mass produced goods in developed nations. Be on the lookout for part two on boosting Africa’s economy, which will discuss global trade history, World Trade Organization agreements, Congo’s current situation and more.

CYCLONES EMBARK ON FIRST ROAD TRIP iowastatedaily.com/sports
Basketball:
Iowa State to host Rockhurst on Sunday By David Merrill, Daily staff writer Iowa State continues its exhibition play at 5:30 p.m. Sunday with a game against Rockhurst. The Cyclones won their first exhibition game 87-33 against Coe College. Every player on the Cyclones’ roster scored at least once, but junior forward Chelsea Poppens led the way with 14 points. Freshman guard Nikki Moody contributed 12 points. Moody contributed more than just points to the statline. She also recorded five assists, three steals and two blocks in her 25 minutes of play. Moody is one freshman who coach Bill Fennelly alluded to having the chance to earn significant playoff time. While senior Chassidy Cole will be starting at the point guard position, Moody proved she can be effective when in the game. Junior center Anna Prins put in 11 points of her own. Rockhurst lost its first exhibition game against Creighton, falling 83-26. Susan Hohenadel was Rockhurst’s leading scorer with seven points. Iowa State plays Houston Baptist in its season opener next Friday.
MLB:
Players select Verlander as player of year NEW YORK — Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander has been selected player of the year in voting by the Major League Baseball Players Association, becoming the second pitcher to earn the honor. Verlander beat out Boston first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and New York Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson for the Players Choice Award, announced Thursday. The only other pitcher to win it was Boston’s Pedro Martinez in 1999. “Obviously from a personal standpoint, it was an amazing year. I worked extremely hard for this,” Verlander said during a conference call. “If you expect greatness, it shouldn’t surprise you. So I’ve always expected myself to be able to pitch this way. So it still doesn’t surprise me I did.” Verlander was 24-5 with a 2.40 ERA and 250 strikeouts, leading the AL in all three categories. “I think I’ll be looking back at this one for a long time,” he said. “I don’t know if I’ll have a season like this again, but I’m not going to discount it. I’m not going to say I won’t. Things have to go right for it to happen, but I would say I can pitch better. I think I’m still scratching the surface here.” The heavy favorite for the AL Cy Young Award and a contender for AL MVP, Verlander had the most wins in the majors since Arizona’s Randy Johnson in 2002. The right-hander found a groove after going 2-3 in his first seven starts and in the second half became the first pitcher to win 12 straight starts since Minnesota’s Johan Santana in 2004. Colorado Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez won last year. The Associated Press

Playing an unfamiliar role
By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com
The ISU football team made ending a four-game losing streak look easy in its upset of Texas Tech last week in Lubbock, Texas. Now, the task shifts from avoiding a slide to gaining momentum through the latter half of the season for the Cyclones (4-4, 1-4 Big 12) as they host Kansas on Saturday. However, the Cyclones find themselves in an unfamiliar position —
they’re favored to win. “It’s something that weren’t not used to, obviously,” said defensive end Jacob Lattimer. “Iowa State isn’t picked to be the team to come out on top. So it is unusual, I guess, in a way.” ISU coach Paul Rhoads said his team’s 41-7 win over then-ranked Texas Tech was the first “complete game” from his team. His team is now presented with a new challenge, though. “The challenge that we talked about is now that we’ve played a
complete game, how good can we get in the last four games of the regular season?” Rhoads said. “They had fun Saturday night. They saw the success of a great week-long preparation and gameday execution, and they’re excited to see what we can add to that as we push forward.” The Jayhawks (2-6, 0-5) come into the game having grown accustomed to the bottom of the Big 12 under coach Turner Gill, who is in his second year at the helm of the program.

But linebacker Jake Knott said Kansas is not a team to be taken lightly. “Just because the Big 12 is good doesn’t mean Kansas is bad,” Knott said. “They’ve played so many good teams, they’ve played Oklahoma tight, they were beating Texas Tech by a lot. They’re a really solid and good team.” Through its conference gauntlet, Kansas comes into Saturday’s game last in the FBS in both total de-

Holding their composure Cyclones prepare for Texas Tech after 3-1 victory By Dean.Berhow-Goll @iowastatedaily.com The Cyclones defeated the Oklahoma Sooners in four sets Wednesday in Norman, Okla. With the win, the No. 13 Cyclones (18-4, 9-2 Big 12) remain in second place in the Big 12 behind only No. 9 Texas. “We knew Oklahoma was a good defensive team and we talked about keeping our composure as the rallies go on,” said coach Christy JohnsonLynch. “That’s how Oklahoma plays, they try to force you into making a mistake through playing good defense. “I thought we responded really well. It was good to see great defensive play on both sides and I thought we held our composure very well.” The Cyclones had a number of contributors on the offensive end. Senior Carly Jenson nearly matched her career-high in kills with 25. Jamie Straube and Kelsey Petersen added double-digit kills with 16 and 12. Behind them was Tenisha Matlock with eight and coming off the
bench was freshman Victoria Hurtt. “I feel like we’re as healthy as we’ve ever been. I think a good sign of that is how Jenson is playing,” Johnson-Lynch said. “Last year, she started huge and then faded. This year, I think she’s playing right now as well as she has her whole career.” Setter Alison Landwehr posted her career high in assists with 64. That mark is the highest since last year when she posted 62 in a five-set loss to Creighton in the first round of the NCAA tournament. “I think our passing picked up,” Landwehr said. “Their blockers had trouble knowing where we were going, and we were mixing it up more than usual, which helped us in that situation. “I was also going to Carly a lot and they couldn’t stop her. I think it was just a result of the hitters putting the ball away.” Landwehr’s assist total was a career high, as was Jenson’s 65 attack attempts. It was the first time a Cyclone attacker had more than 60 this season. “Once we got to the third and fourth set, I was definitely getting a little tired,” Jenson said. “But I just tried to keep pushing through because I knew it was a big win down
there.” With redshirt freshman Hannah Willms struggling against the Sooners, Hurtt filled in and pleased her coach. “Hurtt came off the bench and was really big-time for us,” Johnson-Lynch said. “It’s really nice to have that bench that you can go to. We’re fortunate that we have great players coming off the bench for us right now.” Iowa State will host Texas Tech at 4 p.m. Saturday. Last time it faced the Red Raiders (13-11, 1-9) in Lubbock, Texas, it was a quick three-game sweep for the Cyclones. The match may not have been one to remember, but it did mark Johnson-Lynch’s record-breaking win to give her the most wins all-time as an ISU volleyball coach. When she was reminded that she broke the record at that match, Johnson-Lynch laughed and said with a smile that, “They all run together at some point.” One player the team mentioned it would have to look out for is Amanda Dowdy. When the two teams faced last time, Dowdy was seemingly the only stand-out, recording a doubledouble with 10 kills and 10 digs

ISU wrestling coach Kevin Jackson has high hopes for his team as it begins the new season. “Our goal is to be in the hunt for the national championship,” Jackson said. “To win a national championship, it takes six guys in the top four. I think I have those six guys in the room right now.” Before they can think about any title, the Cyclones must first get on the mat. On Sunday, they’ll do just that as they travel to Boston for a pair of dual meets. Last season, Iowa State, ranked No. 24 to start this season, posted a dual record of 9-10 and finished 20th in the NCAA tournament. One of the dual victories came against Boston, which the Cyclones will face Sunday along with Army. With a retooled roster this season, Iowa State will rely heavily on underclassmen, including several redshirt freshmen. For senior and team captain Andrew Sorenson, the first meets are important as young guys get on the mat for the first time. “We have all of these young guys that haven’t been on the mat yet,” Sorenson said. “Everybody can look good in practice — we wrestle each other every day, we stayed here all summer every day together — but getting on the mat is actually a test.” The Cyclones begin the season with six wrestlers ranked in Intermat’s top 20 polls. One of those wrestlers is redshirt freshman Ryak Finch, who begins the season ranked 13th at 125 pounds. When Finch takes the mat for the first time Sunday, he said it’ll be an honor to be able to wear the cardinaland-gold singlet. “If you look at the greats that have worn this singlet and wrestled for Iowa State, it’s a huge honor,” Finch said. “I’m just really excited after a long year of redshirting to finally strap it on and just make sure I’m keeping the tradition alive.” Sunday’s first matches will be a start to what Jackson hopes will be a big season for the Cyclones, and the first meets will help act as a building block for the young wrestlers. “Them getting on the mat will determine where they’re at and from there we can build where we want to be,” Sorenson said. “I have faith that these guys are ready to go.” In the end, Jackson has just one goal for the first two meets of the season and feels his team can achieve it. “Bottom line, we’re looking for them to win. That’s what we expect them to do, we expect them to go out there and win,” Jackson said. “If they wrestle to their ability, I think we should win.” The Cyclones will take to the mat at 2 p.m. Sunday against Army and will then take on Boston at 6 p.m. in Case Gym in Boston.

Team takes new identity
Cyclones host Division II team in exhibition By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com
File photo: David Merrill/Iowa State Daily Junior Maria Fernanda Macedo winds up to serve against Texas.
Cyclones head to final matches By Mark.Schafer @iowastatedaily.com Through the first four tennis tournaments of the fall season, Iowa State has not fielded a full squad at any of them. “We broke the team up, first, based off experience for the first tournament since we went up against tougher competition up in Minnesota,” said coach Armando Espinosa. “A couple weeks ago, we were able to have a couple students represent us at the ITA regionals, so they did that while the majority of the team was down in Kansas.” Now, for the first time all season, the ISU tennis team will play its first tournament as a whole outside of practice in its final tournament of the fall season — the Western Michigan Super Challenge in Kalamazoo, Mich. This weekend’s tournament will come after a successful Kansas tournament, Espinosa said. “The girls are coming off one of the best tournaments of the year in Kansas, so hopefully we will be able to gain momentum off that and use it at Western Michigan,” Espinosa said. “It’s the time of the year where you would like to see improvement from everyone.” Espinosa said this weekend’s tournament also will have some tougher competition than in weeks past. “It will be a good marker on how we have improved over the fall,” Espinosa said. “This tournament is longer than most, so ideally, we will see if the players who were successful in earlier tournaments can keep up their success.” One of the players who
made the tournament at Kansas a success was freshman Meghan Cassens, who won her bracket in singles play. Cassens was the only player to win her bracket at Kansas, but she said that focusing on everyone and improving are still important parts when it comes to preparing for the upcoming tournament. “The win was a nice accomplishment, but the season didn’t end, it’s just beginning,” Cassens said. “During practice, we still have focused on parts of our game that needs work and also as a team in areas that need improvement.” Part of the areas that need improvement is the doubles game, Espinosa said. “We are still working out a few different doubles partner combinations,” Espinosa said. “That was an area where, coming out of Kansas and the [ITA] regionals, we felt like we could improve. It’s about finding a combination that works and has similar game play, so that they can execute the game plan.” Part of working on the doubles will be mixing up some partnerships, so by the time the players play in January, they will have worked with their partner before. “For a doubles partner, you want to have chemistry, that way if you miss a shot then you can trust your partner to cover for you, or to cover for them if they miss a shot,” said senior Maria Fernanda Macedo. “That is something that comes from playing matches together.” The ISU tennis team will play in the Western Michigan University Super Challenge this Friday through Monday.
After a closed scrimmage last Sunday against Nebraska, Iowa State will get its first chance this Sunday to take the court in front of a crowd as they take on Grand Valley State in an exhibition game at Hilton Coliseum. “Our last two days of practice have been two of our best after the Nebraska scrimmage,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg before practice on Thursday. “That’s the process right now is continuing to take steps in the right direction, continue to work our way up and try to look like a team on Nov. 12 against Lehigh [University].” Expectations from the ISU fan base are high as four Division I transfers — Chris Allen, Chris Babb, Anthony Booker and Royce White — will make their debuts in a cardinal and gold uniform. White admitted Thursday that he has had a tough time sleeping this past week in anticipation of his first collegiate game after sitting out last season due to NCAA transfer rules. “I think our whole identity is different, and the faces you’ll see are different, but as far as the system it’s the same,” White said comparing last year’s team to this season’s. “We’re just building the system around the guys we’ve got now.” In addition to the four transfers, the Cyclones will be breaking in a new starter at point guard after the departure of four-year starter Diante Garrett. Senior guard Scott Christopherson, who has played shooting guard over the last three seasons, will start Sunday’s game at the point. “It’s a little different playing the point then playing the two, but I think that’s probably what’s best for our team right now,” Christopherson said. “We’ll have some different stuff to get me off the ball a little bit, I think, but I think right now with the personnel we have that that’s where I

need to be.” Division II Grand Valley State, located in Allendale, Mich., is familiar to both Hoiberg and redshirt senior guard Chris Allen. Grand Valley State’s head coach Ric Wesley coached Hoiberg as an assistant coach at Iowa State. Wesley, an assistant from 1981 to 1994 under coach Johnny Orr, actually recruited Hoiberg to come to Iowa State beginning in Hoiberg’s sophomore year at Ames High School. “I still talk to him a lot just about the game and different things that he’s trying to do with his team and try to apply it with our guys,” Hoiberg

However, senior linebacker Steven Johnson has been a bright spot for the defense, tallying a league-leading 90 total tackles through eight games — a full 20 tackles more than Knott, who is second with 70. The ISU offense is rolling, coming off a game in which it reeled off 368 rushing yards — the most in school history since 1999. “Those are the great games, those are the games where you feel like you can do anything,” said offensive lineman Carter Bykowski. “You’re running the ball for four or five yards a pop and eating the clock up and when you run the ball like
said. Like White, Allen will be making his ISU debut and it will be against a Grand Valley State team he’s familiar with. As a freshman at Michigan State, Allen led the Spartans with 15 points in his first college exhibition game, which was a 85-82 double overtime upset loss to Grand Valley State. That loss helped Allen recognize the consequences of losing an exhibition game to a Division II opponent. “You can lose and instead of hurting your record, it’s just going to demoralize you, especially if it’s a team that you definitely should have beat in that situation,” Allen said.
that, it opens up the offense too. If we need a pass play here and there, it really sets the tone for it.” Against Texas Tech, running back Duran “Duck” Hollis ran for a careerhigh 101 yards on four carries — including a 71-yard touchdown run in the third quarter for a touchdown. Hollis’ performance came as a surprise to Rhoads. “What I haven’t seen Duck do until Saturday night was run with the aggressiveness that he did in a game,” Rhoads said. “Early in the season, I thought he’s run tentative. I thought he’s covered the ball up like it’s always a short-yardage play and he’s worried about them stripping the ball.” Coming into that game, Hollis had just nine rushing yards through six games played.
“That was not a good way to start my college career.” The Lakers, who are picked to finish second in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference finished 19-8 (14-5 GLIAC) last season. They return the backcourt tandem of senior guard James Thomas and junior Breland Hogan, who averaged 11.1 and 7.4 points per game last season. “They’re going to come in here and compete,” Hoiberg said. “They’ll try and punch us in the mouth, so it will be a good test for us. I’m excited to see where we stand.” Tip time for Sunday’s game is set for 12:30 p.m.
On offense, the Jayhawks are averaging one more point per game (26.4) than the Cyclones featuring a running game that ranks in the upper half in the nation, averaging 164.3 yards per game. “The only time you’re going to [see] a true passing down is third-and-long, third-and-7 or more [against Kansas],” said ISU defensive coordinator Wally Burnham. “So they’re running the ball, and their offensive line is very athletic, much better than you would think from what you’ve seen record-wise.” Burnham said the Jayhawks’ use of two tight ends in run-blocking provides extra opportunities for holes to break open for the ball carrier. This will be met by an ISU defense that has allowed 206.8 rushing yards per game. Kickoff is slated for 11:30 a.m. at Jack Trice Stadium.

[Oklahoma] showed us some things that we need to work on. They served us short really well and we got very much exposed, so I bet you anything we’ll see that over the next couple weeks.” It’s hard not to overlook a team like Texas Tech, but Johnson-Lynch said every match counts when trying to win out. “We have a pretty mature team that realizes that it’s really important for us to win out,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We’ve got to do everything we can that’s under our control to keep our high RPI and get us a host first- and second-round and get a good seed. “When you keep that in the back of your head, you know how important this match is.” The match against Texas Tech starts at 4 p.m. Saturday.

>>RESCUE.p1 The club was formed with about five members in the beginning. Through fliers and advertisement, Bender spread the word about her new club and at the first meeting was pleasantly surprised with a turnout of about 40 people. Now, the group’s mailing list has more than 300 names on it. “The transformation is really interesting, actually,” Bender said. “I never really expected it to be this big and wasn’t prepared for it to get this big. The members have really transformed the club into what it is.” She said she is happy with the direction the club is taking. Now, the club has a vice president of education, vice president of volunteerism and vice president of fundraising, which is exactly the vision the club’s founder had in mind. The club donates all of the money it raises, helps to educate the public about homeless animals and volunteers at local shelters. Rather than expecting dues, each member must give two hours of their time each semester, through any of the three pillars the club believes in. The club has a fundraising opportunity coming up at Jeff’s Pizza. Next Friday, people can go to Jeff’s Pizza and mention they are there for Students Helping Rescue Animals. The proceeds from these sales will go to the club, which will be donated to

shelters. The fundraiser will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The group also will be working on its education effort in the coming weeks. Events often include a table on campus and lectures, and on Nov. 14, Mindy Collison will be on campus to speak about puppy mills. Collison will present at 7:30 p.m. in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union following the club’s meeting. Students Helping Rescue Animals also does a lot during Veishea. It hosts fundraisers and adoption events to find people interested in adopting homeless animals. The group generally has dogs there as well to help spark interest. Club meetings take place at 7 p.m. every other Monday. The meetings are open to everyone hoping to make a difference for homeless animals. “It’s just so rewarding to know I’m actually making a difference,” Birkeland said of her time spent with the club. Bender, who is interested in someday opening her own shelter, said she has had a great experience with the club and has learned an invaluable amount about homeless animals. “I’ve probably gotten more out of SHRA than I have out of classes,” she said. Bender pushes that the club has “something for everybody,” and each member may be as involved as they choose to be.

>>REHAB.p1 The majority of the patients are sent to rehab after orthopedic or neurologic surgery in order to recover, said Joanna Hildreth, a certified canine rehabilitation practitioner at the center. However, some dogs, like Lily, use rehab as a program for problems such as obesity, arthritis or to help with pain relief. “Rehab is an important aspect of overall animal health for cardiovascular and muscular conditioning and for maintaining and improving joint health,” Hildreth said. Hildreth describes every dog as an individual and with that comes different therapy options. For therapy, Lily usually does the underwater treadmill in the morning and then the balancing ball in the evenings, said a fourth-year veterinary medicine student who has been working with Lily.

The rehab center has many other rehabilitation exercises besides the ones mentioned for Lily, such as stairs, cavaletti rails, laser therapy and neuromuscular electrical stimulation. The rehab center monitors progress of each patient by measuring muscle mass and range of motion in the joints and the dog’s ability to tolerate each activity, Bergh said. The center also uses force plates, which are able to measure how much weight the dog places on each foot. “I want to give every opportunity to her,” said Lori Adams, Lily’s owner, “She’s like a child, part of the family.” Adams and Hildreth both said they’ve noticed a positive difference in Lily since she started coming to rehab. The people at the rehab center “treat my dog like it’s their own,” Adams said. They provide “great attention” and ‘great therapy.” “I can’t say enough good things,” Adams said.

Quarterback
Upbringing shapes Barnett Father-son bond leads to success on field By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Jared Barnett has made the most of his opportunities as a redshirt freshman quarterback on the ISU football team. The 6-foot, 200-pound native of Garland, Texas, led Iowa State (4-4, 1-4 Big 12) to its first conference win of the season Saturday in a 41-7 upset of then-No. 19 Texas Tech in his firstever start as an ISU quarterback. Through his budding success as the new starting quarterback for the Cyclones, Barnett is quick to point out that the influence of his father, Duke, has been instrumental in shaping who he is today. “He really keeps me humble,” Barnett said of his father. “He knows that some people around me are trying to hype me up and that’s good, but then again that’s not what he wants me to be and he just wants to keep me level-headed and keep me humble.” Duke has been coaching Jared since he first picked up a football at age 4, stressing the proper mechanics — anywhere from movement of the feet to eye shifting while making reads at the line of scrimmage — required to flourish at quarterback. “[Jared’s] family relationship is fantastic,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “His dad is very even-keeled. That upbringing, that guidance, that relationship is very strong and certainly is supportive to his success.” After shaking off the trauma that resulted from throwing an interception in his first collegiate pass attempt

Barnett and Cyclones will take on Kansas at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium.

Kansas vs. Iowa State
No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Alabama
No. 10 South Carolina vs. No. 8 Arkansas
No. 13 Michigan vs. Iowa
Texas A&M vs. No. 7 Oklahoma
No. 17 Kansas State vs. No. 3 Oklahoma State
Jeremiah Davis, sports editor (44-19)
Iowa State — Texas Tech pancaked after beating No. 1 Oklahoma. Will Iowa State do the same against Kansas? Don’t think so. Jayhawk fans can’t wait for basketball.
Alabama — Set up to be the biggest game of the year so far. If many had their way, this would be the national title game as well. Tide rolls, but narrowly.
Arkansas — With Stephen Garcia gone, many thought the season in peril. Connor Shaw has failed to put up numbers close to Garcia, and it will cost the Gamecocks.
Michigan — Things that made me happy this weekend: going to Islands of Adventure at Universal in Orlando and seeing Minnesota win. Denard runs wild.
Oklahoma — Think Oklahoma has an axe to grind? The Sooners will be out for blood the rest of the way after losing to Texas Tech at home.
Kansas State — My upset of the week. Oklahoma State is the Cinderella of the top 25 right now, but its national title hopes come crashing down.
Nebraska — The Cornhuskers finally came through for me last week. It makes me feel dirty, but I’ll trust ‘em again.
Jake Calhoun, assistant sports editor (38-25)
Iowa State — This is the point in the season when at least half of the KU players are seriously trying to figure out why they decided to play football at Kansas.
LSU — I won’t need a cute little rhyme to tell you that LSU will pull away with a close win. Somehow.
Arkansas — The Razorbacks are 7-0 when Tyler Wilson passes for a measly 200 yards. If that’s all he needs against the stout South Carolina pass defense, then so be it.
Michigan — Denard Robinson looks like predator, but James Vandenberg is no Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Oklahoma — Oklahoma is still jealous that Texas A&M actually gets to leave the conference after this season.
Oklahoma State — Bill Snyder and Brandon Weeden have one thing in common: They’re both incredibly old for what they do.
Nebraska — Bo Pelini can’t start his day without yelling at the paperboy and making threatening phone calls to Big 12 officiating crews. #bopelinifunfacts
Dan Tracy, senior sports reporter (42-21)
Iowa State — A must-win for the Cyclones if they want a shot at a bowl. A must-not give up 600 yards and 50 points to stay out of the worst defense ever section of the record books.
LSU — Eeenie meenie miney mo, to the National Championship one team will go. Saban is crazy and Miles is mad, the Tigers will win but just by a tad.
South Carolina — Call me crazy, but I have faith in South Carolina’s offense now that it has a sober quarterback under center.
Michigan — Michigan beat Minnesota 58-0. Minnesota beat Iowa 2221. I’m not trying to make a point, I just wanted to type that second sentence and look at it for a while.
Oklahoma — Can Oklahoma and Oklahoma State just play already? Gosh.
Oklahoma State — Playing Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in back-to-back weeks is about as fair as having a 28-year-old quarterback ... Oh wait ...
Nebraska — Feed. Rex. Burkhead.
Jake Lovett, editor in chief (46-17)
Iowa State — With a win, the Cyclones will clinch at least a five-win season. Who thought that would be the case in August?
Alabama — The Tigers have been rolling. Nobody rolls the Tide at home, though.
Arkansas — Dan trusts SC’s sober quarterback. I think it makes the Gamecocks less exciting.
Michigan — If the Hawkeyes lose this one, another 7-5 finish seems much more likely. How many more 7-5 years does Kirk get?
Oklahoma — That Texas Tech game was an aberration. This OU team is really, really good.
Oklahoma State — Brandon Weeden remembers the 1980s fondly. Bill Snyder also loved the 80s. The 1880s.
Nebraska — Watching Taylor Martinez quarterback makes me sad. Watching Bo Pelini coach makes me feel angry. Watching Rex Burkhead run is just terrifying.
Bill Fennelly, guest pick (14-14)
Iowa State — The Cyclones get back-to-back wins in front of another 50,000plus crowd to get to 5-4 on the season.
Alabama — Les Miles does not like the taste of the grass at Alabama. Trent Richardson continues his Heisman campaign.
Arkansas — The Ol’ Ball Coach has no answer as they call the Hogs.
Michigan — Shoelace breaks a bunch of ankles and they outscore the Hawks in a good game.
Oklahoma — OU continues its comeback to national championship form and sends a message to the Aggies as they leave the Big 12.
Oklahoma State — Cowboys roll big as KSU has another bad week versus a team from the state of Oklahoma.
Nebraska — If the Blackshirt defense is back. It will be a long day for the ‘Cats.

We’re not going to shortchange it: Texas Tech’s 41-38 upset of then-No. 3 Oklahoma on Oct. 22 in Norman, Okla., was nothing short of surprising. As a result, Texas Tech jumped to No. 19 in the AP Top 25 poll and Oklahoma dropped to No. 9 — one slot underneath Kansas State. What was at least equally — if not more — surprising the following week was Iowa State’s 41-7 upset of that same team that had dropped our jaws by beating Oklahoma. With the new leadership of redshirt freshman Jared Barnett — who has been praised for his poise in the pocket and his ability to lead the ISU offense into scoring drives that look somewhat effortless — ISU fans may be beginning to think Oklahoma will be a piece of cake when the Cyclones travel to Norman on Nov. 26. Well, we’re not here to tell you that you’re foolish for thinking Iowa State has a chance to beat Oklahoma — something it has not done since 1990 — because who are we to stomp on your faith and spit on it? But we do want to tell you that investing heavily in the transitive property (if A+B=C and B+C=A, then A+C=B) is just plain silly and that there are other factors to take into account when it comes to how teams fare against each other during the regular season. We’ll look at an example from this season between three of the best teams in the Big Ten — Michigan State, Wisconsin and Nebraska. On Oct. 1, Nebraska traveled to Madison, Wis., for its inaugural conference game as a member of the Big Ten ranked eighth in the nation to
File photo: Yue Wu/Iowa State Daily Quarterback Jared Barnett rushes the ball against Texas A&M on Oct. 22. Although Texas Tech upset Oklahoma and Iowa State upset Texas Tech, it does not mean Iowa State will beat Oklahoma.
face No. 7 Wisconsin. Wisconsin won handily, 48-17, while “Jump Around” boomed through the sound system at Camp Randall Stadium so loudly that NU coach Bo Pelini couldn’t hear himself scream. Fast forward to Oct. 22 in East Lansing, Mich., when Michigan State upended Wisconsin’s hopes of an undefeated season and possibly a bid in the BCS National Championship Game when the Spartans won on a controversial, last-second desperation heave that was reviewed to be a touchdown in a 37-31 contest. A week later, Michigan State fell to Nebraska 24-3 in front of a typical sellout crowd at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Neb. So wait, Wisconsin killed Nebraska and Michigan State beat Wisconsin, so shouldn’t Michigan State have beaten Nebraska? Absolutely not. There are many factors to take into account — the hostile environment a team that had previously been victorious may find itself in, injuries to key players that the coaches try to keep under wraps from the general public, etc. — that don’t factor into the win-andloss column. Another important factor is the differing styles of game
play that may not translate into a sure win or loss against one another. The spread offense can be effective against defenses that specialize in stopping the run while lacking sufficient pass-defending capabilities — which was the case in Iowa State’s 44-41 triple-overtime win against Iowa on Sept. 11 — but that does not mean it will work against other defenses that have faltered at the hands of your upcoming opponent. So folks, we’re not saying you shouldn’t believe Iowa State can beat Oklahoma or whoever was beaten at the hands of an opponent Iowa State has gotten the best of. But to think that just because a team that Iowa State beat had defeated an even better team the week before means an automatic victory over the team that’s even better is just preposterous. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to hope. We’re just saying, don’t be so quick to get your hopes up.

>>BARNETT.p2 in the fourth quarter of a 52-17 loss to Missouri on Oct. 15, Barnett has successfully led the ISU offense down the field for scores on multiple drives since. Lauded for his poise, Barnett has been able to resurrect an ISU offense that had been averaging 20.3 points per game in regulation. “Even at a young age, he really worked hard to have good technique in his footwork and his motion in throwing the football,” Duke said of Jared. “He got so good at that, he really didn’t have trouble trusting what he could do. “He’s never had a time when he’s just been rattled because he knows what he can do, he trusts in his abilities, he trusts in his work ethic because he trusts in everything he’s learned through his upbringing.” Rhoads said one of Barnett’s best attributes is that he meticulously studies opposing defenses — even during weeks in which he didn’t play. This, of course, can be attributed to his father’s influence as well. “The most important thing in playing an opponent is knowing where their weaknesses are,” Duke said. “I tell him all the time, ‘You’ll never be successful as a quarterback if you don’t study and understand what an opposing team is going to try to do to you.’” Jared’s knowledge of the defense partly stems from to having had to play safety in rotation with Adrian Phillips — who now plays defensive back at Texas — opposite quarterback during his freshman year of high school. “I told him I thought it’d be good for him because being back there, it would have him get an understanding of what defensive backs looked for in a quarterback — looking at their eyes and looking at how they take the drops and things like that and try to get a read on what they’re doing with the play,” Duke said. “That’s where he learned the importance of looking at [opposing defenses].” Coming out of high school, Jared led the initiative in being

recruited by Division I schools for football. Duke said Jared’s first choice was to play at Texas Tech under then-coach Mike Leach, who recruited him but never gave him an official offer. Jared was offered by four Division I schools — Houston, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State — to play quarterback. After making a trip to Ames and meeting with Rhoads, Duke said Jared was instantly sold on wanting to come to Iowa State. “After we spent time with
the [ISU] coaching staff, he picked up the phone and called his mom and said, ‘Mom, I’m going to commit here,’” Duke said.“His mom said, ‘No no no, you’ve got to make all your visits and everything,’ and he said, ‘Mom, I love it here. I love Ames, I love this campus, I love this coaching staff, I want to commit here.’” Jared officially committed shortly afterward in May 2010. Duke and his wife, Laura, were in attendance to watch their son become only the fifth quarterback in ISU history to
lead their team to victory in their first-ever start, making the moment more sentimental for both of them. However, Duke made sure to remind Jared of what he felt was most important following the win. “I told him before he got on the bus from Lubbock, ‘You get on this bus, head back to Ames and you enjoy this win with your football team,’ but when you hit practice on Sunday, it’s all about KU,” Duke said. “That’s the perspective I want him to have on it.”

Apple cider By Steph Ferguson AmesEats Flavors writer
Warm apple cider is the perfect refreshment at a cool, fall tailgate, especially during a morning game. Take a moment to make this drink your own and impress your friends. They'll think you slaved for hours to create something that tastes just as good as something from the orchard. You’ll need a base for your cider. You can buy cider at the store that has a mild flavor, like Old Orchard. If you want a more flavorful base, you can find apple ciders from orchards at stores like Hy-Vee and Wheatsfield. These typically have a stronger flavor and don’t

need as many spices or time added into the mix. The downside to buying cider from an orchard, though, is that it is typically more expensive than commercial cider. It’s up to you how you want your cider to turn out. Cider can take on the flavor of almost anything, so don’t be afraid to try something crazy. Cut up fruit like oranges, peaches or even more apples. Place your favorite type of tea bag into the pot while you’re heating it. Cloves, pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon are all good flavors to add to your cider. Here’s a starter recipe for some help.

BLT dog: If you’re in the mood for a little kick, try recreating the BLT. Use tomato slices, lettuce, bacon bits and either blue cheese or ranch to top.
Chicago dog: Some ISU fans will be familiar with the classic Chicago dog. To create your own Windy City dog, decorate it with a pickle spear, tomato wedges, relish, sport peppers, chopped onion, celery salt and mustard. Serve it in a poppy-seed bun.
Chili dog: If you have chili at your tailgate, make yourself a chili dog. It’s a fan favorite. Top it with onions, cheese and the optional corn chips to combine two things into one.
