State Gym prepares to open

State Gym will be open for business when students return to classes in the spring. The official opening time will be 6 a.m. Jan. 9.

“For the most part, all major construction is getting close to completion,” said Mike Giles, director of Recreation Services. “But there’s some finalization of electrical work, trim and painting left. Based on the fact that we know that we’re opening on Jan.

Those storming the facility at the crack of dawn opening day can look forward to a 40-foot climbing wall in the foyer that features 10 belaying ropes, a climbing cave and a bouldering wall on the backside.

Immediately following the rock wall is the recreational pool area. The 190,000-gallon pool is complete with diving boards, three swimming lanes, diving boards and is capable of hosting a number of water sports including basketball and polo.

Regardless of how the team approaches its opening-round bout of the NCAA tournament against Wisconsin-Milwaukee, it’s

Celebration to include sales, carriage rides

By Ben Theobald Daily staff writer WinterFest will kick off Friday with a number of events and activities. Some of the events and activities will include an arts and crafts sale, a carriage ride and a tour of the Campanile.

About 2,000 to 3,000 students are expected to attend this year’s WinterFest.

George Micalone, Memorial Union coordinator, believes the event will be an opportunity for students to experience the campus a little bit one last time before the end of the semester.

“The students and the community can come together and enjoy the different types of activities,” he said.

Romer pegs policies to solve crisis Former economic adviser names keys to ending recession

By Katelynn.McCollough @iowastatedaily.com “The key message of my talk this evening is, I think that when it comes to economic policy ... ideas about how the economy works are just a key determinate of policy actions and the success of a policy depends on the soundness of the ideas,” said Christina Romer on Thursday in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union.

“And that has certainly been true of the policy response to the Great Recession,” she said.

Romer was the former chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers, a position she had from January 2009 to September 2010. In that position, Romer was one of four economic principals who met with President Barack Obama frequently to work toward solutions to solve the Great Recession.

Romer’s speech focused on three different policies that have a major effect on solving our nation’s current economic crisis.

“Monetary policy, housing policy and fiscal policy actions have all had their roots in the prevailing economic ideas,” Romer said.”The policy responses have been most successful when the ideas behind them are based on strong empirical evidence and careful economic theory.”

Throughout the speech, Romer discussed the plans put in place for each of these policies, and how she felt that many of the ideas did help slow the economic free fall that the country found itself in at the start of the Great Recession in 2007 following the collapse of Lehman Brothers. She also believes that “the Fed” has more recently become less aggressive in working to-

Leopold Center

Candidate presents ‘road map’ for center

By Maia.Zewert @iowastatedaily.com Thanos Papanicolaou presented his future plans for the Leopold Center of Sustainable Agriculture during a public conference Thursday afternoon.

Papanicolaou is one of three hopefuls vying for the vacant director position at the Leopold Center. He currently serves as a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Iowa. As a part of his research on lessening the impact of soil erosion, Papanicolaou began the

Clear Creek Watershed Initiative in eastern Iowa.

Papanicolaoua’s presentation focused on restoring land to the quality it used to be before soil erosion occurred. By using technology such as sediment tracers, Papanicolaou was able to isolate soil’s origins, travel times, and erosion-prone areas to isolate problem areas.

“We can be both creative and innovative,” he said of the process.

Papanicolaou also presented his “road map to success,” an outline of

Demonstrators educate citizens on puppy mills outside Ames shop

Dancer finds her place in Dub H Group protests Club to present against shop’s show in honor of pet purchases 10th anniversary Dub H, Iowa State’s hiphop dance club with more than 500 members, will present its Hall of Fame performance at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Stephens Auditorium.

The performance will celebrate Dub H’s 10th anniversary, as well as feature I.aM.mE., champions in the sixth season of “America’s Best Dance Crew.”

Sixteen student-choreographed dances will be performed by the Dub H dancers to highlight their passion and long hours of practice.

Tickets to their performance can be purchased through Ticketmaster, online or by phone, or at the Iowa State Center located in Stephens.

“My favorite part about Dub H is letting loose and dancing for fun. It is a great way to meet people and forget about school for a little bit,” said Natalie Skryd, Dub H members and sophomore in journalism and mass communication.

The Hall of Fame performance is when dancers get their time to shine, and they plan to take full advantage of that and please the crowd.

“I’m mostly excited for the show because of its location at CY Stephens, and the fact that it is a one-night only show means I have one chance to kill it,” said Jasmine Stovall, dancer and sophomore in civil engineering. “I love to dance, and I am definitely ready to

showcase all of the hard work.”

Audience attendance is also going to be beneficial to making the Dub H show a success. The dancers are looking forward to thriving off of the audience’s energy and making it a pleasure for all.

“People should attend the [Hall of Fame] show because we have a lot of different dances this year that are going to look amazing on stage.

Between the dances themselves and the music , our show is one big party,” Stovall said.

“It is going to be just as much fun for the audience as it is for the dancers.”

Not only are the Dub H dancers going to be giving their all for the crowd, but I.aM.mE. is going to perform.

“I have been following Phillip ‘Pacman’ Chbeeb since he was on ‘So You Think You Can Dance.’ Then when he

appeared on ‘America’s Best Dance Crew’ with I.aM.mE., I supported them wholeheartedly,” said Morgan Thompson, Dub H dancer and sophomore in child, adult and family services. “I am so inspired by another member of I.aM.mE., Olivia ‘Chachi’ Gonzales. She is my idol.”

The “America’s Best Dance Crew” champions share their passion and enthusiasm without hesitation and are willing to break outside the box when it comes to creativity.

“They make the coolest pictures when they tut, and their style is really intriguing,” Thompson said. “I.aM.mE.’s creativity within the choreography is something that really sets them apart in my mind.”

I.aM.mE. will not be alone when it comes to leaving their heart and soul on the dance floor for the audience to take

pleasure in at Friday’s Hall of Fame show. One characteristic that unites the A.B.D.C. champs and Dub H dancers and choreographers is that dance consumes their life and drives all other components.

Leah Mills, a Dub H choreographer and junior in anthropology, is motivated by dance.

She said Dub H has given her the ability to stand out as a leader and to share with others her fervor for dance. Mills’ passion for the hip-hop dance club takes forefront in her life and directs all other aspects of it.

“Dancing is like breathing to me. It is honestly necessary for me to function,” Mills said.

“My friends can tell when I haven’t danced in a while, if practice got canceled or something like, because I will be

Iowa’s Black Friday wasn’t just for the shoppers. Last Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., educational demonstrations took place in front of Dyvig’s Pet Shoppe.

Protesters for the organization Bailing Out Benji were at the store talking to citizens of Ames about puppy mills and the dangers of buying dogs when people know nothing about the breeder. The pet advocacy organization will be protesting outside of Dyvig’s Pet Shoppe in Ames every Saturday through Christmas Eve. Iowa has nearly 300 U.S. Department of Agriculturelicensed, large-scale commercial dog-breeding facilities, the second largest number in the nation behind Missouri. Each year, approximately 100,000 puppies are born in Iowa breeding facilities, with many of these puppies being exported to pet retailers across the country.

Nearly 4 million shelter dogs and cats are euthanized annually. Dyvig’s Pet Shoppe has disclosed that the puppies they sell come from Century Farm Puppies, a large USDA-licensed breeding facility in Grundy Center, Iowa. The center carries as many as 578 dogs on the premises per recent USDA inspection reports.

“Our ultimate goal is to get Dale Dyvig to recognize that partnering with a breeder is detrimental to the well-being of the homeless animals in Ames,” said Mindi Callison, the

Editorial

Without work, opinions have no significance At a campaign stop Tuesday in New Hampshire, Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, governor of Texas, asked for the support of audience members who would be 21 years old by the election. Considering that the voting age is 18, we hope he was not suggesting that he would only receive the support of the more inebriated voting population.

In all seriousness, however, the fact that voting is a serious business can never be stressed enough, and students should take advantage of a right other students were denied during times just as troubling as our own.

The 26th Amendment to our Constitution guarantees the right of legal adults to vote, even the ones who cannot indulge in drinking. That amendment was adopted in the wake of the Vietnam War protests that thousands of students participated in. To be so unengaged in politics that you never vote, know who the candidates are or know what the issues are this time around is to ignore the struggles of people who have gone before you.

On Tuesday, many students have an opportunity to vote in a runoff election for the Ames City Council.

Over Christmas break, the Iowa caucuses will occur. And while those of the Democratic Party will be less interesting, since they have a sitting president, the Republican Party caucuses, with their eight candidates to choose from, are sure to be interesting.

You have the right to vote because the students of our parents’ generation realized that this world, even the jungles of Southeast Asia, belongs to them just as much as it belongs to the movers and shakers who know more than them or the parents who raised them. They decided they needed to stand up for what they believed in.

And should you decide to vote, do so with some awareness of what you’re doing. Don’t walk into the voting booth hungover. Don’t walk into the voting booth totally ignorant of the names that will be on the ballot.

Don’t just guess as if voting is a multiple choice test. It’s not. It’s bigger than that.

The offices people run for, whether the policies they make get into the news or not, are important. From making parking regulations and property taxes to speed limits and road repair, city offices matter.

On our editorial adviser’s office door is a sticker that says, “Talk is cheap. Free speech isn’t.” That is true. Perhaps, more importantly, free speech is like faith: Without works, it is dead. For your opinions and words to have any meaning or existence in the world, you need to participate. If you decide not to, just make sure you don’t complain — you had a chance.

You have a chance.

Business

Education for profit?

Iowa State’s future in face of corporate sponsorship

T

he following is a “speech” given by an orientation tour guide of Iowa State University, Inc. around the year 2025.

“Welcome, students and parents, to this tour of Iowa State University, Incorporated.

The last few years have seen a rather substantial shake up of the former public universities of Iowa, but now that the university has been privatized, compartmentalized, streamlined and purchased in controlling amounts by various corporations, it is our firm belief here at ISU, Inc. that education in this state will be as stable, structured, and as profitable as ever!

“As changes are still being enacted all around campus, several things are not marked on the maps that are you in your possession.

First, as we approach the newly renamed Bank of America Building, formerly known as Ross Hall, we will see that it is now the center for financial aid and a student bank as well. It will also house offices and storage space from other departments on campus. Also, as we head up this walkway here, we can see Catt — excuse me, Wal-Mart Hall, which is no longer home to the former College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It is now an expansion of Gerdin Hall of Business that we passed earlier.

“Along those lines, for those students looking for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, you will have no luck finding it in the course catalogue. You are encouraged to enroll in the newly restructured College of Humanities, which is being co-sponsored by News Corporation and Koch Industries. These two wonderful companies jumped at the opportunity to fund the staff and curriculum of the College of Humanities, and we should all be grateful for their contributions.

“This year, we have some very exciting

By Jacob.Witte @iowastatedaily.com developments going on at ISU, Inc. First, a test plot of soybeans will be planted in the middle of Central Campus in the spring as part of a research initiative by Monsanto and John Deere. These companies, in part, purchased the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and also several acres across campus. So later this fall, students will have the great opportunity to volunteer to help prepare this land with the help from DOW Chemical.

“Another new development that we are pleased to announce is the partnership with Hunziker Real Estate and the construction of vast new apartment and dormitory complexes in the soccer complex and the softball fields across from the newly renamed Budweiser Stadium.

“Because enrollment has now breached the 45,000 mark, we feel that new living spaces must be made available. The groundbreaking ceremony will commence the first day of classes, and construction will be finished by the middle of the semester, so sign up for leases today!

“There are many facilities on campus that are here for you students, should you need help with health issues, technological problems, etc.

The Pfizer Health Center is now available and is located on the west side of campus. Should you have any health or medical concerns, or if you just want to pick up prophylactics in bulk, Pfizer will be there to help.

“Also, if you are looking for help with any computer or other technological problems,

Facebook Hall, located just west of the Barnes & Noble, is there to serve your needs. You can have all of your smartphone problems taken care of so you can get back to playing games during class in no time.

“We are also pleased to announce that every residence hall on campus has just been furnished with brand new television screens and the latest and greatest in video game and home entertainment technology, courtesy of Best Buy. Amazon has also provided the newest Kindles for your textbook needs; no more heavy books, and, better yet, there are even games on the Kindles too!

“Saturdays this fall will be even more exciting for youth in the Ames area. Ever since the NCAA was privatized several years ago, alcohol has now been approved for sale at sporting events, and thanks to the Iowa Legislature’s decision to lower the drinking age to 15, your socializing needs will be served with the expansion new tailgating territories after the destruction of the two theaters, Fisher and CY Stephens, at the Iowa State Center! Gooooo Cyclones!

“We here at ISU, Inc. are looking forward to the new potential that is at hand this year and for years to come. The possibilities for the expansion of the mind are limitless, and we feel that we can serve this need better than ever before.

“There is only one thing that the old style of education was missing, and that has now been solved. The profit motive is the reason that education exists. Not only does the mind profit, but so do the shareholders of all the companies that now own this great center of education.

It is really a win-win situation, and a situation that all will yield great results!”

Internet

Tweeting could mean trouble Social networks force us to define types of free speech

I

n a Big Brother-esque scenario last week, a Kansas teen managed to alert the watchdogs of Governor Brownback, who seem to have nothing better to do than watch for Google hits on the governor’s name that cast him in a negative light.

Emma Sullivan, a high school senior, was participating in a Youth in Government program where she was listening to the governor speak. She tweeted to her handful of followers that she “just made mean comments at gov. brownback and told him he sucked, in person #heblowsalot.”

Now, apparently she didn’t actually say anything of that sort to the governor and was merely joking around. Regardless, those at the governor’s office found her tweet so offensive that they reported her comment to the Youth in Government program, which resulted in her principal reprimanding her and demanding she write an apology letter.

Of course, in the days of the Internet, stories such as these can go viral quite quickly, with

By Claire.Vriezen @iowastatedaily.com the media coverage sparking a national conversation. After being blogged and re-blogged, Sullivan’s story had spread. All the attention resulted in the governor’s office admitting to overreacting and the school district dropping the matter.

With all the different social media outlets we have at our disposal these days, we’ve had to define how we should treat this type of speech and how much we must separate our public life from our personal life on the Internet.

Emma Sullivan isn’t the first person to come under fire for posting a controversial or disagreeable status to her Facebook or Twitter. But should these types of speech influence our school life or our jobs?

Earlier this summer, a Florida public school teacher faced disciplinary action after posting hateful anti-gay remarks to his Facebook page. While it was eventually brought to light that

his classroom syllabus contained overt references to his faith, had his comments simply been limited to his Facebook, he could likely make the same case as Sullivan did — his own beliefs and opinions that were expressed on his personal page are protected under the First Amendment.

In both of these situations, so long as personal views were not affecting any functionality as a teacher or, in Sullivan’s case, as a member of Youth in Government, there is little basis for disciplinary action.

It seems that people always forget that the First Amendment protects all speech — even, and perhaps especially, comments such as Sullivan’s, which criticizes a public official.

There is no question that Sullivan’s comments lacked respect for the governor. That seemed to be more or less the point of the controversial tweet.

But if we can no longer express our lack of respect for an elected official when we disagree with their policies and decisions, it is a sad day for free speech.

Students shouldn’t have to worry that personal, political or religious views they express on social networking sites could hurt their current leadership or

employment positions. Sure, you should be conscientious of what you say and who sees it, if you worry about future employers or schools viewing your opinions.

You also want to ensure that your personal views don’t affect your ability to act professionally.

With an ever increasing visibility through Twitter and Facebook, we should not have to fear punishment for our ideas and thoughts. While any real attempts to engage in disciplinary action for an individual’s personal remarks have been met with opposition from civil rights groups, we must remain aware that oversensitive politicians such as Gov. Brownback may just try and get you in trouble for disliking them.

Excessive prices don’t match service at ISU Dining Hawthorne Market and Cafe, the Fredricksen Court ISU Dining establishment that myself and my girlfriend frequent, has been virtually nothing but a hassle for us since its reopening this fall. The night of this writing, we ordered two meals online there to be picked up 20 to 30 minutes later. When we arrived at roughly the time the WebFood dining system implied would be on time, I walk in to pick it up and am told that it has been pitched due to it being unclaimed for more than 20 minutes.

While they would be happy to remake it, they are out of half the items I originally ordered and I would have to choose from other options.

As a senior in college who has bought into Iowa State’s meal plans for three years, I have had enough of putting up with the inconvenience; the ridiculous charge of $9 per meal, every meal, whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner; and finally, the apathy of the employees when one of their frequent order errors occurs.

Let me start with the $9 per meal charge.

tion tries to instill into you while you are here, $9 per meal is $27 per day, assuming you eat three meals per day. For that price, you could go out to eat three times per day for the entire semester and pay the same or less as a meal plan and receive better service, better food and better atmospheres.

When I have discussed this topic with friends and classmates, I have heard that ISU Dining’s position rests something like this: While the price is rather high, the service you get (such as cleaning up after you, preparing all the food, the friendly staff) is included in that; in effect, it is the price of the food plus a convenience charge. Also, the location of the dining centers is much more practical than driving to Duff or otherwise to dine at other locations.

Well, here’s my position. If you go to a restaurant (let’s pick on La Fuente, my personal

My point in all this is that just because you attend Iowa State does not mean you have to buy into the subpar service, often low-quality food and crowded, unwelcoming atmospheres of ISU Dining just because it appears to be “the most convenient.” It’s your money, and it’s your college experience. If you’re going to spend thousands of dollars on food, at least get the most bang possible for your buck.

Cultural studies could lead to better understanding Enhance grasp of other cultures on ISU campus

In response to “College education, worse?” I also feel that education has taken a turn for worse over time. I also feel strongly that many institutions should require successful completion of a cultural studies course.

I have taken numerous history classes throughout my education, including my years here at Iowa State, without knowing much about AfricanAmerican culture.

A year ago, I decided to take African-American and

Black history has been hidden over many years with

limited knowledge given to the public.

I believe that a cultural studies requirement will help many students grasp a better understanding about not only African-American, but also other non-Caucasian cultures.

A better understanding of cultures will enhance the relationships amongst many more students on campus and overall change the campus environment positively.

At the south end of the building are the A.V.-equipped multipurpose rooms and three full-sized basketball courts, circled above by the 1/8-mile running track. The facility also features a cycling room, a health food cafe, outdoor eating areas and a two green roofs.

The major challenge Giles sees in the near future is, in fact, an immense heap of tiny challenges. He’s looking to pound out the final details of the operation such as placing equipment, training for the emergency plans and the finishing details.

“For me, the next biggest challenge is to get all of the little things ready and prepared to go,” Giles said. “It’s easy to build an infrastructure like that, but now we’re getting down to the nitty gritty.”

The next step in the process is to increase the main facility staff to 100 to 150 new employees to the permanently operated areas.

“For the most part, we’ve hired enough people to open up the building,” Giles said.

“We have hired the staff that we need, we just need to get them trained.”

The construction side is looking good as well, said construction manager Rob Ebel.

Most of the primary construction is completed and they’re working on getting the facility cleaned up and making

“Its getting to a good point in the project,” Ebel said.

“We’re getting very close to the end, and we’re wrapping up the final details.”

“I think blocking and defensively they’re very good,” Johnson-Lynch said. “They do some things creatively with their offense that we don’t see a lot. They move their hitters around quite a bit, so that’s something we haven’t had to prepare for a lot.”

After last year’s upset five-set loss to Creighton, the entire team knows it can’t let that happen again.

She said that 22 of the 29 people traveling with the team became ill after the loss to the Blue Jays.

“I think as we were playing it started hitting us,” Jenson said. “Caitlin [Mahoney] didn’t even play after the first game because she was so sick.”

Not that a scenario like that is likely to happen again, but Jenson assures that they’re not taking any chances.

“We can eat our own food this year,” Jenson said with a smile on her face.

Romer has often been labeled as the optimistic member of the CEA, a description that certainly fits her demeanor as well as her speech.

frustrated and snippy. Dancing determines my mood and influences all aspects of life.”

Dance needs to consume Mills life in order for her to squeeze in schoolwork and other extracurricular activities, she said.

“My freshman year, I was only in one dance [for Dub H], and it wasn’t enough. I have to be pretty much enveloped in dance. It helps me manage my time,” she said. “For example, if I spend an adequate amount of time on dance on a given day, then I am able to actually sit down and do my homework.

“My freshman year, I tried to put homework absolutely first and it did not work. They have to be on the same level of importance to me; then I will get something accomplished.”

Dub H is not a love of Mills merely because it allows her to express herself, but also the message behind the club motivates her to be completely involved in it.

“I believe Leah’s passion for dance is almost as strong as her passion for life, because without it, I know her life would be drastically different,” said Michelle Condon, Dub H dancer and senior in business. “It makes her happy. She puts her heart into dance and into the club and is always willing to try and help her dancers.

“Whether you see her smiling really big on stage or dancing down the street with headphones on, you can tell, just by looking, that dance is so much more than a hobby for her; it is truly a passion.”

Not only does Dub H allow Mills to express herself and have improved focus and determination in other areas of life, but it also had impacted her for the better.

“Dance motivates me to get everything else in my life done. I also met my best friend in Dub H,” she said.

She is gracious to Dub H for throwing her into a whole new culture and style of dance. It has expanded her outlook on life and dancing, which is a big accomplishment since she has been in motion since age 4.

“I am not sure what I saw that made me want to do it, but I am so grateful for my 4-year-old self get-

what he hopes to accomplish if chosen as the new director. A few items on the list included sustainability of soil quality, increasing the carbon sequestration potential in rural communities and to pursue water sustainability.

Papanicolaou stressed the idea of cross-disciplinary conversations, pointing out it is best to get other’s ideas and points of view rather than to impose a standard.

“The best way to accomplish something is not through enforcement, but with dialogue,” Papanicolaou said.

To implement this, Papanicolaou would plan to meet with previous Leopold Center directors to learn from both their successes and failures. Beyond that, he would reach out to local farmers, state agencies such as the Department of Natural Resources and the Iowa Flood Center, national agencies such as NASA and the USDA, and also some non-government organizations such as Farm Bureau and the Iowa Soybean Association, two organizations Papanicolaou has worked with successfully in the past.

“We are asking that he start partnering with local animal rescues and shelters instead to offer adoption events.”

Callison continued to explain that although there are great breeders out there, none of them would sell through a pet store, online or in a newspaper. Reputable breeders care where the dogs are going and would do extensive research on the family.

“Pet stores are not allowed to ask where the pets are going. The breeders are just in it for the money,” Callison said. “These dogs are not ‘purebred’ and the only reason the price tag is so high on them is because the consumer doesn’t realize what they are paying for. It costs next to nothing for these breeders to breed the dogs.”

ting involved. I could have easily just not joined, and that really depresses me to think about a life that has an absence of dance,” Mills said. “I was involved in tap, jazz and ballet. Sixth grade I started pointe.

“I danced throughout high school and have kept going. I was also on my high school’s drill team, and I choreographed for that a lot. My freshman year when I started hip-hop, I was very unsure if I had what it took, but I realized it is what I actually excel at.”

Mills takes full advantage of her background in dance to inspire others. She shines when teaching others to do the “dougie” and her joy in music and movement is evident to those who see her.

“Leah’s dance style is very unique because it has that girly-girl feeling with major swag. She also puts

said the protesting doesn’t affect the workers because they know the store buys from a good breeder.

“We are trying to get along the best we can,” Dyvig said. “I’m not sure what they want, but I get to be the victim.”

Dyvig added that there are two sides to everything because there are good breeders out there and they are trying to meet somewhere in the middle with the protesters.

“We provide the choice to adopt a dog from a shelter or buy one from our store,” Dyvig said.

“We simply don’t have a big enough store to have adopted dogs.”

However, Callison emphasizes the importance of adoption, especially with regards to the potential fate of the animal.

“When you buy from a shelter, you are actually saving a life,” Callison said. “You are giving an animal a second lease on life.”

her awesome personality into her dancing. She can make any dance move look good,” said Kaitlyn Fish, Dub H president.

Dub H has become an integral part of Mills, and she hopes that the ISU students and the Ames community will share in her, as well as all of the Dub H dancers’, passion at Dub H’s Hall of Fame show Friday night.

“My life is one big dance party. I really can’t stop dancing. People in Dub H can attest to that, and my friends outside of the club can too,” Mills said.

“When I dance, my body and soul go to a place of pure joy. Reaching that every time is what motivates me. I also really like performing.

“I like entertaining people, and dancing is the best way I can do that.”

Football:

Texas A&M coach fired following 6-6 season

By Kristie Rieken The Associated Press Mike Sherman was fired as Texas A&M’s coach Thursday after the Aggies finished the regular season a disappointing 6-6.

Athletic Director Bill Byrne announced the move in a statement.

Sherman went 25-25 in his four seasons. He was hired at the end of the 2007 season three days after Dennis Franchione resigned.

His best and only winning season came last year when the Aggies won their last six regular-season games and lost in the Cotton Bowl to finish 9-4.

“I appreciate Coach Sherman’s selfless service to Texas A&M as our head football coach and his tireless efforts in building leaders of character,” Byrne said in the statement. “He is truly one of the great offensive minds in football, both collegiate and professional, and I know that he has much to offer the game of football in the future.”

Byrne said he will talk with the assistant coaches to decide who will serve as the interim coach for Texas A&M’s bowl game. He also hopes to meet with the team and remaining staff Friday.

Texas A&M is moving from the Big 12 to the Southeastern Conference next year.

The Aggies entered this season with 18 returning starters, a top 10 ranking and were expected to contend for the Big 12 championship and be a factor in the national title hunt.

NFL:

Vikings waive veteran quarterback McNabb

By Dave Campbell The Associated Press EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Donovan McNabb is available again. The Minnesota Vikings waived the 13-year veteran quarterback Thursday, giving him the opportunity to sign with another team for the stretch run in a parting coach Leslie Frazier described as mutual.

Frazier pushed for the Vikings to trade a sixth-round draft pick this summer to the Washington Redskins in exchange for McNabb.

He wanted stability he believed McNabb would bring to the offense after the NFL lockout kept rookie Christian Ponder from practicing with the team or working with his coaches until training camp.

Frazier and McNabb met in 1999, when the defensive backs coach and the first-round draft pick spent their first year with the Philadelphia Eagles. Friendly to the end, Frazier wished McNabb well and said part of the reason for the move was for the player’s sake.

“This was the best decision for both parties,” Frazier said. “He was a great player and has been a great player for our league for a long, long time. Have a lot of affection and love for Donovan.”

Farmageddon showdown Iowa State seeks role of spoiler in season finale

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Absent of a victory against its land-grant counterpart since 2007, the ISU football team is eager to play the role of spoiler.

With bowl implications on the line, the Cyclones (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) will travel to Manhattan, Kan., for the 95th installment of “Farmageddon” — the annual rivalry game against Kansas State — for an 11:30 a.m. kickoff Saturday.

“Kansas State doesn’t lose football games,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads. “They’re very sound, they’re very smart. They’re tough to beat,

even tougher to beat on their home field.

“As we continue to grow our program, there are a lot of things that I would describe of Kansas State that I would like to hear people describe us in the same matter.”

Fresh off a loss to No. 13 Oklahoma in Norman, Okla., Rhoads said his team’s confidence is akin to what it was after a bout of improved play in an Oct. 22 loss to Texas A&M. “We go into the month of December with an opportunity to get two more victories — a position any coach would like their program to be in here at the end of the season,” Rhoads said.

The No. 16 Wildcats (9-2, 6-2) come into the game with their main offensive threat — rushing quarterback Collin Klein — reportedly banged up down the main stretch of

the season.

The hits Klein has taken en route to his showdown with the ISU defense is not surprising in the least, though.

“Offenses normally want to protect their quarterback, but it’s kind of the opposite with Kansas State,” said defensive end Patrick Neal.

“But [Klein’s] a big guy, he’s bigger than most running backs, so I’m not surprised he’s been able to take the punishment.”

Klein is third in the nation among quarterbacks in rushing yards per game, averaging 92.1 yards per game.

However, Klein’s passing production is miniscule in comparison, ranking 109th in the nation in average passing offense.

In the Cyclones’ loss to Oklahoma, quarterback Jared Barnett was troubled

by the OU defensive scheme, which the KSU defense is believed to have modeled its game plan after for him.

“Essentially, [for] a number of snaps they rushed two defenders,” Rhoads said of the OU defense. “They played another defender at the line of scrimmage and then they spied with a fourth player.”

Rhoads said this was effective in making Barnett’s scrambling ability a non-factor in multiple facets of the offense.

Barnett rushed for only 21 yards — tied for his lowest rushing total since his debut in the fourth quarter of the Oct. 15 loss to Missouri.

“It’s a lot easier once you see a defense and see it’s easier to think, ‘OK, well, some of them are going to drop and they’re just going to drop eight,’” Barnett said. “But it’s

a different thing seeing it.

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.”

Iowa State leads the series against Kansas State 49-41-4 in the 95-year duration of the series.

Under the tutelage of coach Bill Snyder, however, the Wildcats have led the Cyclones 15-4 when he took over the program from 1989 to 2005 and resumed in 2009.

“Many legends of this game would argue that the job he did in Manhattan, Kan., had never been done before at any other place,” Rhoads said of Snyder. “I still marvel at what he accomplished there.”

Kickoff is slated for 11:30 a.m. and will be broadcast on Fox Sports Network.

Wrestling

Young team ready for rival Freshmen prepare to wrestle in spotlight

By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com When the Cyclones take the mat Sunday at Hilton Coliseum for the annual in-state rivalry with Iowa, it’ll be a new environment for most of the team.

No. 23 Iowa State (0-5, 0-2 Big 12) will send five freshmen to the mat against the No. 1 Hawkeyes (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten), meaning half the lineup will take part in the rivalry for the first time.

“I’m excited about this young team,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson.

“I’m excited about seeing them in this type of environment under this type of pressure, because that’s what it is.

That’s what we try to create in Hilton when we do host this event.”

Jackson said he expects Iowa coach Tom Brands to start the dual at 125 pounds, meaning the first five matches will be wrestled by ISU freshmen.

“It’s going to be a challenge for those first five guys for sure,” Jackson said. “It will be the first time they will wrestle in an Iowa-Iowa State match.”

Redshirt freshman Ryak Finch will start that string, facing off against No. 1 Matt McDonough, who won a national title as a freshman and placed runner-up last season as a sophomore.

Finch currently finds himself in a stretch in which he faces highly

ranked opponents in four consecutive duals. For him it’s a challenge, but one he expected when he decided to wrestle at Iowa State.

“You definitely have to approach it with urgency,” Finch said. “But that’s why I came to Iowa State — to have runs like this.”

While the rivalry with the Hawkeyes — which is in its 78th year — is big in the state, senior Andrew Sorenson said the team tries to treat it like any other dual.

“You can’t hype it up too much,” Sorenson said.

“You have to do the same training and the same stuff you do every other week.”

But even while trying to block it out, the prospect of wrestling in front of a packed crowd at Hilton is exciting.

“The greatest part about this dual is there are going to be 14,000 fans in the stands,” Sorenson said. “I’m always excited to get up in front of a big

crowd — it always fuels you.”

That big crowd will present a new experience for half of the Cyclones’ lineup, but Jackson is trying to make sure his young team is ready for the spotlight.

“Either you get prepared for it and you get mentally set for it and visualize it, or you get rolled over in it,” Jackson said. “No one wants to be embarrassed, no one wants to get rolled over in it, so I continue to tell them that.”

While most ISU students were home enjoying turkey on Thanksgiving, the Cyclone hockey team spent the day traveling and practicing.

Iowa State (16-4-1-2) won two of three in the Michigan-Dearborn Holiday Classic last weekend.

Coach Al Murdoch said the week without classes really helped on the ice.

“I’ve seen the difference in the players this week that they were fresher and more alert this week than during classes prior to the break,” Murdoch said. “I think the break refreshed them academically and hockey-wise.”

Murdoch said his players have gotten over the hump of mental lapses — something that plagued his squad last year — resulting in a sub-par fin-

ish and no invite to the playoffs.

But gaining that full attention doesn’t always happen. First-year assistant coach Kyle Murdoch McDonald, who runs the practices, yelled at players during Wednesday’s practice after what Brandon Clark called a “lapse in focus.”

“It was just trying to get our minds fully into it,” Clark said. “We all have busy days with school and we haven’t had a lot of time off, so our minds float a little bit.”

The Cyclones came back at 1 a.m.

Monday after their weekend trip.

Murdoch, a staunch supporter of academics before athletics, said he knows that philosophy is a challenge but wants to maintain the focus of his players on the ice.

“I want players coming in here

[for practice] and leaving the excess baggage at the door,” Murdoch said.

“Once they enter the locker room, it’s hockey time.”

Iowa State will have a three-week break after two December home series, the first being against rival Lindenwood. The Lions (12-0-5) are currently ranked No. 3, but senior Brian Rooney said the Cyclones match up well.

“Our team dynamics are very similar to theirs,” Rooney said. “We typically get players from the same league as them. They have a lot of Canadians, we have a lot of Canadians. I think it’s one of the most even matchups we’ll have all year.”

Lindenwood is coming off being swept at home at the hands the Oklahoma — a team the Cyclones split with earlier in the season. Murdoch said he likes his chances against the Lions, thanks in part to the three-man rotation between the pipes.

“I think our goaltending is the strongest it’s been all season, and it’ll need to be against Lindenwood,” Murdoch said.

The Cyclones play two games at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena this weekend. The first starts at 7:30 p.m.

Friday.

Women’s basketball

Loss teaches team lesson

By David.Merill @iowastatedaily.com Penn State taught the ISU women’s basketball team a lot of things by handing it a 66-59 loss in Reno, Nev. In that contest, Iowa State learned that the level of competition has taken a step up.

Iowa State (4-1) isn’t expecting anything less in its next contest against Michigan (7-1) on Sunday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Michigan features an offense that is tough to simulate in practice.

“Their system with the motion offense is hard to imitate in practice,” said ISU assistant coach Jody Steyer. “We’re big into scouting reports, so that makes things kind of tough.

Defensively, they help real early and put pressure on certain spots. It will be a big test.”

Senior g u a r d Courtney Boylan is leading the Wolverines in scoring to Williamson start the season, averaging 15 points per game. She is also shooting 6-for-15 from behind the arc during that same stretch.

Boylan is helped out by junior center Rachel Sheffer, who is averaging 12 points per game.

The Cyclones have seen production out of junior forward Chelsea Poppens and freshman forward Brynn Williamson.

Turnovers have been the Achilles’ heel of the team in the past couple games and the players know that has to be corrected quickly.

“Turnovers and fouling and missing our free throws were our main problems during the Thanksgiving tournament,” Poppens said. “Those are just some things that we’re going to have to work on.”

and has three double-doubles so far.

Injuries are another concern the Cyclones are facing, as senior Lauren Mansfield suffered a sprained ankle in practice early in the week. She is doubtful against Michigan.

Williamson also discovered a wrist injury after the Reno Invitational and her appearance against Michigan is also in jeopardy.

This would be a setback for the Cyclones because the Kansas City, Mo., native showed she has been able to find her shot. She shot 5-of-9 from 3-point range in the loss to Penn State.

“When you make your shots, it gives you a lot of confidence,” Williamson said.

“Especially with my teammates behind me, they’re letting me know that they’re proud of me. The Penn State game was a big confidence booster for me because I found the rhythm and pace that I need to play at.”

The Cyclones could continue to be without starting junior Anna Prins, who has been sidelined for two weeks with a knee injury. She has been limited in practice throughout the week, but the coaching staff is hopeful she will play against Michigan.

Nonprofit reuses pillowcases for unique purpose

By Taylor.Hilsabeck @iowastatedaily.com Little Dresses for Africa is a nonprofit Christian organization that distributes simple dresses made out of pillowcases to orphanages, churches and schools in poor countries in Africa “to plant in the heart of little girls that they are worthy.” This program allows people to reuse a household item for a unique purpose.

Rachel O’Neill, from Brownstone, Mich., began Little Dresses for Africa after traveling in Malawi, East Africa, and noticed the little girls were the ones doing the most work for the families, yet had the least to call their own. She wished she could do something for the girls to feel special.

Five years later, the program has received dresses and donations from all 50 states. More than 500,000 little dresses have been distributed to 31 countries in Africa, as well as Mexico, Haiti, Guatemala and to children in need in the U.S. “When we are there, it’s not just about delivering the dresses. We are delivering hope,” O’Neill said. “We are there to teach, help provide nutrition and send joy to the families.

One experience of delivering the dresses, I was speaking to a widow through an interpreter, and she thanked me, saying that when she went to bed the night before, she did not know if her family would be able to eat the next day. That has really stuck with me.”

If anyone is interested in sending your own little dresses, they can be sent to Little Dresses for Africa 24614 Curtis Drive Brownstone, MI 48134 The dresses are then distributed among missionaries who routinely deliver the dresses to different countries in Africa.

By Matthew.Nosco @iowastatedaily.com Dead Week and Finals Week are right around the corner, and with them will come increased coffee consumption across campus. As students prepare to pay for their java, many of them will unknowingly be supporting better wages and living conditions for producers in developing countries as they purchase the fair trade coffee offered by ISU Dining.

Fairtrade.net defines fair trade as an alternative approach to conventional trading that relies on a partnership between producers and consumers. Producers receive a better deal for their products, allowing for improved wages and quality of life. Fair trade standards also are designed to protect and benefit the employees of producers, guaranteeing them the right to join trade unions, safe health standards and adequate housing where relevant.

Kristi Patel, assistant director of campus dining services, said that ISU Dining chooses to support fair trade offerings due to customer demand, more availability of fair trade products and the fact that fair trade products follow and endorse good social and environmental standards.

Nancy Levandowski, director of campus dining services,

said the move to incorporate fair trade products into their selection was pushed in part

by ActivUs several years ago.

According to its website, ActivUs is a student organization on campus that is committed to achieving environmental and social justice on the ISU campus for both current and future generations.

In recent years, the group has advocated for the removal of plastic water bottles from Dining Services’ stores and has sought a commitment to reduce and eliminate coal power at Iowa State.

ISU Dining purchases

least 30 percent over fair trade prices when purchasing their beans.

ISU Dining carries fair trade coffee and espresso by the Roasterie at the Bookends, Business, Courtyard, Gentle Doctor and the Memorial Union Market cafes. These locations also sell Numi Teas, which have half of their tea blends and 80 percent of their raw ingredients fair trade certified. In addition, the MU Market and Cafe carries Alto Eco Chocolates and Steaz Energy.

Time for a Change?

Pillowcase dress directions: Any size pillowcase will work.

Cut the sewn end of the pillowcase top off, leaving the hem.

Fold the pillowcase in half and cut out the arm holes so they will be the same on each side. The measurements depend on the size of the pillowcase, but it’s about 4 inches down and 2 inches in. Fold down the top of the strip about 3/8 inches and stitch a casing. Slide a 6-inch piece of elastic at the top so it will be gathered.

Finish the arm holes with double-sided tape, leaving enough at the ends to tie at the shoulders.

Don’t be concerned about exact measurements. All sizes are welcome and variations are fine.

Men’s basketball

Cyclones prepare for similar challenge No. 14 Michigan, Panthers present same style of play

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com Following a seven-point loss to Northern Iowa on Wednesday night, ISU guard Chris Allen described the Cyclones’ next opponent, No. 14 Michigan, as somewhat of a “UNI 2.0.”

“It’s going to be a lot of preparation,” Allen said.

“Considering I’ve played against Michigan numerous times, honestly I feel like they’re a better UNI team because they run the same style of offense.”

The ball movement and multitude of screens that dictated Northern Iowa’s offensive success Wednesday night will be similar to what the Cyclones (5-2) will see on Saturday as they travel to Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on the Wolverines (5-2).

Allen’s familiarity with the Wolverines comes from his two seasons spent at Michigan State, where the Spartans went 4-0 against their in-state rivals, including two wins in Ann Arbor. Fellow guard and Penn State transfer Chris Babb

also saw the Wolverines four times, finishing with four threes and 14 points against the Allen Wolverines the last time they met on Jan. 7, 2010.

“They ’re going to run their plays and run the White [shot] clock out until the last 20, 15 seconds and then they’re going to start trying to advance the ball and try to be aggressive, so it’s going to be a tough game however you want to look at it,” Allen said.

While the Cyclones haven’t been held below 60 points yet, two of Michigan’s five wins have come when failing to reach the 60-point mark — 5933 against Fresno State and 59-55 against Western Illinois.

The Wolverines, who rank 37th nationally in field goal percentage while shooting 48.3 percent, have averaged only 66.7 points through their first seven games as they wear teams down with their halfcourt offensive sets.

“I don’t think it was nothing too complex, I just think that we didn’t talk it out like

we’re capable of,” said ISU forward Royce White of the UNI offense. “When we were down in South Padre, we played great team defense, and I think tonight we just had a letdown in that area.”

Like the guard trio of Anthony James, Matt Morrison and Marc Sonnen that combined for 43 of

Northern Iowa’s 69 points on Wednesday, the Wolverines boast three talented guards in their lineup.

Leading the group is sophomore Tim Hardaway Jr., the son of former NBA player Tim Hardaway, who averages a team-high 15.4 points per game. True freshman point guard Trey Burke (11 ppg) and
