4 study resources to avoid ruts By Rachel.Ori @iowastatedaily.com

Annie Edelman, sophomore in journalism, studies Friday at Parks Library. The library will be open 24/7 during Dead Week and Finals Week.
When it comes to preparing for finals, many students can find themselves in a rut. First-semester students, especially those coming to campus straight from high school, often don’t have the study skills they need to achieve the grades they need on their finals. It’s never too late for these skills to be acquired, however, and Iowa State offers numerous
resources to aid students with studying. Whether students are looking to enhance their own habits or learn some new ones, the resources they need are readily available: 1. Flashcards Flashcards are popular among college students. Whether they are physical cards or an electronic program such as Cram or Quizlet, flashcards can make studying 10 times easier and 10 times more fun. Flashcards are effective be-
cause they engage “active recall” within the brain, according to Brainscape. People who use flashcards make their brain remember the concept or term on its own, rather than willing it to memorize an entire passage of a textbook. This type of engagement will lead to more retained knowledge and less panic attacks when it comes time to take the test. 2. Quizlet Quizlet ranks at the top of the list for study sites. Quizlet allows people to make

their own study sets, ranging from flashcards of terms to entire practice quizzes. Not only can people make they own but they can also browse other students’ sets and save them to their study library. The sets can be found by searching for a subject or course, and hundreds of sets will pop up. 3. SparkNotes Students who are majoring in English and are required to read novels in their classes can use

Talia Jensen, an Iowa State alumna, has owned Portobello Road since its doors opened in 2012.
Portobello Road is a botique and decor shop on Welch Avenue. It first opened its doors in August 2012.
Portobello Road owner mixes fun with fashion By Abby.Patterson @iowastatedaily.com For many people, the work week never extends outside the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For Ames business owner Talia Jensen, dedication to her shop goes beyond general work hours. Jensen, an Iowa State alumna, is the owner and creative mind behind Portobello Road on Welch Avenue. Portobello Road is a boutique and decor shop that opened its doors in August 2012. Jensen grew up in Latimer, Iowa, a small farming town about 60 miles north of Ames. With a graduating class of 27 people, she decided to get away from her small town roots and attend Iowa State, where she majored in apparel, merchandise, design and production with a minor in entrepreneurial studies. “Now I understand [my hometown] didn’t have very much culture and life in general and I think that is why I was so interested in something that was outside of the farm,” Jensen said. “I suppose that’s why guys get into video games and why I got into fashion.” After graduating from Iowa State, Jensen moved to Los Angeles, where she received a job in visual display — moving things around to make them look visually appealing to clientele. “All of my friends were going out to [Los Angeles to find jobs] so I thought, ‘Hey, I’m a fashion major, I should probably go out to L.A., too,” Jensen said. Jensen knew she was doing what she loved, but she wasn’t in love with the city, especially coming from a small town in Iowa. “Once I got out to L.A., I could not stand the fact that I could not see over the mountains, which made me super claustrophobic,” Jensen said. “When you are out in the country, you can see all around you and it’s amazing. When you get out [to L.A.], there are mountains and oceans and buildings everywhere. Not the nicest people in general either.” Missing the Midwest, Jensen kept her love for the city in the back of her mind and moved to Minneapolis. She received a job at Trendy Home, a furniture decor store in the Rosedale Mall, and continued to do what she loved as a visual creator. “It was pretty much like running a store

Three local Iowa real estate investors have purchased the North Grand Mall after its previous owners defaulted on $37 million in loans, leading to foreclosure. The new owners are Brian Martin of Des Moines, Brent Haverkamp of Ames and Todd Millang of West Des Moines. The deal, finalized Thursday, was announced Friday morning. The three said they are excited to make investments in order to improve the property and bring new businesses, as well as customers, to the mall. “It’ll be an interesting learning experience for us,” Haverkamp said. “We’re trying to do it the right way and understand it and figure it out.” Martin and Haverkamp visited the mall Friday to answer questions and conduct interviews regarding the future of the mall. “We’re excited about the mall and we think it’s a great opportunity for investment,” Haverkamp said. “There’s a lot of people that want to get in here and because of some of the problems historically, they’ve had trouble doing that.” Elaborating on his partner’s comment, Martin explained what they believe originally pushed businesses away from the mall. “The prior owners — several years ago — we think they overpromised and underdelivered quite a bit to the city about what their plans were, which were very grandiose,” Martin said. He was quick to assure that he and his partners don’t want to take a similar approach and overpromise, but they have plans to deliver. “Our plans are going to be very exciting,” Martin said. “It’s going to create a lot of profit here, a lot of energy, which we think it also needs.” As a long-time Ames resident, Haverkamp said he understands the importance of the mall to the community and that it is a central retail place for Ames. “I’ve lived in Ames since 1985 and I remember coming here and shopping for a wedding ring for my wife,” Haverkamp said. He hopes to continue the feeling of community at the mall, as well as enhance it. While neither divulged the businesses they hope to bring to the mall, they are both excited for its future and the plans they have for it. “We’re going to work hard and learn and do the best that we can,” Haverkamp said. Martin hopes to bring about an exterior façade renovation, including general façade repainting. This, he says, will make the mall more appealing to those driving by. “Come out and see what we’re going to be doing,” Haverkamp said. “Enjoy it with us.”

ATTIC Local shop spices up Welch
By Morgan.Miller @iowastatedaily.com Grandma’s Attic, located on Welch Avenue, is often noted as one of the most unique and interesting stores in the Ames area. The small business started in 2004 and has continued to thrive since, as the products in Grandma’s Attic often cannot be found in a traditional clothing and jewelry store. The jewelry and one-of-akind pieces in Grandma’s Attic come from all over the world. “This store is really different and part of it is from the way it was when I started working here and the rest is just me throwing things around,” Christy Radach, owner of Grandma’s Attic, said.
Radach started selling her own jewelry in 1986 at a rock concert and loved the feeling of it — particularly because it brought others joy. She then started her own jewelry brand called Radical Rose and got a position working at Grandma’s Attic. “Campustown needs a place like this because it is more unique than the other stores in the area,” Radach said. Grandma’s Attic gets involved with Iowa State clubs by offering donations for any auctions or fundraisers that happen on campus. Many students from apparel design and landscape design can often be seen in the store searching for materials for projects. The products all have a story behind them and

often hold a unique significance. Some of the items were purchased at hotel auctions and local garage sales that Radach’s husband randomly finds. The products that Grandma’s Attic purchases come from traveling salesmen and other unique stores that are similar to Grandma’s Attic. The beads come from a seller in Montana who travels to countries such as Indonesia and China to get quality materials. The
stones the sellers bring to Radach have been cut specially, and she hand-selects the beads and stones for the store to ensure the best quality for her customers. “When people ask me where I get my stuff, I tell them it’s kind of a long story,” Radach said. Because Grandma’s Attic isn’t like traditional stores, the store tries to do business with companies that have good ethics and work closely with the people who make the jewelry
in other countries. She said she deals with a company in Minneapolis that actually works handand-hand with the actual jewelry makers in Guatemala. Because the collection of jewelry is so diverse, some pieces are made out of interesting materials such as corn and coconut. In order to maintain an ethical business, she tries to refrain from doing business with large companies and retail stores. “The goal is to not have
the same products as everyone else,” Radach said. The uniqueness of the store seems to attract people all around the Ames area. Grandma’s Attic offers walk-in beading lessons where Radach teaches customers how to make bracelets and necklaces and assist customers in making jewelry. She offers beading lessons to a large range of people, from children to the elderly, because it is an activity many people can get involved in.
Inside the Knoll: Visitors tour Leath’s home By Ally.Frickel @iowastatedaily.com People of all ages gathered Friday afternoon to take a look at the inside of the Knoll, the home of President Steven Leath and First Lady Janet Leath. Visitors admired the First Lady’s work of decorating the home for the holidays. When approaching the Knoll, a door greeter was there to welcome guests and inform them what the Knoll had in store for them Friday. Students in the President’s Leadership Class (PLC) were ready to volunteer information about Janet’s home and work going into the décor. Kaitlyn Sanchez, freshman in pre-graphic design and PLC member, gave the inside scoop about how Janet accomplished decorating the entire main floor. “[Janet] started decorating two weeks ago … she, over Thanksgiving break, began working on all the decorat-

first lady continues this “Knoll tradition” every year and shares it with the public and has ever since Steven Leath took office. While looking at all of the decorations, people could socialize over a variety of cookies and the famous Knoll hot chocolate. In the room that served the goodies was a large table with a figurine village on display. The village had so many details, but Janet was not the only one who assembled it. “With the help of all the [President’s Leadership Class] students, we all came over as a large group and helped set up the village,” Sanchez said. Guests were able to play on a grand piano in another room lined with more red and green garlands. Students played classical music and Christmas carols, which were heard all throughout the house. Touring the first level of the Knoll was a WinterFest activity, allowing everyone
to kick off the winter season with holiday décor, socializing and treats. Abigail Schafer, freshman in mathematics, explained how excited she was to be a full part of WinterFest because it was her first year on the Iowa State campus. “I thought it was really cool to tour the president’s house and see all of the decorations, because ‘tis the season,” Schafer said. “I am super excited about WinterFest too. I’ve been counting down the days to see the events, the tree-lighting ceremony and just because everyone on campus seems to be getting excited for the holidays.” Schafer said she got a “White House vibe” from the decorations because of how intricate and beautiful they were. “The room with the huge red Christmas tree was my favorite because it felt very homey,” she said. “The tree was gorgeous, and I couldn’t stop staring. I’m very impressed by the first lady.”

Jingle Jog dashes in holidays By Emily.Schroer @iowastatedaily.com The countdown from 10 begins as the runners get into position. When the number reaches zero, the lights on the campus tree turn on and the runners take off, running as if the finish line was only inches away. On Friday night, the annual Jingle Jog took place on Central Campus. The ceremony started at 5:30 p.m. with two performances and a tree-lighting ceremony. The runners began the race as soon as the tree’s glowing lights were turned on. Zach Denning, sophomore in industrial engineering and a special events co-chair for the Freshmen Council, discussed the purpose behind Jingle Jog. “There was a freshman named Andy Albright, who was tragically killed in a car accident about 10 years ago, I believe,” Denning said. “The run sponsors a scholarship in his name.” The Jingle Jog is an annual event that attracts more

Today’s Birthday (12/5/16)
You’re the star this year (and until 2017). Organize before 12/23, and then launch. Compassion at home eases a transition after 3/20, and then new beginnings with a friendship after 4/4. Adventures include creative expression, entertaining and educational journeys, when professional opportunities get hot. Romance surges spontaneously, surprising you with passion. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. (March 21-April 19) Practicing something you love to do goes well now. Read, write and film. Roadblocks require patience. If you get stuck, take a break and try later. Keep it practical. Simpler is better.
Taurus - 9
(April 20-May 20) A confrontation could require explanation. Hold your position. Wait for a better time to talk about money. Focus on making it, and enter a lucrative phase. The competition’s good. Proceed with caution.
Gemini - 7
(May 21-June 20) The moon’s in your sign, and you’re exceptionally clever with planning. Stick to practical ambitions. Don’t get distracted with fantasies or procrastination. Remember what you’ve been taught.
Cancer - 8
(June 21-July 22) Wait for practical answers, or for locked doors to open. Cut everyday spending without suffering about it. Delays and obstacles could hinder travels. It’s not a good time to speculate. Pay back a debt.
Leo - 8
(July 23-Aug. 22) Laughter with friends refreshes. They offer comfort and advice. Put unrealistic ventures aside and handle basics. Doubt clouds your judgment... get a second opinion from someone you trust. Play together.
Virgo - 8
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Pesky regulations could interfere with your plans. Learn so you’re stronger next time. Analysis plus intuition equals understanding. Work from home if you can. Accept love as offered.

She hopes to someday visit the actual Portobello Road Market. “I wanted a name that would allow me to carry old and new, which the Portobello Road Market is known for,” Jensen said. “It’s an area just filled with stores and buildings with different colors — it’s kind of how I imagine it here in Ames, Iowa.” Jensen’s sense of style has led to the success of her shop, getting her clothing from resale markets in New York, Los Angeles and Atlanta two to three times a year. Brands such as Free People and Urban Outfitters are commonly seen at these markets alongside Jensen. She said it is a secret little world made just for business owners like her. “It’s stuff [at the mar-
kets] made especially for reselling,” Jensen said. “It’s not just me going to other stores, buying it and turning around to sell it to everyone else. Some people have a hard time grasping that.” Although Portobello Road is located along the streets of a college town, her merchandise pertains to any age range. She said she buys clothing that people can wear forever, keep forever and always enjoy. “Outside of Portobello Road, Jensen’s free time is spent making her shop bigger and better than it was the day before. Her two favorite places to be in the world are at home and in her shop. “If I could work for free, it would honestly be doing what I do now and making
store displays,” she said. The only downfall to her job is not having a boss, because the positive reinforcement telling her she is doing everything right is not there to keep her motivated, she said. She is not alone, however, as she has a manager/assistant, Dani Turner, to help guide her to her main goal. “Talia is just wanting to help people and she wants them to find what they want — that’s her goal in life,” Turner said. “She always puts others before herself.” Jensen advised future business owners to stay determined, be organized and exercise kindness constantly. “It’s a thankless job but totally worth it,” Jensen said. “There is no boss telling you that you are doing it right.”

but without actually owning it,” Jensen said. “Then I thought, ‘Well, if they can do that, I can do it and make it completely my own instead of doing it for someone else.’” From there, Jensen decided to move back to her old college town and open up her own shop, Portobello Road. She said it was the best decision she made and loves waking up every day and doing what she loves. “Ames is my absolute favorite,” Jensen said. “People have said I should be in Uptown in Des Moines, but here, if you need an extra 20 minutes, no one cares — take your time. It’s so chill and it’s a beautiful thing.” The inspiration for the shop’s name came from the famous Portobello Road Market in London, which is

Some students wore costumes, and others wore no shirts and shorts. Some were even motivated by the cold. “It is cold, but that’s why you put on layers,” Miner said. Jena Nahnsen, freshman in music performance, said she likes the cold. “It gives it a little refreshing,” Nahson said. Some spectators stopped by on their way through all of the Friday night festivities. “We’ve been to a couple events,” Jan Clements, a visitor at Iowa State, said. “We went to the Knoll earlier, had some hot chocolate and cookies. Then we went to tour the Campanile.” Jingle Jog was a part of WinterFest, which hosted an array of events including hot chocolate at the Knoll and free ice skating.

Columnist Woodruff argues that animal agriculture is a major contributor to climate change and mandatory practices must be enforced to reduce its negative environmental impact.
Animal agriculture is destroying the environment By Beth.Woodruff @iowastatedaily.com
T
he millennial generation, those born between 1982 and 2004, haven’t shied away from voicing their opinions regarding climate change. This generation is one that is showing the most concern for the environment. A study by Statista in March 2014 found that 50 percent of millennials thought climate change was, indeed, real and that humans were the main cause of it, while Generation X only had a 47 percent agreement rate. One of the many concerns of the millennial generation is that agriculture is being ignored as a major contributor to climate change. “Cowspiracy: The sustainability secret” is an interesting documentary on Netflix that emphasizes society’s tendency to turn blindly away from the effects of animal agriculture on the environment. The film emphasizes how even large environmental organizations such as Greenpeace and the Sierra Club choose to blatantly ignore the adverse effects of animal agriculture on wildlife, fresh water and ecosystems. One of the absolutely horrifying truths about animal agriculture is that it accounts for 91 percent of all Amazon rainforest deforestation, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Another is that farmers and ranchers have advocated for the killing of natural predators, such as wolves, in order to protect their livestock. They have also been major players in penning up wild horses in order to have less competition for their grazing cattle. Most terrifying of all is that livestock and their by-products make up 51 percent of all worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. These are just a fraction of the adverse impacts of animal agriculture. To break it down a little further, let’s look at something as simple as a

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
ISU censors free speech at Milo event By Tom Dworzanski Class of 2003 The administration of Iowa State is not fooling anyone with its unimaginative attempt to censor Milo Yiannopoulos from speaking on campus. Its tactics mirror perfectly the way in which the anti-conservative and anti-Republican administration at the University of Maryland was able to cancel Mr. Yiannopoulos from bringing his “Dangerous Faggot Tour” to Maryland. It’s unfortunate Iowa State is now making headlines by joining a small band of schools trying to limit free speech. The Iowa State event is scheduled to be held at the Memorial Union
in a few days and was fully funded in early September. Now, at the last minute, Iowa State is demanding an extra $2,000 from students. This demand is particularly egregious because students (as I remember well from my days at ISU) have a lot more money in early September than they do in December. The extra money is purportedly for additional security. Of course, no real danger has ever occurred at a Milo event. You always have a handful of protesters interrupting to espouse the wonders of communism or the horrors of masculinity. Some try to march in during the event while other protesters are sneaky enough to wear a “Make America Great Again” hat, blending in until just
the right moment. Their yelling is heard for a few seconds and then gets drowned out by enthusiastic students chanting “USA! USA!” as the protester marches out of the room, middle fingers raised to the ceiling with pride that he or she (or ze) has made a contribution to the conversation. If you don’t believe me, check out a Milo Yiannopoulos event on YouTube. All of the debate is wonderful and an important part of the education process. The First Amendment we as Americans and non-Americans in this country enjoy, provides us the incredible privilege to state our opinions, to hear other ideas, and participate in our democracy.
The students who support the event, those curious about the hoopla, and even the protesters, deserve to be respected and to participate. Unfortunately, none of this may happen because Iowa State has decided to censor Mr. Yiannopoulos using predictable tactics. I respectfully urge Iowa State University President Leath and other leaders to step up to ensure Iowa State does not become an embarrassing example of free speech censorship. I urge every student who believes in the freedom of expression (whether liberal, conservative or any other label you choose other than maybe “authoritarian”) to help perfect the principles of freedom for which our country and university must stand.
Get the most out of Dead Week Welcome to Dead Week. Along with stress and concerns about next week’s finals, students either face Dead Week as a sort of calm before the storm or the heart of the storm itself. As it does every year, the same question echoes in every student’s head: How can I make the most out of Dead Week? The answer is simple: Plan ahead and spend your time preparing for finals. First, create a study schedule for the last two weeks. Plan a day or so for each class to study for during Dead Week. Having a schedule will prevent wasting time at this point in the semester. It also will allow you to reject any requests to do unnecessary activities other than studying. Make sure you stick to it; a schedule has no value unless it is followed. At the same time, don’t forget to plan simple study breaks. Spending hours studying without a break is not as beneficial as you may think. But the breaks must not exceed 15 minutes. Watching a movie or playing video games for two hours are not breaks, so avoid them. Remember, study smarter, not harder. A group review is an excellent way to study and prepare for fi nals. But make sure you find committed peers who are determined to study. Stay away from peers who spend the whole time chatting or doing anything but studying. Also, do not study in large groups. Three- or four-member groups will save you time and can be more focused. Be aware of social media and technology. They are the biggest distractions of our time. You might waste hours on Facebook or Twitter without realizing it. Limit your presence on social media during Dead and Finals weeks. You will have plenty of time to post and check others’ posts after the finals. Take care of your body. The last thing you want in the last two weeks is physical weakness. Boost your focus by eating foods high in vitamins, minerals and proteins. They will help improve your concentration during this busy week. Leave some time for exercise. Get some fresh air and sunshine, which will refresh your body and mind. As a student, the university provides you with wonderful resources to help you succeed, but the best resource you have is the person you’ve spent all semester learning from: your professor. Professors often hold times for review either during class or at an alternate time. Don’t miss an opportunity to learn from the person grading you. Last but not least, sleep well. Nothing is worse than trying to study after sleeping for two hours. Give your body and mind enough sleep so they can function well when you need them.

Emily Durr spurs Cyclone victory Iowa State beats New Orleans 100-63 at home By Tyler.Julson @iowastatedaily.com Iowa State women’s basketball entered Sunday’s game reeling and fatigued from a hardfought overtime loss against Mississippi State on Saturday. After they got themselves back in the groove, the Cyclones sailed to victory, winning 100-63. It seemed evident early that the Cyclones were going to struggle against the New Orleans Privateers. The Cyclones started 0-of-7 from the field and made only one 3-pointer in the first quarter. “We had some good looks at the basket and made a couple of defensive mistakes,” coach Bill Fennelly said. “We fouled people when they were shooting the ball and you can’t do that like we did today. Just
seemed like we couldn’t get any kind of flow either way.” The Cyclones were able to work their way out of the funk they started the game in once the second quarter started. In the second quarter, Iowa State shot 80 percent from the field, including a perfect 5-for-5 from beyond the 3-point line. Three of those five came from junior Emily Durr. Durr finished the Sunday’s game with a team-leading 19 points and tied a career high with four assists and five 3-point buckets. Durr also played well in Saturday’s game in which she logged 13 points and was a perfect 3-for-3 from from 3-point range. “It was a quick turnaround, but I felt good today — I felt fresh,” Durr said. “I think I’m just really confident in my shot right now. Every shot I take I believe it’s going to go in and I think that really helps especially in the college game. Once you’re on a

Starks. Another bright spot came from redshirt sophomore Claire Ricketts. Ricketts only logged 10 minutes in the game but was the catalyst that got the team back into its groove at the end of the first quarter. Ricketts led the charge for the Cyclones with three straight buckets in the final minutes of the quarter. She finished the game with 10 points and a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. “[Claire] has been huge, especially without Heather, we need Claire to play,” Fennelly said. “She’s not someone that historically scores a lot of points, but today she was in the right place, right time. … It might have been the best offen-

sive game she’s played since she’s been here. [Saturday and Sunday], she gave us some quality minutes and hopefully that continues.” Fennelly said Saturday he would learn more about his team by how it responded Sunday to Saturday’s loss than he would learn from the loss itself. He was pleased with the reactions and responses he got from the team. “I got a text message from Seanna [Johnson] this morning,” Fennelly said. “It was exactly what you would expect from your best player and leader about taking responsibility and moving on. I was very impressed by that.”

4 ISU wrestlers place in Las Vegas By Curran.McLaughlin @iowastatedaily.com Six Iowa State wrestlers walked into the second day of the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. Only Lelund Weatherspoon was in the mix for a first-place finish to start the day. When the smoke cleared on the mats, Weatherspoon wasn’t able to win the tournament but he did finish in fourth place on Saturday. Markus Simmons, Chase Straw and Quean Smith all managed to place eighth as Iowa State finished 12th in the team standings. Weatherspoon, who was seeded at No. 3 at 174 pounds, started the day wrestling in the semifinals against No. 2 Zahid Valencia of Arizona State. Weatherspoon hung with Valencia for the first two periods but trailed the entire match. Valencia would go on to win 10-2 by major decision, putting Weatherspoon on track to wrestle back to third place. Weatherspoon would find himself in a rematch against Central Michigan’s CHristian Brucki. Weatherspoon won by a 10-3 decision. Weatherspoon’s final match was against Michigan’s No. 7 seed Myles Amine. The two wrestlers were evenly matched throughout the low scoring match, heading into the third period with a 2-1 match in Amine’s favor. Weatherspoon had built up 1:25 in riding time in the second only to have Anime negate it

But he grew up playing in Ames, Iowa, watching the Cyclone Hockey team as a kid. “It feels great,” Song said. “Obviously, I wanted to play [NCAA] hockey, but this is just as good, being a hometown kid.” The Cyclones finished the weekend with a sweep of Alabama, ending their fourgame losing streak and helping dust off a sloppy 1-5-1 November.
tire life,” Song said. “I started the year off at defense wanting to switch it up.” The transition from forward to defense wasn’t the issue for Song. He felt limited during his time at forward. “I was more focused on trying to keep the puck out of the net than trying to put it in,” Song said. Song regained his focus during the past two games, quadrupling his point total for the season. “It’s certainly possible, [for Song to remain a forward],” Kevin Wey, Cyclone Hockey’s assistant general manager, said. “We didn’t get to see [his quick release] as much when he played defense, but we saw flashes.” With Song playing forward for the Alabama series, it seems his quick release will
