Sports Complex
Official ISU statement under review By Alli.Kolick iowastatedaily.com The current ISU diversity statement has been in place since 2006 and the University Committee on Diversity has been working on the new statement for the last year and a half. As of 2006, the statement reads: “ISU defines diversity as that quality of its physical, social, cultural and intellectual environment which embraces the rich difference within the multiplicity of human expression and characteristics including: Age, Cultural, Ethnicity, Gender Identification and Presentation, Language and Linguistic Ability, Physical Ability and Quality, Race, Religion, Sexual Orientation, and Socioeconomic Status.” “We wanted to be very open and transparent and get as much feedback as possible,” said Joel Geske, associate professor of journalism and mass communication, about the process of creating the new diversity definition. When looking at different university diversity statements, there is a wide range of definitions

Facility plan discussed Ames residents continue to debate drainage problems By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com The crowd that filled the Knapp-Storms Dining Complex described itself as “the community of Iowa State.” There were ISU alumni, faculty members and athletes mixed in with the communities of Storm Street and Ash Avenue, the areas immediately surrounding the proposed site of the Cyclone Sports Complex. Tuesday night, the community gathered for the second time to discuss the proposed plans with Warren Madden, vice president of business and finance, and Jamie
Pollard, ISU director of athletics. “We’re [ISU] people,” said Jean Liles, ISU alumna and 36-year Ash Avenue resident. “We’re all a little scared and we want things addressed.” The thing the Ash Avenue community most wanted addressed was the drainage problem potentially posed by the construction of the facility, set to be the new home of the ISU track, softball and soccer teams. The neighborhoods in the area already operate with an “aging infrastructure,” said Barbara Pleasants, adjunct assistant professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology and Lynn Avenue resident. That infrastructure results in basement floods that occur with regularity during the summer months, and not necessarily during floods like those Ames had in
August. “Of a great concern is the water issue,” Pleasants said. “Our homes were all built [between] 1900 to 1920, almost all of them. We have a very old infrastructure.” “Anything that adds to the burden of that old infrastructure is of great concern.” The site is currently intramural fields and green space east of the Towers residence halls. With the addition of a 1,500seat stadium, a hard-surface track, increased plumbing and sewer usage and irrigation of field turf, runoff from the site is sure to increase. Several times throughout Tuesday night’s meeting, community members asked Madden for answers on how the city and university planned to handle water disposal, aside from the water retention area designed into the complex schematics.
Each time, Madden deferred to the lack of engineering plans, which won’t be drawn up until after the Board of Regents approves the Complex’s schematic design. “We will be responsible for managing the water on our land,” Madden said. “We are committed to do that. And I have every expectation that as this plan moves forward that will be one of the conditions subject to continuing on to develop this contract.” Community members were not entirely content with the answers provided. “I’m disappointed that we have another meeting with concerns about water, and there’s nobody here to answer the questions,” said Michael Burkart, associate professor of geological and atmospheric sciences and Ash Avenue resident.
Volunteers honored with scholarships By Briana.Haguewood iowastatedaily.com The Student Activities Center wishes to “give back” to those ISU students who have given extraordinary time and effort serving the community. Students with a history and an interest in community service can now apply to be recognized through three scholarship and award opportunities that acknowledge outstanding volunteers. The Target Community Service Scholarship, Story County Youth Volunteer Awards and Non-Profit Protégé Program are all available through the Student Activities Center for any student with an interest in creating change through service work. Applications are due in early March for all three opportunities. The Target Community Service Scholarship will recognize three ISU undergraduate students with $800 scholarships. This is the second year that the Student Activities Center was invited to apply for and

Sustainability
Solar panel costs, benefits presented By Elisse.Lorenc iowastatedaily.com Electricity can be generated through a variety of resources and John Maurer, president of Ames Engineering, Inc., is researching the use of solar panels in particular. More specifically, Maurer works with solar thermal, which can be used to heat buildings, and solar electric, which is used to generate electricity for lights and other appliances. “Light is composed of particles called photons, so when light rays come and strike a semi-conductive material [the solar panel], it excites those photons and converts them into electrons,” said Vikram Dalal, professor of electrical and computer engineering. “The electrons
float to the outside wires as one way to produce electricity from the sun.” Maurer’s history with solar Maurer energy began with his summer home in Canada, where he supplemented solar electric panels as a cleaner and more silent form of electricity. “I was looking for a solution because prior to that when you wanted power your only choice was really to run a generator and it’s noisy ... it makes it unpleasant,” Maurer said. Maurer started with a batterybased electric system, using the generator to power up the battery

Johnny Depp doesn’t want his kids in showbiz While celebrity parents like Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith may encourage their kids to pursue show business careers, Johnny Depp doesn’t want his children following in his footsteps. “I’d be horrified,” Depp said to CNN of how he would react if daughter Lily-Rose and son Jack became entertainers. Depp, whose partner Vanessa Paradis, an actress/singer/ model, said being a performer involves too much heartache. “Once you’ve sort of been on the campus grounds for as long as any of us have, you have a great understanding of the amount of rejection that is involved initially and right on through,” Depp said.

“That’s really frustrating.� Madden said that after Board of Regents’ approval, the university would begin detailed planning and hiring engineers to design water management systems. After those plans are drawn up, the plans would have to be approved by city engineers and the Department of Natural Resources before construction could begin. “We’ll take the comments that were made and see if there are ways we can improve this site,� Madden said after the meeting’s conclusion. “I personally don’t think there have been a set of ideas that would cause this to change hugely.� “It’s still a work in prog-
ress, so there certainly can be improvements made. I would expect that would continue to happen.� Madden also made a commitment near the end of the meeting to meet once more with a small group of representatives from the community, but no time for that meeting has been discussed. Throughout the meeting community members questioned the facility’s location while debating potential problems with noise and light pollution, and the aesthetics of the site. Sites such as the existing Southwest Athletic Complex, the university’s old dairy farms and moving the plans slightly to the west were all proposed. Madden said the Southwest facility incurred

Recipients of the SAC scholarships in the past found the volunteer work they did in the past to be rewarding. “College can become a self-centered occupation with all pressure to go and do and be something that someone will want to hire someday,â€? said Hannah McCulloh, one of last year’s recipients of the Target Community Service Scholarships and a senior in history. “Service steps away from that, though, and gives me a chance to see myself and others in a different light.â€? And the actions did not go unwatched. “Receiving this scholarship made me realize that people actually noticed what I was doing,â€? said Ryan Sievers, a 2010 Target award recipient and graduate in civil, construction and environmental engineering. Applications for this scholarship can be found on the Student Activities Center website and are due March 5. Recipients will be selected sometime this spring, and funds distributed in fall 2011. “This scholarship is important because there are not many ways on campus to recognize students that are very involved in community service,â€? said Jennifer Nissen, coordinator of leadership and service for the Student Activities Center. “It’s important to be able to give students not only a monetary award but also the recognition they deserve.â€? Nissen said the selection committee who will evaluate applications would be looking for students who have really given extra time and effort to serve the community. Applicants’ ďŹ nancial need, along with volunteer experience, will be taken into consideration when select-

Cereplast hosts contest for bioplastics logo design By Elisse.Lorenc iowastatedaily.com Cereplast, a bioplastics company, is hosting a nationwide contest to design a logo that will be embossed onto bioplastic products manufactured from their pellets. By selling the pellets to other companies that manufacture the bioplastics, Cereplast initiated the contest to create an indication that consumers are using bioplastic products. “There’s deďŹ nitely a demand with the companies that we work with that want a way to indicate the materials they are using are bioplastics,â€? said Nicole Cardi, vice president of communications and marketing for Cereplast. “When [other companies] take a step to work with the materials like ours, one of the parts that’s missing right now is a way for those companies to communicate throughout their consumers that they’ve made the choice [for bioplastics].â€? Cereplast will be accepting designs until March 4. Voting for the logo will remain open until March 11. Applicants must be 18 or older and a legal resident of the United States to apply. The winner of the contest shall receive $25,000 with international recognition for the winning logo. That recognition is essential to students like John Thorson, webmaster for the Design Council. “It’s that international recognition that employers will see right away that really would beneďŹ t what [students] are doing,â€? he said. We wanted to get the public involved by encouraging public voting and also using the contest as a way to spread awareness about bioplastics, Cardi said. Contests such as these tend to be really good for design students, said Brandon Alvarado, president of the Graphic Design Student Association. “For design students, this is a really good opportunity to meet the goals of what other companies are looking for,â€? Alvarado said. Bioplastics are produced from the proteins of plants, or various starches such as corn or tapioca. One way manufacturers might ďŹ nd bioplastics as an advantage is in their potential uses. “You’re seeing [bioplastics in] a lot of food packaging applications,â€? said David Grewell, associate professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering. Bioplastics have been used
to make the SunChip bags, utensils and food containers. The bioplastics made from plant proteins can be used in pots for plants — which are water stable — they retain water so people don’t have to water plants over and over again, he said. “The plant protein plastics are a source of nitrogen and serve as an additional fertilizer for the plant,� Grewell said. Because petroleum is becoming more scarce, Grewell stresses our future dependence on renewable materials such as bioplastics. With this in mind, Cereplast urges contestants to create a logo similar in fashion as how the recycle logo appears on products, simple yet effective. “Usually you want a mark to be simple,� said Lisa Fontaine, associate professor of graphic design. “The simpler they are, the easier they
are to remember, but simple can mean generic and you don’t want to be generic. The goal is to be a simple-looking form but still have complexity in the concept.â€? A great symbol has this amazing balance between being simple enough but being unique enough so that when a person sees it, they can remember what company it stands for, Fontaine said. “Brand recognition is something that graphic designers are always looking at,â€? Thorson said. “Consumers come in and mostly they buy what they know, and if you make a logo that’s easily identiďŹ able, people will be able to relate that to the product.â€? Once a logo is selected, Cereplast will use the logo to label their pellets, the same logo will be used by other manufacturers who purchase the Cereplast’s pellets.

Last year, 35 to 40 students applied for the Target scholarships — this year SAC already received at least that many applications, with the deadline still weeks away. Individuals and groups who have displayed admirable volunteer service in the past year qualify for the Story County Youth Volunteer Awards. Award-winners can be elementary school, middle school, high school or collegelevel groups or students, or community volunteers and groups. Nomination forms can be found online and are due March 18. For students interested in working in the non-proďŹ t ďŹ eld, the Non-ProďŹ t ProtĂŠgĂŠ Program is an opportunity to gain ďŹ rsthand experience and insight into the work involved, Nissen said. Through directly shadowing an administrator of an Ames non-proďŹ t organization during the fall semester, protĂŠgĂŠs will be able to experience the energetic and eventful atmosphere of the non-proďŹ t world. “This experience was really rewarding because I was able to speak with the president weekly and I am still working with the organization now,â€? said Jasmine Swyningan, senior in economics, about her work as a protĂŠgĂŠ at United Way of Story County. “They were warm and welcoming, which led me to take on an independent study there and I decided to incorporate them into my research.â€? ProtĂŠgĂŠs will sit in on their mentor’s weekly board meetings, staff and committee meetings, and visits with potential ďŹ nancial sponsors. To be considered for the program, ISU students must be of at least sophomore standing, have a minimum 2.5 GPA, and plan to be a full- time undergraduate ISU student next fall. Applications are due March 4.

Editorial
S.D. doctors under duress due to bill Imagine you’re a doctor who performs abortions for women who need them. Imagine you’re one of the four outof-state doctors who spend one day per month in a small clinic in Sioux Falls, S.D., to do this for women who have not had access to an in-state provider since 1994. Imagine a woman who has been raped seeks your help in ending the pregnancy that resulted from the violent act. Imagine this woman’s father does not approve of abortions, and refuses to support her decision or your legal right to assist her. Imagine South Dakota state law says it’s all right for him to walk into that small, lonely clinic, and kill you. House Bill 1171 would do just that, despite its sponsor, state Rep. Phil Jensen’s statements to the contrary. Jensen told Talking Points Memo that the “code only deals with illegal acts, which doesn’t include abortion.” But we’ve read the bill, and we disagree with Jensen. “Homicide is justifiable if committed by any person in the lawful defense of such person, or of his or her husband, wife, parent, child, master, mistress, or servant, or the unborn child of any such enumerated person, if there is reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony, or to do some great personal injury, and imminent danger of such design being accomplished,” according to House Bill 1171. It seems to us that there would be plenty of room for a criminal defendant who killed an abortion doctor to claim that this law protects him or her from legal repercussions. There’s nothing there to distinguish abortion from “great personal injury” in the eyes of a husband or family member who disagrees with a woman’s choice. In the cases of the eight doctors assassinated by anti-abortion extremists and the 17 who were victims of attempted murders since 1993, some perpetrators have already tried to use a justifiable homicide defense in trial. This legislation endorses that defense. By endorsing extremist violence, this bill endorses domestic terrorism. This legislation is not about protecting a woman’s or a child’s life, and it’s shameful to operate under such a guise. And furthermore, it’s a waste of the legislature’s time. Just like so many other states, South Dakota is in a budget crisis; with a $127 million shortfall, in fact. And its legislators are focusing their energy on making it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. We thought Republicans were supposed to be about fiscal responsibility. Shame on the ones from South Dakota who would rather focus on justifying violence from anti-abortion extremists.

Self-defense classes offer empowerment
W
e all think we’re invincible at some point in our lives, don’t we? We assume we’re stronger, faster, and smarter than the average person, and therefore don’t need to worry about the possibility of being robbed or attacked. Besides, those sorts of things only happen to people who are in sketchy situations to begin with. Right? I think the one in six women who have been sexually assaulted would have something to say about that. In the United States, someone is sexually assaulted every two minutes. Women between the ages of 18 and 24 are the most likely victims. College women are four times more likely to be assaulted than any other group. This statistic alone is more than enough reason to learn self-defense. The ISU Judo Club will be hosting a selfdefense seminar Feb. 27 in 202E Forker. The event starts at 4 p.m. and is free to all students. This is your chance to acquire new knowledge that could save your life some day. Whether or not you see yourself as a strong
person doesn’t matter. You will learn what your weaknesses are and discover strengths you never knew you had. The seminar is a great start for those who are curious about selfdefense or unsure where to begin. When I first joined the ISU Judo Club at the start of the school year, I had no idea what I was doing. All I knew was that I wanted to be able to defend myself, and martial arts seemed like a good place to start. Judo is a Japanese martial art developed by Jigoro Kano in the 19th century. It uses the principle of “maximum efficiency” and is an excellent method of self-defense. In essence, you are taught to use an opponent’s force against them, and to expend the least amount of energy when doing so. Being shy, short and not particularly coordinated, judo seemed like the worst idea I’d had in a long time. I felt sure I’d quit within a week. However, I surprised myself by sticking with and actually enjoying it. I realized that learning self-defense is not only important, it’s a ton of fun and a great way to relieve stress. So even if you think martial arts isn’t right for you, show up Feb. 27 at 202E Forker and give it a try. You might surprise yourself. It’s
free, and you get to throw people around for a little while. What have you got to lose? One in every four college women will be sexually assaulted in some way during their academic career. This is an unbelievable number. That victim could be your classmate, your friend, your sister. Raising awareness is certainly one of the best ways to lower this statistic, but it’s not foolproof. Preventing violence is crucial-but being prepared to handle it is just as important. Even if you never have to use your knowledge, learning how to protect yourself is an empowering experience. I’m not saying you have to go out and join the Judo club [editor’s note: Everybody should go out and join the Judo club], but I encourage everyone to give the self-defense seminar. You’ve got nothing to lose, and I guarantee you’ll have a blast. Whatever your reason for learning selfdefense, it’s a good one. Being able to handle a worst-case scenario is a great life skill and could mean the difference between life and death for some. This might sound dramatic, but as the saying goes: “Better safe than sorry.”

Unfortunately, this rubbed people the wrong way. None of us are perfect, but none of us also want to admit that fact. Despite someone coming up to us and offering constructive criticism, a lot of us interpret their intentions as snobby or condescending. But why can’t we take criticism well? Yes, I know it sucks being told something’s not good, but life is constantly a series of trial and error, and quite frankly,
sometimes we need to know when we suck. I think it starts with this mentality that anyone can do anything if they just believe in themselves. While sure, someone with no legs can run a marathon and a blind person can be an astronaut; most times no one wants to put out the extra effort to develop the skill. Just having an interest in something doesn’t mean you’ll be good at it. And I’m not against pursuing something, but don’t show up on my doorstep expecting praise for your singing when you sound like a cat being drowned in acid. There are two things: One, we’re being coddled. Since birth, we’ve been expected to just grin and bear it when someone asks what you think of their whatever. I mean, why ask someone what they think if you’re
just going to get offended by their comments anyway? Now don’t think I’m advocating being mean for the sake of being mean, but if you have something you think could better their endeavor, then by all means say it. And if someone is giving you advice, at least pay attention and consider it. Hey, I’ll admit I suck at things. I am beyond terrible at math and sports. And that’s the second thing, we need to realize to always be open for improvement. Even the smartest guy ever could use a tip on something in his life. They’re not personal attacks, just ways to make us the best we can be. In a way, it’s actually beneficial for you because your thing will be better, thus making you better. We live in a society where, for lack of a better phrase, the sucky get suckier. People heckle judges
like Simon Cowell for being too harsh, but I think some harshness is what people need. Not only in a constructive sense, but as a way of keeping people grounded and down to Earth. It’s fine if you’re doing something as a hobby, but if you want to improve and be considered truly great, then you have to be open to constructive criticism. No one got to where they are today by simply listening to themselves. You don’t have to compromise yourself or your vision, just be open to new ideas. I know it’s tough growing up with praise in high school, from your parents, and then coming to college and being surrounded by people who might be better at something than you are. But don’t think they’re out to get you. And don’t confuse criticism for condescension.

“ Networks’ 4G claims misleading Comments By Heath.Verhasselt iowastatedaily.com
In response to Sarah Tisinger’s Feb. 15 column, “Take Back the Day�:
Verizon’s Long Term Evolution explained
M
any of you have seen the TV commercials for our nation’s cell phone carriers, all advertising their new 4G networks. There’s a Verizon one with a guy almost getting struck by lighting due to how fast Verizon’s 4G network was. Although entertaining, what stood out to me was the claim they made: You can stream Netix in HD over their 4G wireless network. I have a smartphone, it has 3G and WiďŹ , and I’ve always taken 3G for what it was and never really had a reason to ask for more. But HD Netix over a cell phone network? This deďŹ nitely deserved a second look. And what I found was a labyrinth of explanations of how each 4G network functions on each carrier, the variations of speed, the plans, as well as what areas of the country were covered and which were not. And what was even more saddening was consumer awareness of what 4G was and wasn’t. I talked with my roommate about possibly writing this article and what followed was a 20-minute conversation about what 4G was and wasn’t. Turns out we were both confused. So what is 4G? Is that the speed? Is it some new phone? Is it a new technology, or is it just the next type of wireless? And the answer is actually the latter two, kind of. The International Telecommunication Union said “4G stands for the fourth generation of cellular wireless standards. It is a successor to 3G and 2G families of standards. Speed requirements for 4G service set the peak download

James Sampica “An otherwise wonderful column ruined by the fact that it addresses only females. Too bad. We all face inadequacy and sadness. If this is really a call to arms for this generation (not just 50% of it) to stand up and make a paradigm shift, we all have to do it together.�

speed at 100 Mbit/s for high mobility communication — such as from trains and cars — and 1 Gbit/s for low mobility communication — such as pedestrians and stationary users.� That makes perfect sense to me, 4G is a wireless standard, and of that standard there are several different types of wireless that qualify. You may have heard of Wimax, but the most notable is LTE — Verizon’s Long Term Evolution. LTE is a very fast wireless standard, but is it fast enough? 4G offers 1Gbit/s peak download. The Verizon 4G LTE speed: about 100Mbit/s. These of course might be random numbers to you — they are even
pretty boring to me. Seriously, load up the Wikipedia article on 4G and you’ll want to leave before the page loads — but what these numbers mean is that the cell phone ads are lying to you. They are offering you what is actually, and somewhat comically I might add, 3.9G speed on your phone that claims it’s picking up 4G. How can they get away with this? Is this even a problem? They can get away with it because they are selling you what they say they are. LTE is Verizon’s fourth-generation network, and are marketing it as such, regardless of whether or not it falls within ITU guidelines. So, technicalities aside, is this
actually a problem? No not really. But is this just another attempt by a large company to confuse consumers about technology? More than likely. People have a hard enough time keeping up with how fast things are changing, now they need to read wireless internet standards before buying their cell phones? Technology is complicated, and it really doesn’t need to be that way. Hopefully someday electronics retailers will ďŹ nd it in their hearts to tell people the truth about what they need and what they don’t. But then again, that wouldn’t be as proďŹ table as confusion has been for the last 15 years.

Congress: Out with politicians and in with engineers Our political system is awed. I know it. You know it. We all know it. And there are a lot of theories as to why; none of which, I feel, actually strike the heart of the matter. Probably because the people suggesting the theories don’t want to point the ďŹ nger at themselves. The heart of the problem with our political system is the fact we let politicians run it. Let’s look just for a second at only Congress. Congress has 541 elected officials from 50 states. In their biographies only 127 of them were able to list a previous profession
other than previous political work; including but not limited to doctors, ordained ministers, policemen, three physicists, six accountants, an astronaut, a former NFL football player, two vintners, a cosmetic sales woman, a mountain guide, a ski instructor, a furniture salesman, a shellďŹ sh specialist, and a riverboat captain. That means that in Congress, for every three people with a previous career outside of politics there are more than 17 who have only ever worked in public service. There is a distinct reason

frequently neglects to come to work or call-In, cannot stay within budget, hypocritical and egotistical. But their bosses say nothing. We say nothing.

Big 12 departure raises queries Simonson out, Carr Jr. makes weight
Only 4 schools for wrestling division remain By Jake. Calhoun iowastatedaily.com Iowa State is heading into its final conference dual with Nebraska before the Cornhuskers make the jump from the Big 12 to the Big Ten next season. The departure of Nebraska will leave the Big 12 with only four schools competing in the sport of wrestling: Iowa State, Missouri, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. “Right now we’re working through the NCAA process relative to our options with the hope of being able to continue competing as a wrestling conference and staging a wrestling championship under the Big 12 banner with our current members,” said Bob Burda, associate commissioner in communications for the Big 12. The NCAA requires each conference to have at least six of its members competing in a given sport in order for the conference to officially host championship competitions for that sport. After Colorado dropped its wrestling program in the early 1980s, the Big 12 was left with five member-institutions for wrestling. The NCAA allowed the Big 12 to continue competing this

season as a five-team conference as an exception to the sixschool rule. As far as the future of Iowa State’s rivalry with Nebraska for wrestling, ISU coach Kevin Jackson said that it is still up in
the air. “We haven’t locked them in because I’m sure they’re in the same situation that we are,” Jackson said. “That’s something that has to be worked out. With 16
dates, that makes it very difficult to put a whole lot of people on your schedule.” However, due to the proximity of the two programs, Jackson said continuing the rivalry in the sport of wrestling
would make sense for both sides. Burda said the NCAA is expected to make an announcement on the future of the Big 12 in the sport of wrestling as late as the end of April.
ISU heavyweight Kyle Simonson sustained a back injury last week that prevented him from traveling with the team to Columbia, Mo., for its 23-11 dual loss against Missouri on Sunday. “On Friday we gave him the day off and on Saturday he came back and he was still real stiff,” Jackson said. “We just didn’t think it was wise to put him on a bus and drive him 5 hours to a match that he probably wouldn’t compete in.” Senior Kyle Slifka stepped up in his place, losing to No. 4 Dom Bradley in a 4-0 decision. “We thought the size, the strength, the athletic ability matched up with [Bradley],” Jackson said of Slifka. “And I think it did. He did represent himself and our team very, very well and gave himself a chance to win.” Nate Carr Jr. got the starting nod over Max Mayfield after making weight. Carr Jr. had been benched in favor of Mayfield after failing to make weight and underperforming in matches for which he did make weight. “We’re putting in steps that we’re going to eventually wrestle those guys off and make them make weight two, three days in a row,” Jackson said. “I have to find out right now if Nate has the ability to make the weight and compete.”

Ranked teams test Cyclones Hoiberg searches Young squad fights for backup center to end losing streak By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com As if a 23-point loss at Kansas and losing their starting center weren’t enough. Now, the Cyclones are stuck in the middle of a four-game stretch against ranked opponents that continues Wednesday night in College Station,Texas. Iowa State (14-11, 1-9) will take a seven-game losing streak to Reed Arena to take on No. 21 Texas A&M (19-5, 6-4). “They’re very sound, very solid,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg. “They don’t make mistakes. They don’t beat themselves.” The Aggies come as just another test for the Cyclones, who have dropped their last seven conference games and haven’t won since Jan. 15. Throughout that stretch, Iowa State has lost three games in which it had a lead with less than one minute to play, and three games by 23 points or more. “People can sit around and feel sorry for themselves if they want,” ISU guard Scott Christopherson said.

vs.
Texas A&M (19-5, 6-4) Where: Reed Center, College Station, Texas When: 7 p.m. Wednesday Media coverage: ESPN3 Cyclone Radio Network Notes: Iowa State is riding a seven-game losing streak. The Cyclones will be without starting center Jamie Vanderbeken, who suffered a sprained ankle in Saturday’s loss to Kansas and did not travel with the team.
“Guys come to practice with a good attitude. Personally, I’m asking what can I do to help this team get off this losing streak, because it’s not fun.” The team’s confidence has been downplayed by players and coaches alike, but confidence alone won’t help boost the ISU offense going against an Aggie defense rated No. 3 in the Big 12, only allowing 60.7 points per game. “Guys have been down because we’ve been losing so much,” freshman forward Melvin Ejim said, “but I don’t think it’s anything to worry about. Coach does a good job of keeping our spirits up.” Hoiberg’s team will get a boost Wednesday with the return of freshman Calvin Godfrey from a three-game suspension; but will take another hit with the loss of big man Jamie Vanderbeken, who suffered a sprained ankle in Saturday’s loss to Kansas. T h e loss of Vanderbeken leaves the shorthanded Cyclones even thinner on the front lines, a potential weakness against the Big 12’s fourth-leading rebounders. “If you hang your heads now, start feeling sorry for yourselves, things are going to get worse,” Hoiberg said. “If you t h i n k things can’t get worse, yo u’re
wrong.” After the matchup with Texas A&M, Iowa State returns home to face No. 20 Missouri before heading to Austin, Texas to face No. 2 Texas, although the Longhorns will likely be No. 1 after Kansas’ loss to Kansas State on Monday night. All is not lost for the young Cyclones, though. Last season, their final victory came on the road against No. 5 Kansas State after dropping eight of their previous nine matchups. “If you don’t go out there and continue to try to execute the game plan, continue to play physical and try to do the right things, it’s going to be an ugly finish to the season,” Hoiberg said.

Freshmen Godfrey, Railey, Ejim step up By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com
It’s not easy to replace a 6-foot-11inch Canadian. However, that’s exactly what ISU coach Fred Hoiberg will have to do with his big man, Jamie Vanderbeken, unable to play Wednesday night at Texas A&M. “[Vanderbeken]’s a guy that does a lot of unique things,” Hoiberg said. “He’s a big part of what we do offensively and to not have him in there will definitely change things.” Vanderbeken suffered a sprained ankle in Saturday’s 89-66 loss to then-No. 1 Jayhawks on Saturday at the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas. Hoiberg said Monday that the big man’s return “a longshot.” Tuesday, it was confirmed Vanderbeken didn’t make the trip to College Station. Without Vanderbeken, the Cyclones will be without the 11.3 points and 5.2 rebounds he’s averaged through the first 25 games; a big chunk for a team that will only have seven available regulars Wednesday night. Hoiberg said Vanderbeken will continue to receive treatment on the ankle leading up to Wednesday’s game, but it is uncertain how the injury would react. “We’re going to have some young guys that are going to have to step up,” said guard Scott Christopherson. “We’ll miss Jamie, but hopefully he’ll get back as soon as possible.” Among those young guys will be freshmen Jordan Railey and Calvin Godfrey. Godfrey will be playing in his first game since serving a three-game suspension for a violation of the team’s rules. Saturday against Kansas, with Vanderbeken out of the game, it wasn’t uncommon for Hoiberg switch up players and play smaller, four-guard lineups against the much

larger Jayhawks. “Outside we did some different things through a couple of different wrinkles and shot the ball very well,” Hoiberg said Monday. “Guys are going to have to step up and do some things that we haven’t done a lot of so far.” Forward Melvin Ejim — who stands at 6 feet, 6 inches — saw time as the Cyclone center Saturday, something that likely isn’t out of the question Wednesday. However, with Vanderbeken’s shooting touch missing — he’s shot 43.7 percent from behind the 3-point line this season — opposing defenders were much more likely to sag into the lane, changing the ISU offense. Saturday, Iowa State hit on 43.8 percent of its tries from 3-point range, but it wasn’t enough in the 23-point loss. “When you’ve got your center shooting threes, that brings their center out to the perimeter, which creates a lot of driving lanes for us,” said guard Jake Anderson. “Once he was out of the game, the driving lanes really closed up and we were forced to shoot a lot of threes and they didn’t fall our way.”

Crunch-time commences
Iowa State places second in classic
Eight days could determine NCAA tournament play By Kelsey.Jacobs iowastatedaily.com The Cyclones have hit the crunch-time of the season. The team is in the midst of a four-game run during eight days, the first of which was played against Kansas State on Sunday, which was an eightpoint ISU win. Next, Iowa State (17-7, 5-5 Big 12) will hit the road to take on Texas Tech on Wednesday, followed by a return home to Hilton to take on Colorado on Saturday and then Texas two days after that. “Right now it seems like back-to-back games,” said junior Chassidy Cole. “It just seems like one after another; they’re coming in so fast, and pretty soon it will be over.” Coach Bill Fennelly said he didn’t think he had ever done four games in eight days in the Big 12 and that it was an odd situation. However, with a Big 12 record of 5-5 this next stretch of games could be a determining factor for Iowa State’s chance in the NCAA tournament. “It’s fun to be tired and fun to be grouchy this way in February when you’re playing

to where they want to be.” In their win against Colorado, the Red Raiders forced 28 Buffalo turnovers, something Iowa State has struggled with in the past. “We’re going to have to do some things well, like take care of the ball,” Fennelly said. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday in Lubbock, Texas.

Cyclone hitters lead early play Team’s play results in ‘amazing’ start By Zach.Gourley iowastatedaily.com The ISU softball team scored a combined 62 runs in its first six games of the 2011 season at the Cyclone Indoor Invitational, ending with a 5-1 record. Last year, the team did not score that many runs until Feb. 21, when it was already 14 games into its schedule. “We have multiple people hitting over .500,” said coach Stacy Gemeinhardt-Cesler. “It’s just amazing.” Cyclone hitters abused opposing pitchers all weekend, combining for a team batting average of .423. Junior center fielder Heidi Kidwell showed why Gemeinhardt-Cesler selected her for the lead-off batting position. Kidwell was 13-of-22 at the plate on the weekend, highlighted by her 4-of-4 performance with three RBIs against South Dakota State, a Cyclone victory that ended in a 16-2 beatdown. Once reaching base, Kidwell seldom stayed put. She stole seven bases and scored a team-high 11 runs on the weekend. “We’re off to a great start. As long as I’ve been here, we’ve
never gotten off to this kind of start,” Kidwell said. “I’ve been really impressed with our team so far.” Batting second in the order is another junior, right-fielder Bianca Lopez. Lopez hit .692 this weekend with nine RBIs on nine hits, after recording just 17 hits all of last season. The offensive onslaught continued on down the order with Erica Miller and Tori Torrescano batting .421 and .524. Torrescano belted two home-runs on the weekend and added 12 RBIs. Junior Dalyn Varela also had a coming-out party in a 9-1 win over the Western Illinois Leathernecks. Varela went 3-of-3 at the plate with four RBIs and a home-run. “In practice we’ve been hitting really well and it’s just
good to see us continue it in games,” Varela said. Adding to the list of Cyclones who batted more than .400 were senior Carleigh Berry and freshman Sara Davison who hit .412 and .429, “I’ve been pitching against them in practice and I get frustrated because they hit so well,” pitcher Rachel Zabriskie said. “I knew it was going to transfer over to the game.” The Cyclone’s offense did sputter in the weekend finale, manufacturing just two runs on five hits in an 11-2 loss to Valparaiso. Gemeinhardt- Cesler pointed to signs of focus issues as the culprit. “We didn’t play well at all,” Gemeinhardt-Celser said. “We made a lot of mistakes and we didn’t hit like we had been.”

The Cyclones proved that they had lost no steam at the Lady Puerto Rico Classic this weekend, taking second place in the 17-team field in their first official tournament since November. Iowa State came into the weekend as the 26th-ranked team nationally. The tournament was close throughout and the Cyclones entered the final round Tuesday in second place. After an early surge in the round they took first place, but were unable to hold it. Alabama, the nation’s top-ranked team, secured first place after gaining a five-stroke lead on the Cyclones and finishing with a 875. The Cyclone’s final score of 880 was the team’s second best 54-hole performance of all time. Florida State took third ™

Experimental class evaluates dairy controversy By Devon.OBrien iowastatedaily.com A new experimental course at Iowa State forces students to look at various aspects of controversies within dairy production and consumption. The class, Food Science and Human Nutrition 208x Dairy Products: Current Issues and Controversies, was introduced this semester for the first time and is taught by Stephanie Clark, associate professor of food science and human nutrition, who conducts research on the quality of dairy products. Clark wanted to teach the course to help students learn “fact from fiction” and to teach them not to believe everything they read on the Internet; a lot of which deals with the question of whether the push for dairy consumption is as important as people have been taught. “People really have no sense of the true story, but they jump to a conclusion because they have bought into the garbage that is very prevalent on the Internet ... you can easily find websites that say milk is poison and it’s very disturbing because I don’t know where they get that,” Clark said. These and similar concerns are what the class is all about, Clark said. Class members find facts that support either side of the debate and decide for themselves their view of dairy. Personally, Clark said she is pro-dairy and promotes it for the nine essential nutrients it contains and for its flavor. But, being pro-dairy hasn’t always been easy for Clark. While working at Washington State University she was given a short radio clip in which she promoted dairy products and received a threatening e-mail. “I come across now and

again some people who even go to the point of threatening me ... I got an e-mail from someone who basically said, ‘you are promoting a dangerous thing ... how dare you promote this poison ... you better lock your doors on campus because you might be sabotaged,’” Clark said. Babu Chinnasamy, graduate in food science and human nutrition, is assisting with dairy research and is currently enrolled in the FSHN 208x class this semester. He said that he enrolled in the experimental course to find out if what he believes about dairy is true and to be able to learn how to judge what are reliable sources of information. Chinnasamy is pro-dairy, but is taking this course to learn more about the controversies surrounding dairy products and to make sure he is “doing the right thing.” “The reason to believe [dairy is beneficial] would be because people talk a lot about life cell diseases ... they say it’s because of milk,” Chinnasamy said. “I find that unbelievable because we have been drinking milk, as humans, for such a long period of time and the increasing incidence has been 50 years ... or maybe 100 years back.” The students not only research and debate certain dairy controversies, but they also get to hear from dairy professionals across the nation. This is made possible from money given to the class through the College of Human Sciences’ Innovative Teaching Grant. Clark plans to continue teaching this course in spring 2012 and encourages students of any age and major to take the course. She hopes to get the class off of the experimental course list and even apply for ethics credits in the future.
as an alternate source of electricity. “I evolved from using that generator charger battery system into supplementing it then with solar panels to the point where now I’ve got about 500 watts of solar panels up there,” Maurer said. His next project will be implementing solar electric panels to his home in Ames this summer. Currently, Maurer has been monitoring the solar thermal panels attached to storage buildings for Ames Engineering Inc., providing a constant source of insulation. Each panel costs $11,000 and are constructed with strong glass, designed to withstand one-and-a-quarter-inch hail. Sunlight passes through the panel, inside that panel are absorber plates, and attached to the absorber plates are vertical pipes that go from top to bottom. There is a mantle fold at the bottom where the fluid arrives, distributing it equally to each vertical pipe, Maurer said. “As the fluid moves upward through [the absorber plates], it is heated by the sun that has gone through the glass and is striking these absorber plates, heating the pipe where the fluid is rising in. Across the top from the inside, there’s another pipe where all the fluids go into and where the heated water is piped back into the building,” Maurer said. Inside the storage building is plastic piping buried in the concrete where heated water is pumped beneath the floors for insulation. Maurer has a webcam implemented to constantly monitor how much heat is being generated via the solar panels. There he can monitor the temperature of the water being stored and the number of times the pump has cycled since Maurer turned on the pump. “It’s a real simple system; it’s going to give me a good idea of what the performance in Iowa of those panels are because there’s no other real heat being generated in this building,” Maurer said. Maurer said that by this fall, he’ll try to absorb as much solar energy into the floors as possible in hopes to gain a warmer consistency in room temperature for the following winter. But Maurer has other objectives in mind, such as the construction of a sustainable apartment complex in Ames, incorporating both solar thermal and electric panels. “It’s expensive to [implement solar panels] when you think about investing money in it, whether or not there’s any payback,” he said.

electric services for the Ames Power Plant, is concerned about the cost of implementing these panels. “Solar is still a much more expensive choice for electric generation. It still does not compete well with nuclear- or coalfired, gas-fired or oil-fired generation,” Trower said. “We just do not have the sun angle and the sun intensity here to make [solar energy] competitive yet and it’s considerably expensive.” The Ames Power Plant runs on coaland refuse-derived fuel, a fuel supplement derived from collected trash. “The curb-side trash in all of Story County by contract comes to our recycling facility here in Ames and then they process it into refuse-derived fuel and then that’s injected into the boiler and that’s a supplement of fuel,” Trower said. The Ames Power Plant generates electricity for close to 9 cents per kilowatt
diversity statements from four universities to focus groups at the Iowa State Conference On Race and Ethnicity (ISCORE) in March 2010 to get a feeling for the current expectations for a definition of diversity. “A lot of the feedback is that people are trying to move away from ... I’m going to call them laundry lists,” Geske said. “We’re trying to move away from that a little bit and more to the idea that the whole concept of diversity is that everyone has individual talents
hour for an Ames resident. On the other hand, if the same amount of electricity was generated from solar energy, it could cost an Ames resident up to 16 cents per kilowatt hour. However, Dalal argued that solar energy’s potential is only in its infancy as opposed to coal and nuclear energy which has been around much longer. “The technology is evolving,” Dalal said. “We can design solar panels and provide both electricity and heat at the same time. [Iowans] need a lot more energy for heat than they require for electricity because [Iowans] have these very harsh winters. One can design solar panels so that in the winter, it produces more heat and less electricity and in the summer, more electricity and less heat.” Maurer said he will continue to work with solar energy, since it has great potential but is not cost-competitive.
and abilities that they bring to the table.” Iowa State’s current statement was in the set presented at the 2010 ISCORE and was one of the favored in the set of four. The other three universities were Kent State University, Ohio State University and the University of Oregon. “I think the feedback we got on our current statement from the focus groups was quite positive,” Geske said. The diversity statement has not been

officially approved and cannot yet be released to the public. Geske said the initial presentation of the new definition did not receive the positive reaction they had hoped for. The committee is still looking for a list of what is included in the word “diversity.” “The more diversity you have, the better your chances are for creative solutions to problems,” Geske said. The committee is keeping in mind that the statement should not be too narrow or too broad. A few of the statements from other universities were not perceived well in the focus groups at ISCORE due to the fact that there was hardly a definition of the word diversity at all, but instead they generalized it as “human differences.” Kent State University’s diversity statement presented a broad definition: “Diversity involves recognizing the value of differences and the inclusion of all members of the community including those that experience discrimination or under representation.” “We’re hoping that the new definition will be in effect by the end of this school year,” Geske said.
