Custom electric guitar maker Peter Malinoski has come to Iowa State to instruct design students in a guitar making workshop.
By Lissandra.Villa @iowastatedaily.com
ART AMPLIFIED will be his 185th guitar made. “They are unique to me, that was the main thing, I want to make my guitar and not someone else’s,” said Malinoski. Within the past five years Malinoski has focused strictly on just making guitars; he typically can make 35 to 40 in a year. Malinoski’s guitar will be featured at noon Friday in a free concert in the College of Design’s Lyle E. Lightfoot Forum. The College of Design’s lecture and exhibitions committee and industrial design program sponsored Malinoski’s visit. Chris Martin, associate professor in integrated studio arts brought Malinoski to Iowa State af-

Radio marathon continues tradition By Clark.Eilers @iowastatedaily.com Kaleidoquiz (KQ), one of Iowa State’s oldest traditions, returns to campus on March 7 and 8 with a mix of old events and new surprises for playing teams. The 26-hour marathon, hosted by KURE 88.5, started in 1967 and has since grown in length from 14 hours to its current format. DJ’s spend their time asking witty, difficult or clever questions for points. Teams, usually consisting of residence halls or departments, answer these questions for points to gain the upper hand in the competition. In addition to the questions, events take place all over cam-
pus, providing teams with more opportunity for points. “Everything is on a tight schedule, and the events are all so different from each other,” said Tabitha Jamerson, a former marketing and underwriting director for KQ. “One hour, you’re hearing people on the air singing karaoke, another hour is simply trivia questions, another hour you’re hearing about the bizarre list of scavenger hunt items, another hour you’re hearing a montage of kazoo covers of pop songs.” Although the event has been around for nearly 50 years, popularity has been all over the place, notably peaking in the 1970s and losing popularity in recent years.
According to Rebecca Park, the current KQ Director, there are specific reasons for that, and she strives to promote the competition regardless. “I think the hardest part about KQ, as far as promotion goes, is just fact that 26 hours of an event they’ve never heard of before can sound really intimidating,” Park said. “To get participants, I’ve promoted it through Clubfest, I go to a lot of council meetings, and we use our DJ’s and posters to explain Kaleidoquiz.” Jamerson, who discussed how the event requires a lot out of its committee and volunteer members, believes that more listeners and audiences could
make the difference and bring more attention to KQ events. “KQ has a huge turn out in regards to teams, but there’s always room to grow and get more people involved,” Jamerson said. “Listening is nearly as fun as participating.” For Emily Knoll, senior in aerospace engineering, listening could not compare to participating in the events. Knoll, who first participated in KQ her freshman
Getting students to a bachelor’s degree faster than four years and low-interest state loans for students would be the best ways to make education more affordable for students, said Jack Hatch, one of Iowa’s candidates for governor. Hatch visited Iowa State Wednesday evening to speak to approximately 15 of the Iowa State Democrats. “I know the biggest issue for you is college debt,” Hatch said to the students. The first of his proposals to reduce college debt would aim to reduce the length of time students spend in college, which would in turn lower the total amount of money a student spends on college. “We’re allowing any Iowa student in any university or college in the state to take any class at any other school in Iowa,” Hatch said. The availability of courses for Iowa students whenever and wherever they need them would be the key in the proposal to getting students to graduate faster. Schools could potentially lose revenue from this, but they would adjust, Hatch said. The second of the proposals would be a state program that would make borrowing money less expensive for college students. This program would lend 5,000 Iowa students up to $3,000 a year at a 1 percent interest rate. A second tuition freeze for

Alumnus competes to be King of the Nerds By David.Gerhold @iowastatedaily.com He played Quidditch, performed an alien autopsy and built a functioning volcano — all while being watched by thousands of people on public television. Jack Hou, Iowa State alumnus and medical doctorate student at the University of Illinois, is a contestant on the second season of the TBS reality show “King of the Nerds.” “There was this big casting call at my university and I sent in a few
paragraphs about me, even though I didn’t really think I had a chance,” Hou said. “A few minutes later I got a call back asking for more information and audition tapes.” After a few interviews and casting stages, Hou ended up as a candidate for “King of the Nerds,” a reality game show where eleven “nerds” compete in various nerd contests to win the grand prize of $100,000. “Being a medical Ph.D. student and not having much of a social life as a result of that takes a lot out of you,” Hou said. “So I kind of wanted
relief from that and maybe get more popular as a result.” In his audition, Hou said he tried to showcase his academic talent but also his non-academic skills such as fencing and board games. “I just wanted to be myself, because a lot of people I know really want to get in, so they try way too hard in their audition tapes. You can tell that they’re trying to fake it,” Hou said. Starting the filming process,

Four faculty members, one student win awards at Ames art exhibition By Blake.Dowson @iowastatedaily.com Four faculty members from the integrated studio arts department and one student from the College of Design brought home awards from the 46th National Clay, Fiber, Paper, Glass, Metal, Wood Exhibition in Ames. The faculty members include Jennifer Drinkwater, Chris Martin, Joe Muench and Teresa Paschke. Omar Ibrahim, a student in the College of Design, also received an honorary mention. Ibrahim was not available for comment. Drinkwater, a senior lecturer, finished in second place for her painting “Bridging the Gap.” “It was a surprise and a great honor [to win second
place],” Drinkwater said. “The exhibition is full of really exceptional work.” Drinkwater said that she finds inspiration for her work from many different things. “I usually have an overarching narrative in my mind about how the different images come together to create a synthesized piece, but it’s not a stagnant story,” Drinkwater said. “I prefer to hear how others formulate their own ideas from what they’re seeing in the painting.” As for what it takes to be successful in the art world, Drinkwater said much of it is luck and personal preference. Martin, an associate professor, won first place for his sculpture “Tribal Stool.” Martin said that his

it, or it found me. I’ve always drawn, always made things, and the satisfaction of making something from nothing appealed to me.” Paschke, an associate professor, won the Winifred V. Brown Best of Show award for “Hip Hop Sampler.” Paschke also said the Mimaki wide-format ink jet printer for textiles in LeBaron helped her with her artwork. “I had been printing textiles by hand for many years and this innovative technology provided an opportunity to take my artwork in a new direction,” she said. Paschke learned her passion for art at a young age, too. “I’ve been a practicing artist for most of my life,” Paschke said. “Like many artists, I started making artwork as a child, and by the age of 15 was painting almost daily.” Paschke said that persistence is the key to obtaining success. “Being successful requires a willingness to fail,” Paschke said. “Artists in particular must have thick skin to pursue their passion.”

inspiration for his artwork came from his time in the Peace Corps. “From 2008 through 2010, I took leave from Iowa State and joined the Peace Corps in Ghana,” Martin said. “The stool is a tribal stool that village chiefs use as their throne.” Martin said he didn’t expect to win first place at the exhibition. “It was a pleasant surprise,” he said. “[Stools are] new for me, and I was a little nervous. I wondered what the reception would be.” Martin also said his passion for art started a long time ago. “I got my undergraduate [degree] from ISU, and came in as an architecture major,” he said. “I decided that architecture wasn’t for me because I couldn’t stand just drawing up things and not making them. I changed my major so I could draw up those ideas and actually make them.” Martin says to be successful in art, you must connect with your work. “I don’t go into every show expecting to win. Just be honest with yourself and be connected with your work. A lot of my emotions are connected to my work.” He said. Muench, also an associate professor, was awarded an honorary mention for his work “Yield.” “It is an honor to win an award of any kind in an exhibition,” Muench said. “It is a juror’s stamp of approval on a piece and is a nice acknowledgment for the effort. Many other pieces in the show are equally deserving of this acknowledgement.” Muench said that “Yield” is part of a series he has created. Muench has had a passion for art since day one. “I’ve had it most of my life,” Muench said. “I found

Martin said bringing Malinoski to Ames has always been in the back of his mind. The College of Design brings visiting artists so students are able to meet a professional in their specific field of study. “Bringing someone who is doing something different than what is happening here gives students a more holistic idea of what they can do out in the world once they finish school,” Martin said. “[Visiting artists] create an opportunity for students to see what they can possibly be doing.” Visiting art programs allow students to see and interact with artists who succeed in their area of

Donald Beitz, distinguished professor in animal science, was Jack Hou’s academic adviser during his time at Iowa State. He said he is not surprised by the fact that Hou now appears on television. “Jack was a very ambitious kind of guy. He wanted to take advantage of everything,” Beitz said. “It’s so fitting that he’s on the show; he’s just that kind of guy.”

Artists like Malinoski are able to come to universities and give students and out of the classroom learning experience. “They get it, they understand what’s going on” Malinoski said “I feel like they can do it, I like to demystify it and show that [making a guitar] isn’t a scary thing” Malinoski hopes he can inspire students to try making their own guitars and be able to receive the same joy he has at making guitars. “[My favorite part] is getting to hand a guitar to really good musicians who can do amazing things with them,” Malinoski said. Malinoski presented a selection of his guitars Monday in Morrill Hall.

to legislators that the cost of higher education is a disincentive to pursue a degree. Hatch currently serves as a chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Budget Subcommittee in the Iowa Senate. If elected, Hatch would replace Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, who is seeking a sixth term and holds the record for being the longest running governor in history of the United States. “In a race like this, I think it’s really important for the party to be united [behind one candidate],” said Jane Kersch, junior in global resource systems and treasurer for the ISU Dems. “I think it’s really important for politicians to engage with young students.” Other Democratic candidates have dropped out of the race, including Tyler Olson and Bob Krause, which led Hatch to say that in a way he is the last guy standing. Hatch did point out, however, that Jonathan Narcisse recently joined the race. The discussion on Wednesday began with a raise in minimum wage, about which Hatch said he is one of the leading proponents. The election will be Nov. 4.

Coca-Cola advertisement finds beauty across cultures Last Sunday’s Super Bowl may have turned out to be less than exciting, but that doesn’t mean there was any shortage of commotion surrounding the big game. One of the contentious issues that popped up was a Coca-Cola commercial which featured the song “America the Beautiful” sung in a variety of languages. How a song celebrating the grandeur of our nation, sung from a global perspective, can cause offense is difficult to imagine, but there are no shortage of Americans who have somehow found a way. Twitter and other social media sites were abuzz with criticisms of the advertisement, in most cases citing how the English language and the United States are inevitably linked, despite the fact that the majority of those that speak English live somewhere in the world other than the US. While the United States is far and away the country with the most English speaking individuals and over 94% of our population knows the language, we are far from a completely homogeneous nation. Any cries of “This is America; speak English!” or other hilariously paradoxical arguments as to why Coca-Cola acted inappropriately should be seen for what they are: foreigner-fearing [xenophobic] comments made from ignorance. That does not mean, however, that they should not be taken seriously. By showing the world that a significant portion of our populace views even the slightest hint of multiculturalism as not only disagreeable but downright offensive, we as a nation have also shown just how backward we are. This country, in its birth, was a melting pot for different cultures. People from all different countries of Europe settled here, followed by all other parts of the world. People who stand by and make comments to fellow Americans to “speak English in America” should remember that unless they happen to have an American-Indian heritage, they too have ancestors that are from other countries. Since its beginning, Coca-Cola has been making a controversy in the advertising world. Coca-Cola has been in constant support of America and even though it is now known worldwide, keeping its strong roots right here in America. Coke has also been a strong supporter of women’s rights, the U.S. military, and they printed one of the first ads to feature an African-American woman back in the mid-1950’s. Coca-Cola has been helping blaze the trail toward equal rights for years, so seeing an something like their much-discussed Super Bowl commercial is nothing new. We as Americans should stand and support each other and the different cultures we can all bring to the table, rather than tear each other down for something as irrelevant as believing in a different religion, having a different skin tone or speaking a different language. It is truly unfortunate that instead of viewing Coke’s commercial as one that celebrates the United States as a global standard for quality of life, so-called patriots have chosen to claim America as open only to themselves and others like them. Such nonsense is neither compatible with the values that make America great, nor with those that will continue to move the United States into an even more prominent global role. Coca-Cola is moving progressively to embrace all people of this world, and that is what makes America beautiful.

Club’s claims not justified By Kesley.Cummings @iowastatedaily.com
Coca-Cola, known as an All-American company, received criticism after the release of their 2014 Super Bowl advertisement. Those who commented said it was unpatriotic.

Recently, the Iowa State Daily published an article discussing Iowa State’s National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws’ (NORML ISU) decision to take on Iowa State’s Trademark Licensing Office for the rejection of their T-shirt logo designs. However, it is unlikely that NORML ISU’s plans to appeal this rejection will achieve their desired outcome. Their design simply doesn’t follow the rules. In January 2013, the trademark office updated its guidelines to now state that designs with “dangerous, illegal or unhealthy products, actions or behaviors” and “drugs and drug paraphernalia that are illegal or unhealthful” that also include logos or symbols associated with the university would not be approved. In June 2013, NORML ISU tried getting approval for a design that read “NORML ISU Supports Marijuana Legalization” with a picture of a cannabis leaf. Because advocating for the legalization of marijuana is the main focus of NORML ISU, it is natural that the club would want to display its cause on club affiliated tshirts. However, even though the “ISU” is part of their official title, NORML ISU doesn’t automatically have the right to use it in designs. There is a fine line between being a club located at a university and a club whose cause is endorsed by that university. Having “ISU” in the title of an organization merely states that organization is located at Iowa State. But because Iowa State has stated they do not endorse any act, not just the act of marijuana legalization, and because Iowa State’s Trademark Licensing Office controls the usage of university terms,
such as “ISU,” “Iowa State,” “Iowa State University” and “Cyclones,” it cannot necessarily be said that Iowa State is rejecting the designs purely for this specific issue. Granted, marijuana legalization is a controversial topic, and it might be true that the university does not want to be associated with supporting one side or the other. However, NORML ISU’s claim that this rejection infringes on its First Amendment rights doesn’t sufficiently hold up in an argument. What is not being considered here is that the First Amendment does not provide equal levels of protection to every instance of expression. Since the shirts could potentially be approved for sale, the design might fall under the category of commercial speech, which is not fully protected under the First Amendment. If the speech is false or misleading, as it is in this case, it is may not be granted any protection at all. Even if the shirts wouldn’t be considered commercial speech, there is no guarantee that NORML ISU’s supposed right to use the ISU mark is fully protected under the First Amendment. Furthermore, in no way is Iowa State trying to hinder or stop the actions being taken by NORML ISU to express its views. The club will be able to carry on with activities and express their opinions as usual. But producing a T-shirt design which could potentially imply that Iowa State endorses a topic it does not would be false. Due to the nature of copyright laws, Iowa State has the legal right to refuse the use of its logos and marks to any organization it deems might be using the logo or mark incorrectly or falsely. In this case, the mark is being used in a manner which suggests false endorsement.

Universities are, in some ways, like regular businesses. They rely on the support of the community for funding and upholding a positive reputation. Because of this, universities must remain fairly neutral on certain issues, especially highly controversial political issues, or else risk a lowered reputation in the eyes of its community members. But it would be wrong to assume that Iowa State does not support its students simply because of a matter of reputation. Approving students to form these contro-
versial clubs at all certainly proves Iowa State’s willingness to support diversity. So although it is in NORML ISU’s Constitutional rights to be able to disagree with and try to work to change the trademark office’s decision, their claims against Iowa State does not take into account the university’s own rights to reject them. As long as Iowa State remains vigilant about enforcing their trademark guidelines for every student organization, I see no reason why they should change their decision.
Rhino hunt profits rhino conservation By Phil.Brown @iowastatedaily.com A few weeks ago the Dallas Safari Club, in partnership with the government of Namibia, auctioned off the chance to go on a black rhino hunt. This may seem like the most natural thing in the world for the selfproclaimed “greatest hunters convention on the planet” to endorse, except for one thing: the black rhino is an internationally recognized endangered species. With a few more than 5,000 individuals left alive, black rhinos are the subject of intense conservation efforts across their natural range in subsaharan Africa. What possible reason would the Dallas Safari Club, which supports conservation efforts around the globe, have for selling the chance to kill an endangered animal? As paradoxical as it seems, the hunt was created to raise money and awareness for black rhino protection. The permit issued as a result of the auction does not entitle a hunter to kill any black rhino. A handful of older, non-breeding and potentially dangerous males have been identified in Namibia, and it is one of these select few that will be killed. The hunt eventually sold for $350,000, although the winning bidder, Corey Knowlton, says public backlash to the event lessened the proceeds. “It was the most unfortunate thing,” Knowlton said. “There were people willing to spend $500,000 to a million dollars.”
Those potential buyers were scared off by animal rights extremists and their intense disapproval of hunting auctions as a conservation tool. Such fears appear to have been well founded, as Knowlton, who now requires personal security, has received not only death threats, but told CNN in a recent interview that he has had his children’s lives threatened as well. Not all of the hunt’s detractors take their disapproval to such extreme lengths, though. The Humane Society, for example, has announced that it will lobby the US Fish and Wildlife Service to refuse Knowlton a permit he would need to bring the rhino’s body back to the United States. The Humane Society’s CEO and President, Wayne Pacelle, claimed in a blog post that “The first rule of protecting the rarest animals in the world is to protect each living member of that species.” Sadly for Pacelle and his childlike understanding of conservation, this is simply not true. Ensuring the survival of a species of course includes protecting individual organisms, but there is much more involved. For one, the relative safety of individuals who can still contribute to the survival of the species is something to take into account. A diseased animal, for example, will often be quarantined from its cohorts in a captive setting. This treatment comes about because the particular animal presents a danger to its

healthy brethren. When dealing with black rhinos, it is important to understand that older males can actually cause harm to younger, virile males or, even worse, can cause harm to a fertile female or her young. An alternative to killing these rhinos would obviously be to quarantine them, like we would do in captivity. This, however, runs into problems when the cost for such a strategy is realized. Unfortunately, conservation efforts do not exist in a perfect world, and economic factors play a role in determining their policies. Of course, it can easily be said that living rhinos generate money too, that we do not have to kill animals to receive money for their protection. Jeff Flocken, the North American regional director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare pointed out in an
online post that ecotourism provides more resources to both local communities and conservation than trophy hunting does. What Flocken fails to address is the per capita revenue of these practices. $350,000 (and potentially much more, if not for the dangers posed by extremists) is far and away more than what the average ecotourist will spend. Yes, the hunting permit is a one-time event while ecotourism takes little from an environment, but we must realize that these animals will die. Whether it be from “natural” predators or from humans makes no difference to the species, and makes little difference to the hunted animal, apart from the fact that death by humans will likely lead to a quicker, less painful death. There is another argument against hunting endangered species, though. As
Flocken and others have pointed out, selling off the chance to hunt these animals sends the message that they are worth more than common animals, and may contribute to poaching or unsanctioned hunting. With the vast amounts of money that people were prepared to pay, however, it can be safely assumed that the demand for rare game hunts already exists, irrespective of responsibly controlled permits. Beliefs that hunting an animal is wrong are fine for an individual to hold, just as it is perfectly fine to hold the belief that every member of an endangered species should be protected irrespective of potential dangers or the cost. These beliefs have no basis in scientific conservation, however, and attempts to masquerade them as such benefit no one, least of all an endangered species.

Urbandale senior Allen Lazard sits with his parents Kevin and Mary to mock sign his national letter of intent after officially becoming a member of the ISU football program Wednesday.

OFFICIAL
Urbandale senior Allen Lazard signs on to ISU football program By Alex.Halsted @iowastatedaily.com
U
RBANDALE, Iowa — In the end, Allen Lazard finished where everything started: in his family room on the phone with Paul Rhoads and committed to playing football at Iowa State. The marquee signee for the ISU football team’s 2014 recruiting class made his commitment official early Wednesday morning as he trekked through the snowy roads and bitter cold before 7 a.m. to Urbandale High School, where he signed his national letter of intent.
“It was just a big relief. Just weight off my shoulders,” Lazard said after he faxed his letter to the football offices in Ames. “Now I can just relax and hopefully just enjoy my senior year as a high schooler.” Before Lazard signed the paperwork Wednesday morning, he found himself in his family room Tuesday night on the phone with Rhoads. He was sitting in the same spot as he did while on the phone with the sixthyear coach when he offered him a scholarship to play at Iowa State back in 2012. “The first time when I called him and I received my offer was after my sophomore year and I was very ecstatic. I realized I just got a football scholarship and my dreams were coming true getting to play college football,” Lazard said. “Last night it was kind of going through the same thing. “It was a little deja vu I guess, realizing this is where it started and this is where it ended, too.” Lazard — a 6-foot-5 receiver ranked No. 47 in the 2014 recruiting class by Rivals.com — verbally committed to Iowa State in December 2012. Other schools still sought him out through his senior season, and Lazard listened. He made an official visit to Notre Dame in
He’s going right here to Iowa State University.” — ISU COACH PAUL RHOADS October, and questions about whether or not the Iowa native would change his mind popped up on message boards and across social media. Lazard was asked about it everywhere he went, and he heard constant feedback via text message and Twitter. “Any way you can think of,” Lazard said, “they probably asked it.” Lazard remained adamant he wanted to be a Cyclone, that listening to other schools was an emergency option. He followed through Wednesday, signing on as the headliner of the 2014 class for Iowa State. A fiery Rhoads held up Lazard’s letter of intent Wednesday afternoon as he announced the Cyclones’ group of 25 commitments. “(He was) true to his word of 14 months,” Rhoads said. “He’s not going to a school in northern Indiana — boy, they wasted a lot of time and money. He’s not going to another school in this state who feverishly tried to call him about a half a dozen times in the last week. “He’s going right here to Iowa State University.” Lazard will join his brother, redshirt sophomore linebacker Anthony Lazard, on the team at Iowa State.

Iowa State adds seven JUCO players to play in fall 2014 football season By Maddy.Arnold @iowastatedaily.com Gabe Luna had the opportunity to go to a Division I college right out of high school, but he didn’t take it. The defensive end said he was only offered walk-on spots, so he chose the junior college route instead. After playing at Butler Community College, Luna finally got to the chance to join a Division I college football team. “I knew in my head that I was good enough go to a Division I program,” Luna said on National Signing Day on Wednesday. “[Junior college] helped me with a lot of things. It helped me physically mature better and mentally get better as well.” Luna, along with 24 other recruits, signed to play for the ISU football team next season. The class that signed

Wednesday included seven junior college players — six on defense alone — and 18 players out of high school. ISU coach Paul Rhoads’ recruits are ranked as a consensus top 60 class. Three of the junior college players decided to attend Iowa State early and are already enrolled in classes. Luna along with linebacker Jordan Harris and safety Devron Moore have already joined the team. “There is mental toughness and then there’s mental understanding,” Rhoads said. “These three are going to be ahead certainly from a mental understanding point because they’re going to get coached. They’re going to get coached in the winter and they’re going to get coached all spring ball long.” Harris, who attended CopiahLincoln Community College, led the Junior College Athletic Association in tackles last season. He averaged almost 14 per game on his way to a second team All-American distinction. After receiving offers from many other schools, Harris committed to Iowa State.

Horned Frogs sink Cyclones in last seconds By Dylan.Montz @iowastatedaily.com When TCU’s Donielle Breaux rose up from beyond the arc with six seconds remaining, it didn’t matter that the Horned Frogs had only made one 3-pointer in the first 39:54 of the game. It felt good the whole way. “Actually it shocked me,” Breaux said. “I didn’t realize I was going to be that wide open. I thought they were going to switch everything, but Iowa State, they’re a good team.” A final effort to get the ball up the floor for Iowa State resulted in a jump ball under the basket — to the dismay of ISU fans — with the arrow pointed in favor of TCU (139, 4-6 Big 12) who held on to win 61-60 Wednesday night. It was the fourth loss for Iowa State (16-6, 5-6 Big 12) at home this season. What happened to Iowa State on the last possession was described as total lack of communication of the plan to switch every screen TCU performed. “We had one person that didn’t switch,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly. “We told them, ‘Switch every screen, make them turn the corner, make them bounce it, make them hit a tough two.’ We had someone make a mistake defensively.” Iowa State was able to find a rhythm from beyond the arc,
shooting 11-of-31 from 3-point range. Junior guard Brynn Williamson blazed the trail for the Cyclones offensively, pouring in 18 points, including 6-of-13 shooting from long distance. The ISU offense was once again hampered, though, by turnovers against the zone defense of the Horned Frogs. In the game at TCU on Jan. 2, Iowa State turned the ball over 19 times and turned it over 16 times Wednesday. For Williamson, her near career-high offensive numbers don’t do her much comfort knowing the struggles with ball movement on offense, leading to 16 giveaways. “Sometimes we were going way too fast and out of our comfort zone. Other times we were holding the ball way too long,” Williamson said. “We were getting open looks, we weren’t taking them, we were attacking the basket, getting mauled down there and we couldn’t finish. It was a really big factor.” That is exactly what TCU likes to do when it has certain personnel on the floor, too. “We fly around a lot out of that zone,” said TCU coach Jeff Mittie. “I thought we were able to get some traps in it. We have one of the best defensive centers in the league in [Latricia] Lovings so we can spread more, and I thought we were able to take advantage.” Iowa State is once again left

25 recruits sign with Cyclones, coaching positions filled By Alex.Gookin @iowastatedaily.com The biggest story surrounding the 2014 Iowa State football recruiting class was Allen Lazard, and for good reason. The fourstar receiver out of Urbandale, Iowa, chose the Cyclones over some of the nation’s elite football schools. Coach Paul Rhoads started his press conference with a fiery statement about the intense recruitment of Lazard, but went on to highlight the other 24 players that signed their national letters of intent. He believes there are about nine players that currently have good shots at immediate playing time. Rhoads emphasized the importance of the seven junior college transfers in the 2014 class. Six of them will be lining up on the defensive side of the ball, led by linebacker Jordan Harris, who led the nation in tackles last season playing at the junior college level. “We needed depth and experience there,” Rhoads said of the defensive recruits. “All six of those guys will have an opportunity to compete.”
Two incoming freshmen Rhoads said would compete for immediate playing time are Lazard and punter Colin Downing. Downing, a Whitefish Bay, Wis. native, was also looked at by Penn State and Toledo before deciding on Iowa State. Rhoads said Downing was recruited with filling the starting position in mind as senior Kirby Van Der Kamp graduates. Van Der Kamp was a Ray Guy Award watch list member and was famous for converting on fake punt attempts, going 7-for-7 in his career at Iowa State. “I said to him in the process, ‘Are you athletic enough if we call some fakes with you?’ and he said, ‘Coach, I’m a hockey player,’” Rhoads said of Downing. Rhoads also spoke highly of running backs Martinez Syria and Mike Warren. Both players were regarded as top-100 recruits at their position nationally, but went largely unnoticed by BCSlevel schools. “[Syria] is bigger and more physical, yet has good speed, the other back [Warren] has great speed and game-breaking ability,” Rhoads said. “He had eleven 40-plus yard runs called back
and still ran for 2,500 yards on the season. On some peoples’ radar they are underneath, but on ours we see them as clear as can be.” Rhoads noted this recruiting season has been hectic with NCAA rule changes and the passing of defensive line coach Curtis Bray. He said his final 13 days of recruiting were non-stop while traveling from state-to-state. The result, however, was a class with no late decommitments and a diverse field of high school and junior college signees. Coaching staff almost complete
Rhoads also announced the additions of Brandon Blaney as offensive line coach and Tommy Mangino as wide receivers coach. Todd Sturdy will move from wide receivers to quarterbacks coach, and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino will also serve as the tight ends coach. Blaney comes to the Cyclones staff after serving as defensive quality control assistant for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2011 before serving as defensive assistant coach for the past two seasons.
Blaney spent 15 years coaching at the collegiate level, 10 of which were spent coaching alongside ISU offensive coordinator Mark Mangino. He served as offensive line coach at Oklahoma in 2000 when Mangino was offensive coordinator for the Sooners and was hired as recruiting coordinator by Mangino while he was head coach at Kansas from 2002-09. Tommy Mangino joins the staff after serving as a graduate assistant at the University of Arkansas and is the son of offensive coordinator Mark Mangino. Mark is excited to work with family after often being busy while they were in school. “Most of the time I was out taking care of other people’s kids while my wife was taking care of our kids,” Mark said. “You always try to be the best father you can be but there’s no doubt that with my hours of work, this is an exciting time for me because I get to be with him every day.” He also said the decision to hire both Blaney and Tommy were solely up to Rhoads. He attributed their work with their former organizations as the key factors to their hirings.
Rhoads added it was not Mark that determined who would be hired, although his relationships with the both his son and Blaney played a role in determining who would make the best fit. “I told him in the process that I was holding back a job to get his input once he arrived,” Rhoads said. “For Mark to have a right-hand-man, I thought that was important for his implementation of the offense. In the end, he happened to get two that would fit that description.” With four new offensive coaches and some position changes, the offseason will be a learning experience. Rhoads said one more coaching position will be filled in the coming weeks at defensive ends. With both Blaney and Tommy expected to be in Ames this week, the ISU football office will look much different than it has in years past. Rhoads is hoping that the new look is a good one. “We’re going to have to get to know each other a little bit,” Rhoads said. “Getting comfortable will take place over the next couple months.”
Despite recent win, ISU wrestling team looks to improve on the mat By Ryan.Young @iowastatedaily.com A win is a win, but last Saturday, members of the ISU wrestling team were looking for more. The Cyclones traveled to Arizona State last weekend for a dual with the Sun Devils in which Iowa State took control of the match early. Iowa State won by a final of 21-12. Even though the Cyclones came home with the victory, they still feel like they left a lot out on the mat. “I don’t think that we came out with enough fire,” said Kyven Gadson. “I feel like if we wrestle that same way up at UNI [University of Northern Iowa] this weekend, it won’t be fun at all. We need to come out like we have something to prove, and if we get 10 guys who can do that, we could have some fun.” Gadson added another accolade to his collection last weekend as well. He pinned Arizona State’s Josh DaSilveira, marking his 25th dual win in a row, a record for the All-American. While that stat might look nice on paper, it’s just a number for the Waterloo, Iowa, native. “It’s nice not losing duals, but you
>>RECRUITS p5 tended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M before choosing to play at Iowa State over multiple other Big 12 schools including West Virginia, Texas Tech and TCU. Moore said he’s already working out with the ISU coaching staff in his short time at Iowa State. He said he’s been adjusting to the new level of football by focusing on gaining weight this off-season. “It’s a lot different because they’re worried about just regular fundamentals,” Moore said. “They’re more worried about that. You work hard, but they’re making sure you do it

right. It wasn’t like that in junior college.” In addition to the three already on campus, four more junior college players will attend Iowa State in the fall. Rhoads said he used junior college transfers to address areas of need in the roster and all seven should get a chance to play immediately next season. “Six on defense, we needed depth there. We needed some experience injected with those guys, and so I think all six of those guys will have an opportunity to compete,” Rhoads said. “I think [Wendell Taiese will] have an opportunity on the offensive line as well.”
tournament.” That win against the Sun Devils moved No. 18 Iowa State to 8-3 overall on the season, marking one of its best overall
>>LAZARD p5 He also follows in the footsteps of his father, Kevin, who played at Iowa State from 1990-93. During his senior season at Urbandale, Lazard caught 46 passes for 1,065 yards and 16 touchdowns. Following his senior season, the three-time First-Team All-State player was named to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which was played in San Antonio, Texas last month. “His size is an attribute that a lot of other receivers don’t have, and I think that would be the most obvious thing within his game,” said Urbandale coach
records in recent years. With a tough portion of his team’s schedule looming, ISU coach Kevin Jackson said he will take whatever he can get to help keep the team’s confidence high. “Any time you win a match, it’s going to give you major confidence,” Jackson said. “There might have been a little bit of a letdown at some of the weight classes, where guys have sort of expected to win, rather than grinding it out. So I’d say that the trip to Arizona came at the right time for us.” Even though the team won the meet, it only won six out of the possible 10 matches. And while the matches Iowa State lost were close, redshirt sophomore Tanner Weatherman knows that finishing out close matches is what will make a difference in the future. “We talked as a team, and among each other we lost a lot of close matches,” Weatherman said. “It’s really just getting tough in the third period and in tough positions that will make a big difference. If we can connect those fears, it’ll make the biggest difference overall.” Next up for the Cyclones is a trip to Cedar Falls, Iowa to take on No. 8 UNI. The dual will begin 5 p.m. Saturday.
Sam Anderson of Lazard’s skillset. “To add on to that, he’s got a great vertical, he’s got great speed. I had an opportunity to watch him go up against the top players in the country and he stacked up just fine with those guys. “He’s an all-around complete ballplayer.” Rhoads said Wednesday, after saying Lazard would be off-limits to the media during his freshman season, he is one of two true freshmen he initially can envision playing immediately in 2014. Before then, he has other business to finish. “I have to focus on, right
now, finishing my high school basketball season and then it’s football from there on out,” Lazard said. “After basketball’s done, I’m just going to train, get in the weight room as much as I can, get faster, bigger, stronger and hopefully compete for playing time next year.” Questions about where he will end up, though, are finished. Lazard is headed to Ames, and he sees a bright future from the onset of next fall. “We’ve got a lot of returning guys. That’s a very big positive,” Lazard said. “I think we have a very explosive group and we have some big things to do next year.”

Waterloo band signed to Ames label By Kendall.Evans @iowastatedaily.com Ames’ very own Maximum Ames Records’ mission and goal is to help and work with Iowa bands to get their music heard, including their newest-signed band Twins. Hailing from Waterloo, Iowa, the power pop band Twins is now getting into the Ames music scene. Being Maximum Ames’ first band from the Waterloo area, the record label could not be happier in expanding to that part of Iowa. The drummer Luke Sires, expressed how happy and excited all members of the band were to be now working with Maximum Ames. “We have always loved the togetherness of the label,” Luke Sires said. Twins started at the end of 2011 with family members Luke Sires on drums, Harper Sires on guitar and vocals, Joel Sires on guitar and vocals and Devin Ferguson, a family friend, on bass and vocals. Joel and Harper are the main songwriters of the band. “Our number one influence is Peter Collins, the King of Power Pop,” Luke said. Other influences come from artists like The Who, Harry Nelson and, another Iowa band, The Poison Control Center. Twins is now working on their new album, “Tomboys on Parade,” and will release their first single “Baby City” Feb. 18 along with a music video. “Every song is just simply killer,” said founder of Maximum Ames Records Nate Logsdon. Twins have a lot of exciting things happening this year, including going on tour in May. Pre-orders for the album will also be available Feb 18. with the album dropping on April 1.

Eight bands will play at Blue Moose Tap House By Celeste.Welshhons @iowastatedaily.com Attila along with I See Stars, Capture the Crown, Ice Nine Kills, Myka, Relocate, Hello Ramona and Noah will be playing at the Blue Moose Tap House in Iowa City on Tuesday. Co-headliner I See Stars has six members: Devin Oliver, Brent Allen, Jeff Valentine, Jimmy Gregerson, Andrew Oliver, and Zach Johnson. They hail from Warren, Mich. “(The band) was an idea before we could even play instruments,” said lead vocalist Devin Oliver. “We all lived around the block from each other and started off just playing cover songs.” The band was offered a record deal while still in high school, and they chose to take it. “I did always want to do music, but the hardest thing was giving up basketball,” Devin said. When it comes to their current tour the band will be focusing a lot on newer music.

“I think we’re not going to be playing any songs on our first record. [Fans] want to hear the new stuff,” Devin said. This tour around, fans will be able to do vocal lessons with Devin in order to “see what it takes to be a vocalist.” “We’re bringing tons of merch and lot of lights,” Devin said. “Our two bands [Attila and I See Stars] together are going to provide an awesome show.” I See Stars have been around Iowa before, even to Blue Moose Tap House. With the release of their last album being in October 2013, the guys focus on the tour for now.
Singer-songwriter Andrew Ripp will appear as part of his ‘Simple Tour’ 9 p.m. Friday in the Maintenance Shop backed up by Americana folk band Judah & the Lion. Recognized for pushing genre boundaries, Andrew Ripp is a rising pop-rock artist from Palatine, Illinois. Ripp is praised for his exceptional singing voice, as well as for crafting nuance music. “[My music] is in the singer/ songwriter category on iTunes,” Ripp said. “It’s not rock, it’s not pop, and it’s not soul, but it’s got all of those elements mixed in to one sound. But they call it singer-songwriter on iTunes, so that’s what I am. I’m a singer-songwriter.” Ripp began imagining a life in music while attending college in California. “I moved to [Los Angeles] when I was 18 to go to college,” Ripp said. “I wound up spending a lot of time in class scribbling down lyrics and thinking about songs, what it might be like to be songwriter. I seriously started considering pushing for music when I was 18.” While attending a band’s show in Los Angeles, Ripp began his venture into the world of songwriting. “I was blown away by the sound of the music, and also by the songwriting,” Ripp said. “After that show I went up to the lead singer and I asked him if he wouldn’t mind writing some songs with me, because I loved what he was doing.” Ripp was introduced into the music industry co-writing songs on Ryan Cabrera’s 2005 release “You Stand Watching.” “[Ryan Cabrera] heard a demo CD of mine, the first five songs I ever recorded,” Ripp saids. “He got a hold of that demo, loved what he had heard, and decided to cut a couple of those demos for his record. We started hanging out and he became a dear friend of mine. He still is.” Ripp has played shows with Sara Bareilles and has been on two tours with the popular rock band Parachute. “It’s a super fun brotherhood

Andrew Ripp, a pop/rock artist, claims that ‘if you like Fergie, and you like Jesus, you mix them together, and you’ve got Andrew Ripp.’ Ripp will perform 9 p.m. Friday at the Maintenance Shop. Doors open at 8:30 p.m.
that [Parachute] have,” Ripp said. “They’ve got a very unique friendship between them in the band, and I think they included me in on that. It was really fun.” Ripp’s tour is in promotion for his latest release, “Simple”, which debuted Jan. 21. Andrew took a minimalist approach after hearing strong feedback for his acoustic live shows. “I’ve been playing shows for the last four years stripped down acoustic style,” Ripp said. “Almost every night, I’ll have gotten off stage, and somebody will have tweeted ‘hey man, I loved your record, but when are you going to make an acoustic version of these songs? That’s what we love, that’s what we want to hear.’ Finally I just said ‘you know what? I’m going to give the sound that they want’, and I just made a record like that; I stripped it down.” Response to the album has proven to be more positive than Ripp’s previous efforts, even with less promotion. “I think the fans are just responding because that’s the way
that they fell in love with my music in the first place,” Ripp said. “They saw me play with a guitar and do my own thing without the band, and that’s what they’re getting on this record.” Fans in attendance for Friday night’s show will be privy to Ripp’s simplistic approach in the M-Shop’s intimate atmosphere. “I’ve never been to Ames before, but I’m excited,” Ripp said. “I love smaller venues. I feel like home in a small listening area.” Ripp left an intriguing as well as humorous promise for music lovers who have never heard Ripp before. “It’s kind of hard to explain without hearing the music,” Ripp said. “But if you like Fergie, and you like Jesus, you mix them together and you’ve got Andrew Ripp.” You can see just that this Friday at 9 p.m. with doors open at 8:30 p.m. in the M-Shop. Tickets cost $8 for students and $10 for the public, with a $2 increase the day of the show. Tickets are available in person at the M-Shop box office or online at midwestix.com.
