Community hotly debates new facility
Senators seek impeachment Sunday
By Paige.Godden iowastatedaily.com “This university has not been transparent with this neighborhood,” said Al Jergens at a community meeting in the Knapp-Storm Madden dining complex. “As an ISU alumnus, I expect more than that from a worldclass land-grant facility.” The meeting Wednesday night facilitated discussion of the building of a sports complex and agriculture pavilion the university proposed to the Board of Regents in October. The proposed complex is planned to be built in the south area of campus, near the Wallace-Wilson residence halls. “I will be immediately across

An emergency meeting for Government of Student Body was called Sunday, in which Senators Dakota Hoben and Sean Morrissey raised concern that Election Commissioner Nicholas Davis had violated a bylaw. At a meeting this coming Sunday, GSB will consider his impeachment. The bylaw under review states
that the election commissioner needs to submit the apportionment bill to the speaker no less than three senate meetings prior Davis to the end of fall semester. “We initiated this process because it is required in our by-laws that two senators be the initiators of this process,” Hoben said.
“There is absolutely nothing personal in the initiation of this impeachment.” The apportionment bill is a bill that lets senate know how many seats of senate need to assign for each area. The Office of the Registrar gives the election commissioner data for all of the colleges’ enrollment and student residences, which he uses to calculate how many students are in each area so that senate can then
represent each area according to its population. Davis received a series of e-mails from GSB President Luke Roling at the beginning of October and throughout November, reminding him to complete the apportionment bill, according to e-mails obtained by the Iowa State Daily from Halley Stille, speaker of the senate. Davis sent an incomplete appor-

Local business
Old, new, vinyl, brew
By John.Lonsdale iowastatedaily.com It all started with love and family; then came the records, the basement and the coffee. Wooden crates separate the new, old and used records in alphabetical order, and the deliciously tempting aroma of coffee, homemade pastries and vinyl permeate the quaint space that is the Ames Vinyl Cafe, located in the Main Street Cultural District. If a person blinks while passing the cafe they might miss it. Having undergone renovations in August 2009, the cafe reopened May 5, 2010. The cafe is located in the brick building around the corner from the Ames Cupcake Emporium, formerly known as Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium. It can be found beneath the 5-foot vinyl record sign hanging from the side of the building and down a flight of

Students from the College of Design will be selling pottery, paintings and photographs to support the College of Design Art Club. Since 1994, Ingrid Lilligren, director for art and design, has helped students sell their artwork at the end of each semester to raise funds for the club. “The students receive 70 percent of the profits, and the other 30 percent goes to the club,” Lilligren said. “We usually make $1,500 to $2,000 during the sale. It’s a great entrepreneurial experience for the students.” Lilligren stated that the 30 percent that goes to the club helps the school afford guest lecturers and visits from artists from around the country. Lilligren donates to the sale as well, her contribution consists of art
she creates while teaching. Drake Tillis, senior in integrated studio arts, has been with the club for two years and is selling some of the pottery he created during this semester. “All the artwork goes for a pretty fair price,” Tillis said. “Plus they make great Christmas presents.” Jacob Marti, senior in integrated studio arts, has been president of the club since the beginning of the semester and organized this semester’s sale. “It’s really all about the students,” Marti said. “It’s a college-wide sale, and it’s not just pottery or ceramics either, although ceramics is the main focus. Anyone can sell their art.” The art sale lasts until Friday night, so if you need to do some lastminute Christmas shopping, or want to support local artists, stop by the College of Design lobby and browse the student-created art.
