Missing Person
Community bands together to find student By Sarah Haas and Jessica Opoien Daily Staff Writers The focus of the search for missing ISU student Jon Lacina shifted indoors Sunday night, as university staff searched all vacant residence hall rooms for signs of Lacina. “Statistically, Ames is a safe community,” said Annette Hacker, ISU News Service director. “Police have no evidence that would indicate Jon Lacina has been harmed in any way, but it’s always good for people to be cognizant of their surroundings.” Lacina, senior in graphic design, was last seen Jan. 22 leaving 300 Stanton Ave. at approximately 9:30 p.m. His father, Tom, reported him missing to ISU Police on Saturday. “Right now, nobody knows where Jon Lacina is,” Hacker said. “The search started Saturday as soon as his father reported him missing. It intensified today and included trained searchers, 110 of them.” Mercy One, a life flight helicopter from Des Moines, conducted an aerial search Sunday, while the Iowa State Patrol provided a plane to search a larger area. A dive team searched Lake LaVerne, and a canine team tried to pick up Lacina’s scent.

Hacker said the greek community has searched its houses. The Memorial Union, State Gym and Beyer Hall have also been searched. Ground searches have been conducted by ISU Police and other local law enforcement agencies, in the area between Campustown and Buchanan Hall. Teams have searched through woods, backyards, garages, buildings and outbuildings in the area where Lacina was last seen. Dione Somerville, dean of students, said the Critical Incidents Response Team has met regularly to help coordinate Iowa State’s response to the emergency.

Jon Lacina, 21, of Grinnell, is a senior in graphic design. He was last seen leaving a friend’s residence at 300 Stanton Ave. at about 9:30 p.m. Jan. 22. His father, Tom, reported him missing to ISU Police at 8:39 a.m. Saturday. Lacina is a white male, with brown hair and green eyes. He is 5 feet 11 inches and weighs 155 pounds. He was last seen wearing a black coat and blue jeans. Ames residents are encouraged to search in and around their property. If anything suspicious is found, it should not be touched. Anyone with information regarding Lacina since Jan. 22 should call ISU Police at 515-294-4428 or the Ames Police Department at 515239-5133.

By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer Chandra Peterson, a candidate for the 2010–2011 Government of the Student Body elections, has split her campaign into three parts: things she and her running mate Jacob Wilson have already accomplished during their time in GSB, projects they are currently working on and future goals they have yet to accomplish. Peterson started her time on GSB during the spring 2008 semester as an InterResidence Hall Association senator, soon switched to a Campustown senator and has served as vice chair of the Finance Committee. Wilson started the spring 2009 semester. “I had known that I wanted to run since I started GSB as a senator. I enjoy helping and representing students,” Peterson said. “I have had all of these goals and a long time to think about them.” She would like to solve the problem of empty campaign promises. A lot of the projects that have been started up this year need the continued support of GSB for them to succeed, Peterson said.
One of the projects Peterson mentioned is the Green Umbrella Organization. The organization was created to unify the sustainability groups on campus. Another group she would like to see expand is the Campustown Action Association. Peterson said that efforts in the past have been made to bring together the city of Ames, business owners and the university, but it’s hard when the student heading organizations to improve Campustown will be leaving in a few short years. “If a student has the support of GSB ... an organization that isn’t going to leave ... it is more likely we would be able to get cooperation out of business owners,” Peterson said. The “Mind the Gap” campaign, which was created to spread diversity on campus, is another organization that could be left out. “This campaign could be left out in the dust if two people come in without a vested interest in it,” Peterson said. She also addressed some ideas to help students with financial debt issues. GSB could pass out fliers on financial

By Paige Godden Daily Staff Writer Partnerships are what Luke Roling and Nate Dobbels campaign is about. Roling, an engineering senator and chair of the University Affairs Committee, has issued his statement of intent to run for president of the Government of the Student Body for the 2010–2011 year. Dobbels, an agriculture senator and member of the Rules Committee, will be running as Roling’s vice president. The duo has been talking about running since both got involved in GSB two years ago. “One of the big issues, which is unique to our campaign, is establishing partnerships,” Roling said. “Partnerships between the executive branch, City Council and constituency councils with the student senate.” Roling and Dobbels explained how each partnership could potentially help how the GSB operates. “We would like to see more cooperation between the Executive Council, the judicial branch and the senate,” Roling said. “We would be creating one large group and not three different sections of people.”
Roling also said he and Dobbels would be sure to find cabinet members with necessary skill sets which they would need to carry out their duties properly. Currently the only communication GSB has with constituency councils happens when the councils send three or four delegates to meetings, Roling said. A stronger partnership with constituency councils could start projects that are meaningful to all students, and could make setting up joint events easier. Setting up joint events will be another new project because of the creation of the new events account, Roling said. Dobbels and Roling also expressed an interest in creating a stronger partnership with the Ames City Council. “Right now we only have a joint meeting a year,” Roling said. “It is always the longest meeting of the year, and there is always good discussion.” He also mentioned that ISU students make up about 50 percent of the Ames population, which means the Ames community has a large impact on student life. Continuing and expanding on the partnership with the Ames City Council could also help improve the potential of

Convert addresses personal experiences involving Islam
Economics professor transitions job, offices
By Rashah McChesney Daily Staff Writer Yusha Evans, a Christian convert to Islam, spoke Saturday in the Southwest Ballroom at the Memorial Union to a crowd of about 70 people. His words were unapologetic and, while he tempered them on occasion in deference to the children in the room, his story was at times graphic and others comedic. His message was heard by Muslims in the room who had been raised in the religion, a convert from Nevada who is still learning to speak Arabic so that he can read the Quran in its original language and even the man who stood at the end of the presentation shouting that he had literature about Jesus for anyone who was interested. Evans made the crowd laugh with his descriptions of walking into a mosque the first time. “I thought it was a setup,” he said with a rueful smile. “I’m sitting here, eyeing the door and all of the sudden the imam, this nice man, got up there and started pounding, screaming in Arabic and he’s pointing at me.” I panicked, Evans said, to the amused crowd. He spoke of his first experience with Islam and how a book in his local library lead him to believe that all Muslims worshipped a moon god and treated their women horribly. “If I ever see a Muslim, I’m gonna hit him and I’m gonna run,” Evans said of his first thoughts after reading the book. With that story and others, Evans told his narrative. He spoke for over an hour. People stood up and walked around, then sat back down, and his message was one of faith and how it can be shaken to the core and then built back up if one continues searching for the truth. “No one could deliver what I was asking,” Evans said of his search for his own truth. He tried Wicca, Hinduism,
Christianity, Buddhism and many others in his search for answers, and finally he stumbled upon Islam, which he says changed his life and showed him the answers he was looking for. “I want you to show me, tangibly, place in my hands, your proof of your truth,” Evans said of his first discussion with the imam, or prayer leader, at the mosque in his hometown. Evans found that proof in the Quran, a book considered by Muslims to be unchanged since it was first revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. For Evans, the Quran turned out to be the truth he needed. “Truth always comes with proof,” he said. “I could read this book and I could follow it with my logic and rationality.” Taqwa Gilani, senior in industrial engineering, and Aisha Azher, freshman in biology, said they were pleased by Evans’ presentation. “Personally I thought he did a good job of engaging everybody and drawing parallels to practical life,” Gilani said. Both spoke approvingly of Evans’ answer to a question that was asked during the presentation that demanded a defense of Islam and terrorism, implying the two were synonymous. Evans said he wasn’t going
to defend his religion; if he did, he’d have to spend all of his time doing it. Instead he would educate people about it. Gilani thought people tend to forget that just because a Muslim committed an act of terror didn’t make it an Islamic act or an act that other Muslims condone. She likened it to a Christian committing a sin and people saying that because the person who committed the sin was a Christian, that must mean it was part of the religion. “There are things that have nothing to do with Islam,” Gilani said. “The religion is perfect, but people are not.” Richard Webster, senior in chemistry and civil engineering, agreed with her. “Sometimes people pass judgement on a whole group of people based on the actions of a few.” Webster said. He was affected differently by Evan’s speech as their circumstances are similar. Webster, a Nevada native, converted to Islam when he was a sophomore in high school. While his experience of conversion was vastly different from Evans’ the end

Lawrence left his office in 468F Heady Hall and post as the director of economics Friday and has temporarily moved across Farmhouse Lane to 109 Curtiss Hall. Lawrence was hired to replace Gerald Miller, who retired. The announcement of Lawrence’s new position was made Dec. 15. “I was obviously proud,” Lawrence said of the announcement. “The work we do ... makes you very proud but makes you very humbled. There are a lot of people who have done a great job — they have buildings named after people that have been in similar positions.” Lawrence said the position

comes with a “great deal of learning curve.” “Jokingly I say I go from being an internationally recognized expert on a small slice of agriculture — the livestock sector — to knowing nearly nothing about just about everything,” Lawrence said. He said he’ll be learning more about horticulture, wildlife, water quality and environmental issues to better serve the new position. A native of Tabor, Iowa, Lawrence completed his undergraduate studies in animal science and earned his master’s degree in economics at Iowa State. He joined Iowa State as a faculty member on July 1, 1991. “I think by being a native of Iowa, coming up through the system here at Iowa State, I know a lot of the people, both as farmers and agencies in the state as well as our own staff,” he said. “If I was coming in from out of the state, that would even be a steeper learning curve in some respects.” Jack Payne, vice president for Extension and Outreach with ISU Extension, said he’s pleased to welcome Lawrence to ISU Extension. “He tells about missing the economics, but he brings that

debt, or just get an e-mail out to students and their parents about what tax breaks are available to them, Peterson said. Peterson said the one day she always looks forward to is the day at the Capitol because it is GSB’s big lobbying day. The three public universities — Iowa State, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa — come together to voice the same thoughts and the same messages to legislatures, Peterson said. “My goal for next year is to bring as many students as
possible with us. We’re going to have to do training sessions and prepare letters to professors to make sure they know students are doing something worthwhile, and the legislatures will ask difficult questions to the students,” Peterson said. “But if we start this in October or November when students seem to be the most upset, we could build off that momentum. We could really put our foot down and make an impact.” She doesn’t think of GSB as a powerful organization, just one that is supposed to represent the student body’s opinions and act as a resource for stu-
dents’ use. Peterson said she has a lot of goals for next year, but she likes to come into things and establish foundations that people can build off of every year. Running for office isn’t something she considered lightly. “I had plans to go to Greece, but when Jacob and I decided to run together, I knew it would be a great opportunity,” Peterson said. For more on Peterson’s and Wilson’s platform, their Web site www.petersonwilson.com features more on their goals for Campustown, diversity on campus and sustainability.
Boy Scouts from all around Iowa gathered Saturday to learn how to survive harsh Iowa winters military-style. The Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps hosted its annual winter survival program, welcoming 300 Boy Scouts from 8 a.m.–4 p.m. Classes included fire and shelter building, food and water procurement and preventing and treating cold weather injuries. Cadet Austin Anderson, junior in marketing, experienced his first year in charge of the event. “I’ve been coming to this since I was a Scout, so I figured it was my turn to take the reins and produce a positive result,” Anderson said. “I always looked up to guys in the uniform,” Anderson said. “I wanted to join the Army since the third grade.” He added that the program helped him decide to come to Iowa State and that he hopes it works the same way for others. Anderson said around 50 cadets are involved in the pro-

gram and that everything they teach the Boy Scouts are skills they learned in the Army and come from their own training manuals. He said the program is in its 20th year and that each year, word about the program spreads to more Boy Scout troops. “We stay in constant contact with the Boy Scout Council,” Anderson said. That council invites troops to come. But more importantly, troops tell neighboring troops about the program, which leads to a constant increase in the number of Boy Scouts in attendance. Troop leader Jeff Harryman said he brings his Scouts to the program because “it’s what they want to do.” His 12-year-old son Curtis — who was attending the program for the first time in his seven years as a Boy Scout — said the most interesting lesson was about clothing layers. Also, he enjoyed participating in a situp contest. “It was Hawkeye fans versus Cyclone fans, and I was on the Cyclone team, and I won,” Curtis said. “He showed up an Iowa fan,”
and volunteer opportunities. Dobbels said he believed it would be helpful for students to have something to show future employers what they did in college instead of having to list activities on a resume. Roling said he was also concerned with student debt. “Students have been bombarded with information on the rising cost of higher education this year,” Roling said. “We need to give them something to focus on, a way of taking action.” Roling said he was one of the people who helped to implement the peer-to-peer financial education group that is

Jeff said. “That’s been the highpoint of the day so far.” Fellow troop member Chance Jenkins, 12, was interested in joining the Army before attending the program. “My uncle was in the Army, and he got to eat a lot of food because he was skinny,” Jenkins said. He said visiting Iowa State for survival training has inspired him to come to Iowa State. “It’s one of the best schools in the state,” Jenkins said. Trevor Johnson, 11, was attending the program for the second time. “They’re not doing all the same courses,” Johnson said of the differences in the program from year-to-year. “We’re learning different things.” Johnson said his favorite class was about hygiene. He said they got to watch a cadet take a snow bath, and at the end they got to shave a balloon. Harryman, who was a Boy Scout growing up, said his favorite part of the program has been watching the cadets doing their jobs. “They’ve put on a great program,” Harryman said. “It’s great to see.”

Roling added that his and Dobbels’ goal will be making sure information is communicated with students. “The key point we have found is potential,” Dobbels said. “With a little extra motivation, whether it is in the classroom or through extracurricular activities, we need to make sure students are finding their potential.”

But I also see it as an opportunity to rejuvenate, rebuild and reiterate Iowa State University as a leader in agricultural extension and applied research.” Payne said Lawrence’s experience with dealing with the academic budget cuts will “lend him to do budget planning and make some of the difficult decisions that we have to make as we go forward in these tough financial times.” Lawrence will finish his half of his team teaching role with Chad Hart, assistant professor of economics.

ISLAM
from PAGE 3 result is similar. Webster, whose family wasn’t as highly religious as Evans’ wasn’t searching for a religion when he found his way to Islam. “When you come across something you know to be true, you want to learn more about it,” Webster said. His neighbors at the time were Muslim and they spoke freely to him about the religion as he got older and eventually he made the decision to convert. His family, much like Evans’ didn’t respond well when first told about the change. ”My family did not know much about Islam and therefore did not respond well” Webster said. Like Evans, Webster said he believes that there is only one God and that it is the most important teaching of Islam and that was a draw to both men. During his presentation Saturday, Evans said he began to question the Bible when he started reading the personal stories of the people considered the prophets of God that are spotlighted. “These are the people who God chose because of their greatness, these were supposed to be the greatest men of their time,” Evans said. And the stories he read about them horrified him. The first story was of Noah, Evans said. He didn’t know before he started to carefully study the Bible that there was a parallel story in the old testament that refers to Noah as basically being a drunkard. Evans, who said he’d seen the affects of alcoholism on his mother was not surprised by the idea that people didn’t listen to Noah when he told them a flood was coming. “Now I knew why he had no followers,” Evans said. “If you see a person who’s pissed himself and is passed out on a park bench and always drunk and then one day he’s standing on the park bench telling you a flood is coming and God is going to drown everyone, how many of you are going to get on a boat with this man. I didn’t see how God could send a man who was an alcoholic to save humanity.” Webster said he identified with Evans’ statement that the prophets in the Quran where of much higher moral character than the prophets portrayed in the Bible and that was one of the reasons he had more faith in the truth of the Quran than he did in the Bible. “If you consider God to be perfect, then you must also conclude that something that emanates from God, such as his teachings, would also be perfect for humanity,” Webster said. “Perfect teachings would guide people through faith and logic but would not make the following of the religion impossible. A perfect God would provide the means of forgiveness for when we deviate from his religion. God can forgive any sin.” Webster said that the most important thing that anyone could do when considering Islam was to educate themselves. “My advice to anyone who seeks the truth is to open the Quran and read it cover to cover,” Webster said. “An openhearted person who does this will not only learn about Islam but what it truly means to be Muslim.”
tural marketing — Lawrence is teaching the first half and Hart will be finishing the second half of the course after spring break. “He’s very good to work with,” Hart said. “With John, what you get is someone who he’s been at this now almost 20 years. He is an excellent teacher and he’s very good at Extension and Outreach as well.” Hart said the economics department will miss Lawrence. “We’re going to miss him on the teaching end and on the Extension end, because he’s such an effective teacher and Extension educator and now he’s going to be applying that on the administrative side. So it’s a boom for our administration, but it does put a hole in us here,” Hart said. “So hopefully we’ll be able to fill in, but whoever comes in to pick up what John’s been doing has some awfully big shoes to fill.”

“We’ll hopefully see a resolution soon,” Somerville said. Monday, Facilities Planning and Management employees will search campus buildings and remote areas, including steam tunnels. “I think everybody is doing what they can to try to locate Jon, and anyone who has information about his whereabouts is really encouraged to contact law enforcement,” Somerville said. Community members and friends have established a strong online presence dedicated to finding Lacina. A Facebook group called “Help find Jon Lacina!” created by Aaron Pierce, a family friend, has over 4,000 members. “He’s one of my best friends, and his family is in my thoughts and prayers,” said Parker Peterson, junior in graphic design. Ames residents are encouraged to examine their properties. An ISU News Service release asks people to look for a discarded wallet, piece of clothing or cell phone. If found, the items should not be touched. Anyone with information about, Lacina since Jan. 22 is asked to call the ISU Police at 515-294-4428, or 911.

Students postpone futures to transform Bali into popular late-night destination By Micaela Cashman Daily Staff Writer

™
Jay Chen and Phillip Tedja, owners of Project 20/20, 2424 Lincoln Way, are giving their customers the power of the vote. Chen and Tedja bought the former Bali Satay House in October. “We were looking to start a business, and this opportunity came along,” Chen said. For Chen, the possibility of owning his own club had always been something that interested him. “I didn’t think it’d be until later though,” he said. A management information systems major, Chen figured he’d be a computer technician or work for a big company. He is only taking one class this semester so that he has much more time to devote to Project 20/20. Tedja had planned to leave Ames when he was done with school, though buying the club has postponed both Chen’s and Tedja’s graduation dates. Tedja is not taking any classes this semester to focus on the club. Tedja’s family expects him to take over its business in the future, which he says includes stock trading. “I wanted to try out something before going back to the family business,” Tedja said. “I wanted to be able to say that I actually did something with my life first.” Chen, 21, and Tedja, 22, had their parents’ financial support, making it possible for them to purchase the Bali House. While some aspects of the Bali House will

remain a part of Project 20/20, most of the old bar is gone. “We took out almost everything,” Chen said. Now the club has a private VIP area, multiple big-screen televisions, an LED laser light display and a glass-top, light-up bar. Donald Parker, promotional director of Project 20/20, said the ambiance of the bar has changed as well.
“Bali had mostly live music,” Parker said. “This will be more of a club atmosphere. We have a huge dance floor, so we’ll cater more to a dance crowd.” However, Project 20/20 isn’t just for the dance scene. “We’re set up to cover everything,” Parker said. “There’s a lounge, so if you want to just sit and drink, you can.” Chen added they will serve food all night. “You can get a late-night meal,” he said. Part of what Chen says makes Project 20/20 different from every other club in town are the special events they’re planning. “Every month there will be a new party,” Chen said. “We’ll have a techno night, hip-hop, Latin and we’ll be open for suggestions.” Additionally, once a month the club will host an 18-and-over night. Chen said people can go to Project 20/20’s fan page on Facebook and vote for future drink specials. Fans can also vote on monthly events. Chen said this will give party-goers a say in their entertainment. Project 20/20 has inherited Bali House’s international cuisine. The menu includes food from China and Indonesia, Chen and Tedja’s respective home countries. In the future, Project 20/20 will also have a noodle bar. Chen said they came up with the name for the club because 20/20 refers to perfect vision, and they thought of their vision for the club to be perfect. “It’s our first project, and there’s more to come,” Chen said. For Chen, owning a club is a way to gain experience. “I want the experience of running my own business,” he said. “I want to be able to apply what I learn to other ventures, and I want to meet people and have more opportunities.” Chen and Tedja have been working to create their vision 12–13 hours a day, every day since Christmas break. While Chen said the experience has been tiring, he and Tedja agreed that finally opening Project 20/20 was “really exciting.”

Community collaborates for Campustown Ames organization, students join forces for mural project By Kyle Peterson Daily Staff Writer
Want to get involved? ■■ ■■

Students and community members are coming together to plan and paint an 80-foot-by-12-foot mural on the wall of T Galaxy, 206 Welch Ave., and project organizers want students’ help in deciding what it will look like. “We need ideas. Sketches, drawings, poems — whatever,” said Ian Ringgenberg, graduate student in educational leadership and policy studies and member of the Campustown Students Association, the group that initiated the project. Planning for the project began last year, Ringgenberg said. “We just got this feeling that we wanted something fun and artsy and student-led in the area,” Ringgenberg said. “T Galaxy has this big,

white wall.” The group contacted the owner and received permission to move forward with the project. The group then faced the challenge of figuring out how to actually paint it. “At some point, I think we all really realized that we had no clue how to paint a mural,” Ringgenberg said. So the students connected with Ames Collaborative Art, a community art group founded in July. Ames Collaborative Art has taken the lead on fundraising and coordinating the project, said Kristin Roach, the group’s executive director. “It was kind of a perfect fit — she

was kind of looking for that first big project,” Ringgenberg said. Roach said that a core group of three to five volunteer artists will take all of the student and community submissions and unify them into a single mural design. Then the painting will be done by teams of volunteers — from school-age and up. “Really, anyone can be involved in the painting process,” Roach said. “It’ll be a grid system. Almost like a paint by numbers.” Additional shading and detail will then be added by the core artists. But first the wall will need to be prepped. The current paint needs to be scraped off and the wall needs to

be washed and coated with an antifungal agent and primer. “Last week of April, first week of May is when we’ll start painting,” Roach said. Painting could take several weeks, depending on the weather, but Roach said she hopes to dedicate the mural during the first week of June. When students return for the fall semester, they’ll be greeted by a more colorful Campustown. And it’s just the beginning for Ames Community Art. “The mural project will be our first public work,” Roach said, but added the group hopes to continue producing. “We’re planning for an annual mural or large public-scale work each year.” The group is applying for several grants to fund the Campustown painting project. “The whole project from start to finish is going to be about $8,000,” Roach said. “Almost all of it, except for $200 has been donated or spoken for or donated in-kind.”

ESPN Firing:
Conversations can maintain community ties As many of you are undoubtedly aware, one of our fellow students has recently gone missing. According to various statements, news releases and posters, the student, Jonathan Lacina, was last seen the night of Jan. 22, leaving a friend’s place, at 300 Stanton Ave. First, we’d like to say that the Editorial Board hopes Jon is found quickly and in safe conditions. Secondly, we’d like to encourage the ISU community to band together, not only in support of Jon and his family, but for all your fellow students and community members. How often have we remained silent on CyRide, even when seated next to a face we recognize yet never speak with? How many times do we leave our dorms or apartments at the same time as our neighbors, acknowledging their presence with hardly anything more than a nod? How many seats have we left empty in a classroom because we’d rather not sit by people we don’t know, even though we see them regularly and develop an understanding and sometimes appreciation for their personality? These familiar strangers are not idle pieces of scenery during your college adventure. They’re real people with real lives, hopes, dreams, fears, loves and more. Jon was last seen on Jan. 22. The alert went out more than a week later, when Jon’s father reported not being able to get a hold of his son. We on the Editorial Board understand that, as college students, we are far more independent than we were as high school students. We also understand that college is a time of defining oneself, and there may be certain people we just don’t feel like being around or talking to. But, at the same time, we are all part of one community, and we should have a connection and responsibility to one another. How much sooner could police have been notified if someone on Jon’s floor had been close enough to the young man to notice his absence? When Jon left the building on Jan. 22, did someone call to make sure he got home safely? Did Jon venture out alone that night, or was he surrounded by friends who would watch his back and keep him safe? We’re not saying those close to Jon didn’t do these things. We don’t mean to criticize his friends. If anything, we should look to such friends as examples of what we should be. We should know that when someone needs help, we should offer assistance in whatever way we can and, sometimes, that means something as simple as being there for someone or getting to know them. Reach out to your community members. Say hello, learn their name, make small talk. In today’s age of Facebook updates, Twitter feeds and instant messaging, it’s easy to forget the lost art of conversation — that the people around you are real. They are real. Jon’s disappearance is reminding us of that, in a powerful way. A lot of us wish we could do something about it, but don’t know how to help. But as stated above, there really is a simple solution. Keep an open heart, mind and hand. Because when someone really needs help, maybe it’ll be your hand they catch. If you have any information regarding Jon Lacina’s disappearance, no matter how trivial it may seem, please contact ISU Police at 515-294-4428 or Ames Police at 515-239-5133.

Cash over controversy Writers like Shirley shouldn’t lose their jobs over unrelated works
P
aul Shirley, a former basketball player for Iowa State, is now also a former writer for ESPN. After a recent piece, entitled “If You Rebuild It, They Will Come” appeared on an unrelated Web site, ESPN decided to stop publishing his work. For those of you who haven’t read it, Shirley’s writing was about why he has decided not to donate money to the relief effort in Haiti. Basically, he expresses apprehension at how well that money will be used, and questions the wisdom of constantly rebuilding over and over again in such a disaster-prone area of the world. The way in which he does this, though, is a bit more controversial than that brief summary. For example, the part that says: “Dear Haitians — First of all, kudos on developing the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Your commitment to human rights, infrastructure, and birth control should be applauded. As we prepare to assist you in this difficult time, a polite request: If it’s possible, could you not rebuild your island home in the image of its predecessor? Could you not resort to the creation of flimsy shanty and shack-towns? And could some of you maybe use a condom once in a while?
Blake Hasenmiller is a senior in industrial engineering and economics from DeWitt.
Sincerely, The Rest of the World” Unsurprisingly, a lot of people are less than happy about this. ESPN’s official statement on the issue was, “He was a part-time freelance contributor. The views he expressed on another site of course do not at all reflect our company’s views on the Haiti relief efforts. He will no longer contribute to ESPN.” I have no problem with ESPN’s decision to stop paying Shirley for his services. They probably assumed that if they didn’t, it would cost them because people would reflect their feelings of anger toward Shirley in the general direction of ESPN. What I do have a problem with is that this decision was probably a good one. There is this overwhelming feeling in America — especially in the business world, where these things can affect your pocketbook so easily — that you have to tiptoe around everyone’s feelings in order to keep from offending anyone. And it’s things like this that threaten to keep valuable discussion from happening. Shirley’s piece was, when not taken out of context, not really that bad. It raised a lot of good points and certainly had potential to
spark some good debate on many important topics. But if Shirley had written in a more politically correct way in order to pander to the masses, the masses probably never would have heard about it in the first place. By spicing it up a bit, he significantly extended his audience. Good for him. And to be fair, Shirley stops many times to pander to the potential angry mob about how he’s not suggesting that the Haitians deserved their fate or that he’s not sympathetic. Not to say that sort of thing ever does any good. He also wrote a follow-up piece pretty much going over all that stuff again, also to no avail. He ends his follow-up by saying, “While I will not apologize for writing my column, I do accept the repercussions associated with writing it and hope that some good may come out of those repercussions: that people will stop and think about their own motivations for giving and that someone else might be inspired to come up with a better way to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters like the one in Haiti.” This refusal to apologize for the fact that his piece offended some people was exactly the right thing to do. By refusing to give those who perpetuate the “never say anything that anyone might consider to be mean” idea what they want, he takes away a bit of their power. And with a few more people like Shirley, maybe some day writing an unrelated piece on an unrelated Web site about an unrelated topic will no longer be enough to make someone lose their job.
Movie Review:
More than another revenge tale W hy is it that cops seem more tragic when they’re from Boston? In Mel Gibson’s latest cop incarnation, “Edge of Darkness”, he plays an aged officer on the verge of retirement whose life revolves around the happy memories of his daughter as a child. When she comes to visit him and is showing signs of extreme illness, they walk out the front door only to have her shot down by what seems to be gunmen intending to kill Gibson, but missing. This story has the perfect layout for a revenge tale full of action and explosions reminiscent of the “Lethal Weapon” series, and that was what I fully expected walking into the theater. I was mistaken. As this story crosses back and forth from the psychology of loss or morality-based story-arcs, I realized this movie was an attempt to amalgamate meaningfulness with intrigue that got lost in creation. If this story had been free of any restraints for running length it might have been really amazing. The script was adapted from a BBC series from the ’80s, which would explain the film’s seeming

desire to expand on characters and story, and why the movie feels like it’s missing the same sort of details as omitted in the “Harry Potter” series’ transition to film. All aside, Gibson gives a believable Bostonian accent, apart from it just sounding wrong coming from him. And the rest of the extras actually have that Boston accent enough of the time to keep the feel. But the real treat in the film comes from Ray Winstone, who plays the “man in black” that the corrupt government officials turn to for cleanup. Winstone’s character is probably the most interesting and appealing in “Edge of Darkness,” yet he receives fairly little screen time. The insights into his motivations are most of the details that seem to be missing. His dark, methodical government spook-ability are the classic personification of those
scary men that make someone disappear. The action in the movie is of a nice, mild sort. No Michael Bay moments, just action in its raw sense, without the glitz and glamour. Have no fear, though, there’s plenty of this violence to enjoy. The beautiful part is that violence hardly ever dominates the scene. The story maintains prominence and the violence plays secondfiddle, as it should. The few laughing or joking moments play like the violence by adding to the story — like the repeated double entendre comment, “Nothing is legal in Massachusetts.” Without giving away any of the twists and turns of the plot, there’s not a whole lot more to pick at. The story was good, but missing ... something. The acting was good, but not Oscar level. The directing was comfortable,
but nothing groundbreaking. The sound was clear and realistic without trying to win awards. The movie just went by pleasantly. Well, except for the last couple minutes. Those could have been done better. The premise behind it is built up and you already know how the tragic life of this Boston cop is going to end up about 15 minutes into the film. The problem isn’t in the predictability, but in the way it was done. It just didn’t have the comfortable feel of the rest of the film. It was like the director and the writer said, “Hey, interns, wanna do the aftermath of the movie? It’s a simple thing that we just want to know if you can screw up.” And they did. So, apart from the last few minutes, the movie is well done. It’s worth watching in theaters or at home. But be in the mindset for a story. This isn’t a Hollywoodof-today sort of movie. It feels more like a kick-back to the Bogart films from days of yore. Maybe that’s something the film industry should look to start doing: making old-style films, rather than just remaking everything.
State of the Union:
International affairs important for America On Wednesday, President Barack Obama delivered his second State of the Union speech, a major opportunity to reflect on his first full year in office and address the historic challenges facing our country. While the president’s agenda is full, most urgently with the ongoing rescue efforts in Haiti, I hope Obama will take the time to reaffirm his vision of America’s strength and place in the world in the upcoming year.

It is therefore imperative that Congress pledge to meet Obama’s request for the international affairs account in full for the 2011
budget. These are the kind of foreign policy investments with multiple benefits and a record of proven success that we need in these difficult and uncertain times, and I hope our representatives will support them. As a member of the advocacy group ONE, I urge the president and Congress to support America’s proven and cost-effective efforts that are saving millions of lives from diseases like AIDS and malaria worldwide and combating extreme poverty and global hunger.

Comment of the Day:
Editorial Cartoon: Wayne Stayskal/McClatchy-Tribune
Today’s comments were left in response to the article “LETTERS: Bridge destruction affects residents” over the weekend. Bradley, You hit the nail on the head. The city, nor University care about what the students think/feel about what goes on in this city. They would rather throw money away on a new water park, but not save a landmark of Ames and ISU. Lets face it, Ames and ISU would probably be VERY different if that bridge did not exist. It’s a sad day.

think we should talk to the state legislature, who allocates half of the budget for Iowa State. It seems to me we should be working to stay in contact with them every opportunity we can get. Lastly, the student last week failed to mention some of the other great goals the Peterson/Wilson ticket has in mind for 2010. They have both worked hard on the front lines for green efforts on campus and have some great goals for the continuation of that. Vice President Peterson has co-founded a new organization on campus — The Green Umbrella. This organization works to open up lines of communication between all of the sustainability organizations on campus and present a unified voice to the administration. They also participated, for the first time at Iowa State, in the National Campus
As a student on the ISU campus, I would also like to share my thoughts about the Peterson/Wilson team who is running for Government of the Student Body president and vice president. After review of the platforms they list on their Web site and learning about what these two individuals have already done for the ISU campus, I find it very hard to believe any of the negative comments made in the paper last Friday by a different student. First of all, I am very excited to see a pair of students with such high goals for our campus. It seems to me no harm can come with having large goals, but rather, having large, attainable goals make bettering our campus possible. I also find it ironic the student who spoke negatively last week does not

Sustainability Day. They have worked to help revitalize the area in Campustown as well. Both Wilson and Peterson seem very committed to not spend student fee money to accomplish their regenerative mission. However, they are working with students to present a message to the university and the city of Ames that Campustown is an important to students. Peterson is the current president of the Campustown Student Association and, with the help of another student, she restarted the business association in Campustown. As president of GSB, I believe Peterson will be able to continue her hard work to make Campustown a great place for all students. I am very excited to show support for a ticket that has its goals laid out for students to see and inquire about. A vote for Peterson/Wilson in the upcoming elections will be a vote for hardworking students who will continue to serve all students.

There’s always much discussion about why the Ames Community School District grows so slowly. The city’s Land Use Policy Plan attempts to support school district growth by encouraging housing development in the southwest. But a land sale reported in the Ames Tribune earlier this month once again suggests those who buy and sell large chunks of undeveloped Ames land simply won’t cooperate. Consider this deal. On Nov. 24, 2009, home builder Bob Friedrich, Jr., representing something called Ringgenberg Estates LLC, told the Ames City Council that the owners and developers were selling 38 acres of land in southwest Ames. They no longer planned to build 140 homes there as long intended. The city has wanted housing on this land for over a decade. The LUPP reflects this priority. The land is in the Ames Community School District. The land has been platted for housing since 2005. Public investments have been made to support growth in this area, for example, a new interchange at South Dakota and Highway 30. Now come forward the developers, people in the business of building homes, and instead announce a land sale. The Ames Tribune reported a price of $560,860. You might reasonably ask, why is this such a big deal? After all, the land is already annexed, the land is already zoned residential and the land is already plotted for houses. Someone else, you might think, will build these homes, grow the school district and raise the tax base. Enter the university. Iowa State can legally ignore the LUPP, and it will. Iowa State won’t be building new homes, growing the school district and growing the tax base. No, the university plans to farm this land. Someone really should explain why Iowa State would pay nearly $15,000 an acre to grow corn or soybeans in the city limits. How or where could the university, which seems to be cutting everything imaginable in its budget, even find $560,860 to buy some cropland? And finally, why would Iowa State make a purchase so contrary to the larger community interest? Whatever happened to the notion of good corporate citizenship? Shouldn’t the university be supporting the LUPP, doing what it can to grow the school district and avoiding actions that damage the Ames tax base? What if this deal interferes with the orderly development of Ames for many years to come? One need only look at how many years of ISU dairy farming distorted the normal development of Ankeny. The Iowa legislature finally had to intervene and insist the university divest. The legislators should intervene again. The university should never have made this purchase, and it should be required to divest.

Kansas State, Utah game dates changed
Cyclones hang on late By Chris Cuellar Daily Staff Writer
The ISU athletic department announced Friday it has changed the dates of two football games for the 2010 season. Iowa State will now open Big 12 play against Kansas State on Sept. 18 in Kansas City. The game with the Wildcats — the second against Kansas State at Arrowhead Stadium — had previously been scheduled for Oct. 9. The Cyclones’ game against Utah — previously set for Sept. 18 —will now take place on the then-vacated Oct. 9 slot, making it the latest Iowa State will play a non-conference game since playing Connecticut in the final week of the 2002 season. “Kansas State University requested our assistance in helping them adjust their 2010 football schedule, and we were able to do so by working out a change with the University of Utah that is beneficial to our football program,” said ISU Athletic Director Jamie Pollard in a statement released Friday. —Daily Staff
Track and Field
Men’s team ties for third, led by Bor, Mebrahtu By Dan Tracy Daily Staff Writer Former ISU cross country and track and field coach Bill Bergan steered both teams toward success in distance running over his 20 years Bor as a coach, which made it no coincidence that 39 of the men’s 62 team points came from the men’s distance runners in the Bill Bergan Invitational. The team’s 62-point final score Mehbrahtu gave the Cyclone men a tie for third place with Big 12 North opponent Kansas State. “On both the men’s and the women’s side, Corey [Ihmels] is building a really good distance program, which has always been the core of the program,” Bergan said. “I think that should be his main focus and build around them and get some conference championships.”

Iowa State (13–8, 2–4 Big 12) overcame an early 14-point deficit to Colorado (11–10, 2–5) and 32 percent first-half shooting to defeat the Buffaloes 64–63 at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday night. Colorado got a shot off at the final buzzer after a turnover on the inbound play, but CU forward Marcus Relphorde was unable to get the ball to roll off the backboard cleanly. Craig Brackins had his first 20-point scoring night of the conference season, totaling 27 points on 11-of-21 shooting from the field. The junior went for 22 of Iowa State’s 39 second-half points. The 13 rebounds he contributed also gave him his first double-double in Big 12 play. “It’s good to have Craig back, with that kind of intensity and really wanting the ball down low,” said ISU coach Greg McDermott. “Anybody that’s forgotten what Craig can do when he isn’t double-teamed, I think tonight was a reminder of that.” The Cyclones were quicker to the glass all night, exploiting their interior size advantage to a 52–26 rebounding margin, but Colorado hit nine 3-pointers to keep the game close. Neither team reached 40 points until the 12-minute mark of the second half, taking turns with defensive consistency. “In the first couple minutes, our team came out real flat,” said ISU center Justin Hamilton. “I was just trying to do the best that I could to try and get a spark, and it worked.” Hamilton played one of his best games of the year, logging 10 points, 12 rebounds and five blocks. The 6-foot-11-inch sophomore’s effort overcame another statistical schism; Iowa State turned the ball over 21 times to Colorado’s four. “Ham did a great job, he was our spark plug today,” Brackins said. “If Ham wouldn’t have come and shown today, it would have just been terrible.”

ket over a helpless defender has been missed in recent weeks at Hilton Coliseum — until Saturday night. Brackins has been frustrated by double- and sometimes triple-teams throughout the Big 12 season thus far. On Saturday, however, Brackins saw mostly single coverage against an undersized Colorado team. He took advantage, going off for 27 points and 13 rebounds, collecting his first
double-double of the conference season in the Cyclones 64–63 win over the Buffaloes. “It’s good to have Craig back,” ISU coach Greg McDermott said after the game. “That kind of intensity, him really wanting the ball down low, I think for anybody that has forgotten what he can do when he isn’t double-teamed, tonight was a reminder of that.” Last season, Brackins was second in the Big 12 in scoring
behind eventual No. 1 pick in the NBA draft, Blake Griffin, with 21.8 points per game in the conference season. He was also third in the Big 12 with 10.3 rebounds per game. This year, as teams are throwing more defenders Brackins’ way and the Cyclones have gotten more scoring from other players, Brackins has gotten off to a slower start in conference play. His average of 15.2 points per game this year is good enough
for 14th in the Big 12. His rebounding numbers have also dropped off, as he is eighth in the Big 12 with 7.8 rebounds per game. Even with the single-team defense and small defenders against Colorado, Brackins still struggled through the first half, shooting just 2-of-7 from the field and scoring five points. He also pulled down just three rebounds.

By Kasey Sutherland Daily Staff Writer Sixteen personal records were broken this weekend at the Bill Bergan Invitational at Lied Recreation Athletic Center as the ISU Caffrey women’s track and field teams earned a second-place finish against several Big 12 competitors. The ISU women finished runner-up to Big 12 rival Nebraska, who also won the men’s meet. Penticoff Strong performances were turned in again from the women’s throwing squads behind Laishema Hampton, who threw a personal best of 60-10 3/4 to win the weight throw and earn a third-place finish in the shot put. Sophomore Danielle Frere finished third in the weight throw ahead of junior Britta Christofferson, who also finished fourth in the shot put. Hayli Bozarth added to Christofferson and Frere’s personal bests with a throw of 52-07 1/2. “I thought we were going to have a good day, we had a great day,” said throwing coach Grant Wall. “It was like we are in third or fourth gear and we have two or three gears left to show. We’re not nearly where we’re going to be.”

Minor mistakes land Iowa State in second By Kelsey Jacobs Daily Correspondent The No. 14 ISU gymnastics team had a solid night at Hilton Coliseum on Friday in the trimeet against Michigan and BYU. The Cyclones’ efforts proved enough to surpass BYU, who scored a 192.050, but they fell short of No. 17 Michigan, 196.000–195.625. The Cyclones went into the meet Friday with something to prove on the floor exercise. Last year at Michigan, the team had some rough performances on the floor with several girls going out of bounds. Iowa State’s apparatus score from the 2009 meet in Ann Arbor was a 48.050. This year the team proved itself when Iowa State came from behind during its last event, the floor exercise. The event included career-bests from Celine Paulus, 9.850 points; Jody McKellar, 9.825; and Melanie Tham, 9.800. Michelle Browning chipped in with a 9.875, a team best. The Cyclones finished with a season-high score of 49.175 on the floor. Coach Jay Ronayne said he was worried dur-

ing warm-ups on the floor exercise because the team was looking uncharacteristically shaky. “We were down so much after three events, we really had to dig deep,” Ronayne said. “We ended up with our biggest score of the year on floor.” The Cyclones (2–3) began the night on vault with a score of 48.875. Alex Grant earned a career-best 9.800, while Paulus led the pack with a 9.825 and Browning vaulted a 9.775. At the end of the first rotation, BYU (0–5) had a 47.675 on balance beam and Michigan (5–1) had a 48.825 on the uneven bars. Next, the Cyclones took over on the uneven bars with a score of 48.725. Ashley Kent helped the team by posting a season-high 9.825 points. McKellar and Browning both earned a 9.750 and Grant had a solid 9.725. Michigan took the lead from Iowa State after the second rotation with a solid 49.050 on the balance beam. During their third rotation, the Cyclones scored a 48.850 on beam. Notable efforts were
After freshman Andrew Long was pinned in the opening matchup of the afternoon, things easily could have ended badly for the ISU wrestling team Sunday at Friedman Wrestling Center in Ithaca, N.Y. However, the Cyclones (10–2, 2–0 Big 12) won seven of the last nine matchups to bounce back and defeat No. 6 Cornell (3–4–1) by a score of 24–13. “It is exciting to come out of here with a win,” said coach Kevin Jackson in a news release Sunday. “Cornell is a very strong team. To win seven matches to three losses is huge, and we’ll take that moving forward. We won the tight matches, and that is important.” In what was considered the marquee match of the meet, the fifth-ranked Long (125 pounds) squared off against second-ranked Troy Nickerson. Nickerson scored a surprise fall on Long at the 2:03 mark in the first period, giving Cornell an early 6–0 lead. Senior Nick Fanthorpe (133) got the Cyclones on the board with a 6–3 upset decision over Mike Grey. Fanthorpe hit the ground running in the first period by grabbing a 4–0 lead. In the previous meeting between the two, Fanthorpe fell to Grey in the 2009 Cliff Keen National Duals. Cornell’s pair of top-rated wrestlers proved why they’re worth their rankings. Kyle Dake defeated sophomore Dalton Jensen by a 7–1 decision in the 141-pound matchup.

On Saturday night at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena, the ISU hockey team picked up right where it left off on Friday night and earned a 5–0 shutout win over the Eastern Michigan Eagles. After the weekend sweep of the Eagles, the Cyclones earned eight much-needed points toward the American Collegiate Hockey Association and toward seeding for the upcoming Central States Collegiate Hockey League tournament. “After the split last weekend with Illinois, it was nice to come home and sweep and get those eight points,” said associate head coach Brian Wierson. ISU freshman goalie Paul Karus earned his first shutout win of the season as well. Karus was able to stop all 10 of Eastern Michigan’s shots on goal. “It was real nice getting that first shutout of my career,” Karus said. “I’ve been getting halfgame shutouts all year, so to finally get this one was big.” The Cyclone defense was a huge part in Karus’ win. Coming into the series, the Cyclones were allowing 25 shots on goal per game, but they walked away from this game allowing the opposing team only 10 shots on goal. “[Our defense] does a good
The Cyclones would add another goal right before the period on a power-play goal by forward Jordan Pascale, assisted by sophomore Cody Steele. Iowa State took a 2–0 lead into the locker room at the first intermission. In the second period, a goal nearly five minutes into the period by ISU senior forward Pete Majkozak continued the Cyclones scoring run to put them up 3–0. Nine minutes later, junior forward Mitch Paulsen found the back of the net, scoring on a deflection after sophomore Nick Larsen’s slap shot. The goal would be the last score of the period, and the Cyclones took a dominant 4–0 lead into the last period of play. In the period, Iowa State only allowed one shot by Eastern Michigan. “We all played well positionally, we all communicated and we did our jobs, and that’s what made a difference [in limiting shots],” Kurbatsky said. In the third, Larsen added another goal to the Cyclones’ lead on a power play by getting the puck through Eastern Michigan goalie Rob Cupit’s legs. The Cyclones would go on to coast to victory and their ninth sweep of the season. The Cyclones have seen both goalies earn shutouts in the last two weeks: Karus this weekend and junior Eric Hudson last

Daily Horoscope : by Nancy Black and Stephanie Clements
Pisces: You’re where you belong. Today’s Birthday: (2/1/10) Over the coming year, you will learn more than you thought possible about change. By remaining flexible throughout the process, you can absorb this with grace. If you expand your love to ripple out to others, it will come back to you exponentially. To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 5 -- Take time today to consider the desires of others, as well as your own. Get creative at work by bouncing ideas off each group member and getting their responses.
Level: MEDIUM INSTRUCTIONS: Complete the grid so each row, column and 3-by-3 box (in bold borders) contains every number 1 to 9. For strategies on solving Sudoku, visit www.sudoku.org.uk.
Solution:
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 5 -- Choose your battles carefully, considering both immediate gratification and longer-term benefits. Change your tune to suit the tempo of the moment. Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Excitement on the home front spills over into the career arena. Creative use of time allows you to
accommodate family and work. Cancer (June 22-July 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Share your words and feelings generously. Who knows? The feedback you receive could give you a boost over a huge obstacle. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Your mind and heart battle for control. You want to side with heart, of course. However, power rests in logic for you today. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 6 -- You and a partner overcome a perceived disagreement on a fundamental issue. You were just using different words to describe the same feeling. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is a 5 -- Dreams can provide poetry and metaphor for actions. Look for double meanings in recalled images, and allow your subconscious to flavor your decisions. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Cash flow (or lack of it) cramps your style. However, you have plenty of
little projects that don’t require money today. Focus on those. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Nothing succeeds like success. Your only limit today is your capacity to remain flexible under duress. Bring in an expert to sort out a few details. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 5 -- If you have plans to head off into the sunset, you’re on the right track. This could mean business travel, or meeting your partner for a lovely rendezvous. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 6 -- The only thing that slows you down is getting your ideas into a format others can use. This happens when you rearrange the details until they feel just right. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 6 -- Group efforts thrive today because everyone is on the same page concerning practical issues. Today you really feel like you’re where you belong.

Cyclones lose after close first half MANHATTAN, Kan. — Maybe a week off was all Kansas State needed. Ashley Sweat scored 31 points and the Wildcats (11–9, 3–3 Big 12) snapped a threegame losing streak with a 73–67 win over No. 22 Iowa State on Sunday. It was the Wildcats’ second win over a ranked opponent in four tries this season and kept Iowa State winless in Manhattan since the 2006-’07 season. It also put an end to the Cyclones’ four-game winning streak, which included victories over No. 20 Texas
GYMNASTICS made by Kent with a 9.825 and Browning, who earned a seasonhigh 9.800. Both McKellar and Paulus earned 9.775. At the end of the rotation, the Cyclones trailed Michigan 146.950–146.450 and led BYU, who had a running score of 143.900. Even with a season-high score of 49.175 during their fourth rotation on the floor exercise, the Cyclones couldn’t quite top the Wolverines and had to settle with a split over BYU. Kent attributed the loss to small mistakes, but she said the important thing is that the team

Of those 39 points, 20 came via the second- through fifthplace finishes of senior Guor Marial, sophomore Yonas Mebrahtu, junior Hillary Bor and senior Kiel Uhl in the men’s 3,000-meter run. Marial and Mebrahtu both set personal records in the race, but neither were able to catch Minnesota’s Chris Rombough as he raced out to a NCAA provisional qualifying time of 8:04.71. “I had nothing to go on at the end of the race,” Marial said. “Me and [Yonas] were hoping to work together with the Minnesota guys, but unfortunately it was just too late and we couldn’t touch him.” A trio of Cyclones in the mile run scored 15 points, led by senior Brandon Rooney, who won
the race in 4:05.63. Senior Jory Zunich took fourth in 4:09.72 and senior Dan Fadgen ran sixth with a time of 4:12.47. Sophomore sprinter Ian Warner won the 60-meter dash in 6.72 seconds after finishing second in last week’s ISU Open. Warner bettered his previous personal record of 6.76 seconds and inched his way closer to the NCAA provisional qualifying time of 6.71 seconds. “It’s exciting because I ran the best time I’ve ever run, but at the same time it’s real disappointing to be that close,” Warner said. “[.01 seconds off is] the closest you can get, but I’m excited because we still have four weeks until [the Big 12 Indoor Championships], so I know I have a lot of time to improve and get the provisional time.” Sophomore Amara Sama and freshman Pat Lewis took
left in the half, but Iowa State’s Jessica Schroll connected on a jumper as time expired to make it 29–27. The Wildcats buckled down defensively in the second half, forcing a scoring drought of nearly 5 minutes that helped them pull away. “You win games by finishing plays and doing things at both ends of the floor,” ISU coach Bill Fennelly said. “Defensively today, we were not very good.”

is hitting routines and being solid. “If we had taken four less little steps somewhere along the way, we would have ended up with a 196.025 instead,” Ronayne said. “We are working on it during the week and getting better.” Browning, who earned a career-best 39.200 in the all-around, said the team was still content with its score. “There were points where we weren’t as strong as last week,” Browning said. “We’re still really happy because we put on a good performance.” The Cyclones will next compete when they travel to Pittsburgh to face Pittsburgh, Rutgers and SUNY-Brockport at 8 p.m. Friday.

and No. 11 Oklahoma. Kelsey Bolte scored 19 points and Alison Lacey had 13 to lead Iowa State (16–4, 4–3). Anna Prins and Denae Stuckey added 10 points each. “We’ve had trouble coming here and playing the last few years,” Bolte said. “It’s a tough place to play.” Neither team could establish an advantage in the opening period, which included seven ties. A 3-pointer by Sweat gave the Wildcats a four-point lead with 11 seconds

After getting the nod over regular starter Duke Burk, redshirt freshman Chris Spangler (174) fell victim to an 11–2 major decision at the hands of Mack Lewnes. Lewnes’s major decision nullified Jon Reader’s 14–4 major decision in the 165-pound weight class and tied the score at 13. However, Jerome Ward (184) responded by squeaking out a 3–2 decision over Steve Bosak. Ward held a 1–0 lead going into the third period, where each wrestler scored a takedown. The win put the
fifth and sixth in the 60-meter dash with times of 6.96 and 6.99 respectively. Sama also ran a personal record 22.10 seconds in the 200-meter dash, good enough for fourth place. “He’s learning a lot of things,” said sprints and hurdles coach Nate Wiens. “The guy is a freaky athlete, so now it’s just managing what his capabilities actually are, then continuing to push him to the best of his ability.” Ihmels was able to catch up with his former coach, Bergan, throughout the meet Saturday. “He’s a tremendous man and he did a lot for Iowa State names, so it’s nice to be able to recognize him as this will hopefully be the first of many events [in honor of him],” Ihmels said. The Cyclones will continue their stretch of home meets next weekend with another new event, the Cyclone Open.
Cyclones up by three points. Top-ranked Jake Varner (197) was able to clinch the victory for the Cyclones with a dominating 19–1 technical fall over Cornell’s Cam Simaz, who he had previously defeated at the 2009 Cliff Keen Duals. Varner jumped out to an early 8–1 lead in the first period and didn’t look back. The technical fall gave the Cyclones an eightpoint lead going into the final matchup of the night. The Cyclones continue their road trip at Arizona State next Sunday. The Sun Devils are ranked 21st and will be Iowa State’s eighthstraight ranked opponent.

The runners were in high gear Saturday behind AllAmerican distance runner Lisa Koll, who sat out the 3,000-meter event this weekend in favor of the one-mile run, where she set a personal best of 4:41.37 for the Cyclones. Sophomore Betsy Saina turned in a strong performance yet again, earning points for the Cyclones with her fourth-place finish in the one-mile run. Semehar Tesfaye turned in a strong run in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 9:37.87, a new personal best. Alphine Tuliamuk finished fifth in the 3,000 ahead of redshirt freshman Dani Stack, who also set a new personal record Saturday. Senior Erin Penticoff set a personal best with a second-
DEFENSE from PAGE 10
Iowa State was down 18–4 at the 12:14 mark of the first half, but went on a 21–6 run from there and went into halftime down 31–25. The Cyclones knocked down a season-low single 3-pointer, but a 10–0 run in the second half that gave them a 41–39 lead led them to victory. McDermott’s ballclub had been second in the nation in 3-point shooting percentage coming into the game, and 11th in the Big 12 in free-throw

from PAGE 10 Brackins was able to turn his game around in the second half, however, scoring 22 of the teams 39 second-half points and grabbing 10 boards after the break. “[At halftime] I said I was going to make a layup because I missed so many [in the first half],” Brackins said. ”I got really frustrated at myself. I told myself, ‘If I miss another one, I’m just going to grab it, and I’m going to keep doing it until it goes in.’” That is exactly what he
place finish in the 800-meter run, finishing behind North Tama’s own Sara Stoakes, now running for Kansas State. Senior Jenna Caffrey carried last weekend’s successes into the Bill Bergan Invitational and captured second-place finishes in the 60-meter dash and hurdles. Caffrey’s time of 7.68 in the 60-meter dash eclipsed her previous personal best of 7.77 seconds. “I’m being consistent,” Caffrey said. “ Last meet I came out and ran a [personal record] in the 60 hurdles; each meet I’m just looking to cut hundredths off so when we cut to conference I’ll be cutting tenths.” Caffrey’s effort last week in the 60-meter hurdles at the ISU Open was quick enough to earn her a provisional qualifying spot for the NCAA Cham-
shooting, at just 62 percent. Iowa State hit 21 of its 28 freethrow attempts. “Obviously we were fortunate to win,” McDermott said. “The start of both halves left a lot to be desired, and we have to figure out whether we have to make some changes there or just value the basketball.” The win keeps Iowa State out of the conference cellar with Nebraska and gives the team its first win at Hilton Coliseum of the Big 12 schedule. Iowa State heads to Waco, Texas, on Wednesday to take on the Baylor Bears. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
did, although he didn’t miss too many shots in the second half, shooting 9-of-14 from the floor to lead the Cyclones to victory. Despite the slow starts to both the Big 12 Conference season and the game, McDermott had only good things to say about his star power forward. “I’m not going to be critical of Craig Brackins because there aren’t many people in this room or in that stadium that would have made the decision he made,” McDermott said. “We owe him a lot more than he owes us.”
pionships. Kianna Elahi and Donnise Powell continued the trend of personal bests for the Cyclones as they both set new personal bests in the 400-meter run. Sophomore Callan Jacobson earned a new personal best in the 200-meter dash, behind Lashawn Wright’s secondplace finish of 25.07. Coach Corey Ihmels was please with the performance. “I thought we had some aggressiveness, it was good for our kids to have that this weekend,” Ihmels said. “I think we’re set up where we get better every week, and the competition gets better every week, too.” The ISU track team continues its season next weekend at home again with the Cyclone Open. The meet will begin at 3 p.m. Friday with competition concluding Saturday.
