Ron Paul set to visit campus

By Daily Staff Congressman Ron Paul will be in the Great Hall of the Memorial Union at 7 p.m. on Thursday.

Paul, a Republican from Texas, is a presidential hopeful for the 2012 elections.

“Ron Paul’s ‘Restore America’ plan slams on the brakes and puts America on a return to constitutional government. Through the bully pulpit of the presidency, the power of the Veto, and, most importantly, the united voice of freedom-loving Americans, we can implement fundamental reforms,” according to his website.

President: Public reception celebrates, honors Geoffroy

By Daily Staff A reception will be held to celebrate the more-than-ten years President Gregory Geoffroy, who will be continuing his job through the middle of January, and his wife Kathy have been at Iowa State from 3 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 8, in the Memorial Union ballrooms.

The Geoffroys will be greeting those who attend the public reception, which will have refreshments and will be accompanied by the ISU Small Jazz Ensemble.

ISU undergraduate students who are residents of Iowa could see an increase of $240 for the 2012-2013 school year.

Nonresident undergraduates are facing an increase of $480.

“Since [the fiscal year] 2009, the Regent universities have absorbed over $144 million in permanent budget reductions to general university funds. Despite the material cuts imposed, the Board of Regents held tuition and fees increases for undergraduate resident students to an average of 4.6 percent over this time period,” according to the proposal.

Government of the Student Body President Dakota Hoben said he has not received any negative feedback from students about the tuition raise.

“I literally haven’t heard a negative comment [at Iowa State],” Hoben said.

He said all three Regent’s Universities have endorsed the raise in tuition, but the University of Northern Iowa and the University of Iowa are having a little more opposition to the tuition proposal.

The high cost of the flood was unexpected.

Warren Madden, ISU vice president of business and finance, said that the university is ultimately hoping for a complete reimbursement of the damages.

“I don’t see myself leaving Iowa State at all,” said Elizabeth Hoffman, executive vice president and Hoffman provost. “I love Iowa State. I will always be a Cyclone. I just thought of this as an interesting, new opportunity.”

Hoffman said she wasn’t actively seeking new job opportunities when a search firm for the presidential position at the University of New Mexico contacted her.

Hoffman said New Mexico offers several opportunities for her to help students.

She said the University of New Mexico is having some issues with graduation rates.

Hoffman also spoke about her opportunity to lead the strategic planning process at Iowa State, something that the University of New Mexico is lacking.

“I lead the strategic planning process here. It was very productive. It was very inclusive. It gave the campus a chance to come together to talk about the changing of the university,” Hoffman said.

She said the university has some distinct communities, including a Native American community and a Hispanic community that can be traced back to the 1600s.

Giving back with United Way ISU students help raise money for good cause

By Briana.Haguewood Daily Correspondent This year, Iowa State students have contributed their largest donation to United Way of Story County’s annual campaign, according to President

and CEO Jean Kresse.

This year, Iowa State students have raised a total of $10,560.81 for the cause, compared to $3,383 from the 2010 campaign, Kresse said.

“In these tough economic times, for students to give to others in this way is incredible,” Kresse said. “We are so grateful.”

Of this sum, $4,685.81 is made up of donations from

Willow, Wallace, Wilson, Larson and Friley residence halls.

Iowa State’s Greek Community has also contributed to the cause with a donation to United Way’s campaign of over $4,700, raised at the annual spring greek pizza luncheon.

Of all the things to compare “Saturday Night Live” to, we would not have gone with “Melrose Place” — but we also do not work there. Kristen Wiig, however, does. At least for now.

Earlier this year, after she announced that she was retiring two of her “SNL” characters and hitting it big with “Bridesmaids” (which she co-wrote and starred in) a bit of gossip circulated that this was going to be her last season on the sketch comedy show.

But her rep denies the rumor to Paper magazine, which interviewed Wiig. There is also the fact that “SNL” casting will not be set until the end of the season. And it is not like Wiig does not like her comedic co-workers.

“I love the cast,” she says.

“We’re like ‘Melrose Place’ without the murder.” Charming.

‘Thor 2’ loses director As “Thor 2” angles for a November 2013 release, it looks like the film is on the hunt for a new director.

According to Deadline, Patty Jenkins has parted ways with the project over “creative differences.” Jenkins, who directed Charlize Theron in her Oscarwinning “Monster” role, was said to have stepped into the position in late September.

Entertainment Weekly reports that this shift in direction should not impact the “Thor” sequel’s progress, which is expected to begin filming in the late spring.

EW notes that the movie’s still in the beginning stages, as “Thor” star Chris Hemsworth, who has been working on “Snow White and the Huntsman,” has intimated that while he met with Jenkins to discuss her vision for the film he had not received a completed script.

50 Cent ‘excited’ about Pauly D’s upcoming album Pauly D is not limiting his musical talents to the DJ booth — the “Jersey Shore” star is working on an upcoming album, with some help from 50 Cent.

The rapper has signed the reality star to his label G-Note Records, saying in a statement, “Pauly’s a great addition to G-Note and G-Unit family. He’s smart, creative, and will definitely bring something special to the label.

We’re really excited about his project.”

50 Cent tells MTV that Pauly’s offering will be “more like what you would get from a DJ Khaled or DJ Drama but also what you would get from David Guetta — so it’s a cross between those two worlds. ... We’re gonna make a hit record out of the actual material that we have around and some of the new stuff we’ve put together.”

Pauly D dropped hints of the upcoming album earlier this year to Billboard. “I’m focusing on music. That’s my passion,” the “Shore” star said, adding that the album with 50 Cent is “going to be a little bit of everything.”

Editorial

Tuition hikes save quality of education As students, we have to realize that things cost money. Our education costs money. And someone has to pay for it. The Board of Regents is supposed to meet to consider raising tuition by 3.75 percent for next year.

That increase is low compared to other raises in the recent past, but state funding for Iowa’s public universities has declined every year since 1977.

Having a college degree is now almost essential to obtain a halfway decent job and pursue what was long ago labeled the American dream, with suburban life in a house with cars in the driveway. Maintaining even a precarious livelihood often requires having a college degree among your credentials.

The mission of the state-supported Regents universities is to educate students in such a way that they benefit both the public world and the private world. Each sphere has a stake in a large body of educated people and, especially for land-grant institutions such as our own Iowa State University, were founded with that dual mission in mind.

We cannot ask the truly good people of the state of Iowa nor alumni who contribute to fundraising efforts to bear the brunt of our education costs. The proposed increase is supposed to cost in-state students an additional $240 per year. For out-ofstate students, the additional cost for tuition would be $480. That’s a reasonable amount.

If it’s a choice between cutting funding and programs, and having to spend more money to come to school here, we choose spending more money. College students all over the country and world choose to go to schools that instill in their students a first-rate education and charge a pretty penny for it.

A larger amount of money in the university’s coffers allows a greater diversity of services it can provide students. That broader range makes Iowa State a better institution.

That diversity serves both students and the university’s mission.

If Iowa State offers 100 majors and thousands of courses each semester, students from all disciplines can learn useful information and skills taught in courses outside their majors as well as indulge hobbies or special interests such as music, art, history or chemistry.

As students take that diverse education out into the world of work, they can appreciate other cultures and perspectives as valuable in their own right and, based on that familiarity, work with them.

But students are part of the university community, too. We need to put in some effort and do our part to keep Iowa State a great place. We have an interest in the quality of this place and need to be willing to pay for it.

Discussion

Photo courtesy Thinkstock Different sections singing different notes create dissonance and a sometimes unpleasant sound, it eventually creates blanace. Just like in politics, that initial clash of opinions is what spurs discussion and collaboration.

Music and politics alike?

Artistic concepts can apply to governmental matters

G

etting hundreds, thousands or millions of people to work together in harmony is rarely an easy task. Coordinating individual voices within separate sections in one body requires patience and knowledge.

Allowing all to be heard but allowing those with something particularly special creates a fine line to walk.

Music and politics are oftentimes brought together in the context of making a political statement through lyrics. However, the structure of a choir and the actions of its members oftentimes mirror the actions of truly political members.

At the head of it all is the conductor, the one that we look to for direction and knowledge.

A leader that guides us to the best that we can be yet leaves room for individual growth and interpretation.

Different sections singing different notes create dissonance, a sound that is not always immediately pleasant to the ear, but the conflict eventually creates balance. Politics is born out of initial disagreement. That initial clash of opinions is what spurs discussion and collaboration. Unison is rarely found. Each voice and each section has its own interests and abilities, which allow for a broader spectrum on which to base our decisions . Our unique qualities are imperative to the solving of public problems.

By Jessica.Bruning @iowastatedaily.com Unison tends to be boring when overdone.

As more parts and more voices are heard, we find depth and intrigue. Stifling the individual inherently stifles politics as we are unable to participate to our full ability.

When we are overwhelmed with one voice that insists on sticking out and forcing an audience to listen, we find it obnoxious and overbearing. Factions will yell their own selfish whims and desires from the rooftops until we don’t have any choice but to listen. But we must search for a voice of reason that allows others to be heard and is willing to contribute their voice to the group. We hope that when one voice does stick out. It will stick out as the lovely, pure sound that comforts, makes sense to us and inspires us.

Sometimes we are out of tune. Sometimes we need to listen to others around us to position ourselves within the group. Sometimes our politics will be bad and corrupt. However, sometimes we need to stand out and lead. We need to help others find the pitch, or figure out the rhythm. We need to command our

stage.

There are guidelines along the way, a tip here or there on how to perform. We can choose to follow those guides or make our own path. Within those guides there is always room for interpretation and musicality. Music, like politics, has loose boundaries that are easily stretched and modified to our need or taste.

Every once in while we come across something that moves us. That draws tears or drives us to action. We look for these instances as inspiration to act ourselves.

Music is a deeply intimate and personal experience that is put into the public realm for all to see. It requires balance, strength, emotion and willingness to make it public and contribute to the polis, or public realm.

Our actions in politics are no different. It requires the drive and bravery to take your personal ideas and values and put them into the public for others to see. For without allowing the world to hear our music or ideas, it is impossible for art and action to spread.

We look to people in the past to influence the leaders of the future. Whether we draw our inspiration from Brahms, Bach and Mozart or Rawls, Locke and Rousseau we can use our own voice to influence and contribute to the choir.

LGBT

Don’t use kids as political ploys Parents’ agendas, choices need not exploit young faces

B

y now you have probably seen the video clip of the small boy telling Michele Bachmann, “My mom is gay, but she doesn’t need fixing.”

Folks across the Internet have been lauding this boy for making such a wonderful comment, laughing about Bachmann’s reaction and generally making something great out of something that really isn’t.

Sure, it is fun to mess with Bachmann due to her rather backward actions and statements about homosexuality. But you can do that on Internet forums or show up at her rallies to chant something droll about LGBT issues.

But this situation is not one of those to be lauded. A little boy is being used in a political maneuver to attempt to get a rise. The boy is coaxed by his mother to say those words, sincere if they may be.

Honestly, can anyone out there tell me they think that little boy’s mother didn’t go to see Bachmann specifically to mess with her and that the mother wasn’t pushing her boy to go put Bachmann on the spot?

Bachmann is a political figure As such, she is subject to public ridicule; it is the result of trying to stand in the limelight. But attack her yourself, don’t use your kids

By Gabriel.Stoffa @iowastatedaily.com because you cannot come up with a better way to get your message across.

I could be wrong and the little boy might have been excited at the prospect of telling Bachmann that statement because, despite his extreme youth, he is politically savvy enough to understand the media machine and who/ what Bachmann stands for. But I sincerely doubt it.

I see this as being nearly as bad as the Westboro Baptist Church using children to hold their signs of hate at street corners.

Children are not a political tool. They should not be used for leverage.

Sometimes the images of children in poverty or a war zone are efficient at portraying a message that is being ignored. But coaxing a little kid to walk up and deliver a message to a politician when the kid doesn’t want to is poor form, and LGBT rights are not an issue being ignored.

For anyone saying the kid wasn’t pushed into this, watch his hesitation. Kids are often shy, certainly, but it appears the kid did not want to tell Bachmann the message.

It is entirely possible the

boy’s message isn’t even his own. Imagine if the mother told the little boy that that woman, Bachmann, said mommy was broken because of being gay or asking her son if he thought mommy was broken because she is gay.

The little boy naturally wants to defend his mother, who he loves, by saying she isn’t broken. And so the message for Bachmann comes about all the while the little boy doesn’t fully understand what it is that is going on.

Putting the conspiracy theory aside, the kid probably intended the message for his mother’s ears, not for others, as a sign of support for an issue his mother was probably complaining about.

It is the same as a child seeing his mother cry and saying, “Don’t cry, mommy, everything will be OK.” Again, I seriously doubt the kid wanted to go to see Bachmann so he could give her a piece of his mind. If it comes out later that this kid is one of the youngest political activists working diligently and regularly toward LGBT equality, I’ll happily eat my words.

This was just another attempt to cast Bachmann in a bad light and grab some attention for the LGBT cause.

Come on folks, play a little bit better, take the higher road. The ignorant are going to use attack methods for media attention in a manner such as this.

LGBT rights are something that should be in place because sexual orientation has diddlysquat to do with shared incentives

offered to American citizens; it is a religious issue lingering in our legal system because some folks cannot separate religion from government and like following antiquated notions rather than adapting to the times.

When you sink to their level, you demonstrate further ignorance.

Stop applauding this video.

You are just applauding the other side of a tarnished coin. If someone had brought their kid up to tell Bachmann “thank you” for “helping” their family member in one of those “pray the gay away” nonsense meetings, many of the same folks supporting this video would be yelling at the top of their lungs about the injustice of using video of a child to push an agenda.

This is hypocrisy — wellintended hypocrisy, but hypocrisy nevertheless.

Don’t give in to the cheap media grabs; there are enough of us in the media industry that do so already.

If you believe LGBT rights to be an issue that shouldn’t even be a question, be the better person and get your message across without pushing little kids into the political arena; they will have many years with which to make asses or heroes out of themselves when they are older.

Letter to the editor

Soldiers serve for everyone’s good Brandon Werner is a senior

in agricultural and life sciences education.

After reading this article I felt obliged to share these thoughts and feelings. Statements made in Thomas Walkers article put him, the department of English and the entire College of LAS in a negative light.

If I were part of the administration of any of these offices, I would take action to see that members of my faculty were inclusive to members of any group, yes, even those of varying political parties.

This lecturer very likely has students in his classes that are either currently enlisted, a veteran, in ROTC or has a family member doing one of these. I would not feel comfortable as a student in his class and feel sorry for those that are.

If we are to have faculty that attacks the actions of a student group based solely on their political stance how are we to fulfill the university mission to “create, share and apply knowledge to make Iowa and the world a better place.”

Republicans respect those who sacrifice Why do ISU College Republicans take donations for troops in this Christmas season? It is simple. We are thanking those who defend your right to criticize our endeavor.

Are GIs paid enough? No, I don’t believe they are. I would love to see you live and work in their conditions for a week and see how you fare, and how much more money you thinks you deserve for the same job they’re doing. Maybe we should see if you can even make it in one session of Military Science 150. As for the industrial military complex, at least it creates jobs, which is more than we can say for this administration.

We Republicans want and know how to help eliminate poverty in the United States. But the only way the poor will ever be lifted from poverty is for them to be enabled work, so I guess the industrial military complex must be good for the poor by giving them opportunities for employment and thus to

better themselves and in the end enabling them to lift themselves from poverty. I agree it is a travesty that soldiers coming home are having a hard time finding jobs. But I have to ask: Have you wrote to Senator Reid asking him why he has stalled at least 15 jobs bills in the Senate?

As for our laissez-faire fantasies, I’d recommend that you stick to your English classes, because you obviously do not understand basic economics. You should also reread some history and remind yourself that the industrial military complex was started under a Democrat, Lyndon Baines Johnson. I am glad to see that you have gotten the opportunity to express your views. But I must say you are dead wrong; I’d

recommend that you take off your tin foil, because your perception on why we did this is dead wrong and reeks of conspiracy theories.

We are supporting our troops, end of story. We are thanking those, who risk their lives so we can be safe and enjoy our liberties. I am also glad to see that this gave you the opportunity to inject your profession into your swipe at ISU College Republicans. Just like English instructors over analyze a good book to the point of ruining it, you have over analyzed what we were doing.

Finally I am glad to see that our event gave you an opportunity that you have been waiting for to attack Republicans, even though you had to take what we did and stretch it to fit what you wanted to attack us for.

I am glad that you chose to call me out with your quoting me and giving me this great opportunity to rebut your attacks.

Sacrifices made All Americans should appreciate for all by soldiers service of military men, women As an American, there are many freedoms that we can enjoy without fear of reprimand. Each and every one of us is allowed the freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press, freedom to keep and bear arms, and many other privileges. Many countries are ruled by monarchies and dictatorships where people are too afraid to leave their homes. Others live in fear of organizations such as the Taliban, the Gaddafi Regime or African War Lords.

So why then are people so upset to support our troops?

They put their lives on the line every single day so that we can enjoy and live our everyday lives. Soldiers do not get paid adequately. Yes, some high ranking officials make some money, but the enlisted man does not. When enlisting, he/she is signing up for a minimum of eight years (if full-time.) After that eight years, the maximum pay that he/she can receive is slightly under $48,000.

Having been in a military family and knowing plenty of friends in the military, the gifts that the soldiers receive cannot be put into words.

Being detached from loved ones is not an easy thing to do, especially when it is eight months of 16 hours shifts.

Americans, however, should not only support those who are currently deployed but help those who have come back. Retired veterans also need our support from healthcare to jobs to basic living ne-

Instead of receiving a gift that you will only use for a short time, ask that something be donated to military personnel. Not only will that bring joy to them, but it will also bring joy to yourself by making a person’s hard day a little more bearable.

This is in response to Mr. Walker’s letter concerning our troops. I sincerely believe that his bigoted point of view is the kind of opinion that makes Americans look fickle. Did you love our troops when they were detached from their families 30 days after 9/11? I wanted to say that I am one of those at the bottom. I am a single parent with two children, 7 and 1, attending school full-time because I lost my job. We have to live off of my student loans. By the way, those loans are provided by the very government that those soldiers are fighting for.

In what other country would a single mom have the opportunity to return to school and put a roof over her childrens’ heads, just so she can get ahead? This is one of the only countries in the world that allows for their citizens to try and get ahead.

I come from a family of military members.

I appreciate their service. When you down the troops, you are also downing their children and families state-side, who are sacrificing as well

by not being with their loved ones during the holidays.

Please don’t pretend to hold the view of all of those Americans at the very bottom because the truth is that we adore our troops and know that if it wasn’t for them keeping the lions at the door at bay, we could very well belong to another country that wouldn’t allow us the kind of religious freedom that allows us to celebrate these holidays.

Before you look down on our soldiers, I want you to envision a United States without an able military. I want you to think about the fathers who are serving overseas who didn’t get to see their children born. If a couple of Republican students sending them a couple of little gifts bring smiles to their faces, then who are we really hurting?

ous that Thomas Walker is attacking the support of those whose sacrifices give him the right to publicly display his opinion in this fashion.

“Doesn’t the army provide victual to its soldiers?” While it is true that the army does provide food and other provisions to its soldiers while deployed, variety is limited. The comforts we as Americans enjoy on a daily basis such as magazines, chocolate and shaving cream, are not a short drive away as they are in the United States. “Don’t their families send them yuletide goodies?” While members of the typical “nuclear” family would have loved ones at home to send these treats and well wishes, there are many who may not.

How would Thomas Walker feel to be stationed in Afghanistan over the holiday and receive no tidings of cheer

or well wishes because he chose to adhere to his moral responsibilities as a U.S. citizen and fight for his country?

Many of those that serve in the armed forces do so for a variety of reasons.

For some, it is the only way they can afford an education, others because they believe that it is their civic duty to serve the greater good. But as Thomas Walker stated in his article, “They chose to leave home.”

I understand that there is a great division in this country between the two major political parties. I understand that the beliefs held by members of these two parties could be as different as night and day. What I do not understand is how any self-respecting human being could take a simple act of charity and turn it into a podium to voice their political stance. Acts of charity are positive actions that should be supported by everyone, especially when they are directed towards a group that has a strong presence on this campus, as the military does.

When I read the article written by Thomas Walker, a lecturer in the ISU department of English, on Dec. 5, I found it difficult to respect the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and its faculty. I am dumbfounded that anyone could attack any form of charity, especially a faculty member of a university that prides itself in its diversity and openness. Even if one believes that there are those in greater need than our nation’s soldiers, that person should reserve those thoughts and comments for private conversations, not state them in public displays of political bias.

I am by no means belittling the needs and the unfortunate circumstances of the poorest Americans and those that pick up the torch in their defense deserve our respect and support as well. Growing up in rural Iowa, I personally saw the effects poverty has on the citizens of this nation and as many do during this festive time of the year, I volunteer my services to support this demographic. I also find it humor-

NINE PLAYERS EARN BIG 12 HONORS iowastatedaily.com

Syracuse:

Sexual abuse story still not proven true SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Over the course of nine years, former ballboy Bobby Davis told his story of sexual abuse at the hands of Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine to the police, the college, the local newspaper and a national TV network.

Each time, either he was too late or his story couldn’t be proved.

When he went public again last month, he was maligned by Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim as an opportunist and a liar.

On Wednesday, a top law enforcement official became the first to say publicly he believed Davis was a victim and Fine had abused him.

At a news conference, officials explained that the statute of limitations would keep them from conducting an investigation.

In the same conference, Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick addressed Davis directly.

“Bobby, I’m sorry it took so long,” he said. “I wish I had met you as a prosecutor in 2002. Even more importantly, I wish I had met you as a prosecutor back in the 1980s. We wouldn’t be here today.”

Davis, his stepbrother Michael Lang and a third man, Zach Tomaselli, of Lewiston, Maine, say Fine preyed on them when they were boys.

The statute of limitations expired five years after Davis and Lang say they were molested.

Heisman:

Trophy race remains tight, in deliberation DALLAS (AP) — For Robert Griffin III, this might be only the precursor.

Baylor’s exciting dual-threat quarterback was selected Wednesday as The Associated Press’ Big 12 offensive player of the year.

A leading contender in what is expected to be a tight Heisman Trophy race, Griffin was unquestionably the Big 12’s top offensive player, getting 14 1/2 of 17 votes from a panel of AP member reporters who regularly cover the league.

Oklahoma senior defensive end Frank Alexander was the Big 12’s top defender with 14 votes.

The highlight producer known as “RG3” leads the nation in passing efficiency and has piled up 387 total yards per game. He has completed 267 of 369 passes (72 percent) for 3,998 yards with a Big 12-leading 36 touchdowns and only six interceptions, and run for 644 yards with nine more scores.

“He wins,” Texas coach Mack Brown said. “He’s a guy that when you go into a game, he’s such a dynamic player that he changes the game.”

Brown made that statement even before Griffin passed for 320 yards with two long touchdowns and ran for two more scores in a 48-24 victory over the Longhorns last weekend. Griffin is one of five finalists for the Heisman Trophy, which will be presented Saturday night in New York.

Cyclones rally past Iowa

By Zach.Gourley @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s basketball team beat Iowa 62-54 on Wednesday night in a game where each team traded big runs and long offensive droughts.

“I told the kids before the game that this is not like any other game, and coach-speak says it is. It’s not to our fans, it’s not to our players and not to our coaches,” ISU coach Bill Fennelly said. “We won the game because we were guarding, certainly not our scoring.”

The Cyclones (5-2) jumped out to an early 16-9 lead with 10:28, when

the Hawkeyes (5-4) went to a zone that stifled the ISU offensive attack.

From that point, the Hawkeyes took control of the first half, going on a 18-2 run that lasted eight and a half minutes and ended with Iowa leading, 27-20 with 1:51 remaining in the first half.

“We were up seven against their man, they went to a zone, and we had at least four layups we missed, so they could stay in a zone,” Fennelly said.

“Tonight we were just really struggling offensively.”

Iowa State closed the gap quickly, however, as Cyclone guard Nikki Moody hit a three with five second

remaining in the half. The Hawkeyes immediately turned the ball over and a Cyclone inbound play resulted in a layup and a made free throw by Hallie Christofferson to put the cut the deficit to 27-26 going into halftime. Iowa State retained momentum coming out of half time, stretching their 6-0 spurt into a 19-3 run, as they took a 37-30 lead and senior guard Lauren Mansfield found her offense.

“That’s big for me and big for my confidence, just knowing that (Fennelly) is still going to go to me,” Mansfield said. “It makes me feel good. It makes me want to shoot.”

Mansfield led the Cyclone attack

with 15 points on 6 of 12 shooting, followed by freshman guard Brynn Williamson, who came off the bench to score 11 points on 4-7 shooting.

“I got a first glimpse of [the rivalry] at the football game, but there’s nothing like when you’re in Hilton and both teams are there and the fans are there,” Williamson said. “It’s not like any rivalry in high school.”

Junior forward Chelsea Poppens was the only other Cyclone in double figures, adding 10 points and nine boards on the night for the Cyclones.

Up next for the Cyclones is Mississippi Valley State on Sunday at 2 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum.

Fennelly’s tirade motivates players

By David.Merrill @iowastatedaily.com

ISU coach Bill Fennelly does not believe technical fouls motivate teams.

That might be news to his players. Fennelly drew a technical foul with 2:33 remaining in the first half of the 62-54 victory over Iowa on Wednesday. The crowd of 12,662 was behind him 100 percent. So were his players, who used it as a rallying point the rest of the game.

“If he’s going to fight for us, then we’re going to fight for him,” said freshman forward Brynn Wiliamson. “He can say it didn’t motivate us, but it sparked something. When he got intense, we all just went crazy. We felt like this is our time, this is our game.”

Iowa State closed out the first half on an 8-4 run and trailed 27-26. The Cyclones continued to take control by going on another 8-4 run at the start of the second half. The Cyclones found their scoring in the second half from all sides. Freshman point guard Nikki Moody, senior shooting guard Lauren Mansfield, junior forward Chelsea Poppens and Williamson all finished with double digit points.

Mansfield lead the team with 15 points while Moody chipped in 13. Poppens and Williamson contributed 10 and 11 points respectively.

Iowa State managed to get the win despite shooting below 40 percent for the game for the fourth straight contest.

“Statistically, it wasn’t our best [game], but that’s the kind of game Iowa State fans are used to seeing from us,” Fennelly said. “Play hard, play with an amazing amount of passion and energy. Everyone

contributed. It was certainly a big win for our team.”

Along with Moody, Williamson has proven she can come in and contribute right away as a freshman. Her 3-point shooting ability has given the Cyclones a boost off the bench this season.

Williamson scored nine of her 11 points from behind the arc, while shooting 3-6 from long range. On the season, Williamson has shot close to 40 percent on three-pointers.

“It was really good to have all the fans there when I was coming off the bench and hitting the shot and knowing all my teammates were behind

me,” Wiliamson said. “Everyone was so pumped.”

Mansfield also stepped up. She has struggled to shoot the ball for the early part of the season, but shot 50 percent from the field against the Hawkeyes.

More freshman will prepare to step up for the Cyclones in the coming games.

Junior forward Chelsea Poppens went out late in the second half with a knee injury. There is no word on when she is due to return. Junior center Anna Prins played 10 minutes tonight and score two points. She has also been battling a knee injury during the early part of the season.

Football

Rhoads meets for bowl news conference

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard and football coach Paul Rhoads appeared in New York City at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday for a press conference. They discussed what lay in store for the Iowa State-Rutgers matchup in the Pinstripe Bowl set for Dec. 30.

Alongside Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti and football coach Greg Schiano, members of the New York Yankees organization including President Randy Levine and members of New Era and the Pinstripe Bowl, Pollard and Rhoads spoke about the unique opportunity for the Cyclones to represent the Big 12 conference in the second Pinstripe Bowl.

“To our student-athletes

who will get the opportunity to play in this great venue Dec. 30, it’s going to be an opportunity that will be priceless, a lifetime event for them,” Pollard said.

Adding his own thorughs,

Rhoads said, “We are thrilled to be representing Iowa State University in one of the greatest sports venues there is, in the greatest city there is and in one of the most exciting times of the year.”

Pollard donned a Yankees cap as he talked about how his dream as a young boy to one day be presented with a similar cap as a member of the team, and Rhoads discussed the change in scenery from small-town Iowa to the big city New York.

“The truth is, coming from La Guardia [Airport] over here to Yankee Stadium, I didn’t see one cornfield, and I felt a little bit out of place,” Rhoads joked.

In his opening statement, Rhoads spoke about the alltime attendance records that were set at Jack Trice Stadium this season and how he expects the ISU fanbase to travel well even with the added travel.

“We are thrilled to bring that loyal fan base to New York City, and we are thrilled to bring our football team

here,” Rhoads said. “I can promise you this we will give you everything we have in this ball game on Dec. 30.”

Iowa State will arrive in New York City on Dec 25 as they plan to get a full week of practice in at nearby Hofstra University.

Events throughout the week will include the presidents, athletic directors and coaches at each school ringing the bell at the New York Stock Exchange on the morning of Dec. 27.

Among the other events planned for the group while in New York City is a visit to Ground Zero, the site of the 9/11 attacks and a private tour of MTV Studios.

Rowers practice indoors in preparation for spring work outs, competitions Club winterizes conditioning style to stay in proper form File photo: Zhenru Zhang/Iowa State Daily An Iowa State swimmer competes against Minnesota on Oct. 15 at Beyer Hall. Their next meet, against Iowa, is set to begin at 6 p.m. Friday at Beyer Pool.

Confidence stays key

By Dan.Cole @iowastatedaily.com The ISU swimming and diving team faces Iowa at Beyer Pool on Friday as part of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series. The Cyclones are coming off a third place finish at the Northwestern Invitational a few weeks ago. The host team has won the last five meets of the Cy-Hawks series. The Cyclones hope this trend will continue through Friday.

“It’s always good to be at home,” said ISU coach Duane Sorenson. “You have the home crowd. You’ve got your home facility. You’re very comfortable.”

Cyclone junior Dani Harris placed first in each of her three individual events in last season’s loss at Iowa. This includ-

ed a 200m backstroke time of 2:00.97 and a 200m individual medley time of 2:03.38, just .33 seconds shy of Iowa’s pool record for that event.

“We’re way confident because this is our pool and home pool advantage really has a lot to do with things,” Harris said. “You have to really take advantage of it and use it to the best of your abilities.”The long-time rivalry between the Cyclones and Hawkeyes is playing largely into the emotions of Friday night, as well.

“If you can’t get up for this meet, I don’t know what you’re going to get up for,” said ISU diving coach Jeff Warrick.

“It plays a big part. We know that they’re going to come out strong and so are we so it should be fun.”

Staying focused and confi-

dent is a key goal for Iowa State going in. With the matchup being close, swimmers and divers alike know that their best performance will be required.

“When you go into that meet, you’ve got to go in confident. There’s no other way to it,” Harris said. “We virtually match them so it depends on who wants it more and who’s prepared.”There is a high level of familiarity between the two teams, adding even further to the intensity of the series.

“The coaching staffs both know each other very well,” Sorenson said. “Our swimmers and divers know each other because they competed against each other through the upper Midwest. Both teams have recruited a lot of the same kids. It’s going to be a great competition for both teams.”

By Stephen.Koenigsfeld @iowastatedaily.com Even during the harsh winter months, the ISU Crew Club continues to work in the offseason as a team and train for the spring season.

The club strives to provide a sense of competitiveness in the sport of rowing while being positive and staying fit. “[We] try to promote a healthy attitude of being in shape and being competitive when we race,” said junior Andrew Walag.

In the offseason, the team prepares for the spring competition by staying in shape in the recreation centers and working as hard as they do outdoors.

“We have a team practice every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 6 a.m. and that’s where we’ll do conditioning and calisthenics,” said sophomore treasurer Mikaela Nabity.

“And then individually, we have our own weight lifting groups where we go lift twice a week.”

Even though the club cannot continue its regimen of rowing practice as it would outdoors, it has its members focus on building strength during the indoor training periods in

the offseason.

“We’ll spend the entire winter working out, lifting, doing a lot of erging, which is essentially using the indoor rowing machine,” said junior Mark Saul, club vice president. “So we’ll be doing a lot of that to prepare for the spring season, which is more sprint-type season.”

The club will be heading out around the Midwest to compete against other collegiate crew clubs — including Nebraska, its “friendly rival.”

Nabity also mentioned late-winter training events happening within the club.

“We have our spring break trip we take every year, which is a lot of fun,” Nabity said.

“And then after that, our season starts.”

ISU Crew Club will travel to locations such as Omaha, Neb.; Topeka, Kan.; and St. Cloud, Minn.

“We do two big competitions in the spring,” Walag said. “One is in Omaha and then there is the Great Plains Rowing Championship which is in Kansas.”

The club will continue through spring break to continue training for the sprint-style season that is to come. Any tall, strong athletes looking for a spring sport are what the club is looking for now.

“We had other small victories but overall we’re looking to up the competitiveness so that we can get in contention in more races, in more places,” Saul said.

>>LAS.p1A expected at a land-grant university.”

A press release posted on the LAS webpage states that in the time Schmittmann has been chair for the department of physics at Virginia Tech, “annual research awards for physics faculty members grew from $1.99 million (2006) to $4.77 million (2011). The number of undergraduate majors grew from 112 to just over 200 and graduate student numbers rose from 55 to 75 during the same time period.”

Schmittmann visited campus on Nov. 3 and spoke at an open forum. She discussed her ideas on leadership, diversity and her future goals for Iowa State’s College of LAS. Schmittmann compared her thoughts on running departments within a college to when she played with Legos as a child. “There are a lot of pieces to work with, and you’re really trying to figure out how to put them together ... that the whole is better than the parts.”

At the open forum, Schmittmann also discussed how “a passion for public higher education” was a key reason for her applying to the position. She also spoke of her goal to make Iowa State “a national and international model for 21st century liberal arts education.”

Before the selection of the new dean was made, interim-Dean Oliver said that the new dean “will need to carefully husband the resources in the college to optimize the educational experience of the ISU students while at the same time guaranteeing that LAS researchers are providing the discoveries and insights that will drive technological and philosophical advances for society.”

The selection process began last spring with the acceptance of applications and nominations. The search committee reviewed all applications and made reference calls to select eight candidates that they would meet in person over a two-day period. From there, the committee narrowed the search to five finalists who had the opportunity to visit campus and speak at an open forum. The search committee then presented provost Hoffman with an evaluation of each finalist, and she then proceeded to make the selection.

“On the basis of that information and my own interactions with her, I offered the position to Beate Schmittmann. She asked to visit campus one more time.

She was here over the weekend and the beginning of the week. She signed the offer before leaving on Tuesday afternoon,” Hoffman said.

Hoffman does not believe that the transition will have any major impact on students, saying only that, “It will be different to have a woman dean. There has not been one since I was dean from 1993 to 1997.”

Schmittmann received her Ph.D. in physics in 1984 from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and a diploma in physics from RWTH Aachen University in Germany.

In 1991, after working for several years at the Institute for Theoretical Physics III at Heinrich Heine University, Düsseldorf, Germany, Schmittmann began a career in the physics department at Virginia Tech.

Schmittmann was named chairwoman of the department of physics at Virginia Tech in 2006. Her main field of research has been on theoretical condensed matter physics.

To encourage the university to go above and beyond for the 2011 campaign, College of Engineering Dean Jonathan Wickert and Vice President of Student Affairs Tom Hill, chairmen of the campaign on campus, announced that if the university raised $350,000, or 110 percent of its goal, they would each dye their hair cardinal and gold.

Wickert said that students and faculty are one part of the Iowa State campaign, as well as various academic colleges, business units, the greek community, residence halls and the Alumni Association.

Iowa State presented its check to United Way on Wednesday. There was no word whether the chairmen were dying their hair.

Last year, United Way of Story County reached an annual campaign record total of $1,645,107, the largest amount the Ames organization has raised since its beginning in 1953.

“What many people don’t realize is that faculty, staff and students right here on campus, as well as folks all over the county, benefit from United Way services. The campaign that we have here on campus is a way to engage to people of Iowa State University in helping out United Way, and we’ve been doing it for years,” Wickert said.

“It’s something that I feel very strongly about — returning something to your community as best you can and making a difference. The need is very high right now, higher than it’s ever been. So I really wanted to be involved this year and help out,” Wickert said.

With the exception of pledges and gifts, there are other ways people are getting involved with United Way. “For instance, the engineering college held a bake sale and book sale that was very well attended. Many departments have also created online auctions for people to bid on items, with proceeds going to the campaign,” Wickert said.

... but there are really good people on campus who could do that,” Hoffman said. “I think a transition would be very smooth. This university is in a very good state financially, enrollment is up and the relationship with the state is good.”

Hoffman will be interviewing for the job on Friday.

Warren Madden, vice president of business and finance, said losing Hoffman would be sad.

square-foot building and valued at over $10,000, according to the proposal, but it does not meet minimal accessibility codes and has no value to the university.

Iowa State is requesting permission to proceed with project planning for remodeling MacKay Hall Auditorium, Room 117.

“While the MacKay Hall Auditorium is in a premier location on Central Campus and easily accessible to students and faculty, it is one of the least desired auditoriums for teaching due to its current overall condition and configuration of the space.

“Therefore, the university requests permission to proceed with project planning for the MacKay Hall Auditorium 117 Remodeling project, which would upgrade the space to improve the learning environment for both students and faculty.

colder, people in residence halls are calling more often about smelling marijuana,” Florer said.

The report also compares this year’s numbers with last year’s numbers. For the third quarter, the number of offenses or incidents, charges and arrests all increased from the number reported in the third quarter last year.

Florer said one reason for the increases is because enrollment at Iowa State has increased. He also said ISU Police has more officers.

“We’ve had some people leave or retire, but we are now getting back to having a full staff,” Florer said.

Vance Watts, senior in communication studies, serves as a student representative and board member for United Way of Story County.

“I love being on the board,” Watts said. “It’s probably the best thing I’ve done out of all my experiences as a student. It’s something bigger than myself, I guess. It’s really opened my eyes to see how many people are in need in this community.”

Watts helped convert the annual greek pizza luncheon, part of the Greek Community’s yearly Greek Week celebration, to an event with proceeds benefitting United Way. “The greek pizza lunch is something that all of the different fraternities and sororities can get together for,” Watts said. “A lot of people don’t know what United Way really does, so I guess as a student I’ve been trying to promote what it’s really all about. Students hear about United Way at football games, they see the boards and the thermometers around Ames, and they wonder what United Way does.

“When people want to donate money, they want to do something simple and easy. By donating money to United Way, your money is going to be spread to different organizations and go directly to where there’s need.”

Wickert said there is a team of volunteers doing grassroots work in departments and units, and pledge cards and packets have been distrib-

campus, so he’s getting up to speed.

If I were to take this job, my understanding is I wouldn’t start until this summer. I would be able to continue to be in this position and provide assistance with a search,” Hoffman said.

She said it would also give Leath the opportunity to hire a new provost.

“Not that he’s asked for that, or not that I wouldn’t continue [here]

Tuition increases

“Betsy has been a very productive provost, and has been very instrumental in challenging budget times,” Madden said.

Madden said that if Hoffman were to leave, it would be a new direction for the university.

He reiterated that it would be a chance for Leath to pick a new provost that would fit with his plans for the university but said it would be a definite ending to an era.

budget of $3.1 million would be funded from general university funds,” according to the proposal.

The university will also be submitting a revised project budget, of $2,205,000, for the Wallace Hall fire and sprinkler system installation.

The projected budget was initially $1,820,000.

For the first time since 2008 for Iowa State, the number of Personal Development Assignments has gone up.

In 2008, there were 49 faculty members eligible for Personal Development Assignments, 28 in 2009, 41 in 2010, 37 in 2011 and 22 in 2012.

For 2013, the number has gone up to 29.

This increase comes in spite of new legislation, which was passed last January.

“As a result of legislation in 2011, HF 45 specifies that ‘for the period beginning on the effective date of this section and ending June 30, 2012, the state board of regents shall limit the number of leave of absence assignments granted pursuant to section 262.9, subsection 14, to not more than the equivalent of three percent of the faculty staff members employed at each of the institutions under the state board.’ This requirement was met by the three universities,” according to the proposal.

The Board of Regents is considering reinstating the Education and Student Affairs Committee as a standing committee of the Board of Regents.

The committee last met in 2007.

Its goals were to provide oversight and policy recommendations related to “aca-

demic affairs, student life, academic achievement, diversity in educational endeavors, intercollegiate athletics, monitoring and developing appropriate responses to state, regional and national policy initiatives regarding higher and special education, establishing positive, collaborative relationships with other education sectors, directing the work of special Board committees ... and directing ad hoc studies related to academic and student affairs.”

The Regents will be voting on an addendum to an FY 2013 legislative request.

The request is to “approve the review of statutory requirements and authorize the State Relations Officers to seek changes in the Iowa Code that will provide the greatest tangible benefit to the Regents, state of Iowa, and its citizens.”

The addendum calls for the streamlining of the governmental process of the Board of Regents.

Iowa State submitted an accreditation report for the Counseling Psychology Ph.D. Program.

The report lists several areas that need to be addressed

by Sept. 2, 2012.

The university also submitted a multi-site accreditation report, which included Marketing and Recruiting Information, Facilities, Student Services and Academic services.

The Regents will also consider approval for a name change of the Department of Apparel, Educational Studies and Hospitality Management to the Department of Apparel, Events and Hospitality Management.

Cinema ready for spring line up

By Cole Komma Ames247 Writer

As many students know, seeing a movie on a Friday or Saturday night after a hard week’s work is more than deserved. The Student Union Board’s “Cyclone Cinema” provided a much needed break for first — time and returning students.

“I was more than happy with [the turnout] this semester,” said Alec Thompson, SUB film coordinator.

“Our average over the weeks was above our projected [goal].”

During Cyclone Cinema’s showings, the “theater,” Carver 101, has housed as many as 950 students on any given weekend.

“Having 900 to 1,000 students come in a weekend is great,” said Marybeth Konkowski, president of SUB. “It’s been great alternative

entertainment for them. Also being able to be in a consistent location and have consistent times has been really helpful.”

Students can expect few changes next semester to Cyclone Cinema; however, the Sunday showings could be subject to change.

“Our lowest numbers have been on Sundays at 4 [p.m.],” Thompson said. “So right now, we’re analyzing what to do on Sundays, whether to show a movie [just] at 7 [p.m.], or 7 and 10, or just stick to our original 4 and 7. ... Otherwise, students can expect little change; just a new fresh line-up.”

Spring semester is also the time when awards-winning films are shown. These have raked in Golden Globes, Oscars or critics’ picks prizes “I’m really excited for next semester’s line up,” Thompson said. “The

fall schedule is always more blockbuster films, like the big summer movies. The best thing about spring: We get all those ‘Oscar’ type movies.”

Thompson also shared a unique

feature to Cyclone Cinema that goes beyond the free films.

“We also do these punch cards, where if you get three punches, which equates to seeing three films, you get

entered to win a $100 Best Buy Gift card,” Thompson said.

Thompson assured the punch cards will continue on to second semester.

Theater

Show schedule previewed ISU Theatre makes plans for new plays

By Vincent Geerts Ames247 Writer

By Alex Smith Ames247 Writer

Local DJ Trey LaTrash remembers attending his first rave at age 16 and being struck by the variety of attendants the party attracted.

“I remember turning to my friend and saying, ‘It’s never going to get as cool as this’,” he said. “It’s as multicultural as it gets.”

More than a decade later, LaTrash said he now works to bring similar “culturally rich nightlife” to Ames. Though he works under an alter-ego and in multiple costumes, LaTrash expresses himself through his work.

“I’m a fashion design student, so I like to use a lot of costuming in my shows,” he said. “Like a variety show; it keeps things a lot more interesting.”

Friend and aspiring burlesque

As the days went on, this semester was one full of interesting shows; next semester won’t disappoint.

Theater-lovers have something to look forward to.

Beginning on February 9 through the 12, students will perform “Chekov Short Stories,” an adaptation by director Matt Foss. Anton Chekhov was a short story writer who wrote about daily life and asked questions. This play puts together many of the stories Chekhov wrote to show human emotions. The show is in the Memorial Union Maintenance Shop at 7:30 p.m. on the 9 through the 11 and at 2 p.m. on the 12.

performer Phoenix L’Amour said LaTrash’s persona makes his art more entertaining, as well as more individual.

File photo: Kelsey Kremer/Iowa State Daily Students interested in auditioning with ISU Theatre have started working on memorizing lines in hopes to land a part in one of the upcoming productions.

Tickets for this show are $8 for students, $16 for adults, and $14 for seniors.

Director Jane Cox is putting on “To Kill A Mockingbird,” based on the novel by Harper Lee, on February 24 through the 26 and March 2 through 4.

In the show, Atticus Finch is a 1930s Alabama lawyer defending a black man, wrongly accused of a crime against a white woman.

Taking place in such a small town, his kids, Jem and Scout, can’t help but get caught in the mess.

Cox said she decided to select the play for next semester because it will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the book’s release.

“It was something I wanted to do for a long time,” Cox said. “It’s a book that is loved by many people. Many years ago, I saw

Concert

The Ames Choral Society, a non-auditioned adult choir, is holding a concert Sunday at 3 p.m. in St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Ames.

Admission cost for the concert is $10 at the door. There will be 10 songs of varying styles and languages, several of which are holidaythemed. The choir includes many members who are also students or faculty at Iowa State, and contains approximately 60 voices.

The concert will include songs in English, Latin, Polish, and Estonian. Pronunciation for the Polish piece, called “Wędrowali Trzej Królowie,” has been taught by Anna Wolc, a choir member from Poland and post-doctoral in the department of animal science at Iowa State. In order to help the pronunciation, Wolc practiced with the choir during rehearsal.

Other pieces in Sunday’s concert include “Let Everything that Hath Breath,” “Lo, How a Rose,” “Hang the Holly” and “Tooma Laulukoor,” a slightly difficult Estonian piece, said Joan Chamberlin, choir member and lecturer in English. ”This is the first time I’ve ever sang anything in Estonian,” said Suzanne Van Der Valk, choir member and lecturer in English. “I think that’s probably true for a lot of the singers.”

When: Sunday at 3 p.m.

What: The Ames Choral Society concert Where: St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church Cost: $10 at the door

Steven Hoifeldt, director of the choir, chooses the music and manages rehearsals.

He is also director of Good Company, an auditioned women’s choir.

“Steve brings out the best in us,” Chamberlin said.

Audience members are invited to stay after the concert for refreshments and treats provided by choir members.

The Ames Choral Society holds one concert in December and another one in spring for a total of two large concerts in the year. The group also participates in community events, such as the tree-lighting ceremony in winter.

The choir meets Monday nights, and the fee for a year of participation in the choir is $40 while one semester is $25, Valk said.

Dead Week is the week that comes twice in the school year right before finals. It is a time to get studying organized and finished, and also making sure to turn in those last minute assignments and make deadlines for projects.

It is encouraged that Dead Week is basically a 23/7 study period, without any distractions and students only talking as loud as one door down. But for one hour in the evening, the students in the dorm halls may talk as loud as three doors down. This brief time is called “loud hour.”

Some dorms have floor activities, such as parties and events along those lines. Other floors, however, do not do much for that hour and instead just focus on their studies.

Alyssa Peirce, sophomore in mathematics, is the social chair woman on the Friley floor, Lorch-Russell, and said the floor so far has held a Christmas party on Monday

during their loud hour, and on Tuesday they gathered in the hallway as a group and talked.

Kessehu James, sophomore in finance and a Community Adviser in Helser, said the floor has a more studyoriented approach. Along with several other dorms, they do not do crazy activities but instead just continue to use that available loud time for focusing on their studies.

The complete opposite of the study-oriented approach is in Barton Hall where Sarah Huempfner, junior in English and vice president for her floor, described loud hour as “loud and screaming” with crazy activities. One of these activities is hallway high jump, where the mattresses of the beds are put at one end of the hallway, and residents run to attempt a high jump and land on the safety of the mattress.

Huempfner also described a bizarre activity from last year titled “Bra Removal,” where the residents would go to WalMart to find and buy the ugliest lacy bras, then bring them

back, attach them to bed pillows and see who could detach the bras the fastest.

Though Huempfner said she has noticed this year has changed, because she has been staying more focused on staying in and studying.

“I’m 21 living in the dorms still, so an old woman essentially,” Huempfner said. “And I like it more quiet, but then I think back at when I was the same age [freshman and sophomore] and how I wasn’t as focused on studies that time either.”

Though her floor is choosing to remain a bit quieter this semester, Huempfner described how the honors house on the floor below her seems to be crazier this year, having their loud hour range from 8 p.m. to 11 or 11:30 p.m.

Whether students are devoting their Dead Week to studying, or are looking for fun activities like “Hallway High Jump,” the numerous dorm houses on campus offer a variety of personalities and games before finals.

Royce White is not just a basketball player for Iowa State University’s men’s basketball team. He is also an entrepreneur. Music, art, entertainment and the Internet are all under White’s business umbrella.

His most recent project is starting a clothing line called “Black Rose.”

Q: What made you decide to start your own clothing line?

A: Growing up, I just always had a thing for fashion. I like fashion. My son’s mother actually is a model, so she really — you know we met when I was around 15, 16, and she really got me into fashion, you know, where I really thought that I wanted to get into it as a business form.

And also just along with the other things I do, such as music and entertainment and stuff like that, fashion is just another facet of all those industries.

Q: What is the style you are aiming for?

A: I’d say real — well not formal — but kind of casual.

A casual look. You know, prototype like a Polo or some of the more casual styles, I would say Polo is the best, or like a Lacoste. Somewhere in that area. Right in the middle. But then there’s also going to be an urban section of the fashion line. So there’s going to be casual and then there’s going to be dress and then there’s going to be the urban style.

>>NIGHTLIFE.p1B “He’s not just a guy behind a soundboard wearing sunglasses,” she said. “He’s totally expressed who he is … and he puts a lot of effort into what he does.”

It began with boredom.

After a few years attending ISU, he decided to quit complaining and get to work. He started DJ’ing about a year ago, performing primarily at Capone’s.

“It’s kind of an Iowa thing,” he said. “We know that if we want to see something, we’re going to have to make it happen ourselves.”

Since that time, former Ames bar Capone’s has been re-imagined into the relatively new Club Blow, but that has not stopped LaTrash from bringing the party. Along with L’Amour, LaTrash hosted his first night at Club Blow last weekend. Owner Ismail Dika said the crowd enjoyed the performance, and some were even drawn in off the street.

“It was our first time working together, and we want to throw more events and parties in the future, Dika said. “It will get even better, we’re excited for next semester.”

LaTrash and Dika suggested that future themes could include the ‘80s, toga parties or a masquerade.

L’Amour and LaTrash both hope the parties will continue to draw a larger and more diverse crowd.

“It’s a great opportunity for people to discover a

little town called Ames, and get people to come here,” L’Amour said.

But this spring semester could also be the last chance to see LaTrash’s work in Ames. He will move to New York in the coming summer for an internship with Von Vonni. Dika hopes to host at least two parties a month during the time, providing plenty of opportunity to become part of the crowd.

the movie and there were so many aspects I really bought into, [such as] trying to do the right thing even if you know you’re going to be defeated.

You still have to follow your conscious. There’s so many examples of that in the story itself and in the characters.

All the characters, with the exception of one or two, are good at heart... . Even 50 years after [the book] was written, it has a great message and an important message, and iconic characters.”

It can be seen in Fisher Theater at 7:30 p.m. on February 24 and 25 and March 2 and 3 or at 2 p.m. on February 26 and March 4. Tickets for students are $8, for adults $16, and for seniors $14.

The musical “Rent,” directed by Brad Dell, will perform at Fisher Theater from April 13 to 15 and 20 to 22. In this musical, a group of eight friends go through issues with relation-

ships, money, and AIDS/HIV. The story focuses on how they keep themselves comfortable and keep each other together in hard times.

“I love ‘Rent’,” Dell said. “It has been probably one of the most fundamentally important shows of my life, let alone the lives of many other people.

It came out when I was 16 years old, and it was a very important time in my life. I have listened to the soundtrack of ‘Rent’ more than any other piece of music in the entire world. I feel like the show is part of my soul, and I’m really nervous to direct it because of that, but also so excited to tell what I think is one of the most beautiful stories of contemporary theater and musical theater.”

Dell also said that although there are no detailed ideas for set and costume designs yet, the production is “not going to be slavish to what the original was, or the movie.”

“To me, the play’s all about

you’re in the fashion industry. But also you have to find a way to slide your style in there and slide your little tweak on what’s going on in the fashion world right now. So that’s just what I’m doing right now, is figuring out what everybody else is liking to wear and what’s high fashion right now mixed with what I want to do.

Q: What all have you done with the line so far?

A: Just got samples, samples from designers. Young designers, really young. We wanted to shoot for that, real young designers. And the next generation of who’s going to be designing the next big thing, whether it be, who knows, somebody brings back some vintage style that’s really old, but they bring it back in a really unique way, or just finding designers that are submitting things that are really unique looking and also could be very trendy.

Q: What are your plans or goals with the line?

A: I think the same thing that goes with all the businesses that I have is to become competitive with the major, the other major companies in the industry. ...

Just becoming competitive as a clothing line, and that’s pretty much my goal in all my business work.

Q: What has the reaction been like from friends and family?

A: They’re excited. My friends and family, they support me in anything I do, and they understand I have a niche for business. So, you know, whatever I try — I always come up and say that I’m trying something new and they just believe in it. Because you know like I said, it’s all about supply and demand. So if you can get people to know about your clothing line or whatever it is, you’re going to sell. That’s half the battle right there. And that’s something I’m good at doing.

friendship and love, and I want it to be this big hug of the audience,” Dell said.

Auditions for “Rent” will be January 24 and 25. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on April 13, 14, 20, and 21 and at 2 p.m.

April 15 and 22. Tickets are $16 for students and $21 for adults.

All tickets for “Rent” and “To Kill A Mockingbird” can be purchased through TicketMaster or at the Stephens Auditorium box office. Tickets for “Chekhov Short Stories” can be purchased through the Maintenance Shop Ticket Office.
