Cyclones set for Pinstripe Bowl By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com The ISU football team is headed to New York City as participants in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl. Bowl officials announced Sunday night that the Cyclones will face off against Rutgers on Dec. 30 at Yankee Stadium. Coach Paul Rhoads said he and his team are excited about the

opportunity. “[We’re] thrilled to be going to the Pinstripe Bowl, thrilled to be going to New York City,” Rhoads said. “It’s going to be an excellent bowl trip for our football team.” Players who spoke with the media Sunday night said they’d never been to New York and are as excited to experience the city as they are play in the game.
“There’s a lot of things that I wanna see when I’m there,” said senior left tackle Kelechi Osemele. “It’s gonna be tight to see the Big Apple.” Rhoads said he anticipates his players being well-prepared to handle the weather conditions, which figure to be cold. Linebacker Jake Knott said on Sunday night that in the end, it really doesn’t matter to the players.
“I think we look forward to any type of weather games,” Knott said. “I think we even play better in the cold. I think it plays to our strengths. The colder, the better for us.” Being in New York during the various New Year’s activities, there are bound to be plenty of distractions. Senior Ter’Ran Benton said he’s ex-

Leopold Center:
Final candidate Rasmussen to give seminar By Maia Zewert Daily staff writer Mark Rasmussen will be giving a seminar to conclude the search for the new director of the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at 2 p.m. Monday in room 8 of Curtiss Hall. Rasmussen received a Bachelor of Science in agriculture and a Master of Science in animal science from the University of Nebraska. He also has a Ph.D in dairy science from the University of Illinois and an MBA from Iowa State. Rasmussen serves as the supervisory microbiologist and director of the Division of Animal and Food Microbiology in the Office of Research at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Veterinary Medicine in Laurel, Md. He also teaches a course on animal health management at the University of Maryland. Rasmussen has worked at Iowa State, where he taught graduate courses on rumen microbiology and sociology. He served as a collaborating faculty member in the animal science and biomedical sciences department while working at the USDA-ARS National Animal Disease Center in Ames. A live stream of the forum will be available at the Leopold Center website. The seminars given by Abdullah Jaradat and Thanos Papanicolaou, are also available.

For the fourth time in six years, the Cyclones are heading to the Sweet 16. With last year’s upset loss to Creighton in the first round, ISU coach Christy Johnson-Lynch appreciates advancing just that much more. “When you get there three times in a row, you almost think this is something we’re go-
ing to do every year,” Johnson-Lynch said. “You forget that there are a lot of good teams in the tournament and if you’re off a little bit you can lose. “It does feel good. I knew we were going to have to really battle and play well, so I’m really
excited. And I’m just excited that we played well doing it.” After a weekend of back-to-back sweeps over UW-Milwaukee and No. 25 Miami, the Cyclones will be heading to Minneapolis to face the No. 13 seed Minnesota on Friday at the Sports Pavilion. Behind a career night from junior middle back Jamie Straube, the No. 4 Cyclones swept Wisconsin-Milwaukee last Friday in the first round.

A fashion museum in South America has shelled out big bucks for one of Amy Winehouse’s dresses, reported the New York Daily News. On Tuesday, the Museo de la Moda in Santiago, Chile, reportedly paid $67,120 for the dress the late singer wore on the cover of her 2006 Grammy-winning album “Back to Black.” The frock was created by fashion label Disaya, which loaned the U.K. size 8 dress out for Winehouse’s album cover shoot. Disaya has agreed to donate the sale proceeds to The Amy Winehouse Foundation. “In light of Amy’s untimely death Disaya has decided that rather than keep the dress stored away, it should be sold and the money raised used by the Amy Winehouse Foundation to benefit young people in need in the U.K. and overseas,” reads the foundation’s website.
Miley Cyrus posts OWS tribute video As former Disney darling Miley Cyrus deals with the fallout from joking she’s a “stoner” at a recent fete, New York magazine’s Vulture reported that she’s getting political. The now 19-year-old singer/actress posted a homemade video in support of the Occupy Wall Street protesters to her YouTube account last week. The peace-sign flashing teen set a dance remix of her song “Liberty Walk” to footage from Occupy protests, noting that her video is dedicated “to the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in.” As the Village Voice pointed out, Cyrus has received some negative feedback on her video, perhaps because the wealthy pop star is part of the 1 percent ... or maybe fans were just disappointed she didn’t use “Party in the U.S.A.”
Christian Bale on starring in China’s ‘Flowers of War’ Batman’s ditched Gotham City for the Far East. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Christian Bale, 37, is the first major Westerner to play a lead role in a Chinese film. The Oscar winner stars in the upcoming historical drama “The Flowers of War,” which is based on the novel “The 13 Women of Nanjing.” Helmed by heralded director Zhang Yimou, the film cost an unprecedented $100 million. THR noted that if “The Flowers of War” is successful, it could open doors for more American actors to star in Chinese films. The industry trade reported that the Chinese government currently limits the annual number of Western films to 20, but has a burgeoning film industry. Bale said taking the part of an American mortician who finds himself in the midst of war a “no-brainer.” “I like the adventure aspect of making movies, so the opportunity to work in China, not on an American movie, but on a Chinese movie, really appealed to me,” explained Bale, who recently wrapped his third [and final] Batman movie, “The Dark Knight Rises.” “The Flowers of War” premieres in China on Dec. 16 and will be released for just one week in the U.S. in late December.

WinterFest
Activities mark beginning of holiday season By Ben.Theobald @iowastatedaily.com
™
Wintery weather did not keep ISU students and Ames community members from participating in the WinterFest activities Friday. Despite freezing temperatures, activities such as the Jingle Jog saw a good turnout. The Jingle Jog is a 5k run dedicated to Andy Albright, a former member of the Freshman Council who died in an automobile accident in 2005. Proceeds from the race go toward a memorial scholarship that is in Albright’s name. Jacob Bowers, senior in agricultural life sciences and education, was one of many students who participated in the Jingle Jog. “It is a good activity for a Friday night,” Bowers said. “It keeps you in shape.” Chase Russell, sophomore in agricultural engineering, participated in his first WinterFest. “It brings a lot of people together for the holidays,” Russell said. “You get to meet new people and have some fun.” The Workspace, the Gaffers’ Guild and University Print Society had an arts and crafts sale at the Campanile Room in the Memorial

Union. “We are raising money for our organizations and local artists,” said Letitia Kenemer, fine arts program coordinator at the Memorial Union. “It is a nice mix of community and Iowa State.” For many of the students, WinterFest was an opportunity to begin the holiday season. “We just got done making Christmas cards for the Children’s Hospital,” Bowers said. “It was a good motivational way to start off the holiday season.” The event also was a way to blow off steam and have fun before the end of the semester. “It’s important because it gets the spirits up before Dead Week and Finals Week comes around,” Bowers said. “It gives students a little bit of a break before we start heading into our major tests.”

Careers
Tattoos raise questions on workplace acceptance of body art By Nicole.Gustafson Daily correspondent In a college classroom of 50 students, about 20 students have a tattoo somewhere, according to trends reported by the Pew Research Center. When those students graduate, they are entering a workforce that, for the most part, does not feel the same acceptance toward tattoos. Tattoos are much less prevalent in older generations and often come with a stigma. These older generations are the employers that graduates of universities such as Iowa State have to impress to get a job. “I think that maybe it’s just something they’re not used to seeing, or because they kind of have these stereotypes that people who have tattoos are irresponsible or maybe don’t
have a background that they approve of or think is appropriate for the work world,” said Taren Reker, Career Services coordinator for the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.” I think it’s just a lot of old stereotypes.” One solution young adults have turned to is getting tattoos in places that are easy to cover. The Pew Research Center found that approximately 70 percent of people born after 1980 that have tattoos got them in places that are not usually visible. “Everyone always told me growing up that, if I got a lot of visible tattoos, people could deny me jobs because of it,” said Shelby Leahy, sophomore in child, adult and family services who has three tattoos. “I didn’t find it very fair, of course, but I figure that’s how
the generation that’s running the business thinks, so I might as well get them in easily hidden places for the time being.” Other students are willing to sacrifice fashion choices, such as short sleeves, for more tattoos. Cole Nedved, junior in pre-journalism and mass communication, said he was not as worried about the possibility of being denied jobs because all of his many tattoos can be covered by a suit. “My dream job would be working for a rock station so having tattoos isn’t a big deal there,” Nedved said. Josh Alex, sophomore in pre-liberal studies, said when he started getting tattoos, he was not concerned at all about how they would affect his future career. “I went on tour when I was right out of high school,” Alex
said. “Everyone had tattoos and things like that, so that’s kind of what drew me to it. I hate to say, ‘Oh my friends were doing it,’ but everyone I was in a bus or a band with had tattoos, so I started getting them.” Alex’s career plan at the time didn’t cause him much concern about his tattoos. “I was never worried about that because then I thought I was going to tour for my whole life,” said Alex, who now wants to work for a sports agency. Nedved and Alex have both chosen to stay away from tattoos on their hands and necks for career reasons. Young adults now are getting tattoos as a form of art or self-expression rather than as an act of rebellion. “It might sound silly, but I think of my body as a canvas
— a billboard that advertises my creativity and personality,” Leahy said. “I really enjoy that I can take something meaningful to me and create something that I can always wear as a reminder of how important it is.” Alex agreed that tattoos are a way to show personality without using words. “I’m not a person that expresses a lot of feeling or anything, so I think that it’s an outlet for me,” he said. There is also a tattoo culture that attracts young adults. “I like being a part of something greater,” Nedved said. “Just being a part of that culture is great. You’re kind of being the minority, but that minority is growing smaller now.” Only time will tell if, in the future when today’s college graduates become tomorrow’s bosses, employees will be
hired regardless of any tattoos and not have to cover them if they wish. Nedved said the thought of hiring someone with tattoos does not phase him. “Having tattoos doesn’t affect the person you are as a whole, so I would encourage it,” he said. Leahy said she would actually prefer to employ the type of person who is open to tattoos. “I definitely plan to hire people without taking into consideration their tattoos or body modification in general,” she said. “I think that, from what I’ve seen at least, the people with the most body modification like piercings, colored hair and tattoos actually are more artistic and open-minded in the way that they operate.”

Charity
Volunteers needed for Giving Tree events By Cristobal.Matibag @iowastatedaily.com Organizers of the 12th annual Giving Tree charitable drive, through which food and holiday gifts are collected for Ames-area homeless children, are seeking volunteers to help at its final two public events this week. The first of the coming events will start at 9 a.m. Monday in the Gerdin Business Building. Food donated by College of Business faculty and staff will be taken to Conference Room 107 in Lab of Mechanics. At the second event, also set to take place in Conference Room 107, organizers and volunteers will wrap all donated gifts.
A new alliance This year, Giving Tree organiz-
ers from the ISU Faculty Senate and Ames Community School District have had a new partner: the AmesISU YWCA. The organization took over Giving Tree duties from the Ames-ISU YMCA chapter, which no longer exists. Angela Merrick, Ames-ISU YWCA executive director, said the drive’s success would depend on high volunteer turnout. “I’m hoping to see at least 20 to 30 volunteers,” Merrick said. “We need volunteers so badly, because it’s too much work for just our staff.” Merrick encouraged volunteers to bring extra tape and scissors to the wrapping event, as they probably will be needed. The coalition has been collecting gifts, food and cash for this year’s drive since mid-November, attracting donations with artificial trees at
four different campus sites. Placed in Lab of Mechanics, Hamilton Hall, Agronomy Hall and the College of Veterinary Medicine, each bore tags with the names of items children had requested. Organizers encouraged donors to buy listed items and place them around the tree for collection. “We have received everything from underwear and socks to bicycles,” Merrick said. “It depends on what the child asks for and what they need.” In a post-interview email, she estimated the value of all donated gifts and food combined to be between $15,000 and $20,000. Hy-Vee was among the donors that gave food, contributing 23 turkeys. Merrick said that even though official gift collection for the drive had

cited about seeing the city, but knows he and his teammates have to stay focused. “Well, it’s New York, you know. It’s gonna be fun,” Benton said. “We’ve just got to stay focused because I know there will be a lot of distractions.” Rhoads echoed his players’ sentiments about remaining focused, but wants his team to have a trip it will remember. “The most important thing to me is that the kids have an experience to remember,” Rhoads said. “At the same time, they’ll remained focused and take care of the preparation to win the football game.”
Straube hit a career-high .652, which is the secondhighest hitting clip in the postseason in school history. She had 15 kills and also added four block assists to go with that. “Our passing was awesome,” Straube said. “I just had the mentality where I was like, ‘Ya know what, I’m swinging.’ I just got that confidence and it

ended, volunteers wanting to donate further gifts could do so through Monday afternoon. The items collected will be distributed to Ames Community School District counselors, who will deliver the gifts and food to children this Friday.
Helping the homeless The children set to receive the gifts are drawn from a list counselors made earlier this year. Sherri Angstrom, ISU Faculty Senate secretary, said those on the list — who numbered more than 90 on Saturday — all met the school district’s criteria for homelessness. “We’ve had some living in cars,” she said. Angstrom said children categorized as “homeless” did not neces-

Jenson managed only nine kills on the night on a .179 hitting clip. Freshman Hannah Willms received the most amount of sets on the night with 34. Willms had 10 kills on a .147 clip for the match. She also managed a solo block and a block assist. In the second round, it was a defensive battle. After a slow start in the first set, the Cyclones surged to a 25-21 win and in set two, jumped to a 12-0 lead. The 25-10 second set score was the lowest in school history. In the third, it was all Iowa State, winning 2514. This Miami sweep marks

the 14th sweep of the season. “It’s just a good feeling when you find your rhythm again,” Johnson-Lynch said. “We were OK at times last night [against UWMilwaukee], it just didn’t feel comfortable. This felt comfortable and against a very good team.” The Cyclones were led again by junior Jamie Straube with 12 kills, a solo block and a block assist. The Cyclones as a team hit .328, which moves them to 11-0 on the season when they hit higher than .300. The Cyclones had two other players with double-digit kills along with Straube, Jenson with 11 and Petersen with 10. Defensively, they held Miami to a .087 hitting clip, which is a season-low for the Hurricanes. Miami boasts the ACC Player of the Year in Lane

sarily live on the street, but all lacked permanent housing. “When they classify them as homeless, they may be in temporary housing [or] foster care,” she said. “They may be with their families, but it may be in a temporary apartment. Lots of them are living in a hotel room.” Angstrom was confident that at least 100 children would benefit from the drive by its end. “A lot of times, the counselors will say, ‘Hey, we have a couple more families. Do you have any more money we can redistribute?’” she said. “In the ultimate end, it probably will be 100.” Angstrom said the volume of donations has demonstrated the generosity of ISU students, faculty and staff. “The people are just fantastic, and the spirit of giving is amazing.” Carico. Iowa State doubleblocked her the entire match and held her to a .000 hitting clip. “[Carico] is a tremendous athlete,” Johnson-Lynch said. “She was hitting against Kelsey Petersen and Tenisha [Matlock] the entire night and that’s a very big block. We anticipated a lot of shots from her and made it difficult.” After last year’s heatbreaker, the players didn’t take anything for granted in getting to the Sweet 16 this year. “I feel so blessed to be out there again and playing and experiencing memories like this with your team, you can’t beat it,” said redshirt junior Rachel Hockaday. “So after last year we’re not taking anything for granted and enjoying every single minute of every opportunity that we have.”
”I can’t ever seem Ames becoming a big city, it’s always going to have a small college-town feel.” Why people should vote for Jons: “I think I respect what ISU means to Ames. Because of that, I want to help ISU in any way I can and see them succeed. I think [the] City Council can partner with them to create a vision, whatever that vision may be. “Part of Ames’ job is to help prepare students for life as an adult. It’s our responsibility to help create a positive experience. The city has been on the university’s coattails for the last 20 years. It’s time to help each other out.”

Ames shops still in process of expanding By Morgan.Shepherd @iowastatedaily.com
The Loft and Duck Worth Wearing are still in the process of moving and expanding. The Main Street shops had originally planned to move in September but realized more time would be needed to accommodate protocol and procedures behind the Main Street Challenge
Grant. “We are now looking at having Duck Worth Wearing ready by February. We will then take about a week to transform the two floors of The Loft,” said Amy Abrams, owner of both consignment stores. Abrams also plans to make her shops more ecofriendly during the move.

Editorial
Consider all of candidates’ past actions Dead Week is here. Normally that would mean we would trot out another editorial about your need as students to exert some effort. Or it could mean we’d chastise all the professors whose courses violate the guidelines about homework and exams during Dead Week. But that would be cliche. If you don’t know that you need to actually try this week, we’re not the ones to tell you. So here’s something that might actually matter: Herman Cain is no longer running for president. Saturday, he suspended his campaign amid allegations of inappropriate sexual advances and a 13-year affair. Whether true or not, it was clear that the possibility of truth was becoming an enormous drag on his campaign. We cannot support any candidate with such a past, even if he has good ideas. We prefer to examine records more holistically instead of forgetting everything before the recent past. How individuals have acted in the past points to how they will do so in the future and, even if that is private, it is always relevant if it spills over into public life. Given that assessment, we think it unfortunate that other candidates, such as Newt Gingrich, have not fallen under similar scrutiny. While members of the media are right to examine aspects of candidates’ personal lives that spill over into public effects, they should do so fairly. The moral shortcomings of Gingrich are nothing new. Allegedly he visited his first wife while she was in hospital to discuss the terms of their divorce. Six months after her death, he remarried. While still married to his second wife, he began an affair with his current wife. We notice among this election cycle’s Republican candidates, there is a strong bent to idealism. That idealism does not, however, seem to encompass personal morals. Whenever they are discussed, it is only because they are newly surfaced charges. That is the problem we face. Instead of examining candidates’ whole records, we pick and choose what we like from the recent past. Gingrich’s political career, for all his talk about devising supply-side economics, helping defeat communism and leading the Republican Party to a huge electoral victory in 1994, his political career may very well have begun only a few years ago. There is little discussion of his private past, which constitutes serious baggage to some voters. There is little discussion of his and his party’s polarizing effect on politics in the 1990s, not yet undone. In the same way that studying the last two weeks of the semester will be no help for a final exam, scrutinizing only the last few years of a candidate’s life will not lead to a really informed decision.

Internet
Exercising unfair control H
ave you studied abroad during your time at Iowa State? I have, and I will tell you that it is an awesome experience to undertake if you have the ability to do so. I was part of a fairly expensive summer program in London, but in many cases you can be part of a student exchange and pay normal Iowa tuition when you study abroad. But enough of my promo for study abroad. I mention my international studies because I want to tell you a story about my time studying at Brunel University in the U.K. Now, if you’ve read my columns, you know that I’m a very tech-savvy student. I read technology and science news, I study computer engineering, I always check out the latest tech sites and tools (this week I got into Diaspora). So when I traveled to Europe, I figured that I could set up my little FTP (file-transfer) server with a friend back at ISU and free up more digital picture space on my cameras in London by sending already-taken photos (I took about 3,000) back home over the Internet. Easy, right? Well, it was not as easy as I thought. While Iowa State’s stance on file-sharing is that they don’t want you to share copy-written files illegally, but won’t filter the network to stop you per se, Brunel simply blocks everything you could possibly use to share files. So after we finally convinced them to let us on the Internet there, we couldn’t access my FTP server back home, nor any FTP server for that matter, and I was even stopped from following a link to a technology news story on TorrentFreak, a news site that covers file-sharing. Now, was I trying to do anything illegal by accessing my server back home in Iowa or reading about BitTorrent? No. I was just trying to stash some photos and keep up on the news. But this is the basic model. This is the type of situation that the Recording Industry Association of America and Motion Picture Association of America would love to see in every American home. And they’re working right now to make it happen, with the help of Congress. The PROTECT IP Act, or “PIPA,” was introduced in May in the U.S. Senate and the Stop Online Piracy Act, or “SOPA,” was introduced in the House last month. The agenda of both bills is to crack down hard on any type of online piracy of work created by companies in the United States. This is a very good intention and our work does need protecting, but the problem is that PIPA and SOPA have no carrot incentives, just a massive stick for rightsholders to wield. Under PIPA and SOPA, companies such as the RIAA and MPAA can ask the attorney general to take down a site that they allege is infringing their content

By Rick.Hanton @iowastatedaily.com rights. This means that all U.S. service providers must disable that site’s domain name (DNS), search engines must remove it from results, payment services must suspend payments and ad companies must break ties with the site within a week. This doesn’t mean that the site will be taken off the Internet if it is located outside the U.S. It will just be a lot harder to find and somewhat harder for them to make money. If these bills do pass, experts believe that individuals will simply find a way around the restrictions. Tools will allow users to circumvent DNS, users could find the sites on non-U.S. search engines, sites will use non-U.S. (and probably less trustworthy) payment services and ad companies. The Center for Democracy and Technology warns that DNS
blocking will likely take down legitimate sites, that social sites like Twitter and YouTube will be burdened with the new role of “copyright police” for fear of being put out of business and that innovation will be stifled with the increased risk of doing creative new experiments online. PIPA estimates enforcement costs at about $1 per American and for that $1, we’ll get our own version of the “great firewall of China,” the technological net between China and the rest of the world that the Chinese government uses to keep “bad” content out. Isn’t that awesome? So the question is, does this really help U.S. content creators? Once again, the RIAA and MPAA are trying to put the Internet rabbit back in the hat. The lawmakers, some of whom don’t use the Internet (i.e. John McCain), shouldn’t be regulating what they don’t understand. Recently, after conducting a study (how novel!), the Swiss government decided Wednesday that because they found that consumer spending on video and audio media as a percentage was in fact constant, not declining,
they would not alter current laws to make personal downloading of music and movies illegal there. That’s not the only study that has pointed out that “pirates” actually on average pay for more legal movies and music than everyone else. Studies have shown that many consumers use unpaid downloads as a discovery mechanism or a trybefore-you-buy, yet still buy their favorite music and movies to support the content creators. These studies note that for years, the record companies simply lagged behind the curve of digital adoption and now with iTunes and Spotify, are just catching up. But their inability to update their business model is no reason for them to declare war on the Internet and the Internet generation. I hope our Congress will see the light of reason and vote against PIPA and SOPA, otherwise our creative young generation and our economy will suffer simply to satisfy the whims of multibilliondollar record and movie studios.

Teaching
Balance technology in education D
id you enjoy watching PowerPoint slide after PowerPoint slide when you were in high school? Did you come to class each day with an unquenchable thirst for using any and all forms of technology that you or your teacher could muster? Yeah, me neither. I, like many other students at Iowa State, am in the teacher education program. Soon, hundreds of us will be out student teaching, and before we know it, looking for a job for next fall. One popular topic of conversation in the teacher education program is how we are to use technology in the classroom. Not only is there an entire course that teaches us how to implement technology in the class, but in nearly every other course, it seems, technology is tamped into us like an iron fist. We are constantly urged to use technology, and it seems that many lesson plans, no matter how successful, can pass or fail, grade-wise, according to whether technology is used. I may sound like a curmudgeon, but I am not ready to recklessly abandon the “old ways” of not using technology at
By Jacob.Witte @iowastatedaily.com every turn. In the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s, America had the greatest education system on the planet, hands down. Since then, and coincidentally enough, education has been declining rapidly and the availability and use of technology has skyrocketed. Although I know there are many other reasons for the decline of education, this connection, in my opinion, cannot be ignored. In my content area, social studies, I have seen no better way of learning than reading and discussion, primarily using a Socratic dialogue with students. Using the Socratic method challenges preexisting notions and helps to reinforce your own arguments. Having a class with a professor that is competent in using the Socratic method is integral to a liberal education. And the extent of technology that is needed for this great way of learning is a printing press,
which was invented nearly 600 years ago. I see little to no reason for using Smartboards, PowerPoints, laptops and tablet computers ad nauseum when it comes to education. I cannot say with honesty that I will never use technology, but I certainly won’t use it as a crutch. Technology is simply a tool to use with education, the same as chalk, slide rulers and compasses were decades ago. And I can guarantee teacher-education students did not have entire classes devoted to how to use chalk. One common justification for using technology in the classroom is that, essentially, “the kids are doing it these days,” meaning that because students use technology so much, we as teachers should basically just go along with it. I find this defense, frankly speaking, lazy. To just “go along” with what students are doing shows little to no creativity or originality when it comes to designing and implementing lesson plans. Using technology does have its place in education, especially in the disciplines of science and mathematics, as they help develop the technology that eventually
becomes common among us. However, using the latest and most advanced technology as a teacher will hardly win over students if you do not have the ability to relate to students and actually teach them things. A PowerPoint cannot help you have better classroom management, and an iPad will not make you more knowledgeable of your content area. It is really that simple. And while some technology can help students learn something, the chances are that saturating the classroom with it will soon become a problem. I am not advocating for boycotting the use of technology or loathing its very existence. Technology certainly has its place in education. I am merely saying that, as teachers and future teachers, we are charged with having to find a peaceful harmony in which technology can be used and student learning can occur. And student learning is paramount over whether technology can be used or not.

Letters to the editor
Jons’ election would give banks unfair influence Chuck Jons is not a reasonable choice for Ames City Council. Not while he remains on the Board of Directors of Ames National Corporation, parent company of First National Bank. That bank already has a board member — Jami Larson — on City Council. During the three-candidate race last month, I questioned this in the Tribune yet the Jons campaign offered no response. These bank directors receive more than twice the pay of City Council members. They advance the banks’ corporate interests and the private financial interests of stockholders. They approve loans. The issue was raised in a candidate forum. Some took the view that serving on various boards leads candidates to better understandings of local issues. Sometimes, maybe. But a bank board is not like the board of a charity, arts group or school district. Only the bank director has stockholders to please and gets paid to do it. Other board members are volunteers and have no private financial interests to advance.
Joe Rippetoe is a resident of Ames. Someone said on a comment board that it was OK to be skeptical of Wall Street banks, but First National, well, that was locally owned. Not really. Sure, some local people own shares, but the biggest shareholders include State Street Corporation, Blackrock, Bank of NY Mellon Corporation and Northern Trust Corporation. In the recent financial meltdown, First National suffered losses in Lehman Brothers securities. Are these names with a lot of concern for the public interest of Ames? The election of Jons could have a chilling effect on local public discourse. Would you ever question the judgment of our city fathers in a public forum knowing two of them had final approval on your next home or small business loan? No, we need to limit banking influence, not expand it. Say no to First National Bank influence. Say no to Chuck Jons.
US. foreign aid unnecessary, unsupported by Israelis, Jews “What if conservatives who preach small government wake up and realize that our interventionist foreign policy provides the greatest incentive to expand the government,” Ron Paul said before the U.S. House of Representatives on Feb. 12, 2009. It baffles me how conservatives who rail against the excess and waste of big government here at home, in particular its uncanny ability of mismanaging our money, still have this benevolent view of government when it comes to our meddling abroad. How can we with a straight face decry the welfare state (socialism) here at home, while promoting free handouts to other nations? Foreign aid to Israel often stirs controversy during foreign policy debates. As is often the case, the media prefers shocking sound bites rather than critical analyses in order to shape people’s opinions. We are to believe in this two dimensional world view that all Israelis cherish the idea of American aid. Many prominent Israelis — including economists Ran Dagoni, Yoel Bainerman, Alvin Rabushka and the late Rabbi Meir
Republican Party needs to extend patriotism to provide aid to needy I read in Tuesday’s Daily that the College Republicans have begun collecting sundries for U.S. soldiers serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. Why? Doesn’t the U.S. Army victual its soldiers? Don’t their families send them yuletide goodies? Aren’t GIs paid enough to buy what they need, and even what they want? “As Republicans we believe in charity,” stated Jeremy Freeman, a member of the College Republicans. Donating toiletries, boxed and canned foods, socks and beanies to U.S. soldiers who can already deodorize themselves, who eat better than the poorest Americans and who are gallantly garbed, is an eleemosynary travesty. Necessities should be doled out to people who really need them and who might get them if not for the hundreds of billions of dollars being

If anything, Republicans should sympathize with veterans struggling to find employment, a challenge that may daunt the discharged soldier, who might wish he had reenlisted. Soldiers are to Republicans as fetuses are to them: prized. But once out of the womb-like army, Republican solicitude for hapless veterans goes where extracted zygotes go. “We get to show the troops we still appreciate what they’re doing for us,” said another College Republican. What are they doing for us? Nothing. But against us they’re doing a lot: creating antiAmerican terrorists in the
countries they occupy. Said the same College Republican, “It can’t be fun to be away from your family for the holidays. As if American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan had been conscripted? They chose to leave home. Why do Republicans care so much about the military? Because the military-industrial complex is dear to their simplistic laissez-faire fantasies: a bottom-line patriotism that excludes the people at the bottom.
Brent Jackson is a resident of Ames. Kahane, as well as the Jewish Task Force, the Zionist Freedom Alliance, and the Manhigut Yehudit faction of the Likud Party — have long advocated for an end to U.S. foreign aid to Israel. These groups insist that Israel must develop her own economic strength and move toward more free-market economic reforms as a means of boosting national prosperity and strength. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that foreign aid may do more harm than good, and has proposed efforts to wean Israel off of American military aid payments. The Jewish Task Force states among its principles a commitment to: “An immediate end to all U.S. foreign aid, even to a genuine friend and ally like Israel, which is harmed rather than helped by her counterproductive dependency on America’s addictive welfare handouts. So perhaps Congressman Ron Paul does have a point.

Basketball:
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Handoff, redirection, fumble, ball game. On fourth-and-2 with a little more than a minute left in the game, trailing seven to Kansas State, Jeff Woody made the improvised decision to fumble the ball with the hope of an ISU recovery for positive yardage to keep the drive alive. However, the 232-pound running back’s desperation move went for naught as Kansas State recovered to seal the 30-23 nail in the coffin for Iowa State on Saturday at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. “We kind of had them figured out a little bit,” Woody said of facing the 27th-ranked rush defense in the nation. “We ran the same basic play on those short-yardage conversions and it worked 90 percent of the time. “It’s just that other 10 percent that they got the stop.” The Cyclones (6-6, 3-6 Big 12) had called Woody’s number all day to carry the run game, as he would amass career-highs in carries (24), rushing yards (85) and rushing touchdowns (two). “[Woody] really became a dynamic weapon in this offense,” said quarterback Jared Barnett. “Being able to bulldoze over guys and stuff like that, that’s just the type of player he is and it’s great to see.” On that anxious last play, Woody said the defensive line for Kansas State (10-2, 7-2) had “jumped the snap count,” anticipating Barnett’s cadence to effectively stuff Woody at
Cyclones lose seesaw battle to Wolverines in Ann Arbor By Cory Weaver Daily staff writer The ISU women’s basketball team traveled to Ann Arbor, Mich., to take on the 7-1 Wolverines on Sunday, but Michigan’s 11-0 second-half run topped the Cyclones for a 56-49 victory. It was a neck-and-neck first half, even though the Cyclones (4-2) struggled to find a rhythm from behind the arc, shooting 4-of-15. But Iowa State went into halftime down just two points, 24-22. Coach Bill Fennelly and the Cyclones came out of the locker room after halftime with an 8-0 scoring run before the Wolverines answered back with one of their own to bring the deficit back to two at 32-30. Sophomore forward Hallie Christofferson led the Cyclones with 13 points and had 10 rebounds as well to complete the double-double. Junior Jessica Schroll also contributed 12 points in the Midland, Mich., native’s home state return. Michigan turned Iowa State’s 12 turnovers into 15 points and combined with the 11-0 Wolverine run, the Cyclones could not mount a comeback in time to get the victory. Michigan’s Courtney Boylan led all scorers with 17, and the Wolverines improved to 8-1 on the season. Iowa State returns home Wednesday to face Iowa in the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

his point of attack. “That was not Jeff Woody’s fault,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads of the final play. “Jeff Woody had nowhere to run. Woody Jeff Woody tried to stretch the play, Jeff Woody tried to make something happen and then Jeff Woody smartly fumbled the football backwards to give us a chance. Otherwise, he’s
down.” For Rhoads, the pieces were in place on that last play to convert the routine short-yardage play, but it all came down to execution. “It was fourth-and-2 and if I’m on the other side, I’m probably thinking, ‘They’ve got four wide receivers out here, they can’t run the ball in this group,’” Rhoads said. “We had a look we should have effectively blocked and converted that first down and we didn’t get it done.”
After having spent the first five games of the season with no more than four carries per game, Woody proved that his blue-collar demeanor did not change a bit with an increased number of carries down the latter stretch of the season. “Jeff is a hard runner, he’s been a hard runner since he got here,” said right guard Hayworth Hicks. “He comes in, he runs hard, he’s going to be a big asset to the Cyclones in the future.”

MANHATTAN, Kan. — There’s a reason ISU coach Paul Rhoads’ name is penciled in on offseason coaching candidate lists and that his name was trending worldwide on Twitter during the fourth quarter of Iowa State’s regular season finale at Kansas State. Like a poker savant who slyly pushes all his chips into the pot, Rhoads has become known nationally as a head coach who is not afraid to take a chance to win football games. So was the case Saturday afternoon. With his team facing a fourth-and-8 down 23-20 with just under 10 minutes remaining in the game, the Cyclones dialed up a fake punt from their own 36-yard line. Sophomore punter Kirby Van Der Kamp followed the offensive line trio of Kyle Lichtenberg, Jacob
Gannon and Carter Bykowksi around the left end, stutterstepped and Rhoads was taken down after a nine-yard gain, just enough to keep Iowa State’s drive alive. “I’ll say Van Der Kamp this, one of the best football plays I’ve ever seen was that play right there,” Rhoads said after the game. “Our kids hanging with the blocks, executing the blocks and Kirby patiently waiting then taking his crease and running like a football player.” The Cyclones tied the game with a field goal nine plays later but would not be able to answer a late Kansas State touchdown as they fell 30-23. The fake punt wasn’t

the only time the Cyclones dialed up an unorthodox play call as quarterback Jared Barnett found wide receiver Darius Darks on a 30-yard flea-flicker pass to give Iowa State a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. “I’m ready to score,” Barnett said when asked about his reaction to the play call. “I saw the flea flicker was
called and looked out there and saw that Darius was out there. It was no problem, just catch it and throw it and he went up and made a great play for me.” That Van Der Kamp picked up his third career first down on a fake punt or that Barnett was unfazed by the play call can be attributed to the “all-in” mentality
that Rhoads has challenged his players to adopt this season. “We love doing these things,” Van Der Kamp said of the fake punt. “It makes me nervous for sure, but it makes the game exciting and we execute greatly, and I have faith in my blockers up front, so I enjoy it.” Sometimes the risks have paid off — such as the fake punt Saturday or a successful onside kick against Oklahoma State — and other times they haven’t, as was evidenced on a failed two-point conversion against Nebraska in 2010. But, regardless of the outcome, Rhoads’ players look forward to seizing the opportunities their coach presents. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” said sophomore running back Jeff Woody. “He gets a feel for it because he’ll look each player in the

Controversy surrounds Cy-Hawk dual By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com The scoreboard at Hilton Coliseum froze, two wrestlers nearly pinned each other in the same period of a match and another wrestler won with twotenths of a millisecond of riding time advantage. It was not just another rivalry dual meet between Iowa and Iowa State for ISU coach Kevin Jackson, whose team lost 27-9 to its top-ranked rival on Sunday. “For some reason, it just wasn’t the ‘normal’ Iowa-Iowa State match where you just get all-out battles,” Jackson said. “But at the same time, we didn’t compete to the best of our ability.” At the beginning of the meet during Ryak Finch’s 125-pound match against No. 1 Matt McDonough, the video board with the scoreboard of the match scoring and team scoring had frozen, causing event staff to improvise while trying to solve the problem. The problem would not be fixed until the fivematch intermission after the Hawkeyes (4-0, 1-0 Big Ten) had railed off five straight victories against the inexperienced Cyclones (0-6, 0-2 Big 12). “This was a very unique dual meet to me,” said Iowa coach Tom Brands. “The way that just things went with the clock and certain things going on and how we were talked to by the referees before the start of the meet. It was just something that was very bizarre to me.” Brands said he would not elaborate on what he considered to be “bizarre,” but did say he was not sure if all of the controversy was about wrestling. The Cyclones would find their first victory of the meet in the 165-pound match, where No. 5 Andrew

Beard, ranked 15th, maintained the riding time advantage over Wegner by two-tenths of a millisecond to win his match 10-9, but the Cyclones fell to No. 1 Iowa 27-9.
Sorenson beat No. 15 Mike Evans in a 4-3 decision. Sorenson, the team captain, said the match was frustrating for him. “I just didn’t get my attacks off and I didn’t move my hands and feet as well,” Sorenson said. “Mostly, he slowed me down in the early periods because he was trying to keep distance and then he decided he wanted to try to wrestle the third period.” It was the third period where an escape by Evans from the bottom position made the score 4-3, where he then tried to notch his first takedown of the match for the lead. Hawkeye fans wanted a stalling call on Sorenson, who was warned for stalling with 26 seconds remaining in the match, but never got one as
he pulled away with the victory. Brands appealed to the head table, which led to the deduction of a team point from Iowa — which had led 22-0 before that match. “Can’t approach the table,” Brands said of what he was told about the deduction. “You can’t approach the table. You’re handcuffed, you’re sitting on your hands and it needs to be more about the wrestling.” At 197 pounds, a back-and-forth between Iowa State’s Cole Shafer and Iowa’s Tomas Lira got the crowd of 7,616 to its feet, as both wrestlers had each other grappling for a pin and nearly succeeded in doing so. Shafer and Lira’s scrambles, however, resulted in a 6-6 tie at the end of the first period with each wrestler being awarded a three-point nearfall for their troubles. Lira’s conditioning proved to be the factor in ending the Cyclones’ three-match win streak, emerging victorious in the 10-6 decision against Shafer.

Lindenwood deals Cyclones pair of close losses By Clint.Cole @iowastatedaily.com

eye and he’ll get a feel that says, ‘You know what, we’re feeling it, we have confidence, we know we’re going to go down and down this.’” Following the game, Rhoads brought up the fact that his team, while the most talented he’s had in three years, is not yet talented enough to “blow out” teams just yet, so sometimes taking a risk or two is needed in helping increase the Cyclones’ shot at picking up a win. “[Kansas State] is the No. 11 team in the BCS and with [1:07] to go, we’re driving down to tie the game and send it into overtime,” Rhoads said. “Last week’s team was No. 1 in the country seven weeks out of the season and we held them to season lows and did some things that other people haven’t done. “I’m really excited about the direction of our program and most excited about one more game left to play in this season.” The Cyclones (6-6, 3-6 Big 12) will play their final game of the season on at 2:20 p.m. Dec. 30 in the Pinstripe Bowl in New York City against Rutgers (8-4, 4-3 Big East).
“He’s got a big motor and he just goes and goes and goes,” Brands said of Lira. “We’ve just got to keep him going in the right direction.” In the 184-pound match, 15th-ranked Boaz Beard was taken down by Vinnie Wagner with 20 seconds remaining in the match to knot the score at 9-9, threatening his ridingtime advantage of 1:19. Beard was unable to escape before the horn sounded, but the head table found that he had maintained two-tenths of a millisecond of his riding time advantage at the buzzer.

The No. 7 ISU hockey team came away from two games this weekend still looking for a way to beat Lindenwood. The No. 4 Lions swept the Cyclones in a twogame, closely fought set. On Friday, the Cyclones lost in a shootout by a final score of 4-3, and on Saturday, Iowa State fell 2-1. Both teams were swept at home last weekend, and as a result both teams dropped in the rankings. The Cyclones were No. 5 last week and the Lions were No. 3 last week. After Saturday’s game, coach Al Murdoch made a prediction. “I told the players that if I were a betting person, we’ll see them four more times,” Murdoch said. “Two more in league play down at their rink, Central States tournament, and national tournament. “My prediction is that we’ll beat them in the finals at the national tournament.” Murdoch said the Cyclones will “get them when it counts.” The Cyclones haven’t beat Lindenwood since they swept the Lions in Ames during the 2008-2009 season. The losing streak to

“I know when I looked up at the clock when he called a takedown that it looked like we still had an opportunity to keep up our riding time whether we still had 20 seconds or not,” Jackson said. “It didn’t feel the same as I’ve experienced some other matches and I don’t know why.”

Lindenwood includes the 2009-2010 ACHA National Championship, which the Cyclones lost 2-0. On Friday night, the Cyclones were down 3-2 in the final minute and were looking for a goal. After Murdoch called a timeout, freshman forward James Buttermore delivered the tying goal with no time left on the clock. With just seconds left on the clock, the game plan according to Buttermore was to get the puck to the net and look for a rebound, and it couldn’t have worked out any better for the Cyclones. “We needed that enthusiasm the whole game instead of just in the last minute,” Buttermore said. “It was really nice to get that tying goal and still have a chance to win the game.” On Saturday night, the Cyclones played another close one but once again came up just short. They scored the first goal of the game for the second night in a row. Sophomore forward Jon Feavel scored the Cyclones’ only goal in the first period. After the pair of losses, Iowa State is now looking ahead to a pair of exhibition games against the Maple Grove Energy of the Minnesota Junior Hockey League on Friday and Saturday night in Ames.
