An education on eating

ISU worker killed in Ames car crash

Awareness Week pushes students to accept selves

By Kaitlin.York iowastatedaily.com

By Lea.Petersen iowastatedaily.com Monday marks the beginning of Eating Disorder Awareness Week at Iowa State. With various activities offered every day for students to attend and participate in, Michelle Roling, certified eating disorder specialist at Iowa State, said she hopes students can become more involved in the fight to “be comfortable in your genes.” “Students at Iowa State are really fortunate to have a strong [eating disorder] treatment center here on campus,” Roling said. “Iowa State ranks in the top of the nation regarding the many services we offer students struggling with food and body concerns.” Eating disorders can be categorized into four different groups — anorexia, bulimia nervosa, binge eating and disordered eating. Anorexia is characterized by extreme fear of getting or being fat. It includes starving oneself and avoiding situations with food, while still viewing oneself as overweight. For women, three missed menstrual cycles is another indicator of the eating disorder. Bulimia nervosa is defined as binging at least twice a week past the point of feeling full and then purging by either inducing vomit, excessive exercise or inappropriate use of laxatives. Binge eating includes eating large amounts of food in

Drawing the line between being sick and being thin

Campus services teach about the reality of eating disorders

By Bridget Hart Special to the Daily

By Erin.Coppock iowastatedaily.com

Imagine that the mere sight of food repulses you and every bite has a number etched into it. That number grows bigger the more bites you take, and the more bites you take, the more sickening it becomes. You want to be perfect. You want to be thin. And each bite is taking you further from your goal. I recently became obsessed with eating disorders after my best friend, who lives two states away, called me in tears saying she had a problem. Her sister had posted some pictures on Facebook from the family’s trip to Paris. In those pictures, my

This week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, sponsored by the National Eating Disorders Association and is recognized worldwide. Michelle Roling, Student Counseling Services counselor specializing in eating disorders, works in conjunction with fellow eating disorder counselor Erin Pederson to organize events that raise awareness on and educate people about the disease. “Eating disorders can affect all aspects of a person’s life. It can complicate their relationships, affect their academics and override their self-esteem,” Roling said. “It can also cause anxiety and can trigger

Student organization

About 11.4 million Americans were expected to die of some sort of cancer in 2010 alone, according to the American Cancer Society. This means about 1,500 people’s lives are taken by cancer every day. ISU Colleges Against Cancer is a student organization dedicated to raising awareness as well as money for cancer research. Every year they work hand-in-hand with the American Cancer Society to hold events and get students involved in the ﬁght against cancer. Students involved in Colleges Against Cancer become involved for various reasons. Some have family members who have fought cancer, while others are merely aware of its presence and want to do whatever they can to help ﬁnd cures. “We have a very wide range of members who are in our club,” said Michael Tosney, junior in marketing and co-president of Colleges Against Cancer. “They come from all of the different colleges here on campus. Some people want to be very involved and can run for leadership roles, while others want to be involved in a lower level and help out at the events and in any way possible.” Tosney became involved with Colleges Against Cancer after his grandmother was diagnosed with cancer. “My grandmother had been struggling with cancer, and I felt like it was a good way to get involved and meet more people on campus while serving a great purpose to the community,” Tosney said. Ashley Yingst, senior in genetics, joined

By Nicole.Wiegand iowastatedaily.com The scene in the College of Design’s atrium Friday morning looked as if it had been taken straight from a child’s dream — and a very sweet one at that The 11 tables, typically packed with students diligently working on studio projects, were instead covered in more than 1,500 cupcakes, and for no apparent reason, it seemed. Little did students know that what appeared to be an explosion of sugar, frosting and sprinkles was actually part of a class project. Anna Snider, senior in architecture, said the display of cupcakes was the culmination of a project for her “TOYS! Studio” course. The assignment directed the 14 students in the studio to plan an event within the College of Design that allowed for student participation but needn’t necessarily integrate toys. “I believe the goal was to make the project as ambiguous as possible to allow us to formulate ideas without the constraints of an actual, traditional assignment,” Snider said. “We began with the idea of

Amy Rogers, budget analyst for the graduate college, died in a car accident Thursday. Rogers was a passenger in the vehicle driven by Jeffrey Michael Clendenen, 42, of Ames. Clendenen and Rogers were driving northbound on 500th Avenue when Clendenen failed to stop at a stop sign. Another vehicle, driven by Richard Keith Diltz, 62 of Madrid, struck Clendenen’s Ford F250 on the passenger side while heading westbound on 270th. The driver of the vehicle that hit them was transported by lifeﬂight to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines and was injured, according to the crash reports from Iowa State Patrol. A seatbelt was worn at the time of the accident. Rogers and Clendenen were ground transported to Mary Greeley Medical Center. Clendenen was injured. Seatbelts for both passengers were worn. Roger’s job at the university included managing and providing ﬁscal support to the deans of the graduate college. She provided oversight of the Professional Advancement Grants and the Graduate and Professional Student Senate. Rogers was also the wife to Marc Rogers, assistant hockey coach. “Amy was a very warm, fun-loving person and a mother to two children who she was very dedicated to,” said William Graves, associate dean of the graduate college. “She was respectful and quiet, yet very outgoing.” The graduate college’s staff is shocked at the loss of its co-worker, Graves said.

Celebrity News Notes and events. Dina Lohan: Lindsay gave advice to Charlie Sheen

Correction In an article that appeared in Friday’s paper, it was stated that Ruth Glock, assistant professor in apparel, education and hospitality management died Wednesday. Glock passed away Feb. 9. The Daily regrets this error.

In a recent radio interview, Charlie Sheen offered advice to fellow troubled star Lindsay Lohan, telling her to work on her impulse control and think before she acts. Now the actress’s mother, Dina Lohan, has a few words to say about her daughter and Sheen as well. “He’s 40-odd years old and Lindsay’s 24,” Dina said Friday morning, adding that she doesn’t understand why people constantly draw comparisons

And that advice? “Just get help.”

Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ makes iTunes history Lady Gaga has made history with her latest single.

JWoww conﬁrms: I have a nude video JWoww shares the limelight with her cast mates on MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” but it appears she has a starring role in another project, thanks to her ex-boyfriend. JWoww said that, in addition to the nude photos that her ex Tom Lippolis was allegedly shopping, he has a video of the reality star. “It’s not like me posing or how girls send pictures....texting. These are sleeping or things like that.”

She said her ex ﬁlmed her while she was sleeping in the nude in February 2010. “This was only six months into our relationship before we even broke up,” she said. “It makes me think, did he have it kind of, like, planned?”

Esperanza Spalding talks Justin Bieber Jazz singer Esperanza Spalding, who raised the ire of Bieber fans when she beat him out for the best new artist Grammy, tells Billboard magazine that much like the 16-year-old Canada native, she has very humble beginnings. “He has sort of a similar story to mine, coming from a singleparent family, low income, sort of having this stellar ascension in making his success through music,” she said.

>>CUPCAKES.p1A to learn.” But how exactly does one come up with 1,500 cupcakes overnight? Snider said the students made arrangements with HyVee to use their commercial kitchens to bake around 1,100 of the cupcakes Thursday night. The remainder of the treats were donated by Hy-Vee and Yummy’s Cupcake Emporium. When asked about the aspirations of the project, Snider said the intent was to observe what types of student reaction the cupcake display would elicit. “Part of the project was to see how students would react to the tables being covered with cupcakes since they can’t really sit down and work with them sitting there,” Snider said. “Would they move? Would they eat them? Would they sit on the floor, or maybe just move to another space?” In order to help document student response over the course of the day, the atrium was filmed from various locations on the third floor from the time the cupcakes were placed on the tables around 6 a.m. until they had all been eaten. “At first there was more of a solemn reaction to the setup and a sort of respect for the cupcakes,” said Snider, noting that not many were initially taken from the tables in the morning. “I think a few students were even wondering if the cupcakes were part of an art installation,” Snider said. As the day progressed,

>>CAC.p1A Colleges Against Cancer to become more involved with her major. “As a genetics major, I’m very interested in medicine, diseases and am looking into a profession doing clinical studies and cancer research,” Yingst said. “I thought joining [Colleges Against Cancer] would be a good ﬁrst step.” Colleges Against Cancer works throughout the year to set up fundraising events for cancer. Every October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the organization hosts Bowling for Boobs, an event held at the Memorial Union Underground. Sunday, Colleges Against Cancer held “Protect Your Balls,” an annual dodgeball tournament dedicated to raising awareness for victims of testicular and prostate cancer. Students could pay $10 per person and sign up in teams of six people to participate. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer death in men, with only lung cancer topping it. In 2010, approximately 32,050 men were expected to die of prostate cancer, according to statistics provided by the American Cancer Society The Great American Smokeout is another event held by Colleges Against Cancer to help raise awareness for a common disease, lung cancer. “This event raises awareness on lung cancer and the effects smoking and chewing has on your health,” Yingst

however, the cupcakes began to disappear at a much faster rate. Many students nonchalantly grabbed a cupcake or two as a part of their lunch while passing by. Two more ambitious students walked off with more than a dozen cupcakes precariously balanced in sandwich trays from the nearby Design Cafe. Seth Dreier, a landscape designer from Chicago recruiting for the College of Design’s Career Days event, was among those confused about the abundance of baked goods in the atrium. “It looks like Little Debbie just went to town in here,” Dreier said. “Two people have actually asked if they could take one from our table,” he said. Despite the fact that Dreier had noticed the video cameras above and was a bit suspicious as to what was going on, he was not deterred. “Of course, I still plan on having one for dessert,” Dreier said. Leah Willadsen, senior in graphic design and advertising, said she didn’t know what to think at ﬁrst either. “My initial reaction was that there was an event I wasn’t aware of, so I left them alone,” Willadsen said. “Then a classmate came in with a cupcake, which led to our entire class deciding to go get some. “Design students were posting all day about free cupcakes in the College of Design, and that they made their day. No one had any idea what they were for but loved the idea of free food,” Willadsen said.

Around 1 p.m., however, the cause for the seemingly random display of cupcakes became a little more clear. Students from the TOYS! Studio, including Snider, dropped stacks of fliers from the fifth-floor balcony proclaiming “You got caked!” flanked by an image of a cupcake as well as the sponsors’ logos. After all the cupcakes had been eaten and the project had concluded, Snider described it as a success. “I think we were impressed with the response — that we were able to complete the project how we had imagined, that all the cupcakes got eaten and that it was as fun and exciting for all people involved, us the creators and the College of Design participants,” Snider said. Squire said he also enjoyed watching the project unfold. “What I liked most about the project were the microcommunities that it helped form and how these extended well beyond the walls of the college,” Squire said. “My daughter at the University of Iowa sent an e-mail that said she saw an accounting student’s Facebook status that read, ‘omg free cupcake Friday WOOOO design ppl are SWEET.’” However, it was a comment from within the college that helped drive the effect of the assignment home for Squire. “When a staff member from the college’s business office came up to me, introduced herself and said the students truly made her day, I knew the work was a success,” Squire said.

said. “We distribute bags ﬁlled with pamphlets, stress balls and gum in exchange for someone’s cigarettes or chew.” Perhaps the organization’s biggest event is the popular Relay for Life. This event, held in March, brings more than 1,800 people from both Iowa State and the Ames community together not only to raise money for cancer research, but also to celebrate the lives of survivors and the remembrance of those taken by cancer. The ISU Relay for Life typically raises more than $100,000, all of which goes directly to the American Cancer Society. Because cancer is such a common point of interest for so many, it usually doesn’t take long for people to become members. “Chances are, in your lifetime you will be affected by cancer, or know someone who will be affected by it,” Yingst said. “This is serious. It’s a big deal. We’re talking about people’s lives here. Cancer is painful physically and emotionally; it’s deadly and doesn’t discriminate. Look at a group of your closest friends. One or more of you will likely suffer from some type of cancer in your lifetime. Why not join a movement to help decrease that chance? Save a few lives? It’s about helping others who can’t help themselves. Personally, I’m big on being a team player, giving back to others and helping those who can’t help themselves. Being a part of [Colleges Against Cancer] gives me the opportunity to do just that. I’m

not talking about just in little old Ames, Iowa. I’m talking about the world.”

depression in a lot of people. Along with the psychological effects, every eating disorder, whether it is anorexia, bulimia or binge eating, also has severe health effects.” The most common misconception about eating disorders and body type in general is that anyone can automatically identify an individual’s relationship with food and exercise by their body type. Someone who has a large body type may be struggling with excessive exercise and restriction of food and someone who is small may have problems with binge eating. The trick to understanding eating disorders is to learn the difference between disordered eating and an eating disorder itself. “Disordered eating is when an individual has a challenging relationship with food, body image and/or exercise. Eating disorders are when those challenges start to get to a level where it affects the person’s life and health,” Roling said. “There is no one single cause for eating disorders for an individual.” Eating disorders are a medical disease.

It is never too early to receive assistance and it is never too late to recover,” Roling said.

ISU Dining’s Fill in the Blank!

Mystery teasers are little stories where you need to ﬁgure out what happened based on the given clues.

Bug on the Plate A man was eating at a restaurant. When his food came, his waitress told him that they had run out of their usual fancy dinner plates and had to serve him their only plain dish. The man did not object, but there was a bug on his food. His waitress took it away and said she would bring him a new plate with new food. When she came back the man knew she had only tossed off the bug. How? - www.braingle.com Answer His waitress had told him she served him their only plain dish. When she brought his “new food”, it was on the same dish.

Sunday Burglary A couple that owned a mansion came home from church to find that their safe had been robbed. They gathered all of their hired services for questioning. The cook was questioned first and she said that she was busy preparing the Sunday dinner. Next was the butler but he said that he was setting the table for the Sunday dinner. Then they questioned the maid and her excuse was that she had been cleaning the dining room along with the butler. So they moved on and asked the groundskeeper and he stated that after finishing the pruning he went out to get the mail. The couple, stumped by the reasonable alibis soon found that they had the answer. Who was it?

Answer The cook’s alibi is reasonable because usually the Sunday dinner is eaten early and if you’re a churchgoer then you should know that church lets out on Sunday about noon. The butler and maid are innocent because they mention working together in the same room yet they are questioned separately so they are truthful. If you know your stuff then you should know that the mail doesn’t come on Sunday. The groundskeeper is guilty.

Editorial

Support global reform A privilege of growing up in America is the Democratic sensibilities instilled in each of us. We’re taught that true governance cannot be accomplished by one man, that every voice, whether big or small, from every corner, should be heard. In fact, we are accustomed to the luxury of our personal freedoms, which have been a work-in-progress here in the United States for the last two-and-a-half centuries. Lately, our protests have amounted to calls for reform and pragmatism. Thus, the true brevity of the history unfolding on the other side of the world escapes us. The actions of those in the Middle East are far greater, harkening back to times when our hodgepodge of colonies and settlements were in the inception stages. People with guns living in conditions you and I would compare to a poorly planned camping trip in the desert are making pilgrimages en masse to the nearest population center and demanding they be heard. The demand is reasonable and a necessity of our human condition: the freedom to decide. America and its citizens should support those with visions of democracy emphatically, wherever they are.

Life

Fear, loathing the aftermath By Gabriel.Stoffa iowastatedaily.com

Remember, celebrate Hunter S. Thopson’s life, work, legacy

“W

hen I die and they lay me to rest, Gonna go to the place that’s the best, When I lay me down to die, Goin’ up to the spirit in the sky” — Norman Greenbaum Sunday, Feb. 20, 2011 marked the sixth year since Hunter S. Thompson committed suicide. Nothing spectacular compared to the wild insurgency in the Middle East and elsewhere, but for those with the mad desire to still find truth instead of the filtered unreality the media provides us with because we demand it to be no other way, the anniversary of Hunter’s death is a reminder to not become complacent. It is a reminder to not remain so feverishly addicted to the ideas fed to us by those in power. It is a reminder to not let the poetry of words and the art of informing to be diluted by the celebrity hacks and model faces babbling about inane fashion and stylish causes their bubble-heads think make a difference. Most importantly, the anniversary of Hunter’s death is a reminder to fight, tooth and nail, for a better world of devoted leaders instead of allowing the jabbering slime busy destroying the Constitution in order to appease a bunch of ill-informed Americans come to power and destroy any hope of making a better world. I first learned about Hunter in 1997 when I heard about a new film in the works: “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.” I was fascinated by the main character and wanted to know if this was someone I could look to and learn from as I grew up, or if it was just another sensationalist figure from history. Finding his books and reading any piece of work I could get my hands on, my eyes were opened to the notion that any profession could be turned into the rockstar lifestyle I had dreamed of since I first found that fleeting rush of excitement when a group of people applaud you for your efforts. I now had a pattern to look to for inspiration as I discovered who

I was and how I should continue confronting authority; taking nothing at face value and allowing no one to ever dictate to me what I should or shoud not do. The teenagers to college kids of today do not, for the most part, know who Hunter was, apart from perhaps a character played by Hunter’s compatriot, Johnny Depp in a movie about drugs. It is almost criminal that a man of Hunter’s stature should not be embraced by the young generation today. The pacing and lifestyle youth so embrace is a comical attempt at the rebellious persona of Hunter. Hunter became bound by the exaggerated personality the media made him out to be; he saw what people thought he was and would act in a way even more exaggerated so as to further fashion the myth, the legacy he knew his life’s work would leave. Youth today are wrapped up in the same sort of destructive influ-

ence to live up to what the media makes them out to be, while still striving to find themselves and discover a way to make a difference. Hunter’s near-accidental creation of “gonzo journalism” is now the perfect representation of how youth today communicate. Hunter’s gonzo style of reporting inserted himself into the story, becoming a main character while still observing; participating instead of seeking to remain merely objective from ringside. Youth today share their every action, from what they had for breakfast to their feelings about an important issue. Their absorbtion of information demands a personable feel that is rarely fully achieved because the illusions the various industries make for public consumption are pieced together not from the reality of the event, but from the interpretation believed to be more marketable to the viewers. Thanks to the marvelous and

frightening advances technology has made to the way we live, gono journalism is essesnitally an everyday thing. Every man, woman and child is now a reporter wiith Twittter, Facebook and blogs dissiminating information with personal twists and insights sometimes trivial and unfounded, and sometimes moving and informed. For now, never mind the parallels between Hunter’s methods and today’s youth, focus for a moment back on the influence Hunter had on history. Hunter’s coverage of politics, and wild use of drugs and alcohol while in the field, through his use of fiction and fact laid the groundwork for how to entertain while still informing. His words were one of those rare times when a writer captured the feelings of people without pandering to any preconcieved notion of rules or properness. He was and will remain as one of the greatest journalist in history, not just because what he covered was important, but because of the way it drew people in and held their interest. Though Hunter used drugs and alcohol to an unhealthy degree, the methods of the brilliant rarely conform to the standards of the majority. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Many things he did were illegal, but he was not harming others — not greatly at least — with his actions and constantly strove to take the corrupt out of the positions of power they so often hold. Somewhere in writing this my train of thought has derailed. I cannot continue on right now without falling into a rut of rhetoric. This may be due to the way I celebrate Hunter’s life every year on the day of his suicide by indulging my senses after some of the many ways in which he did. I will close then by reiterating my point: Hunter S. Thompson is a hero to me. He influenced my life in ways I may never fully comprehend. I want others to recognize who he was and learn from the genius his work provided. I want everyone to see the world for what it is and be a part of shaping it, rather than sitting back and not involving themselves madly and fully. Res ipsa loquitur.

Technology

Digital protection turns consumers into criminals By Rick.Hanton iowastatedaily.com

Media corporations should trust customers

here has been a variety of news in technology circles in recent weeks about the case Sony is making against a hacker (or if that has a bad connotation for you, tinkerer) who figured out how to “jailbreak” the Play Station 3. All 21-year-old George Hotz wanted to do was to use the OtherOS feature to run Linux on his PS3 hardware, something Sony disabled last year. But now Sony is coming after him with a squadron of lawyers and guns blazing because in modifying his PS3, Hotz possibly provided users with a way to violate the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act), designed to legally protect the encryption Sony uses on their Play Station disks (Hotz contests this). In a similar scenario, let’s say last weekend you went out to the store and decided to buy a copy of “The Social Network” now that it is out on DVD and Blu-Ray. You take it home, but eventually start worrying that the dog or the baby might start using the disk either as a Frisbee or a chew-toy. You decide you want a backup of the movie for safekeeping, just like that pile of MP3s on your computer from your CD collection. Once again you are faced with digital encryption on the disk that prevents you from simply copy-pasting the content. Now if you figure out how to download some simple software from the net to circumvent the encryption and back up your movie, you just became a movie pirate. Now, you may think that doing things like this isn’t illegal. Heck, they decided before I was born (1984 - Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.) that making your own copy of your favorite TV show episode on a tape is okay thanks

to “fair use” principles, so why not movie or video game disks? Well, after doing some research, you may notice that in general, the same principles don’t necessarily apply to other media. I think a lot of people do believe that it is fair to allow consumers to make a backup copy of media for their own personal use or to use hardware that they have purchased in whatever way they want, but there is technically no provision for that in fair-use law or in court decisions (note the “Citation needed” where Wikipedia says you can make backups of your movie disks). For me, as a college student, I live in a small dorm room and also tend to move around a lot (I’ve had 8+ addresses in the last 5 years) as I change rooms on campus and go back and forth to internships. This means that I really didn’t want to be hauling my very large DVD collection around with me as I move. What I’d like to do is be able to keep a copy of my movies stored on my computer hard drive or on my iPod while the disks themselves stay back home in Minnesota. Sadly, I am not allowed to do this, not because the technology doesn’t exist, but because the movie companies’ fear of illicit mass-produced copies drives them to treat me, their end-customer, as a potential criminal. Technically, ripping a disk to make a backup of its contents is illegal if it is protected by encryption software put there by the copyright owner (all Hollywood movies have this encryption), according to the DMCA, though I question whether it should be illegal for consumers to view their media the way that they want to. I understand it is illegal to make copies of movie DVDs or BluRay Disks to distribute to friends or family who haven’t paid for the movie or to rip a copy of disks from Netflix to keep for personal use. But should it

Sony’s move to remove software functionality that they sold to consumers was questionable and unprecedented in the electronics industry.”

be illegal to keep one backup copy of media you own just in case someone steps on the disk, the dog chews it up or it gets melted in a fire? Should you be required to always use the actual disk when you watch a movie? I don’t think so. When they were released a few years ago, HD-DVDs and Blu-Ray disks started to use a newer, more difficult to crack brand of encryption to stop movie pirates from copying the disks. But, within a year committed movie geeks (or pirates or hackers if you prefer) found the hidden code on the disks that would unlock the encryption (it was 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 if you were wondering). The studios’ system is smart and lets them replace the code if it is found, but each time a new code has been used, it is simply located and the movie ripping continues. In Hotz’s case, his use of a similar encryption code to unlock the PS3 has caused Sony to attempt to muzzle

him because of the possibility of his hack being used to allow the copying of PS3 games. Notably, Hotz has said that he expressly didn’t want to allow users to break the disk encryption; he just wanted to get back the functionality that Sony needlessly removed from the PS3 last year. Sony’s move to remove software functionality that they sold to consumers was questionable and unprecedented in the electronics industry. Personally, I support George’s efforts, because I hesitate to get a new PS3 without the Linuxrunning, protein-folding features that originally piqued my interest in that console. As consumers, we are witness to an expensive and ever-increasing arms war between media companies who have legitimate reasons to protect their content. A good portion of the cost of a DVD, Blu-Ray disk, or PS3 game is for the setup and licensing of the CSS or AACS encryption that is required

to be used on commercial disks. The only reason these encryption schemes exist is to prevent the disks from being copied by unauthorized publishers, but because they have always been cracked, they seem to have little real value and only cause a useless increase in the cost of media and decrease in consumer value (because the media can’t be copied or backed up). To some extent it all boils down to trust. If you were the media corporations, do you decide to trust consumers with their content and spend your money to ensure that police find and detain those that create large quantities of illegal commercial copies of media? Or do you treat everyone as a criminal, add an expensive barbedwire barricade around your product when you sell it to customers, and then brutally attack anyone who gets through the fences? I’m not sure there’s a perfect answer, but as a consumer I dislike the extra cost and hindrance that digital protection adds to DVDs, Blu-Ray disks and video games. It makes me a criminal for simply enjoying a movie the way I want to enjoy it, when the real criminals are the groups overseas that create illegal batches of disks by the millions to sell on the black market.

Budget

Editorial Cartoon | Aaron Hewitt, Iowa State Daily

Level heads absent in Wisconsin, Washington By Brandon.Blue iowastatedaily.com

Lawmakers’ attempts to cut spending are too extreme

runch time, America. Do we keep living like the kings we think we are, or do we rein in the lavish spending? If a governor in Wisconsin wants public employees to chip in and begin paying for their benefits, is that frugality or an “assault on unions?” President Obama thinks the latter. And consistent with his party’s herping and derping with the nation’s deficit, his proposed 2012 budget will add $9 trillion to our national debt by 2021. Kari Paul at The Maneater said Obama’s proposed budget will “cut funding to inefficient or wasteful programs while increasing funding for programs like clean energy and education, which he believed would benefit the advancement of America’s economy in the global market.” My take on clean energy is an entirely different article, but in passing let me point out that for each “green job” created, 2.2 jobs are lost — 9 jobs for every 4. For Obama to focus on green jobs over pretty much anything else, given the recession and unemployment numbers, is nothing short of insanity. Just short of insanity is the proposal by Republican Scott Walker of Wisconsin to rein in the state’s spending. His plan would require, among other things, that most state employees contribute 5.8 percent of their salaries to their own pension funds, and that they contribute 12.6 percent of salary to health insurance premiums. That would reduce the take-home pay of state workers by 8 percent. Walker’s mistake was that he introduced the proposal without negotiating with unions first. The New York Times hit it on the head in its Feb. 17 editorial. “Benefits for Wisconsin’s state workers are currently quite generous, but ... [t]hey were negotiated by elected officials and can be re-negotiated at the bargaining table if necessary.” I’m not clued-in to Wisconsin politics or to the history of Walker’s attempts to negotiate with unions. But I’m pretty confident that,

tion? I had heard of girls who were “pro-Ana” before, but this group seemed different. “Pro-Ana” is a term that exists so people experiencing this illness can support each other. I Googled “Ana,” the originator, a face - or body - that I could blame. I found no one. “Ana” is simply a pseudonym for anorexia nervosa. People announcing their pro-Ana statuses have garnered attention recently, but somehow in my mind eating disorders were diagnosed to those who had purged or starved their bodies so much that it required emergency medical intervention. That night at the dining center, I stared at the feasting going on around me. The whole time I was thinking about my friend who wouldn’t dare to touch even a third of the food on my plate for fear of gaining weight. I’m a kinesiology major. In my future career, it will be my job to analyze what is best for a person’s body. To have someone so close to me become the victim of an eating disorder was excruciating. I needed to know more about what she was going through. Over the next few days, I asked her various questions about what drove her to call me, how the tumblr community had affected her condition and what her current mindset was concerning eating disorders. What follows is an edited account of our exchange, which she gave me express permission to use. *** Bridget: How and when did your eating disorder start? Friend: I’m not anorexic ... never for any significant amount of time at least. I was [first] triggered by watching an episode of Skins. One of the first ones had an anorexic character... I don’t know when that was, but soon enough came Thanksgiving, which forced me to get back on a more normal diet. I relapsed [back to an eating disorder] going back to school, but then

came winter break. I’ve never kept it on for terribly long, except perhaps in the summer. I don’t know how long that was. Everything got aligned just perfectly to make me lose tons of weight. Then it stopped being about being healthy. It started being about “Holy s*** I’m gaining weight back.” Bridget: How did you find tumblr as a source for support? Friend: It’s actually kind of ironic how I found the tumblr community. [On] my first account I followed a lot of things that were feminist-perspective blogs and queer-friendly blogs. One of them sent out a link to another tumblr blog that was “encouraging anorexia.” And it was a drastic change in the information I was getting. My first account was filled with body-positive rhetoric and images. My next was filled with people who were actively blogging about their eating disorders, giving tips and advice, posting their height, CW (current weight), UGW (ultimate goal weight), BMI (body mass index), things like that. They have exercise plans, ways to hide food, ways to make yourself be not hungry, ways to distract yourself. It’s a wonderful and dangerous resource. The people on tumblr and I have a bit of a dysfunctional relationship. It bothers me, when I realize a lot of those girls are younger than I am. But at the same time it’s a symbiotic relationship. If I see them doing stuff, then I feel as though I can, too. People will post about recovery and then we all feel sorry for them. The horror of having to be force-fed food, to be out of our world. It’s somewhere where all calories are counted, even single digits. It takes a certain kind of person to get an eating disorder as well. You have to be able to be some kind of perfectionist and be able to use your “mind” to control your “body.” Bridget: Do you see those things as accomplishments now, or only when you’re in an

eating disorder state of mind? Friend: Oh yes. They’re all accomplishments in some way. When you’re in a community, you can have a competitive feel as well. So yeah, it’s an accomplishment and something to brag about. But you also have support while being there. I think it takes certain kinds of people to look at it from this perspective. You feel bad for those ones who were caught and have to go to a clinic. This type of eating disorder, whatever you’d like to call it, had happened to me before. Only now I had people to share it with. At the same time, I know I don’t speak for everyone. I don’t have an eating disorder that can be shoved in a box. “You starve yourself: Anorexia.” I don’t want to belittle the labels, but there are more than two types of eating disorders. There’s an entire world out there that I hope you don’t get to know. Bridget: Tell me more about having an eating disorder. Friend: It’s not something that’s seen as a problem [by me]. Even if you had been with me all of the time and noticed something, I wouldn’t think anything was wrong, nor would I care. Starvation is just a label for a process. Dietary guidelines are seen as BS when I’m in that state. You just feel accomplished. So tired, though. The way I see it is like having a split personality. I see myself have 300 calories in a day and feel as though I failed. At the same time, I can, rarely, see this from a more “normal” perspective, one that says 300 calories a day is starving. I can describe what it’s like when you aren’t eating enough. It is never, ever warm enough. Your hands are freezing, but heat feels amazing. You’re a bit dizzy and shaky, but you feel thin and [think] it’s wonderful. [But] it’s not completely about being thin. There’s a very strong aspect

of control as well. A better human being, better able to control your body, better able

to look good, better able to do what society says you should. But this is taken to an extreme.

friend, who stands at an average height of 5’6”, weighed just under 110 pounds. According to medical insurance charts, this is ten pounds lower than is healthy for her. Erin Pederson, staff psychologist for Student Counseling Services, said statistics on what constitutes healthy body weight are based on medical insurance charts instead of actual scientific studies. But instead of seeing it as unhealthy, my friend took those images and compared them to the average weight she is now and saw herself as fat. My reactions were varied. At first, while we were talking on the phone, I was wrapped up in what I had to do that day. At the end of the call, she had agreed to make an appointment with a counselor. Before we hung up, she told me she was sending me something via Facebook I “needed” to see. What awaited me when I logged in wasn’t a long message: it was a link to a tumblr account. For those unfamiliar with tumblr, it is a mixed media blogging site for individuals to post pictures, short blogs and/or videos. She had given me her account information so I could log in and see everything. What I read brought tears to my eyes. The first thing I noticed was the number of followers she had and their usernames: “Thinnest-of-thethin,” “puzzlepieceribs,” “eatair” and countless others. It was a cyber-support group for girls with eating disorders. I felt like I had been thrown into a nightmare. My friend had listed her daily caloric intake from late November 2010 until the end of the fall semester. Not one day exceeded 500 calories. I was stunned and frightened at how meticulously she counted. How could an entire community of girls like this exist without getting some atten-

had they agreed with him on a single term, Wisconsin would be in a better state than it is now. We could argue back and forth forever about the importance of cutting spending and what we think should be cut. But I have a feeling that no matter which side of the spectrum we fall we would agree that leaving the state is one of the most stupid reactions I’ve ever seen anyone in politics leave to get their way. It is literally taking your ball and going home. The game just stops where it was. But that’s exactly what 14 Democratic lawmakers did last week to stop the vote on Walker’s proposal. Sen. Jon Erpenbach, one of the 14 absent lawmakers, told Channel3000.com from Chicago he feels “It’s (Walker’s) job to sit down and talk to people about here’s where we are, how are we all going to get where we all need to be.” Of course, in the same interview, Erpenbach stresses that he’s proud of the protestors in Madison. Proud of the signs. Proud of the vitriol. Proud of the hate. Because most disgusting are the signs these supporters carry. Just following the shootings in Tucson a month and a half ago, it’s comforting to see that 21st-century Americans aren’t yet past comparing one another to Hitler. Nor to drawing crosshairs over the faces of politicians they abhor. I’m not surprised; Hitler signs are old hat to people when they protest the GOP. In the end, it’s the lack of rationality in this entire ordeal that makes it a compelling story. Rather than negotiate with the unions, Gov. Walker has decided to propose legislation to strip them of collective bargaining rights. Rather than negotiate with the GOP in the statehouse, Wisconsin’s Senate Democrats have decided to ﬂee the state. Rather than peacefully negotiate with lawmakers and protest at the capitol, state workers have devolved into name-calling and hateful rhetoric. Expect to see more of this in the near future as the measures needed to balance state budgets only become more severe.

Team drops 3 of 4 at classic in Texas The ISU softball team fell on hard times in San Marcos, Texas this weekend, dropping three of four games at the CenturyLink Classic. The Texas State Bobcats proved to be unkind hosts, beating the Cyclones twice on the weekend. In the first game, senior pitcher Rachel Zabriskie allowed seven runs on nine hits after six innings of work in an uncharacteristic performance. Zabriskie was replaced on the mound by Tori Torrescano for the final inning. A seventh-inning Cyclone rally fell short as the Bobcats held on for a 7-5 victory. When the teams met again, Cyclone batters were shut out for the first time this year, scoring no runs on five hits, in a 3-0 Bobcat victory. It was a stark difference from the Cyclones’ first six games of the season, in which they averaged better than 10 runs a game. The remaining two matchups of the weekend for the Cyclones were against the Purdue Boilermakers. Runs would have to be manufactured for the the Cyclones, who only had six hits in the game but scored eight runs, with the help of six walks. The 8-5 victory was the high point for the Cyclones, who went on to lose 11-2 in their second game against Purdue. The Cyclones (6-4) will return to action next weekend at the College of Charleston Cougar Classic in Charleston, S.C. Zach Gourley, Daily staff writer

Dual season ends in loss to Nebraska By Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com A tough dual season came to an end for the Iowa State Cyclone Wrestling team Sunday as the team was defeated by the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 21-14. Nebraska (14-5 overall, 2-2 in the Big 12) honored their seniors in the season’s final home dual. Iowa State (9-10 overall, 0-4 in the Big 12) fell behind early but clawed back with the dual coming down to the final match. Sunday’s dual began with No. 1 Jon Reader. Reader collected six takedowns and punished Caleb Kolb on his way to 16-4 major decision. Following Reader’s brilliant start, the Cornhuskers turned the table and began to roll. At 184, top-ten rated Josh Ihnen cruised to a 16-1 win over Cole Shafer. At the next four weights, Iowa State lost all four matches by a combined nine points. Jerome Ward lost to Andy Johnson, 5-3, in a battle of top 20 grapplers. Kyle Slifka got his second chance in a row to compete at heavyweight in place of injured Kyle Simonson. Despite losing 2-0 to Tucker Lane, Slifka continues to impress with his ability to hang with the nation’s top heavyweights. Brandon Jones and Ben Cash had opportunities to turn the tide as the dual headed to the 125- and 133-pound matches. Jones fought hard against David Klingsheim, but a twopoint nearfall given up in the second period would come back to haunt him as he lost, 4-2. Cash struggled offensively in his showdown with Ridge Kiley. Kiley, from Eagle Grove, compiled over two minutes of riding time and shut out Cash, 3-0. Iowa State had fallen behind 17-4 when Chris Drouin took the mat. Drouin is still battling back from concussion and put on a dynamic performance against Mike Koehnlein.

Balanced scoring, strong defense lead to Buffalo blowout By David.Merrill iowastatedaily.com When Iowa State lost in Colorado just over a month ago, senior shooting guard Kelsey Bolte seemed to be the only Cyclone that made the trip. She had 25 of the team’s 60 points in a 66-60 overtime loss. In the rematch of the two teams at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday, the Buffaloes (12-3, 3-9 in Big 12) got a taste of the full ISU arsenal. The Cyclones (18-8, 6-6) put together one of their most balanced scoring efforts of the season in the victory. Bolte lead the way with 17 points and seven rebounds, but had plenty of help, as she was one of four players to reach double figures. “Players have been all over [Bolte],” said junior point guard Lauren Mansfield, who had 13 points and three assists. “Teams have been trying to deny her the ball so we all know we have to step up and I think we’re trying to achieve that.” Jessica Schroll recorded her highest scoring output of the season with 11 points to go with her five rebounds. She was out with a concussion the last time these two teams met, so the the Cyclones were happy to get production out

of her in this contest. “She’s someone that’s strong, physical and can get the ball to the basket,” said coach Bill Fennelly. “Offensively, when she’s efficient, she’s hard to guard.” Iowa State went 10-15 from the free throw line the last time these two teams met. This time, the Cyclones did a better job of getting to the free throw line, shooting 2228 from the line. It was also one one of the team’s best defensive performances of the season. After taking a 31-28 lead into halftime, Iowa State outscored Colorado 40-17 in the second half. “At halftime, I think we were disappointed with some of the things we had done” Fennelly said. “In the second half, we decided to not go big and went to a more conventional line up; then we continued to do a good job of spacing the floor and not turning the ball over.” The Cyclones did make adjustments in the turnover department. They had 14 turnovers in the loss in Boulder, Colo. and just six Saturday at Hilton. Iowa State also did a better job of keeping the Buffaloes off the boards this time around. The team got out-rebounded 45-39 in the loss, but this time held Colorado to 32 rebounds. The Cyclones finished with 34. “I think we did a really great job rebounding tonight,” Schroll said. “It wasn’t that big of a deficit, but I think we got some rebounds at really crucial times.”

Milestones highlight Texas game 300th Hilton win, 3-point record at stake Monday By Dan.Tracy iowastatedaily.com ESPN calls its Monday coverage of college basketball Big Monday, but at Hilton Coliseum tonight, it could be renamed Milestone Monday. The Cyclones have the opportunity to win their 300th game in Hilton Coliseum and, by making a three-point basket, could set a new NCAA record for consecutive games with a 3-pointer made when they host Texas. Coincidentally, the game will be broadcast on ESPN2 as part of ESPN’s Big Monday coverage. “On Monday night our players get to play in a game that they watch on TV and dream about all the time,” said ISU coach Bill Fennelly following the win over Colorado. “You’re on Big Monday, and I think that’s pretty cool.” Iowa State (18-8, 6-6 Big 12) has made at least one 3-pointer in 510 consecutive games beginning with an 83-38 loss to Colorado on

Feb. 18, 1995. The Cyclones were a game behind Canisius College for the longest active streak, but the Griffins failed to make a 3-pointer Friday night in a 66-56 loss to Iona. “It’s one of those stats that, you know, stat geeks think is cool,” Fennelly said. “Anything that brings national attention in a positive way to Iowa State University and our community is a good thing.” This season the Cyclones are making 6.8 3-pointers per game. “Iowa State right now is known for it’s threes so it’s huge for us,” said sophomore guard Jessica Schroll. In the 441st ISU game held at Hilton Coliseum — the Cyclones are 299-141 — the No. 20 Cyclones will welcome the Texas Longhorns (17-9, 6-6). At 6-6 in conference play, the Cyclones, Longhorns and Texas Tech Red Raiders all currently sit tied in ﬁfth place in the Big 12. Gail Goestenkors’s squad began Big 12 play with four-straight losses, but since then has gone 6-2. Freshman guard Chassidy Fussell is averaging 19.9 points during Big 12 play, which leads conference freshmen.

Gymnastics

McKellar leads gymnasts in Iowa win Senior’s 9.950 performance propels team to victory By Dylan.Montz iowastatedaily.com No. 23 Iowa State used a season-high team total to defeat No. 20 Iowa on Friday night in Hilton Coliseum, 196.350-195.850. The Cyclones (7-2-1, 1-2 Big 12) scored numerous season and career highs in the defeat of the Hawkeyes (5-5, 2-3 Big Ten). Perhaps the strongest performance for the Cyclones came from senior Jody McKellar. McKellar gave a bars performance unlike any in recent Cyclone gymnastics seasons. She scored a 9.950 on the bars, tying for best in ISU history. The last time a 9.950 was scored on bars was by Erin Dethloff in 2004. McKellar’s score Friday night also gave the Cyclones a season high in bars and was good enough for eighth-highest team bars score in ISU history. “Right from the beginning I felt like it was a pretty solid routine,” McKellar said. “Going into the dismount I was thinking, ‘If I nail this dismount, then this could be one of my all-time

Final best routines ever.’ The energy Iowa 195.850 that I felt from the crowd was Iowa State 196.350 great.” Junior Shea Anderson, the lone Iowa native on the Cyclone roster, also had a career night in the rivalry meet, earning a career high in the beam with a 9.750 as well as tying her career high in the ﬂoor exercise with a 9.850. For Anderson, this particular meet has a little bit of an added meaning, she said. “It’s huge. It means so much to win this meet, and especially being from Iowa, we want it to be a Cyclone nation, so it’s amazing,” Anderson said. Anderson also mentioned that her performances were due to the conﬁdence she has in herself and the rest of the team and was able to put everything together tonight, which she said “felt amazing.” Iowa State has been struggling on the balance beam the last couple of meets but was able to correct some mistakes Friday night and earn a

Cyclones fall behind Tigers early on Slow start results in loss to Missouri By Jake.Lovett iowastatedaily.com In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 76-70 loss to No. 20 Missouri, Iowa State fell behind 4-2 at the 17:56 mark of the ďŹ rst half. For the next 31 minutes, the Cyclones (14-13, 1-11 in Big 12) would have to try and battle back from behind. Another slow start, another Big 12 loss for Fred Hoibergâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s young team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just came out and dug ourselves another hole,â&#x20AC;? Hoiberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We exhaust too much energy trying to get back into the game.â&#x20AC;? After the 4-2 defecit early, the Tigers pulled away to a 12-point lead later in the half, but from there, the Cyclones slowly began to claw their way back into the game. Twelve minutes of whittling ďŹ nally resulted in just a two-point halftime deďŹ cit. However, the second half was more of the same. The Cyclones fell behind by seven, creeped back to tie the game at 58, just the second and only time the game would be tied. The Cyclones never led. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to come out and battle for 40 minutes,â&#x20AC;? Hoiberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the way our guys battled for 33 of the 40 minutes. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to ďŹ nd a way to come out from the tip and play that way.

Vanderbeken Freshmen injury update step up Iowa State played without forward Jamie Vanderbeken for the second time on Saturday, as the big man sat out with an ankle injury. ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said after the game that Vanderbekenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s status for Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Texas was still up in the air, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been getting treatment.

went 10 deep for much of the game. Hoiberg applauded his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort, particularly that of freshman Melvin Ejim, who had 11 points and seven rebounds. The coach said his freshman, Ejim, routinely asked for breaks on the bench after running himself to exhaustion during the course of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the effort we need,â&#x20AC;? Hoiberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need guys running themselves into the ground. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired, but they can rest when the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s over.â&#x20AC;? Iowa State is mired in a nine-game losing streak, without a win since Jan. 15. Nearly all of the nine losses have started with slow ISU starts, leaving the young, thin roster ďŹ ghting back in most of its games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we start off the way we always play throughout the

Ronayne also talked about how bars have progressed from week to week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our beam coach Ashley Kent has been putting them under pressure situations a lot,â&#x20AC;?

In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst half, the Cyclones got just ďŹ ve points from guards Scott Christopherson and Diante Garrett. In their place, Iowa State was led by a trio of freshmen, Melvin Ejim, Calvin Godfrey and Jordan Railey. The three ISU forwards combined for 16 points and nine rebounds to help keep the Cyclones at a 35-33 halftime defecit. Ejim led the way for the freshmen, scoring seven of those points and grabbing six rebounds, four of which came on the offensive end. He ended the game with 11 points and seven rebounds. Godfrey notched a double-double, 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Hoiberg said his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense in the last ten minutes of the game was as good as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been all season, but the comments just led him once again to reďŹ&#x201A;ecting on his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slow start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you come out, start the game that way ... instead of ďŹ ghting back every game and trying to ďŹ nd a way to dig into a lead,â&#x20AC;? Hoiberg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the dissappointing thing to me, is we show how capable we are.â&#x20AC;?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- If you’ve wanted to write a novel and you haven’t started yet, now is a good time. Let the words flow. Don’t worry about form or grammar. That comes later.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Today is a 7 -- There may be some conflicts at work. Don’t pay too much attention to the details, and focus instead on long-term goals. Remind others, if necessary.

Aries (March 21-April 19) -- Today is a 6 -There may be conflict with partners today. You can definitely work it out. Put yourself in their shoes. Others appreciate this and ask you for advice.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Today is a 7 -- Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Acknowledge any mistakes and learn from them. They may provide opportunities for making income, if you look.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- Today is a 7 -- It’s a great time to sign contracts or write a business plan. Don’t let work keep you from spending some time outdoors, though. This inspires.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- Today is a 6 -- To avoid feeling neglected, surround yourself with friends that truly love you. In the face of intensity, keep your calm. Cultivate your own peace.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Today is an 8 -- Get in communication with a client. Make sure to get plenty of attention at home. If you feel ignored, kindly ask for what you need. Use your words.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Today is a 7 -- Don’t rely on an unstable source. There may be confusion in communication. Figure out the costs. Discover you’re worth more than you thought to someone.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) -- Today is a 6 -- Even when your heart’s broken, you can still enjoy simple pleasures, like the miracle of a raindrop or a falling star. Find beauty in small things.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Today is a 6 -- You demand attention, and yet it doesn’t seem enough. Perhaps it’s time to hang alone and rest. The lack you perceive may be perfection in disguise.

Today’s Birthday (02/21/11). As the year goes by, you find yourself more confident, more attractive and a more powerful communicator. Others want to hear what you have to say. Don’t overextend yourself or your finances. Happiness is not about the money, but it helps to have a nest egg.

Ames Borders not among closing stores Borders CEO Mike Edwards blamed Borders’ bankruptcy on the rough economy and the “changing bookselling environment.” The national bookstore chain filed for bankruptcy Wednesday after weeks of speculation. Edwards made it clear that Borders would not go out of business, though 30 percent of its stores will have to close. This percentage may rise. “We must restructure Borders and reposition our business for long-term success,” Edwards said in an e-mail message to Borders Rewards members. “We determined that the best path for Borders to have the ability to achieve the reorganization is through the Chapter 11 [bankruptcy] process.” Borders received $550 million from a group of investors led by GE Capital to restructure the business, but it may not be enough to battle the “changing bookselling environment.” This refers to Amazon.com offering books for a lower price than Borders and other national chains and eBooks being available for much less online. Many Borders stores will continue to operate as usual, with author signings and readings, book clubs and kids’ storytimes and parties. At this time, the Ames location is not included in the list of stores that must close. Borders.com is operating as usual as well. For more information, visit bordersreorganization.com. Daily Staff

Rental

World’s largest party bus to be open in Boone The world’s largest party bus will soon be available just 15 miles from Ames. The bus is 60 feet long and holds 78 people. It gets six miles per gallon and is available for $155 an hour, with a three-hour rental minimum. After the first three hours, the price drops by five dollars. Party buses have become popular in recent years as a way to party with friends while having a hired designated driver for the night. John Booth, owner of the bus, said it’s a great tool to keep students off the road and prevent drunk driving. The bus comes equipped with a 54-inch flat screen television, a sound system, DJ lights, a dance pole, Play Station 2 with Guitar Hero and leather couches. The bus will begin running March 1.

Oil spill

Payment rules finalized for Gulf victims By Catherine Clifford CNN Wire Service NEW YORK — Now it’s official: The agency in charge of doling out payments to victims of last year’s massive Gulf oil spill has come up with its final set of rules on who will get how much money, and it’s barely changed from earlier versions. The Gulf Coast Claims Facility has taken criticism from both sides -- the U.S. Department of Justice said it was being too stingy with BP’s $20 billion oil spill recovery fund (and many victims agreed), while BP, which was responsible for last year’s disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, said it was being too generous. The GCCF, headed by Kenneth Feinberg, former administrator of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund, received more than 1,400 public comments in response to its draft proposal. The changes to the final rules are relatively minor, although they could make a big difference for those affected by the tweaks. They’ll come as good news to oyster processors, as well as victims who use accountants to help them file claims. The final rules also promise to give claimants more data about the status of their claims, including how any payments were calculated and why. They’ll be bad news to local boat operators who helped with clean-up efforts, though; the final rules say boats used as part of a “Vessels of Opportunity” program can’t get paid for any resulting property damage via the claims facility. Now that the final methodology has been published, the Facility will begin making final and interim payments.

Engineer takes flight Alumnus launches historic unmanned aircraft, X-47B

By Micaela.Cashman iowastatedaily.com Joseph Chody, 1979 ISU alumnus in aerospace engineering, recently launched the first unmanned aircraft, the X-47B Unmanned Combat Air System Demonstration. The plane, engineered and built at Northrop Grumman, completed its historic first flight at Edwards Air Force Base in California. “It was a very ‘clean’ flight, meaning there were no surprises — very boring, which is exactly the way you want first flights, or any flight for that matter,” Chody said.

Chody serves as the Navy Unmanned Combat Air System Director of System Engineering, Integration and Test. “The [X-47B] contract was awarded by the Navy [to Northrop Grumman] in August of 2007,” he said. I joined the program ... in June 2008.” The six-year contract requires Northrop Grumman to develop two X-47B fighter-sized aircraft. The program is now preparing for carrier trials in 2013. “Designing a tailless, fighter-sized unmanned aircraft from a clean sheet is no small feat,” said Janis Pamiljans, vice president and program manager. “Commitment, collaboration and uncompromising technical excellence among the Navy, Northrop Grumman and the UCAS-D

team industry partners made today’s flight a reality.” Chody had the opportunity to watch the historic flight from the runway. The X-47B took off under reportedly hazy skies and climbed to an altitude of 5,000 feet, flying several “racetracktype patterns.” The flight took 29 minutes and provided test data to verify that all of the software was working correctly. Chody was unable to state exactly what the process of developing the plane was; additionally, he could not state any specifics on the X-47B due to security measures Northrop Grumman must take when working with the Navy. For more information on Northrop Grumman and the X-47B, visit northropgrumman.com.

College of Business

Accounting students offer expertise Four-credit course assists taxpayers, trains students By Ben.Theobald iowastatedaily.com The College of Business is offering a program that assists citizens with their taxes. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program started Feb. 15 and will end April 14, with taxes this year being due on April 18. The service is provided by trained ISU accounting students. “This is a program that the IRS [Internal Revenue Service] has had for a very long time,” said William Dilla, associate professor of accounting. “It is at least 15 to 20 years old, maybe longer.” The program is offered as a four-credit course to students in the College of Business. “The important change we made three years ago was starting to do this as a four-credit course,” Dilla said. “The idea came from some of our students who are in the Beta Alpha Psi [business fraternity] who had gone to a regional conference and found that other schools were doing it as a service learning for credit.” There are about 30 students that are enrolled in the course this

year. Dilla said, “The class is open to any business major. I think everybody in it this year is an acDilla counting major. Beta Alpha Psi assists ISU students as well as anyone else in the community with their income tax returns through the volunteer assistance program, which they sponsor. The Volunter Income Tax Assistance class is sponsored by the IRS. “The IRS provides all the training materials,” Dilla said. “As coordinator of [Beta Alpha] Psi, they give me additional guidance about what we can and cannot do. As tax laws are changing, they give me updates, and I communicate those updates to the rest of the volunteers.” To be eligible for the program, a taxpayer must have a household income of less than $58,000. “It’s the number the IRS gives us,” Dilla said. “It’s adjusted for inflation; the ceiling goes up every year.” The program has gotten more popular each year. Dilla said, “Three years ago we did about 150 tax returns over the season, two years ago we did about 250, and last year we did about 500.

I would think, though, we probably won’t do many more than 500 this year since there is only so much we can do.” The program isn’t just for students, but for anyone in the Ames community. “While a majority of our clients are students, we serve the entire community,” Dilla said. “Anybody who meets the guidelines can come in and have their return
