Egyptian President Mubarak refuses to step down ISU student still hopeful for country to move on, new Egypt to emerge
Delegation to VP offered as concession

The Egypt in Youssef Hanna’s heart is strong. It is a country that hasn’t experienced a government’s corruption or any of the sadness that has been caused by a cabinet with the worst of intentions. But the Egypt in Youssef Hanna’s heart doesn’t exist yet. Hanna, 28, graduate in computer science, knows only of the country
shaped by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak’s 30-year term. “We have been treated like secondclass citizens for a Hanna whole long time,” Hanna said. “We would like to be treated like humans.” Mubarak was sworn into office in 1981, only two years before Hanna was born in Cairo. Five years ago, Hanna came to
Iowa State to study after attending the American University in Cairo. Each day he was in school, he would go to where the heart of the uprising in Egypt would occur: Tahrir Square in downtown Cairo. Living only a kilometer away from the presidential palace, Hanna and his family, like most Egyptian families, lived in an apartment about 15 kilometers outside Cairo. His parents still live there; and af-

CAIRO — Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stubbornly clung to the presidency late Thursday night, refusing in a highly anticipated speech to step down by saying he does not take orders from anyone outside Egypt. However, Mubarak said he would “delegate powers” to Vice President Omar Suleiman according to the Constitution — a major concession from the man who has

Firearm frenzy
Student organization promotes campus carrying By Hilary.Bassett iowastatedaily.com The nation watched closely as the people of Tucson, Ariz., suffered through a shooting that not only ended in six people killed and 12 wounded, but with a debate about gun rights that can be felt on the ISU campus. Last semester, a new student organization, Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, was started by Anthony Taylor, junior in software engineering, as a way to change the ISU policy on weapons. ISU policy reads, “Weapons are not permitted on the campus except for purposes of law enforcement and as specifically authorized for purposes of instruction, research or service.” Students for Concealed Carry on Campus is a national organization that began shortly after the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and is now found on many campuses across the United States. The group is a “national, non-partisan, grassroots organization composed of more than 43,000 college students, professors, college employees, parents of college students and concerned citizens,” according to its website. After approaching Eric Cooper, associate professor of psychology, about advising Students for Concealed Carry on Campus, Taylor began the process of approval and recruitment. With only seven members, a constitution yet to be approved and no set meetings, the club has a long road ahead of it, but that doesn’t keep members from setting goals. “All we’re talking about is changing the fact that people who are allowed to defend themselves anywhere else in the state are allowed to do so when going to class,” Taylor said. “It’s really more about the precaution.” Students for Concealed Carry on Campus has two key goals, according to the organization’s national website. The first is to work with state legislators and school administrators to allow college students the right to carry concealed on campus. The second is to edu-

cate the public in order to dispel the everyday myths and misconceptions traditionally associated with concealed carry on campus. “What I’ve found is the majority of people just haven’t made a decision on the issue because they don’t know enough about it,” Taylor said. “So educating the public would be the best thing.” Group members participate in one annual event April 4. Students nationwide wear an empty holster to class to further raise awareness on what they are trying to achieve.
ISU gun policy Authorized uses: The possession or use of weapons is prohibited on campus and in the course of university-related activities unless authorized through the Firearms and Other Weapons Application process. Definition: Weapons include any pistol, revolver, shotgun, machine gun, rifle or other firearm, BB or pellet gun, Taser or stun gun, bomb, grenade, mine or other explosive or incendiary device, ammunition, archery equipment, dagger, stiletto, switchblade knife or knife having a blade exceeding five inches in length. Residents of university housing may possess knives having a blade exceeding five inches for cooking purposes.

Permits issued rises as result of ‘shall-issue’ gun legislation By Addie.Olson iowastatedaily.com
August brought dramatic amounts of rainfall to Ames, resulting in flooding and damages. The residents of Ash Avenue are worried that may happen again, particularly if the proposed Cyclone Sports Complex does not address the area’s current drainage situation. In August, the space east of the Towers residence halls, already saturated with rainfall, spilled water over Ash Avenue and into yards and homes along the street. The university and ISU athletics department want to construct the facility — to house the soccer, softball and track teams — on that space, and are working with the city to improve drainage in the area. “That’s what they don’t want to see get worse,” said John Joiner, director of Ames Public Works. “And they want to see, since they’re starting from scratch in this area, what can be done to make it better.” Joiner said the university did not have to work with the city on this project, and could have installed a plan independently. However, Warren Madden, vice president of business and finance, said the university is working to meet city and Department of Natural Resources standards for storm sewer and sanitary sewer management at the site. “The city standards and the DNR standards sort of lead you down a path that we’re hoping will actually do a better job of managing the water on that site,” Madden said. Original plans for the complex brought concerns from the community about drainage and flooding. Revised plans released by the university on Tuesday feature an area for “floodwater detention,” illustrating the university’s addressing of the situation. Flooding is the major reason the ISU soccer team will move to the new facility after its current home flooded in August. The ISU soccer complex resides in the flood plain north of Maple-Willow-Larch halls, ruling that location out for the new complex. Prior to plans for the complex being released in December, the city had no set plans to address the Ash Avenue drainage situation. For the city, the complex arrives as a chance to improve the drainage situation along Ash Avenue. “We would have approached Iowa State to see what we could have done to make that situation better,” Joiner said. “It just happened to be a convenience and a coincidence.”
Imagine living in a time when all men carried guns snugly in their holsters, arguments were settled by simply drawing pistols and criminals were taken out with a single round. Imagine the same scenes playing out at a Campustown bar or during a gas station holdup. Although these scenarios might seem unlikely, they are possible under Iowa’s new “shall-issue” gun law. The law entitles almost anyone without previous commitment to a mental health institution or a serious criminal record to carry a concealed weapons permit. Under Iowa’s former “may-issue” law, sheriffs had the discretion to refuse concealed weapons permits to applicants they felt were unfit. Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald has already run into problems with applicants who are under criminal investigation but have no current convictions. “We also have an individual who is known to be an abuser in his home, but he has no criminal history, so we can’t deny someone we know to be violent a gun,” Fitzgerald said. He also said a detailed written statement outlining why someone should not own a gun is now needed to refuse a permit. “The sheriff no longer has any discretionary authority to issue permits,” he said. “I can deny it, but it has to be a very specific reason.” Fitzgerald also said there has been a huge increase in the number of permits issued since the legislation became effective Jan. 1. Story County Capt. Barry Thomas said a total of 429 permits were issued in Story County last year. The first month of the legislation almost matched this number, with 416 permits being issued in January alone. Some businesses feel threatened by the upsurge in people who are now able to carry weapons. The sheriffs and police chiefs of several counties across Iowa are encouraging businesses to ban guns from their premises. Shall issue - 37 Ames has not yet seen this No-issue - 2 push, but it’s possible that Campustown properties and

Trailer park living standards debated By Kaleb.Warnock iowastatedaily.com It’s not easy to miss the mobile home parks that dot the Iowa landscape, especially when driving through Ames on Highway 30 or west of town on Lincoln Way. There is no question as to whether or not some trailer park tenants are in a difficult situation, but what about landlords? Problems in mobile home courts are a doublesided coin that is an ongoing debate for Iowa lawmakers. Both perspectives were manifest Wednesday night in the College of Design. Lee Rood, projects and investigations editor for the Des Moines Register, discussed her recent series of investigative articles regarding trailer parks in Iowa. Rood, an award-winning author, is currently working on a series of articles exploring life in mobile home parks in Iowa and the Midwest. Her research focused on problems tenants of mobile home parks face and what possibilities exist to mediate them. Through her investigative reporting, she examined the terrible conditions many low-income families in Iowa have to face. “What I learned about Iowa is that you have a lot of people that are interested in buying these old trailers thinking that
buying anything is better than renting something to provide for their families,” Rood said. She also explored the issue of corporate speculation, which takes advantage of many mobile home owners and tenants. Many large companies purchase mobile home parks and attempt to manage them without interacting with the people who live there. In some cases, they are taking advantage of those who can’t afford to live anywhere else. “People were giving this company all of the money they had to buy whatever trailers were available and they were paying the highest lot rent in the county to boot,” Rood said, “just to call those places home.” One argument Rood discussed was the lack of regulation for older mobile homes and how many tenants are taken advantage of because of their desperate situation. Landlords sometimes evict tenants and sell their homes when the tenant is unable to afford to relocate their mobile home. However, Andy Kelly, a Nevada mobile home park owner, responded to Rood’s lecture with a series of prepared statements defending small-time landlords. “It’s terrible to evict a mobile home,” Kelly said. “To evict a mobile home, first off,
you don’t have to have much of a reason legally, but I’ve never made money on an eviction. It’s not easy to evict a mobile home in Iowa; the same cost a homeowner faces to move a home, I face.” Also, many mobile home owners fall through the cracks and have to live in decrepit trailers nowhere near basic standards of living. One of Rood’s investigations of a corporate-owned trailer park in Kansas revealed that a company refused to pay for a hazardous-materials team to clean up after a person had lay dead in a trailer for several days. Most of the criticism accused owners of failing to maintain basic necessities for the homes and being slow or reluctant to fix the problem. Rood called on the State of Iowa to make changes and put pressure on landlords to maintain their properties at a higher standard. Accordingly, Kelly presented his argument for legislation, citing his own experience as a landlord managing 31 homes. “The appeal of the cheap homes is gone by making them more expensive,” Kelly said. “The problem with everything isn’t the home. It’s the people in that situation. I just don’t see the problem being fixed with more legislation because either the cost of living is going to go up, or it’s going to be passed to the government.”
other local businesses will consider this ban. The new law states that a concealed weapons permit does not become invalid until the carrier’s blood alcohol content reaches .08. This allows permit-holders to bring guns into bars while drinking. The previous legislation had no standards for alcohol consumption by carriers. Businesses with beer and liquor licenses might want to consider how they would regulate the consumption of carriers as a preventative measure, but many feel that the new law will prevent

crime rather than spur it. Robert Fowler, Des Moines resident and lobbyist for the Iowa Firearms Coalition, believes that although businesses should have the discretion to ban guns, he feels much better protected while carrying his. “The police can’t always be there to protect you,” Fowler said. “Hopefully you’re not in that situation, but unfortunately it happens.” Fowler said the “shallissue” law is about fairness. By creating state-wide mandates on issuing gun permits, no one can be denied a weapon because of subjective
reasoning. “They still have the discretion they need, the only difference now is they have to tell you why and write up why they won‘t give you the permit,” he said. Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, voted for the bill when it reached the Senate last March. He recognized that the issue is controversial and reactions were greatly varied. “It’s something of a trade off,” Quirmbach said. “In some counties, gun permits were all but impossible to obtain, and in other counties they were handed out like water.”

It was recently announced that American Atheists, an advocacy group for the civil rights of non-religious people and the separation of church and state, chose Des Moines as its host city for its 2011 national convention in April. Gress said the next step is to promote throughout communities how Darwin’s challenge to conventional wisdom changed how we view the world. “That’s the beauty of science and critical thinking,” Gress said. “We are discovering things that no one in the past would have imagined, and we’re doing it at a rate that no one could have predicted even a decade ago.” Gress said Darwin Day is important to atheists in particular because Darwin’s discovery was the first scientific challenge to a religious world view. “[Darwin] gave us a method for understanding the bottomup process that was able to produce the diversity and complexity seen in living things today,” Gress said. “Prior to this, people were only aware of the top-down process of design. Things were viewed in the world and assumed to have a designer. Darwin turned this idea on its head.” Kristoffer Scott, junior in electrical engineering and president of the Atheist and Agnostic Society, said the group plans to be a little more festive in this week’s Ask an Atheist booth, located near the west entrance of the Memorial Union. Randy Henderson is the president of Iowa Atheists and Freethinkers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local atheist, agnostic, secular humanist, free thinkers and other non-religious people. Henderson said Darwin Day is a celebration of scientific study and understanding. “Darwin is probably one of the biggest free thinkers in terms of evolution, which has grown beyond being just a theory,” Henderson said. Henderson also believes religion can often supersede scientific study. “Societies today are influenced by religion, and I think that gets in the way of setting aside a day to celebrate scientific discovery,” Henderson said.

True Life: My boyfriend is a germaphobe By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com Editor’s note: Annotations — e.g. (A), (B), etc. — by John Lonsdale, Taysha’s boyfriend.
Dating a guy with some germ problems
O
nce, when my boyfriend and I had just started dating, I leaned in to kiss him and he hesitated. After I gave him a puzzled look, he awkwardly reminded me about a pen I had borrowed from a stranger and used earlier that day (A). Apparently I had then proceeded to chew on my thumbnail, and this had been bothering him all afternoon. Now, there are some things that are sexy to talk about with your boyfriend. Germs is simply not one of
them. I was very turned off, and there wasn’t much I could think to do about it except go to the bathroom and wash my hands. The whole situation astounded me, frankly. I realized then that I was dating a — gasp! — germaphobe (B). He was one of those people who I had always scoffed at, and now I was dating one. Well, not really; he’s not obsessive-compulsive or anything. I just like to tease him, because he’s more cautious about some things than I am, and sanitation is deďŹ nitely one of those things. I, on the other hand, have always been extremely unconcerned about germs — probably to a fault — so even the smallest amount of germ anxiety seemed unnecessary to me. I truly believe not thinking about germs
makes my life so much easier, and I don’t like it when people get grossed out too easily. Not that I have bad hygiene. I wash my hands, I shower, I vacuum occasionally (C). Then I started dating a germaphobe, and I started to think that maybe he’s right. Germs can be a big deal after all. Bacterial diseases like strep throat, and viruses like the measles are nothing to joke about; so he ďŹ gures, why not do everything you can to be healthy? Now I catch myself passing on free samples and covering public toilet seats with toilet paper before I sit down (D). I should be thankful, really, considering how many disgusting men there are in this world. Somehow I managed to snag a clean one (E).
Right now there are women annoyed with me for complaining. This doesn’t mean I’ve stopped teasing him, though. It gives me a kind of weird satisfaction to obnoxiously devour the food he’s dropped on the oor and decided is too contaminated to consume. It would be a shame to see a great piece of bacon go to waste, after all (F). During the course of our relationship, we’ve deďŹ nitely compromised. The trick with any relationship issue is to be sensitive and empathetic to the other person’s concerns and try to adapt accordingly. Through compromise, he’s now a lot more laid back, and I take more precautions than I used to (G). Part of me wants to blame him for making me worry more; part of me
wants to thank him for making me more conscientious. People never change completely, though. If there’s a speck of anything in his water, he’s going to dump it out (H). If he disappears for a few minutes when we ďŹ rst get to a restaurant, I know he’s in the bathroom, washing his hands (I). If a food item is a day past its expiration date, he will throw it out. As for me, when a Skittle drops on the oor, you bet your ass I’ll be picking it up and eating it; depending on the oor, of course. Germs may not be the sexiest thing to talk about, but with Valentine’s Day coinciding with death cold 2011 — I think I may have started that, by the way, sorry (J) — it may just be worth it. (K)
In John’s defense: Counterpoints to Taysha’s criticisms of his ‘problem’ A. Don’t forget about that time you let that homeless man use your lighter to smoke, things. B. You forgot to mention that I’m ridiculously good looking. C. You’re really good about cleaning. If only your roommates wouldn’t let that mold accumulate in your sink; twice. D. I don’t do this. I love free
samples and I don’t sit down to go to the bathroom. E. I’m pretty thankful you’re not gross, too. Especially with all the women with incessant leg hair walking around out there. Talking to you, girl in Caribou from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesdays. F. Hope you enjoyed the hair on
that bacon. I think my parents really approved of you after that one. G. Because of you, I’m a wild child now. The other day, I ate that apple without washing it off ďŹ rst. And I don’t even use the sanitizing wipes they give you for the carts at Target anymore.

H. Perkins. I. I had no idea you knew about that. J. Thanks for that, by the way. K. I’m glad you’re not a germaphobe, because you really helped me not to be. Being cautious about germs is good from time to time, but not always. I’m going to drink my
milk one day past Feb. 12, and I’m not going to get therapy for this new condition that I realize may have been a problem, but maybe I should. As that guy says on the radio, you’re amazing, just the way you are.

Sunday’s game might bring back a win after two losses By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com There’s no place like home. Iowa State is hoping that statement rings true as it returns to Hilton Coliseum on Sunday to face Kansas State. The Cyclones (16-7, 4-5 Big 12) enter the game after dropFennelly ping their last two contests to Kansas and Oklahoma, both on the road. The Cyclones lost those two games by a combined total of four points. With their two-game skid putting them out of the top 25, their road against the Wildcats won’t get any easier. Kansas State (16-6, 6-3) is led by sophomore guard Brittany Chambers, who is averaging 15 points and six rebounds per game. Junior forward Jalana Childs and sophomore guard Taelor Carr are averaging 12 and 10 points per game. The Wildcats are currently sitting fourth in the Big 12 and are coming off a 10-point loss to Texas. ISU senior shooting guard Kelsey Bolte has been solid all season long for the Cyclones, scoring 20 points or more in eight of the team’s nine conference games. Freshman forward Hallie Christofferson has also been on a tear as of late, averaging 14 points and five rebounds during the past four games. The two teams split at 1-1 last season. The most recent contest was a defensive battle in Ames resulting in a 48-39 victory for Iowa State. At this point in the season last year, the Cyclones were 18-4 overall and 6-3 in the conference. Iowa State is currently ranked sixth in the conference; however, this is the final game against an opponent ranked higher than them in the standings. It is unknown whether sophomore center Anna Prins, who missed the Oklahoma game with knee injury, will play against Kansas State. The game is set for 4 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2.

The Cyclones hold a 3-11 record in Phog Allen Memorial Fieldhouse since the Big 12 was founded in 1996. Iowa State lost its first matchup with Kansas this season, 84-79.

tion in the post. Garrett was one point short of his career high with 27 points, but KU post players Marcus and Markieff Morris combined for 50 points and 24 rebounds. The Jayhawks finished with 16 more points in the paint than the Cyclones and out-rebounded Iowa State by 13. “They’re obviously very talented and very well coached,” said guard Scott Christopherson. “They’re going to make shots and make plays over the course of the game, you gotta try not to give them anything easy. Any time you’ve got guys that talented, you don’t want them to give them any
easier baskets and get their confidence going, because then it can be a long night.” Since the start of the Big 12 season, Iowa State has had major struggles with defending efficiently. In the first few conference games, the Cyclones would just get off to slow starts. Now, the problem is defending consistently, as three of Iowa State’s last four opponents have shot more than 50 percent from the field. The fact Kansas is No. 1 in the nation in field goal percentage, that’s potentially salt in an open wound. “We just need to try and make it tougher on them,” Hoiberg said.
“We’ll have to mix in some different defenses, and we have to keep them off the boards. They just don’t have any weaknesses, they’re playing at a very high level right now and we’ve got to go in there and play smart to give ourselves a chance.” As improbable as it sounds that Iowa State could end its current losing stretch at one of the toughest places to play in the country, the Cyclones have far and away been the best road team at Allen Fieldhouse. Iowa State is 3-11 at the old gymnasium since the Big 12 Conference was formed, with every other conference foe combining for just 5-97 when visiting Lawrence. “Personally, I love it,” Garrett said. “The crowd is there before the shoot-around begins, it’s crazy. The legends that have been through there, I like being a part of it.” Additionally, this will be the final game of freshman Calvin Godfrey’s three-game suspension.

With home duals behind them, the ISU wrestling team will have to take its talents on the road for the remainder of the regular season, beginning this weekend at Missouri. The Cyclones (9-8, 0-2 Big 12) will put their three-match winning streak on the line against the No. 18 ranked Tigers (14-8, 1-3). “It’s a Big 12 opponent so you know they are going to come out and wrestle hard,” said redshirt sophomore Max Mayfield. “Being a conference match, it’s a big one for both of us and I think both of us are going to bring everything we have.” Since a six-match skid, the Cyclones have turned the corner with a trio of victories over Binghamton, Northern Iowa and Arizona State. Captains Jon Reader and Andrew Sorenson have paced the squad through their recent stretch. No. 1-ranked Reader extended his season re-

word!
There can’t be a more fitting place to start a run of four straight games against ranked opponents than Phog Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan. Iowa State has a big opportunity to shake up its season against No. 2 Kansas on Saturday. A win at the historic home of the Jayhawks (23-1, 8-1) would end a six-game losing streak, break an 11-game losing streak to Kansas and give the Cyclones (14-10, 1-8) some much-needed confidence they haven’t shown in recent weeks. “I’m excited about going in there, it’ll be a challenge and I think our guys are excited,” said coach Fred Hoiberg. “The big thing is we need to go out and get off to a good start. We dig ourselves a hole and then you’ve got to find a way to dig out of it. Our crowd was phenomenal, but we’re not going to have that support this time in Lawrence. It’s a very difficult place to play, as hard as anywhere in the country.” Just a month ago at Hilton Coliseum, Hoiberg’s Cyclones played Kansas to a tight 84-79 loss and bounced back just days later with their only Big 12 win over Baylor. After the game, the Cyclones all agreed they didn’t believe in moral victories but holding the highly-ranked Jayhawks until the end gave the squad confidence that this recent skid has deteriorated. “We’ve got to come out and be the first to be aggressive,” said guard Diante Garrett. “If we come out and show that we can hang them and punch them in the mouth, just play as smart as we can we can stay in the game as long as we want to.” One thing that wasn’t close Jan. 12 was Kansas’ domina-
When: 1 p.m. Sunday Notes: Iowa State takes to the road to defend its three-dual winning streak, dating back to a win over Binghamton on Jan. 30. ISU senior Chris Drouin will face former Arizona State teammate Todd Schavrien in their bout at 141 pounds. Both transferred away from Arizona State.
cord to 30-0, while Sorenson has maintained his spot in the top 10. Sorenson, though, is likely to be in one of Sunday’s toughest bouts. The crowd favorite in Ames will have to perform equally well in front of a hostile crowd if he hopes to defeat Missouri’s No. 9 ranked Zach Toal. “I expect to win,” said Sorenson, who has been battling through a recent ankle injury. “I expect to dominate. My ankle is feeling fine and I just have to keep
my hands moving.” Perhaps the day’s most intriguing match will come at 141 pounds. Iowa State’s All American Chris Drouin will make his long-awaited return to the squared circle against former teammate Todd Schavrien. Both nationally-ranked wrestlers began their careers at Arizona State University. Schavrien left the Sun Devils in 2008, while Drouin traveled west to Ames following the 2009-2010 season. Their paths crossed again at the Midlands tournament earlier this season, with Drouin edging Schavrien. “I should be able to fire off and get takedowns, I should be able to ride, I should be able to do all the things tactically,” Drouin said.
“I plan on putting up a ‘W’ whether its three [points] or six [points].” Schavrien and Toal are just two of the Tiger’s six nationally ranked wrestlers. The hosts also sport top 20 wrestlers at 125 pounds, 184 pounds, 194 pounds and heavyweight, where Dom Bradley carries the fewest losses on the team with a 22-3 record. “We’ve put it on them the last few years and they are looking for vengeance,” Sorenson said. Sunday’s dual will kick off at 1 p.m. in Columbia, Miss.

>>GROUP.p1 The arrival of a group advocating these changes to campus life has created a cause for concern for several members of the ISU community. “I think that if people started carrying concealed weapons on campus, the atmosphere of campus will change to one where people are fearful and suspicious of other people,” said Stephanie Madon, associate professor of psychology. “I think the potential for harm is much greater than any benefit we could ever possibly hope to get out of students carrying concealed weapons on campus.” Many researchers have studied violence or violent behaviors and have found theories that could be applied to concealed carry on campus. “In social psychology, there’s this very robust effect called the weapons effect, which is a tendency for people to behave aggressively when they are in the presence of a weapon,” Madon said. “Based on the evidence I’m familiar with, I do not think that having more guns on campus, being carried by students, is going to reduce violence.” However, some say the exact opposite. “Of all the campuses that do allow campus carry, there hasn’t been a single incident where there’s been an act of violence involving guns,” Taylor said. “People who have bad intentions are going to do it anyway. A rule doesn’t stop them. All it

Srour echoed Mubarak’s statement and said the Constitution specifically prohibits the president from delegating other key powers to the vice president. As a result, the power to dismiss Parliament or dismiss the government and the power to ask for amendments to the Constitution remain in Mubarak’s hands, not Suleiman’s. “The vice president is the de facto president,” said Sameh Shoukry, Egypt’s ambassador to the United States. His speech did little to calm the tempers of protesters in Tahrir Square. “Get out! Get out!” was chanted as Mubarak spoke. Protesters watched his
speech on screens hoisted above their heads up on the square. Quiet at first, protesters waited to hear what Mubarak would say. When it became clear he would not stand down, they erupted. “Illegitimate!” they said. “Mubarak, the coward, must stand down!” In his speech, Mubarak stressed — as he has before — he would not run for another term in September. He also said he would move to repeal Article 179 of the Constitution, which allows Mubarak to send anyone suspected of terrorism to a military court, “as soon as we regain stability and security.” Human Rights Watch has documented 302 deaths since the Jan. 25 rally that ignited Egypt’s revolt.

thefts that had been reported across Cairo. Hanna visited his parents during Winter Break and returned Jan. 18 to Iowa. When he heard of the protests only days after, Hanna called his parents on a landline phone because the government had blocked the Internet and other com-
munication devices. His parents said they were OK, and now things are starting to get back to normal: banks are starting to open and people are tired of the instability. Hanna finds whatever normalcy is, it will not be such an easy task to achieve. After Mubarak’s speech Thursday, Hanna called home to speak with his parents and checked with his friends on Facebook who were very frustrated. “He’s just not going to step down,” Hanna said. “People are doing peaceful demonstrations, but [they’re] going to lose their tempers eventually. He’s just pushing us more and more. “I just hope [today] isn’t violent. Usually Fridays are the biggest protests. I just hope the Army joins in. If they don’t, tomorrow is definitely going to be bloody.”
