Romney wins Florida primary

By David.Bartholomew @iowastatedaily.com

Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney won the Florida Republican primary Tuesday night after a bitter fight with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich over the Sunshine State.

The former Mass. governor was able to bring in 47 percent of the Floridian vote while Gingrich was only able to muster 32 percent. Former

Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum came in third with 13 percent, and Texas Rep. Ron Paul came in fourth with 7 percent.

The battle for Florida got intense after Gingrich was able to pull out a victory in the South Carolina primary on Jan. 21, and many thought Gingrich would be hard to slow down going into Florida.

However, after a series of attack advertising against Gingrich, defiant debate performances from Romney and strong polling from the Latino com-

Cyclone brothers in blood

Wrestling

By Maia Zewert Daily staff writer The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences will host its spring career fair from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Memorial Union.

This year, 105 companies have signed up to appear, including Dow AgroSciences LLC, Cargill, Inc., Pinnacle, Sygenta and more. Of these companies, 15 will be making their first appearance on campus.

“This will be our largest spring career fair yet,” said Mike Gaul, director of career services for the college.

The career fair will allow students to network with industry professionals as well as look for internships and interviews.

More than 1,200 interviews took place last semester after the fall career fair.

munity in Florida, Romney was able to swing past Gingrich and take a commanding double-digit lead in Florida and pull out a victory.

In his victory speech, Romney highlighted the need for party unity as election day gets closer and closer.

“A competitive campaign does not divide us, it prepares us,” Romney said in his victory speech.

Photo: Jordan Maurice/Iowa State Daily Andrew Sorenson, a redshirt senior, and his younger brother Aaron, a freshman, horse around before wrestling practice Tuesday. Andrew wrestles at 165 pounds and is ranked No. 4 in the nation. The brothers have never wrestled on the same team.

After watching his brother Andrew at a young age, Aaron Sorenson put on the wrestling shoes and singlet and followed him to the mat.

“I saw Andrew wrestling, so I just started wrestling,” Aaron said. “Obviously we’re brothers, so we’re going to fight, but instead of throwing punches we’re making takedowns and doing reversals.”

When Andrew’s first-grade teacher sent home a slip suggesting he take up wrestling due to his high energy displayed in class, his parents sent him off to his first meet in a T-shirt and shorts.

After winning the tournament, Andrew began what has become a long journey into the sport of wrestling.

A redshirt senior, this season will be Andrew’s last in the cardinal-and-gold singlet.

The Cyclones’ 165-pounder is ranked No. 4 in the nation, has collected 87 career victories

and is gunning to be an All-American and national champion this season.

When he Andrew does step off Sorenson the mat for the final time as a Cyclone though, the Sorenson family won’t say goodbye to ISU wrestling. Last Aaron Sorenson winter, before the start of his senior wrestling season, Aaron chose to once again follow in his brother’s footsteps.

“After I committed to Iowa State, I called my brother right away and I lied to him and said, ‘Hey, I’m going to UNI,’” Aaron said. “His first reaction was [that] he flipped on me.”

Andrew said he stayed away from his brother’s college decision, but said he knew Iowa

Exhibit shows off sculptures made of Legos

bring in big names from field

Artist creates Lego pieces Seminars

By Morgan.Fleener @iowastatedaily.com Lego building has become a standout childhood memory that can be forgotten as people get older.

However, on April 14 and 15, families, students and visitors of the Ames community will be brought together by professional Lego artist Sean Kenney.

Going through 250,000 to 400,000 Lego pieces each year, Kenney has been creating contemporary and personalized sculptures out of Lego bricks for more than 30 years.

Kenney will bring his talents to conduct Lego masterpieces and help install the exhibition of the 2012 Lego sculpture display at the Reiman Gardens.

Based from an institution in New York, Kenney looks forward to his visit to Iowa as he continues his lifetime dream of helping people work with Legos.

“One day I was sitting in my office in a cold-looking, quiet, boring, 40-story glass skyscraper on Park Avenue in New York, daydreaming about what beautiful architecture and bright Lego colors I would build with Lego bricks when I got home,” Kenney said. “It was about then that I realized that was exactly what I needed to do: Follow my dreams.

So I stood up, took off my tie and walked straight out, just like that, in the middle of the day. And I never looked back.”

Through Kenney’s work, students will engage learning in a creative and hands-on environment to help them interconnect pieces of a Lego kit and unique art creations. Maria

State was Aaron’s best option after he saw what ISU coach Kevin Jackson had done for him.

Now, Aaron is learning from both Jackson and his older brother in Ames.

“He’s constantly teaching me more,” Aaron said. “I don’t have his experience with all of this and I’m just glad I actually have someone that close to me that I can always rely on to teach me more.”

Jackson said when he sees the Sorensons, he sees the love they have for one another and said Andrew pushes Aaron to reach his potential.

“Andrew is a tough big brother, he gets on him and he gets after him,” Jackson said. “He tells him if he thinks he’s not doing the right things, and that’s on and off the mat.”

For Andrew, having his younger brother on the team has been special. Both brothers said they enjoy hanging out on weekends and spending time together both on and off the mat.

“We’ve never been on the same team in anything because we were always four years apart,” Andrew said. “It’s been pretty special that he’s gotten to be here. It’s just nice having my brother there.”

Aaron agreed with his brother’s sentiment.

“We’re closer than ever,” Aaron said. “We’re better than best friends.”

Aaron redshirted this season, but he hopes to compete for a spot in the lineup next season.

When he does get on the mat, he’ll be following one of the team’s main focal points of recent years.

“It’s something to follow, but it makes it

tougher on the next one,” said Brad Sorenson, father of Aaron and Andrew. “Everyone expects that next one to be as good or better than your brother.”

The Cyclones have another set of brothers on the team in Trent and Tanner Weatherman, and next season, Gabe Moreno will join his brother Michael, who is the starting 157-pounder this season. Jackson, who also wrestled with his brother, said he hopes Aaron tries to be his own person.

“I think what [Aaron] can do is live and learn

Witte, communications and graphic design specialist at Reiman Gardens, believes Kenney’s constructive way to teach students with Lego bricks will offer new ideas and outlooks to families, students and staff during his visit.

“Each display at the show will teach people how we are interconnected and how they can learn from the simple childhood toy,” Witte said.

Kenney feels blessed that he is fortunate enough to be creating work he believes has impacted thousands in a positive way.

“Traditional sculptures in clay, bronze, and stone are very serious looking, but a sculpture made with Lego bricks is fun, bright and something everyone can relate to,” Kenney said. “When you look at a Lego sculpture, you understand how it was put together and maybe can imagine doing it yourself.”

Witte feels there will be a great turnout in regards to attendance for the show. “[Reiman Gardens has] had a ton of feedback via email, social media and in person about how excited they are to attend the show,” Witte said.

Students can access progress reports on the sculptures by visiting the Reiman Gardens Facebook page to view sneak previews and updates on the upcoming display.

“When we come back in August, we will be a united party with a winning ticket.”

Romney also used his speech to hit the president on economic issues.

“Leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses,” Romney said. “Well, Mr. President, you were elected to lead, you chose to follow and now it’s time to get out of the way.”

Gingrich, despite his loss to Romney, has vowed to take his campaign all the way to the convention. This puts the Republican Party in a predicament because having a split party going into the national convention — especially as the challenging party — has historically had a hard time unifying its base, which makes it all the more difficult to defeat an incumbent president.

The campaigns of the remaining four candidates will now move to Nevada for the state’s caucus Saturday, followed by Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado next Wednesday. Romney has taken the lead with 66 pledged delegates as opposed to 25 for Gingrich, 10 for Paul and eight for Santorum; 1,144 delegates are needed to secure the Republican nomination at the party convention in Tampa, Fla., in August.

ministrator of BCBLab, said that BCBLab was established in 2006 by students to help life science researchers on campus with their computational needs. The professors receive volunteer help from students in BCBLab. “Most importantly, students learn something new,” Surana said.

“BCB is a wide field. ... It helps the professors and the students learn something new. It’s a win-win situation.”

The other aspect of BCBLab is educational. This semester, the group is holding a 12-week seminar series with four external speakers invited by BCBLab. Trish Stauble, coordinator of the BCB program, said that one of the speakers, Pierre Baldi, an author of several books in bioinformatics, does not like to say no to students who graciously invite him.

“We’re so glad the students were able to get Dr. Baldi’s participation in this seminar series,” Stauble said. “His April 16 seminar

from his brother’s history and experiences and then hopefully challenge himself from there,” Jackson said. “I hope he is not thinking about living up to what his brother has done and we hope he is thinking about outperforming his brother.”

Aaron has followed Andrew to the mat, the state tournament and finally to Iowa State, but hopes he can be known as more than just the younger sibling.

“Instead of being Andrew’s little brother,” Aaron said, “I want to be Aaron Sorenson.”

will be quite a capstone event to the seminar series.”

Reinhard Laubenbacher’s seminar start at 5:15 p.m. Wednesday in room 1414 of the Molecular Biology building. Laubenbacher

is a professor of mathematics at Virginia Tech and director of Education and Outreach at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute.

He will present on cancer systems biology.

Both an overview and followup seminar opportunity will take place for each invited speaker in this seminar series. The follow-up discussion for the Computational Biomodeling and System Biology area will be led by Ali Berens, BCB student in Amy Toth’s lab, at 5 p.m. next Tuesday in room 1102 of the Molecular Biology building.

The overview will introduce the field to a wider university community. The follow-up seminar will include reviewing speakers’ papers to increase understanding of the seminar’s bioinformatics area.

The seminar will be free and open to everyone. People from outside of this discipline are also welcome to attend the seminar series and learn what BCB is about. According to Dorman and Stauble, both faculty and students in the BCB program and anybody who is involved in biological research will be interested in the series of seminars.

Stereotypes

Fixing things that are wrong requires action Like many social conservatives, Rick Santorum is frustrated with indoctrination of college students by their leftist college professors. But how indoctrinated with leftist ideology do you feel? How much pressure do you experience from your professors to adopt and act on their liberal political ideas?

Speaking to a church crowd a week ago, Santorum said, according to CBS, “that ‘the left’ uses universities to indoctrinate young people for the purpose of ‘holding and maintaining power.’” He objected to prohibitions on teaching Judeo-Christian values in public universities, which are also apparently responsible for the defection of 62 percent of all faith-holding students who enter college.

There is no vast left-wing conspiracy that controls universities whose mission is to deceive young people into voting for Democrats. Court rulings that keep public schools from funding religious teaching have been part of American legal precedent for decades. Young people leaving their churches of course is not due to the fact that so many Christians, as Ghandi said it, are so unlike Christ.

Santorum’s frustration is most likely directed at liberal indoctrination, rather than indoctrination itself.

In painting a dichotomy between left and right, Santorum shows disagreement merely with the principles being indoctrinated, not indoctrination itself. He said, “We’ve lost our higher education,” as if it should be the province of conservatives.

Supporting one political party or -ism is not universities’ goal. The purpose of higher, liberal education is training students in critical thinking so they can go out into the world and constructively critique it. By way of our critical approach, we will develop real solutions to our problems.

That means that sometimes we have to question our basic assumptions about how the world works.

Higher education is about thinking outside the box, an activity that does in fact have value: Without doubting the evidence for Ptolemy’s theory that the earth is the center of the universe, Copernicus would not have investigated the issue or discovered that ours is a heliocentric solar system.

Higher education is about motivating people to make a difference in the world — to change it for the better.

Santorum, however, in urging members of his audience to stop donating money to universities, demonstrates a lack of understanding that changing what is wrong — including what is wrong with higher education — takes participation. Abandonment and desertion will not fix the problem.

He and other social conservatives ought to listen to the father of modern conservatism, Edmund Burke: “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

The lost art of manliness

Z

ealous proponents of political correctness and the man-hating variety of femi-Nazis get all hot and bothered when the subject of manliness comes up. Manliness carries with it a set of stereotypes, many of which change actual manliness into its unsavory and repugnant cousin, male chauvinism, which justifiably attracts the ire of those sensitive to such things.

Most things in life are misunderstood these days it seems and manliness is no different.

Manliness now appears to be thought of as some sort of sexism, an outmoded way of male behavior or a belief system or is otherwise shrouded in other stereotypes. The mention of a man who is “manly” is often done in ridicule and tends to generate mental images of a muscle-bound, football-watching, beer-drinking, Marlboro-smoking, Playboyreading, gear head who drives a big truck.

None of these things is manly.

One can certainly be manly and enjoy sports or working on cars; however, these things don’t define manliness. Ironically, men seem to misunderstand manliness as much as women, and I think many men have forgotten what being a man is all about. There are certainly pressures for men to not be men.

I wouldn’t go so far as saying it’s a conspiracy, or even that it’s done on purpose, but there are ele-

By Barry.Snell @iowastatedaily.com ments of society that confuse and muddle the waters of manliness.

For example, most sitcoms feature female main characters that are beautiful and intelligent, and the male characters are slovenly, daft and often overweight, reducing a man to an object good only for moving heavy stuff.

The wife on one such show revealed it nicely when she said, “Your grandfather fought in World War II, your father fought in Vietnam, but you play video games and use a pomegranate body wash.”

So what is manliness?

When asked that question, most people struggle and eventually bring up chivalry. Chivalry is definitely part of a good answer, though I suspect most don’t know why. The chivalric code of the knights of old embodied many of the qualities of manliness. It stood for courage, a sense of justice, honor, integrity and courtesy. These things are most definitely manly.

It’s hard to be courageous.

Courage implies the possibility of failure or rejection, which are the greatest fears of a man. Doing the right thing, to be just, when all

others around you are doing something else, is one of the toughest tests in life for a man. But it’s during those times that the world needs a man the most.

The focus on courtesy in chivalry is where the tradition of opening doors for women and allowing them to pass ahead of men comes from. While only a very small part of chivalry, a quick browse through the Daily’s “Just Sayin’s” in any given semester will reveal to you dozens of girls who really appreciate when a man holds a door for them.

If women love a man who holds the door for them, just imagine what would happen if more men lived the other characteristics of chivalry.

Discipline, dedication and perseverance; the knowledge and skills to do things for oneself and the enterprising alacrity to do things for others. These are also parts of manliness.

A man must be true to his word. When he says he’s going to do something, he must have the discipline and integrity to make good on it. A man should always tell the truth. This includes being true to oneself too, as honesty means revealing one’s genuine character in the public sphere.

There’s courage again; it takes a lot of it to be honest sometimes.

Men need to know things, for there is nothing more shameful than an ignorant man. A man needs to know his history so he

can protect his future. He needs to know how to talk to people and he needs to know how to listen to them too. Being able to work with other people and identify common issues to work toward common solutions is the essence of politics, and genuine politics is the epitome of manliness.

Love. Love is perhaps the most manly thing of all. Love of one’s family, one’s country and for one’s fellow man. It doesn’t get any more manly than a man taking care of his wife and kids.

That doesn’t necessarily mean financially either. A man knows that women are his equals and he’ll do anything to ensure their equality. Feminism therefore — though not the emasculating, man-hating variety — is manly too.

But manliness isn’t a gender thing at all; being a man isn’t about not being a woman.

Manliness is about not being an immature boy and doing the things that immature boys aren’t man enough to do.

A man must decide what kind of man he wants to be. Once he figures that out, then he must be that man and not be afraid to be, no matter what the politically correct say.

Live a life of virtue, men.

Character counts.

Agriculture

New technology breeds new concerns Viptera has potential for revolution on global scale

A

merican farmers throughout the nation are weeks away from a potentially critical situation. The agricultural engineering company Syngenta recently released a ground-shaking new seed corn trait, Viptera. Encompassing many of the best genetics available to take the form of a super-hybrid, the Viptera (3111) trait has the potential to revolutionize agriculture on a global spectrum, capable of saving millions of lives through increased yields. However, because it is a genetically modified organism, there are many negative connotations associated with it, which has led to it being barred in China and causing turmoil in the American agricultural community.

New technology breeds new concerns. A GMO is any organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering to better the plant in some facet, whether by increasing yields, providing more drought resistance or giving protection from insects.

There has been much speculation about the long-term safety of GMOs, and their potential threat to the environment.

When a newly developed trait is released by an agri-engineering company, it must pass a rigorous set of tests administered by the importing country to ensure its safety. Before the trait even makes its way to foreign shores, it must adhere to thorough testing from not only the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but also the Environmental Protection Agency and Federal Drug Administration. It is estimated that somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of all American crops are GMO hybrids.

Viptera is engineered to protect itself from attacks of various insects and worms. Just as many tropical frogs protect themselves by poisoning their predators attempting to eat them, if any malicious predator attempts to have its way with the plant, it will take one bite, whether from the roots, leaves or silks, and die almost instantly. To a farmer, spraying insecticides is a necessary part of growing a crop; without protection, the entire crop is in serious jeopardy. Viptera can eliminate the threat of

By Scott.Watson @iowastatedaily.com insect infestation altogether, thus eliminating the need for potentially hazardous chemicals. However, not everyone is on board.

In the spring of 2011, Viptera proudly brandished a stamp of deregulation by the American government, allowing it to be commercially sold, produced and exported to all major importing companies who also approved the trait, such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan and most countries of the European Union. The crops were planted and the growing season came and went and farmers were seeing higher yields with their Viptera corn than ever before.

However, come August, China placed a massive order for imported American corn, earning a “major importer” status, allowing it to conduct its own tests on the corn it imports.

China has not yet approved the Viptera trait, so any corn exported to China cannot contain the Viptera trait, even in trace amounts. This is a serious problem for American farmers and grain merchandisers alike. It has caused a split between many of the major grain exporters.

Grain merchandisers are left with a serious dilemma — whether to accept all corn, “contaminated” or not, and hope for the best and risk losing a huge account in China, or temporarily not accepting Viptera. Bunge is one of those grain merchandising companies who have barred Viptera corn. As any company,

Bunge is in business to make money and look after its investors. When China announced it wouldn’t accept corn contaminated with Viptera, Bunge, Consolidated Grain and Barge (CGB) and other companies responded with similar objections.

Though China declared American companies would have the final decision on Viptera by the end of March, many farmers have contracts to be delivered for a time before then, leaving farmers scratching their heads, asking, “Now what?”

Syngenta (owner of Agrisure), announced to farmers that if they are having problems finding a place for their grain, Syngenta will help them find a buyer.

Many farmers in the Midwest have found serenity in hauling to ethanol plants who indiscriminately accept all corns. Still, many are not as fortunate and are forced to wait and see if they have to haul their corn across the state for acceptance or if they can deliver their corn on time and for the price it deserves.

Experts suggest China will probably accept the trait, as the American government and others couldn’t find a problem with it. But the what-if question still lingers for those with their necks on the chopping block. The farmers of America will continue to wait with bated breaths for their champion new hybrid to receive Chinese approval.

Title IX legislation leads to reverse discrimination

T

his has been an amazing year for Cyclone sports.

Who can forget our football team’s great overtime victory of the Hawkeyes early in the season? Then there was the great upset of No. 2 Oklahoma State. Recently, our men’s basketball team upset No. 5 Kansas, as well as scoring a last-second buzzer-beater by Scott Christopherson versus, once again, Oklahoma State.

Iowa State has already clinched the Cy-Hawk series, currently leading 15-6 with the main wins in football and men’s and women’s basketball. But despite all this success, why is all of our focus on the main sports? What are Iowa State’s most successful sports programs?

In Iowa State’s history, the Cyclones have won 13 national championships. How many students here even know that? Wrestling has won eight, men’s gymnastics has won three, and men’s track and field has won two. How about conference championships? Since 1964, when the Big Eight Conference was legally changed to that name, Iowa State has won 77 conference championships (78 if you count the football team winning the Big 12 North in 2004).

Only seven of them come from one of the “main sports” here.

Sports such as men’s gymnastics, baseball and swimming have been responsible for 16 championships, but they no longer exist. Most of the others come from our two most dominant sports, wrestling and track and field.

By far Iowa State’s most successful sport is wrestling. Even though the Cyclones have not won a national

By Ian.Nichols @iowastatedaily.com championship since 1987, they are consistently a contender. Wrestling has placed second 17 times, including a stretch under my grandfather, Harold Nichols, from 1962-1983, when they never finished lower than fourth. This is a sports dynasty that Cyclones can be proud of. This great tradition almost ceased to exist when Title IX was passed in 1972.

Title IX simply states, “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educated program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance ... ,” under United States Code Section 20. Essentially, this piece of legislation prevents discrimination based on sex. During that time, civil rights and sex discrimination were big issues in universities.

Most people associate Title IX with athletics as the main point as it states that men and women should be treated equally when it comes to athletics. It states that athletic participation should be proportional to the student enrollment. I understand where they were originally coming from and there is nothing wrong with women playing sports. It is great seeing the success and attendance of women’s athletics, especially here at Iowa State with our basketball team.

The problem here, though, is with reverse discrimination. In order to be fair, basically the same number of players from each sex need to play.

So sports such as basketball, soccer, track and gymnastics are fine because each sex can play them. Then you have the problem with football.

Football is a male sport only. So in order to make it fair for the females, we either need to make a football team with the same number of females or cut smaller men’s sports programs.

Most colleges, including Iowa State, chose to do such. Wrestling was the first and largest victim to this rule at the beginning. In all, 121 schools have cut their wrestling programs, and despite all of the tradition and success of Iowa State’s wrestling program, that number was almost 122. Swimming, golf, tennis, soccer, track and many other smaller men’s sports have been cut. There are many talented athletes that play sports like soccer and baseball, but because of Title IX they don’t have the opportunity here to play at the collegiate level.

This is discrimination against male athletes. We get all worked up when just a few people get offended on some issue and have to discriminate against the majority just to please the minority. Now, I’m not attacking women’s rights. What I am saying is that if you want to be treated equally, then be treated equally.

You don’t need special exceptions, because then you aren’t equal.

Obama administration no better than Bush’s in civil liberties

W

hen it comes to national security issues and the way in which the president conducts issues of civil liberties, is the Obama administration any better than the Bush administration? We all know about the various ways in which the Bush administration signed into law certain provisions that are scathingly unconstitutional: extraordinary rendition, warrant-less wiretaps, secret surveillance, suspending habeas corpus — the list goes on and on.

But certainly the Obama administration can’t be worse, right? Candidate Barack Obama told the American people that his administration would end the controversial search and seizure aspects of the Patriot Act, that he would restore habeas corpus and that Guantanamo Bay would be closed. He even signed an executive order on the second day of his presidency ordering that “Gitmo” be closed. He was off to a great start.

As time has passed, however, it is clear that the Obama administration is merely a continuation and worsening of the Bush administration when it comes to civil liberties and the security state. Not only has Guantanamo Bay not been closed down, but there are at least 170 men still imprisoned there — 89 of whom have been cleared for release and 46 whom the Justice Department has admitted they lack evidence to convict.

Obama signed a four year extension of the Patriot Act in May of last year, which means four more years of seizure of records without consent or knowledge, secret surveillance without warrants and other dubious acts. Wiretaps are at an all-time high, with a 34 percent jump in 2010 compared to 2009.

In July 2010, a special report by the Washington Post titled “Top Secret America” revealed that the security state in America is only growing. The Post reported that each and every day, the National Security Agency intercepts and stores more than 1.7 billion emails, telephone calls and other types of communication. Thousands of new local government organizations that are supposed to be counter-terrorism units in nature help with this onslaught of violations of privacy.

By Jacob.Witte @iowastatedaily.com Whistle-blowers, who publicize their knowledge of abuses of power or illegal activities, are no longer protected as well as they used to be. The Obama administration has prosecuted five whistle-blowers with the Espionage Act, more than all other administrations in history.

In one such case, the federal judge actually chastised the Department of Justice lawyers for pursuing the issue, and the whistle-blower pled to a misdemeanor and walked.

The most recent assault on our civil liberties

by President Obama and Congress, and by far the most dangerous, is the National Defense Appropriations Act of 2012. The NDAA is usually signed every year because it allocates funding for the Department of Defense.

However, the writers of the 2012 version slipped in a clause that allows for the indefinite detention of any person “who was part of or substantially supported al-Qaida, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners,” and anyone who commits a “belligerent act” against the U.S. or its allies. The clause states that the person can be held “without trial, until the end of the hostilities.”

End of hostilities? This war was not even declared officially by Congress (no war has been since World War II). “Terror” has no nationality; has no personification. This war has, by order of the president, been waged in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen and Pakistan. Terrorism can never be fully uprooted or destroyed; this war will never end, giving all future presidents the ability to detain indefinitely anyone they can apply the vague qualifications of “enemy combatant” to.

Why is this even necessary? The war on terror is more than a decade old already, and we have managed to survive as a country without

Career Fair is coming!

PADHOLDER SPECIAL January 30th until February 11th

this particular stipulation; do we really need this now?

And in perhaps the strangest part of the NDAA saga, the FBI, the CIA, the director of national intelligence, the Pentagon and even Attorney General Eric Holder do not support this part of NDAA. Robert Mueller, the director of the FBI, claimed that the bill would actually impede the FBI’s ability to investigate terrorism because it would be more difficult to win cooperation from suspects held by the military.

The NDAA is one of the most egregious assaults on civil liberties this country has ever seen. And it was signed into law by a president who, as a candidate, called to end the civil lib-

erty violations of the previous administration.

It is a stark and scary reminder that the security state in this country is ever-looming.

We are fighting an enemy who we were told a decade ago wanted to erode our freedoms and take away our liberties. After a decade of the Patriot Act, of suspension of habeas corpus and now the NDAA, maybe we should become aware that it has been Congress and the president who are taking away our rights, not al-Qaida or the Taliban.

Football:

Sturdy hired as receivers coach

By Jake Calhoun Daily staff writer Former Washington State offensive coordinator Todd Sturdy has been named the wide receivers coach of the ISU football team, the school announced Tuesday.

Sturdy was the architect of a passing offense that ranked No. 9 nationally among FBS schools in 2011 at Washington State.

“It is a real coup for us to get a coach from Tipton, Iowa, who has been an offensive coordinator, a play-caller, and proven himself as a West Coast recruiter,” said ISU coach Paul Rhoads in a news release.

“Todd Sturdy brings all of that to Iowa State as a coach with a stellar reputation based on all that he has accomplished.

He has been a Pac-12 offensive coordinator for four years, a head coach for 12 years and a football coach for 22 years with success at each stop. That says it all.”

Sturdy spent 12 seasons as the coach at St. Ambrose, where he accumulated an overall record of 85-40. From there, he served as the offensive coordinator at Eastern Washington in 2007 and moved on to that position at Washington State in 2008.

“I was attracted to this job

by Paul Rhoads, specifically what he has done with this program and the direction it is heading under his leadership,” Sturdy said. “Coaching in the Big 12 Conference, a premier league, also is a plus. Finally, it is great to get back to Iowa, which is still home to a lot of our family.”

The Houston native tied her career-high in the all-around, scoring 39.250 in her efforts to help Iowa State win its first meet of the year and clinch the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series.

Browning won three events, including the all-around, bars and floor, Friday when Iowa State (1-2, 0-1 Big 12) defeated No. 23 Iowa (2-4-1, 1-0-1 Big Ten). She scored a career-high on bars with the performance earning her a 9.875 average from the two judges.

With this award, her seventh all time, she has tied former ISU All-American Janet Anson for most in school history.

Cyclones bounce back from 14-point deficit

final Kansas State

70

By Jeremiah.Davis @iowastatedaily.com

Iowa State

72

Royce White warned against it Monday in a news conference.

Letting Kansas State come into Hilton Coliseum White and “out-tough you,” as he put it, would only end in defeat. For 30 minutes of basketball, it looked like the Wildcats (15-6, 4-5 Big 12) had done just that.

But the ISU men’s basketball team rose to the occasion when it needed to, coming back from down 14 with 14:27 left and pulling out the 72-70 win on a game-winner from White with 1.8 seconds left.

As he got the ball, White was hoping for anything but a trip to the line.

“I was praying they didn’t foul me,” White said. “I’m telling you, I was praying. Coach [Fred Hoiberg] told me, ‘If they foul you, go knock them down.’”

White led the Cyclones (16-6, 6-3) with 22 points and eight rebounds, but no points were bigger than the two in the final seconds.

The sophomore was the catalyst for Iowa State throughout the game and his three dunks reawakened the Hilton crowd when Kansas State had all but put it to bed.

“He’s awesome. I root for that kid every day,” said KSU coach Frank

I think it speaks volumes to the fact that we kind of got punched in the mouth first. ... You’ve got to be mentally tough to win a game against a team like that that plays so tough.”

Royce White Martin. “Obviously, he’s doing an unbelievable job leading this team and he’s a nightmare of a matchup.”

A 19-7 run from the 14:27 mark to the 7:55 mark got the Cyclones back in a game that, early in the second half, looked like it was headed toward another Wildcat road win.

Guard Chris Allen scored seven of his 15 points during the run that brought the game’s deficit back to two points.

That, coupled with Iowa State outrebounding Kansas State 18-13 in the second half, erased bad body language and frustration on the bench.

Martin heaped high praise upon the Cyclones, using one word to describe what led to the 14-point comeback.

Allen’s 12 second-half points provide spark in ISU victory

By Dan.Tracy @iowastatedaily.com Picking up his third personal foul with two and a half minutes left in the first half, Chris Allen’s chances at helping his team come back from a seven-point deficit seemed grim.

But ISU coach Fred Hoiberg Allen stuck with Allen in the secondhalf starting lineup and the senior guard delivered, scoring 12 points and pulling down five boards. This set the stage for Royce White’s game-winning jump shot in the final seconds of Iowa State’s 7270 win against Kansas State on Tuesday night.

Hoiberg “He’s a fifth-year senior and a good player — that’s what they do,” said Kansas State coach Frank Martin of Allen.

“They don’t fold their bags and go home. They come out and make the plays when they are supposed to make the plays.”

Aside from pouring in 14 points in a 24-point rout of Texas Tech, Allen had scored only 11 points in his last four games.

second half and was just really aggressive,” Hoiberg said. “He got in there and made some pretty good layups. He played probably his best game since Texas Tech.”

The 6-foot-3-inch guard calmly hit two free throws after being fouled by KSU guard Angel Rodriguez.

Thirty-seven seconds later, Allen caught a pass from ISU guard Scott Christopherson on the right wing and buried a 3 to cut what was at one point a 14-point second-half deficit down to two.

“I was just trying to stay active. I knew that if I just stayed active and stayed moving, then eventually I was going to get a good shot and knock it down,” Allen said.

Women’s basketball

Cowgirl trio could pose threat to Cyclones

By Cory.Weaver @iowastatedaily.com The ISU women’s basketball team suffered its third close loss of the season Sunday to Texas A&M, and a triple threat of Oklahoma State players pose another obstacle for the Cyclones (118, 2-6 Big 12) when they come to Ames on Wednesday.

“I think our guards are really going to have to step in and play one of their best defensive games again like they have in the past,” said forward Hallie Christofferson.

“I think that instead of keying in on just one individual, we’re going to have do [that to] all of them so they don’t each have a big game.”

Freshman Liz Donohoe, sophomore Tiffany Bias and junior Toni Young all come into the game averaging double figures in points for the Cowgirls (12-5, 4-4).

In addition to paying attention to the Cowgirls from the field, the Cyclones also will have to keep one of the Big 12’s best free-throw shooting teams (74.8 percent) and Christofferson said

it comes down to effort.

“I think we’re going to have to do the extra work beforehand so we don’t put them in a situation that we foul and make them get to the free-throw line,” Christofferson said.

In its road loss to Texas A&M on Sunday, the Cyclones turned the ball over 18 times to the Aggies’ 10.

Turnovers have been a difference maker in just about every game this season and will continue to play a role Wednesday as the Cowgirls have Iowa State beat by 50 in the category.

“Just taking care of the ball,” said Anna Prins on fixing the problem. “I think it’s an important aspect of the game [and] not letting our turnovers turn into points for them.”

Even though it surmounted to another loss, Christofferson said the Cyclones took some positives out of the game and that effort just needs to carry over to help get a win.

“Play hard just like we did at A&M, and if you play hard, there’s always a chance

to win,” Christofferson said.

“That’s going to be very beneficial because we know we can, so that’s what we have to do.”

In addition to that momentum, the game will be the first home game for the Cyclones in more than a week, and Prins said the familiar venue will help reduce stress and increase focus.

On a side note, tragedy struck the Oklahoma State and Big 12 community when OSU coach Kurt Budke and assistant coach Miranda Serna were killed in a place crash while recruiting.

Oklahoma State has said they just wants to play basketball, but the ISU coaching staff will wear the “4” pins like they have all season.

Wrestling

Gibson climbs rankings, Simonson done for good Voelker hopes to rebound after debut loss

By Jake.Calhoun @iowastatedaily.com Last season, Matt Gibson and Kyle Simonson battled neck and neck for the starting spot at heavyweight on the ISU wrestling team.

A year later, Gibson had ascended the national rankings Gibson while Simonson had seen his last season of eligibility absent of competition due to injury.

Simonson’s absence as a main training partner had both its positives and negatives for Gibson, who is now ranked 12th in the nation at heavyweight.

Simonson “It was easier to focus on competing,” Gibson said. “But at the same time, I was way less confident in my abilities because I didn’t have that consistent competition to work harder than somebody else.”

Since his third-place finish at the Midlands Championships in late December, Gibson has gone 4-2 while outscoring his opponents 43-21.

Gibson also has notched a major decision in three of his last four matches, falling two points shy of a technical fall in his most recent match — a 15-2 major decision against Cornell’s Maciej Jochym.

“I like where Matt Gibson’s head is at,” said ISU coach Kevin Jackson. “Matt Gibson is performing at a very high level, he’s challenging himself every single match and he’s giving himself a chance to not only win but dominate.”

Gibson attributed his recent success to an adjusted mindset.

“When [Jackson] tells you to control the things that you can control, you don’t really take it to heart sometimes,” Gibson said. “You’ll hear

it, but you won’t take it to heart.

“I realized this season that there are a lot of things that I can’t control on the mat, but I have to control how I feel or how I’m going to wrestle.

Even if I’m not 100 percent, I can still control how hard I’m going to work. Realizing that and seeing my teammates have success also have been a big help.”

Simonson, however, entered this season with little optimism of his chances of competing.

“I hurt my knee at NCAA’s last year and was pretty much told that it would take 12 to 18 months [to recover],” Simonson said Sunday. “I still haven’t completely been released from the doctor yet.”

On Monday, Jackson confirmed Simonson’s career is likely finished.

“We didn’t want to see Kyle go out like he’s going out, but obviously he’s a kid of character that will be in veterinary school next year,” Jackson said. “So his future is very bright and he knows that.”

Simonson is ineligible for a medical redshirt because his injuries do not have at least two years of documentation that would have been submitted for NCAA review.

For Gibson, though, his contention for the national title and All-American status is still very realistic for him.

“I definitely know I have the potential, I know I’m in the top eight in the country,” Gibson said. “I just have to keep working hard and practice every day and keep the mindset that I have.”

five minutes of the game, finishing the half 4-of-6 from the field in the second stanza.

“He came out in the second half and didn’t miss a shot,” Martin said. “He shoots a 3.

Maybe he misses. But he wasn’t going to miss.

I knew it was going in.”

Hoiberg and Allen had a long talk earlier in the week and he responded with a solid two days of practice and what the coach called a “big-time” game.

“As I was walking to the bench, all the coaches were kind of saying the same thing, ‘Chris, keep your head in it,’” Allen said. “When I was on the bench, in certain situations I was looking at where I could see myself in the game and doing stuff, so I kept my head in it and I wasn’t wandering off.

“I just tried to stay in it as much as possible and when my chance came to get back in and do something, I stepped up.”

Iowa State’s two-point win against Mississippi Valley State in the nonconference finale was again mentioned Tuesday night as the turning point for this ISU squad.

Allen recognized the growth of the team since that game as it is now halfway through its 18-game conference slate.

“A while ago, we probably would have gotten beat by 30 tonight how we [were] playing back then and how our confidence was,” Allen

“Maturity,” Martin said.

“They’ve got guys who’ve been around. They’ve got guys that understand. They don’t panic, they keep playing, they make the right plays. They’re a fun team to watch.”

In the early stages of the season, Hoiberg spoke at length about his team coming to the huddle during times of adversity with their heads down and without a player stepping up to get his team back in the game.

On Tuesday night, the coach saw his team pick itself back up and win a game that is a potential resume-builder for the NCAA tournament.

“The last couple games I have [seen the team mature],” Hoiberg said. “Our poise down the stretch has been very good.

They’re growing, they’re coming together. You can see it when they’re on the floor in crunch time, you make the plays we made, you can tell the trust is there.”

said.

“But now everyone is on the same page. I feel like everybody is trusting in each other and trusting in what coach is telling us. It’s coming along, it’s coming together.”

Trevor Voelker’s varsity debut was certainly a match to forget.

The redshirt freshman slipped into a 16-3 hole in the second period before eventually getting pinned by Cornell’s Voelker Cam Simaz, the top-ranked wrestler at 197 pounds, on Sunday.

“He didn’t react to some of the positions that we made him aware of,” Jackson said. “Losing in the fashion that he lost, I’m sure he didn’t visualize that.”

Voelker, a three-time Iowa state placewinner for Dallas Center-Grimes, was given the nod to start at 197 pounds after Cole Shafer sustained a concussion in his match at Oklahoma State on Jan. 22.

On top of facing the top-ranked wrestler in the nation in his debut, Voelker said he was sick the week leading up to it.

“It was pretty nerve-racking,” Voelker said. “I was pretty worked up before the match. Nerves and the combination of being sick all week kind of hindered my ability to go out there and compete to the best of my ability.

“But overall, it wasn’t my best showing at all.”

If Voelker gets the starting nod on Friday against Northern Iowa, his opponent, unranked Taylor Kettman, should provide a lot less stress coming into the match.

“He was just looking for someone who could go out there and scrap for seven minutes and I’m hoping to be that guy,” Voelker said. “I want to be that guy that can step up in the lineup and I told [Jackson] that I was going to be that guy.”

Along with the maturation of the team, the win may have shown the Cyclones how tough they are.

White said it before the game and he said it after: Beating Kansas State would — and did — come down to toughness.

“I think it speaks volumes

• Back • Neck • Headaches • Extremities • Acupuncture

to the fact that we kind of got punched in the mouth first,” White said. “And we’re able to come back and win a fight.

You’ve got to be mentally tough to win a game against a team like that that plays so tough.

“It speaks to the maturity and where we’ve come.”

Madonna wants to outdo past shows Rumors swirl that pop idol will have guest on stage

By Laura Bucklin Daily staff writer America’s “Material Girl,” Madonna, will be taking the stage this Sunday to entertain millions of viewers during the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show.

In the past, there have been a lot of complaints about certain Super Bowl halftime acts.

One that sticks out in several students’ minds is the performance by the Black Eyed Peas last year.

“I thought last year’s [show] was horrible,” said Alexis Jackson, freshman in psychology, “Fergie just sounded awful.”

On the other hand, there are many that have left an impression.

“I really enjoyed the Rolling Stones, because they’re a lot better than anyone else they usually have,” said Ann Goodyear, junior in electrical engineering.

Some of the higher ranked halftime shows have been put on by legends such as Michael Jackson, Prince and U2, so Madonna might just be able to pull it off.

There have also been rumors about other musicians joining Madonna during her performance.

LMFAO, Nikki Minaj, M.I.A., Foo Fighters and others have all been discussed, but Madonna has yet to reveal with whom she’s collaborating with.

“I’d like to see someone like Lil’ Wayne or something,” Jackson said. “That would be cool.”

According to MTV.com, when asked about the potential rumored performers, Madonna said, “I am not saying ‘Yes,’ and I am not saying ‘No.’ Pom-poms. That’s all I can tell you.”

No one is quite sure what to take from that “clue,” but the singer was a cheerleader back in high school.

The stage must be set up in seven minutes and taken down in eight minutes, with a 12-minute performance in between.

Madonna told ABC News sources, “That’s the challenge. How do you do that? I actually wanted to have 100 drummers come from the ceiling.”

It’s going to take a lot to create a show that will be remembered for years. Memorable shows, like Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake’s, provided a shocking moment that many will never forget.

“I want to say that Janet Jackson halftime show was the best,” laughed Andrew Thiel, freshman in chemistry.

Party space

Dorm rooms provide place to watch Super Bowl

By Laura Bucklin Daily staff writer Despite the size of a dorm, it can be a great place to celebrate America’s great tradition, the Super Bowl.

Eaton Hall’s president, Nate Davis, is planning on celebrating the Super Bowl with his entire dorm.

“We are actually going to have it at State Gym in the

pool,” said Nate Davis, sophomore in food science and industry global resources.

“We’re just going to get a big group of people together.”

Other dorms also will be celebrating together.

“I’m pretty sure we’re having a building-wide party in Willow on the main floor. I’m assuming there will be food, drinks, pizza and all kinds of stuff,” said Alexis Jackson,

freshman in psychology.

FOOD Finger food is the best choice for Super Bowl parties.

There are several things students can make in their dorm room without using an oven or stove, such as queso and chips, puppy chow, fruit and veggies and finger sandwiches.

DECORATIONS If you have guests who will be cheering for other teams, make an imaginary line using masking tape that they can’t cross.

Decorate the different sides to accommodate each team playing the game.

It is also fun to invest in some foam bricks that people can throw at the TV when they’re mad. It’s a safe and great way to relieve your anger with the refs.

THE GAME If your TV is tiny, guests will not be happy. They have to be able to see all of the players and the awesome commercials. If needed, consider renting an Infocus machine, which will project the TV image on to a white wall.

FUN Football bingo, face painting and pinatas can be some entertaining things to do during your party. Another way to

get guests riled up is have them pay a dollar to guess who will win. Whoever was right gets their name put in a drawing for the money.

Commercials

Companies build anticipation with ‘epic’ advertisements

By Lindsay Schwarck Daily staff writer Super Bowl excitement builds as coaches, athletes and celebrities announce their picks for the game.

Television chefs create crowd-pleasing recipes for game day. Households across the country anticipate epic advertisements from the nation’s top companies.

History The first Super Bowl aired on Jan. 15, 1967, with an estimated 24.4 million viewers. Even then, advertisers knew the impact of commercial spots for the event and paid NBC $1,250 per second of air time, or nearly $37,500 for a 30-second spot, according www.ehow.com.

As audiences grew, advertisers stepped up their own games by incorporating celebrities and humor into ad campaigns.

One of the first famous commercials featured Joe Namath, New York Jets quarterback, for Noxema. Other celebrity appearances have included “Mean Joe” Green for Coca Cola, Betty White for Snickers and Larry Bird for McDonald’s.

During the 1993 Bowl game, Michael Jordan’s commercial with Marvin the Martian and Bugs Bunny actually sparked the idea for the hit animated movie, “Space Jam.”

“1984”

Current advertising

Perhaps the most legendary Super Bowl commercial of all time is Apple’s “1984.” The masterpiece featured athlete Anya Major running from police officers, as depicted from George Orwell’s novel. Donning a brass hammer and sprinting toward the image of a Big Brother figure, Major launched the hammer at the screen as the Big Brother announced, “We shall prevail!”

Audience members were shocked as the screen was destroyed. The closing line read, “On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984.’”

The one-minute advertising spot is considered by advertisers to be one of the most successful campaigns in history and has also won numerous awards, including TV Guide’s honor of “Number One Greatest Commercial of All Time.”

“This was obviously a great commercial for a couple reasons,” said Noah Everist, media investment supervisor at Compass Point Media, the media unit of Minneapolis advertising agency Campbell Mithun.

“Apple’s 1984 made people think and it told a story. Americans enjoy watching the game, but they also really want to see what the creative minds in our country can come up with,” he said.

“Ultimately, they want to be entertained, not just given a sales pitch.”

As advertisers attempt to tell a story, they often utilize longer advertising spots to convey their message, whether it is humorous or thought-provoking. Everist expects to see commercials that are longer than the typical 15 or 30 seconds in length.

“Our industry is buzzing with this; and it all goes back to the main theme: people want to hear a story,” Everist said. “They want the whole package.”

Over the past four-and-a-half decades, the game has evolved from a sporting event to a night of total entertainment, from commercials to the half-time show. According to Nielsen broadcast company, last year’s Super Bowl once again surpassed the record of the mostwatched television program of all time, with 111 million viewers across more than 53 million households.

This year’s viewership rates are expected to be no different, and advertisers are preparing for the monumental event. According to CNN Money, commercial expenses are expected to be record-breaking, averaging $3.5 million for every 30 seconds. This number is up more than 15 percent from last year.

“It really comes down to supply and demand.

America’s pastime was always watching television, but this medium has become very fragmented,” Everist said. “Advertising in the Super Bowl is a great way to reach a large amount of

people.”

But why do ad costs continue to rise? In the age of YouTube videos and home DVRs, the Super Bowl is one of the few survivors of live television broadcasts. Commercials cannot be fast-forwarded through and viewers actually turn to online media to watch their favorites repeatedly.

“Wise advertisers will make their Super Bowl ads their own ‘Super Bowl,’ promoting the spot virally before and after the game,” Everist said.

Future of advertising “Undoubtedly, the beer and auto industry will continue to make up the majority of advertising spots this year and will for years to come,” Everist predicted.

Last year, Volkswagen’s Darth Vader Kid amused audiences and captured the No. 1 spot across numerous top 10 lists. Chrysler also broke records, premiering the longest Super Bowl ad in history. Rapper Eminem drove a Chrysler 200 throughout the city of Detroit in an effort to restore faith in America’s economy.

The two-minute commercial also came with a large price tag, costing nearly $9 million.

“It’s hard to predict if Super Bowl spots will continue to increase in price; time will tell,” Everist said. “I can tell you this: Advertisers are already talking about next year’s ad, if not the one after that.”

Impress party guests with Super Bowl sandwich stadium

By Caitlyn Diimig AmesEats Flavors Writer Only one thing can outshine the upcoming Super Bowl brawl between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants: a sandwich stadium.

Not even mile-long touchdown passes by the quarterback gods Eli Manning and Tom Brady

will outdo a guacamole field of dreams. Nor will Manning and Brady’s model-hot wives look better than pastrami sandwiches and Slim Jim field goals.

If you can’t attend the Super Bowl, bring it to your party with a football stadium made of food.

Step-by-step directions:

1

2

Place guacamole in the center of the baking tin, spreading evenly while leaving room for the end zones.

Spoon salsa into one end zone and cheese dip into the other.

You will need: One 9 x 13 baking tin

several toothpicks

3 cups of guacamole 1/2 cup cheese dip

15 to 20 cheese cubes in two colors

1/2 cup salsa

1 bag of corn chips

sour cream in squeeze container

8 to 10 Subway sandwiches with desired deli meats, cheeses and condiments

5 6 7

3 4

Using a squeeze bottle or container, gently form lines of sour cream dividing down the field and separating the end zones.

Place cheese cubes strategically on the field with the different colors opposing each other.

2 large Slim Jims

8 9

To form the field goals, cut each Slim Jim into four parts. Join each of the parts together with toothpicks.

Cover any showing toothpicks and cheese cubes with salsa or cheese dip.

Cut slits through the sandwich subs to cover the edges of the baking tin.

Fill bowls with corn chips next to the stadium for easy access.
