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

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.

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
