Stolen cash, panties lead to arrest By Kaitlin.York iowastatedaily.com ISU student Cody Hennings, freshman in agricultural studies, was arrested Monday after video tapes were reviewed for a burglary complaint in Welch and Linden halls. “One resident of Welch Hall remembered seeing his lights [turn] on and off while he was sleeping,” said Aaron DeLashmutt, lieutenant for ISU Police. “When he woke up he noticed cash missing from his wallet.” Another incident happened at approximately 3 a.m. Saturday in room 388 of Linden Hall. A female student reported she was sleeping in her unlocked room when she woke up to a male crouched down by her laundry basket.

Budget Memo #3
Institutions’ funding uncertain By Paige.Godden iowastatedaily.com The Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost released Budget Memo #3, the budget and planning memo, Thursday. The University’s proposed budget is at $228,133,348, with the house appropriation’s estimate at $207,611,237, a 9 percent reduction. The governor’s budget suggests appropriations at $211,435,393, or a 7.3 percent cut. The governor’s cuts would also eliminate $3.2 million in one-time funding that was appropriated in 2011 for the underground storage fund. The memo said the Senate is scheduled to release its appropriation targets next week. “State appropriation levels for the Regents continue to be uncertain. The legislative process is presently working with several funding scenarios for the Regent’s institutions,” according to the memo. The memo said preliminary student enrollment for fall 2011 is “projected to be relatively stable when compared to fall 2010 enrollment. FY12 enrollment projections will be finalized in March.” “With no clear indication of the size of the reduction to state appropriations and without approved tuition rates, it is challenging to assess the overall impact of these and other fac-

A Social Media R evolution Protesters encouraged by tweets, Facebook posts
Tweeting for credit, Facebook posts lead non-verbal communication to arrest in assault case

In Tunisia, a young man graduated from college, facing a situation not dissimilar to an ISU student, except he’s living in a country characterized by corruption and political oppression, with unemployment rates rising as steadily as prices. In an effort make a living, he became a street vendor; only to have his product taken away by authorities who claimed he didn’t have the proper permit. This young man set himself on fire in protest in December 2010 and set into motion a
Dawn Sweet, lecturer in psychology, encouraged her research methods and nonverbal class to get on board with Twitter and tweet her to receive extra credit points and engage in classroom material. Beginning in the fall semester, a friend encouraged Sweet to start following Paul Ekman and Joe Navarro on Twitter. They all do the same kind of work Sweet does with nonverbal behavior and deception. “After tweeting Joe Navarro I saw how easy it was. I thought ‘ah, that’s kind cool,’ and wondered if the students would like it because it’s kind of fun,” Sweet said. Sweet suggested students in her two classes set up Twitter accounts and follow their class’s account. Throughout the week Sweet will tweet class updates, reminders, questions and scenarios happening in the news to her followers. Students can tweet answers to her questions, mentioning her account, in order to receive extra credit points. “What I see this doing is just another way to keep students up to date as to what is going on in the classroom and bring to their attention to the news that might be relevant to the class,” Sweet said.
They might have gotten away, had they not posted incriminating evidence on Facebook. Ermilla Hernandez and Rachael Neas were arrested Monday on charges of each being an “accessory after the fact,” an aggravated misdemeanor, after Facebook posts made by each of them were discovered by Ames Police. Their posts indicated that both had knowledge that a public offense was committed and were aiding a suspect in an assault investigation with the intent of preventing his arrest. Lucas Kokjohn, 19, of Clinton, was the cause for a disturbance call made to the Ames Police Department on Sunday after he attacked Carson Pettit three or four times in the head with a gun, according to Story County court documents. When officers arrived, the victim was found suffering severe head injuries from being struck with a handgun. Officers interviewed all witnesses at the scene, including one of the defendants, Hernandez, according to court documents. Hernandez, along with another witness, Neas, of Clinton, denied multiple

Lost and found is valuable student asset By Karen.Jennings iowastatedaily.com David Hoffman’s nightmare started about three weeks ago on a Thursday afternoon. Hoffman, senior in software engineering, lost his phone while walking to the Memorial Union. “I was pretty low in thinking, ‘Oh, my God, I’m not going to get my phone back,’ not for the phone but for the contacts,” Hoffman said. He retraced his steps, returning to Gerdin and contacted the police department. After five days of searching, it was finally found. In the Memorial Union as he was back tracking, an employee at the information desk told him about the campus’s lost and found website. His phone was returned to him Feb. 1, after he posted a description of his missing phone and contact information to the site. “[When they found my phone] it was like I was floating on air,” Hoffman said. “I am glad that I didn’t have to get a new phone and start over.” Hoffman believes if students were aware of the lost and found resources on campus, students will be better prepared to cope in situations similar to his. Each building on campus has its own lost and found, usually located in its main office. These resources will hold on to lost items for an undeter-
How to find your lost item: 1. Go to the office of the building where it was lost. 2. Check the campus lost and found website to see if it has been found. 3. Post your lost item on the website. 4. Check CyRide. 5. Call the police department’s nonemergency number to see if it’s been found.
mined amount of time before they’re sent to the overarching campus lost and found, located in Central Stores, in the General Services building. Norman Hill is the director of Central Stores who manages all the things that are turned in to the lost and found. Central Stores holds items such as keys, phones, iPods, watches, purses, backpacks, etc. Hill does what he can to return the items that are brought to his office. “When phones aren’t locked, I usually call Mom and Dad,” Hill said. “People come in and send e-mails and rummage through things to reunite them with their stuff.” The progress is much easier for Hill if students help themselves by using the website, where everything

that students lose and turn in is listed with a description of the item and contact information for the owner. “I encourage people to post what they lose on the website,” Hill said. “If people find things, they should return it to Central Stores.” There is a 90-day policy that limits the amount of time items are held by the lost and found services. After 90 days most of the clothes go to the ISU surplus. The remaining items like electronics are kept locked in the office. “If we can’t find a home for [the items], then they are considered abandoned,” Hill said. People have to give a thorough description before they can receive their lost items.

“For an iPod, I will say give me your playlist or some downloads,” Hill said. The departments hold on to things before they send it to Central Stores. Anything found by campus police is also taken to Central Stores. While Hill waits for items to be claimed, he has a charger for all phones in his office. “If can’t get in touch with [the person] within six months or so, we recycle the batteries and the phone.” Hill said. “We don’t give it away because there is too much information on them.”
Putting your name or I.D. number somewhere on your personal items allows owners to retrieve their belongings more easily, Hill said. Parks Library keeps items at the circulation desk for about 30 days before they send it to Central Stores. The library’s process is the same as Central Stores when it comes to identifying and contacting the person who lost the item, said Dan Shea, library assistant. “The library gets a lot of flash drives because it is so small and people forget about them, and about a cell phone a week, if not more,” Shea said.

‘The Bodyguard’ to get a more modern remake “The Bodyguard” is the latest movie to get a big-screen reboot.

According to Deadline, the new movie will have a more modern twist. This time around, it’s an Iraq war vet trying to keep the diva out of danger, and thanks to today’s world of Twitter, Google Maps and TMZ, that won’t be easy.

>>REVOLUTION.p1 series of revolutions that has been dubbed “Revolutions 2.0.â€? In the United States, social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook are used to keep in touch with friends or follow favorite celebrities, but in the Middle Eastern and North African regions of the world, it is being used to motivate people to rise up against restrictive governments and cause change. In many of these revolutions, especially those in Tunisia and Egypt, the youth led the ďŹ ght for reform. Anwar Mohamed, president of the Egyptian Students Association, associated the use of social media with the amount of young people involved in the protests. The big advantage of using social networking sites, as shown in the Middle Eastern revolutions, is the speed of it all. The uprising that began in Tunisia has now spread to more than eight other countries and doesn’t seem to be losing steam. “Cell phones, texting, tweeting and doing Facebook group events is faster and can encompass a much larger number of people very quickly and take the authorities by surprise,â€? said Steffen Schmidt, professor of political science. But there are consequences when using social media for such causes. “You saw that you could use these types of tools for mobilizing people for good causes, but also for propaganda,â€? said Raluca Cozma, assistant professor of journalism who is currently researching how news is affected by social media, especially Twitter. This was seen mainly in the
at the residence, according to court documents. Officers proceeded to view the Facebook proďŹ le for Kokjohn, when a post made by Hernandez and Neas was discovered. The posts contained information concerning the assault on Pettit. Upon discovering the posts, Ames Police arrested Hernandez and Neas on charges of being an accessory after the fact, in the case against Kokjohn. If one is accused of an aggravated
uprising in Egypt, where authorities shut down Internet and cell phone lines, only to come back online to spread rumors against the protesters. The use of social media also allowed the rest of the world to virtually participate, providing information on the happenings instantaneously. “Through social networking sites, people from all over the world could show their solidarity,â€? Cozma said. “I think that’s what helped the morale for the young protesters of Egypt.â€? Since the occurrence of these revolutions, especially in Egypt, Internet usage and social media use has become even more popular. “There was a newborn daughter in Egypt and her father called her Facebook,â€? Mohamed said. “So this can just give you a hint about how popular Facebook is now.â€? Mohamed also noted that he has added more and more friends from Egypt, most of whom created Facebook proďŹ les after the revolution. The use of social media to spark revolutions has also caused a change in how the U.S. responds. “Social media affects everything,â€? Schmidt said. “It affects domestic policy and politics and it affects international policy and politics.â€? “It is the latest, amazing factor shaping what happens in countries and then how the U.S. responds to it and because of the speed of it and the unpredictability of it, it completely changes how U.S. foreign policy is made,â€? he said. The future affects of social media in Middle Eastern society is still as unpredictable as social media itself, but some speculate it will be a lasting inuence, saying it could even determine the winner of Egypt’s ďŹ rst free election.
misdemeanor, penalties include a maximum prison term of two years and a mandatory ďŹ ne of at least $500 but no more than $5,000. The Ames Police Department won’t hesitate to utilize social networking websites to acquire information that can be used in investigation, said Jim Robinson, investigations commander for Ames Police. Because this investigation is still active, Ames Police does not wish to discuss further information.
Kokjohn has been convicted of a previous felony, an assault causing serious injury, on April 2, 2009. Having possession of a ďŹ rearm after being convicted of a felony in a state court results in the accusation of the crime for being a felon in possession of a ďŹ rearm, according to court documents. Kokjohn is being held at Story County jail with a bail set at $20,000 cash only. A preliminary hearing is set for

Although social media has traditionally been kept separate from classrooms, there are universities engaging in the use of such mediums in classroom settings. Schmidt relates the use of Twitter within the classroom as a replacement for a clicker. “Purdue University will have two projectors set up,� Schmidt said. “One for the lecture notes and the second a Twitter feed.

Editorial
Is an Oscar overhaul necessary?
Whether people want to admit it or not, everyone is a food snob and a movie snob. Everyone eats and watches movies. Therefore, we have opinions and we have strong likes and dislikes. And in movies, the snobbiest of the snobs is Oscar. This year’s Academy Awards, which takes places Sunday, has 24 categories, therefore, only awarding a handful of people in the movie industry. In comparison, the Grammys and the Emmys are composed of enough categories to require a separate ceremony where a large majority of the nominees are honored. Twenty-four categories might not seem like that many, but upon further reflection, even this amount might be too many. There are numerous award shows honoring film throughout the first few months of the year, such as the Screen Actors Guild, Writers Guild of America, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Golden Globes. So, do some of the categories that only reflect a small scope of the movie industry need to be honored? We like the Oscars as an elite awards show. There are plenty of award shows that already honor movies, so there is less need to award sub genres: comedies, musicals, fantasy and yes, even animation. We all love animated movies — “Snow White,” “The Jungle Book,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Aladdin,” etc. — but how often are these worthy a Best Picture Oscar? This is the 10th year for the best animated feature film category, and only two times has it had five nominations. If we want the Oscars to be the mighty and elite, it’s time to say goodbye to Nemo, Wallace and Gromit, WALL-E, Mr. Incredible and the rest of the animated gang — but is “Avatar” or “Sin City” an animated movie? It is time for the two best screenplay categories to be one single category, and the same goes for the documentary categories. And other award shows should grab the short films. They need more exposure because Oscar doesn’t do them justice. We’ve also heard the good argument that best makeup should be merged with best visual effects because so much elaborate makeup work is now done with special effects. It’s worth a discussion. However, part of us would like the Academy Awards to be an all-encompassing movie awards show. Like the Grammys, it would cover all the various genres and offer opportunities for people to walk away with more than one Oscar during a night. Does Hollywood need a show like that or does that degrade Oscar too much? Hollywood may need one, but we love Oscar too much. Yeah, we’re elitist. Editorial Board

Even a 5-year-old girl understands the importance of fulfilling her personal wants for knowledge and career. Screenshot: YouTube.com
By Taysha.Murtaugh iowastatedaily.com
Females encouraged to continue higher education
“I
don’t care if I marry you. I don’t care if I marry another man. I care if I do something that’s special.” These are the words of a 5-year-old girl. YouTube user “AnnaGraceMusic” posted a video Tuesday of her 5-year-old sister explaining why she thinks it’s important that she has a job before she gets married. Three days later, the video, “5 year old needs a job before getting married - funny!” has now reached more than one million views. This video appealed to me for a few reasons. First, the little girl is adorable. She’s barely taller than the doorknob on the door behind her as she lisps through her “S”s and waves her little arms in front of the camera to let us know she means it. Secondly, it’s hilarious to hear such a small person speaking so adamantly about such a big issue. Her facial expressions and hand motions are nothing short of sassy as she talks about turning down marriage proposals from men who won’t wait for her to establish herself. Finally, this video struck me as refreshing. I am so impressed that a child her age, who can’t know much of the world beyond crayons and swing sets, supports a woman’s pursuit of a successful career over marriage. However, after the 46-second video and my laughter ended, I started to wonder, “Why don’t I hear more women my age talk like this?” I’ve heard people joke countless times about female students only attending college for their “Mrs.” degree. As a woman, this offends me, but it also worries me that in some cases, it might just be true. “This is my life,” says soon-to-be YouTube sensation to her imaginary suitors. “I’m not going to do anything for you until I have my job.” Why have I never heard this from a classmate? This girl is 15 years younger than me, and it sounds like she’s got it all figured out. What will she be like in 15 years?
In her future classes and club meetings, will she continue to speak out and be heard? At a university filled with strong, intelligent women, I can’t help but feel disappointed when in virtually every class and meeting I attend, the men do most of the talking while the women remain silent. Where is the woman’s voice? Sometimes I don’t hear it. Other times, I hear it, but it’s too littered with “likes” to be comprehended, let alone taken seriously. Maybe I’m not listening hard enough. Maybe the men just need to shut up once in a while, especially when the discussion centers on something they have less of a right to speak about than women: “cough, cough, abortion, cough.” I’m not writing this to be a bitchy feminist; I’m writing this because I’m genuinely concerned about the level of female empowerment of women our age. There are some women on this campus whose main goal is to get married and have kids before they reach 25 so that, God forbid, they don’t become “old moms.” Don’t get me wrong; I fully respect women who want to get married and have children. Hell, I’m one of them. But what’s the rush? Is it worth jeopardizing your education and career to focus on a wedding ring? I should mention that there are some extraordinary women here; on the faculty and student level. There are women who are working so hard to “do something that’s special,” and they deserve more credit than I can give them. Bonnie Bowen is one of many female professors providing a strong female voice at Iowa State. The adjunct associate professor of ecology, evolution and organismal biology is the director of the ISU Advance Program that is dedicated to keeping women in science and engineering and encouraging women to continue in their education past their undergraduate degree. Claudia Prado-Meza, graduate in sociology and vice president of the Association of Latinoamericanos; Chandra Peterson, former vice president of the Government of the Student Body, are just two of the female
student leaders on campus. Despite the numerous women making a difference at our university, women are still outnumbered in leadership positions, both in college and the job market. While it’s true women and men have equal opportunity to run for leadership positions in this country, it is in no way true that they have an equal chance of being elected. Plus, subjects like math, science and leadership have not been encouraged enough among young girls historically. It’s time to admit that by withholding the same kind of encouragement from girls granted to boys, we are crippling women’s progress. Our gender has certainly made leaps and bounds in society, but the harsh reality is women are still paid less than men for doing the same work. Women earned 82.8 percent of the median weekly wage of men in the second quarter of 2010, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although this number is the highest ever recorded, it still does not equal 100 percent, which is not good enough. How do you think our YouTube star will feel about those numbers once she’s old enough to find out? Hopefully, for her sake and for the sake of the people she’s sure to berate about it, by the time she enters the workplace women will be earning equal pay for equal work. Think back to when you were a little girl, boys, this sentence clearly doesn’t apply to you. Would you have said the things that this girl said? Before you played “house” with your dollies, did you put your foot down and say, “Not before I get a job”? How about now? Your dolls are packed away in your parents’ attic or the basement, I presume, but is the basic idea of marriage still taking precedence over your education and career goals? If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch this video on YouTube. Listen and laugh at the little pistol as she spouts off about her future career, whatever that may be. But when it’s over, I hope you remember what she said, and I hope she inspires you to “do something that’s special.”

ISUtv brings best of both worlds W
hen I came to Iowa State, I was going to be the best computer scientist ever. I would be such a good programmer that I would program beer and money right into existence on my Millennium Falcon, which I would have also just programmed into existence. As my grades in my first programming class began sliding toward the middle of the alphabet, I fought the good college fight by waving them goodbye. Where the average collegian would have drunkenly thrown a Dorito at a list of majors and chosen the one where the cheese smear was thickest, I switched to journalism because I “liked to write.” I heart writing, sure, but in journalism and in the Greenlee School, students have to basically get married to writing; take mortgages out with writing and father several children with writing. I switched majors and began to live my new life as a “print major,” as if I would end up in written publications. As you’re reading this article, I guess that’s more or less true.
By Brandon.Blue iowastatedaily.com
But one day, in an intro to reporting class, I found my Rosetta Stone in the form of a TV camera. All was made clear; I would become a cameraman. So I walked over to the Communications Building, knocked on the office door, and joined ISUtv. Josh Larson, describable only as ISUtv’s Obi-Wan Kenobi, gave me a tour of Studio B, which is where we film all of our TV shows. I think of that tour as a slimy cocoon on a tree branch: The unremarkable beginning to something beautiful. To be fair, the writing never went away. TV writing is actually more difficult to understand than the prose you see in a newspaper. In TV, you’ve got to write for the teleprompter, for the ear, which results in hilarity such as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad becoming “Mah-Mood Ah-Mah-Din-Uh-Jod.” The reporting became more complicated. Now there was a huge camera and tripod along with a mic kit I had to lug around everywhere. There were also new rules about where I could and couldn’t
go. If any of my equipment didn’t work, I had no story. Yet, when things functioned correctly, there was an immediate art form to it. Now I could frame a shot, decide how to light it and film b-roll I thought was interesting and relevant to the story. But the whole time there was a little Brandon crouching on my shoulder, shouting, “Why broadcast television? Isn’t TV is going the way of the floppy disk?” The latter is untrue, at least in the Midwest, where people still prioritize local TV news, and the former is answered easily enough. Some background: When I was younger, my friends and I made videos for our youth group. At that age, it was more of an excuse to work fart jokes into a church setting than a serious attempt at dethroning Steven Spielberg. While we brought joy to tens of people, our biggest fans were of course ourselves. And yet I learned then, slaving away over a hot keyboard for minutes on end, that I really enjoyed cutting and shooting video. That pleasure never really left me.
In journalism, I found that I had a sincere interest in hearing what others had to say. The sheer number of people you talk to, different people in all walks of life guarantees every story is new. As a journalist, I’ve never talked to a person that didn’t have something to tell me, something I was happy to listen to. As Dick Doak, lecturer at the Greenlee School, told us at the opinion desk: “Everyone’s got one opinion column in them.” Truer words are rarely spoken in this field. Broadcast journalism wed my interest of technology with my interest in humanity. It’s a marriage that will certainly last. All that’s not to say I take the Iowa State Daily for granted. My writing skills would have withered and died had I not continued to write for the paper; TV writing is short and to the point. Prose in the opinion section has room for garden paths and run-ons, metaphor and hyperbole. I think every second is well spent at both the Daily and ISUtv, even the unpleasant ones, which after all, only last a second.

Congress: Give back to the military Shouldn’t U.S. service personnel and veterans get back those constitutional rights they die for and convicted rapists and murderers keep? Convicted rapists and murderers are given protection from human experiments by the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, Amendment Eight. The Senate signed and ratiďŹ ed the United Nation, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights in 1992. Its 1994 Index, “ ... Article 7 - Freedom from Torture, or Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishmentâ€? notes that, “Written policy and practice prohibit the use ofâ€? [prison] “inmates for medical ... experiments.â€? Nineteen times cited are the U.S. Constitution plus its Eighth Amendment’s no cruel and unusual punishment. “The Feres Doctrine should not be applied for military personnel who are harmed by inappropriate human experimentation when informed consent has not been given.â€? Then, “During the last 50 years, hundreds of thousands of military personnelâ€? were subjected to “experiments that were designed to harm,â€? i.e., the 1994 Senate report’s biological and chemical agents, radiation exposure, hallucinogenic and investigational drugs, experimental vaccines and behavior modiďŹ cation projects. In 2011, still ignored is this, and their also noted past and present, “III. Findings and conclusions,â€? “K. DOD and DVA have repeatedly failed to provide information and medical follow-up to those who participate in military research ... “ and “N. Participation in military research is rarely included in military medical records, making it impossible to support a veteran’s claim for service-connected disabilities from military research.â€? This is the withheld needed for diagnosis and treatment for experiment identifying evidence. Underlying this Senate report is the General
Accounting Office September 1994 House report, “Human Experimentation Overview on Cold War Era Programs.â€? In the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1950 Feres case, a death due to a 1947 Army barracks ďŹ re was determined to be an “incident to service.â€? In the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1987 Stanley a Department of Defense 1958 “to harmâ€? drug experiment is swept under the same cover of “injuries that arise out of or are in the course of activity incident to service.â€? Fifty times it cites the Feres Doctrine. Not once mentioned is the U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, Amendment Eight. In 2005 some in Congress made an attempt to get the biological and chemical portion of this withheld needed for treatment evidence, e.g., H.R. 4259 the “Veterans’ Right to Know Commission.â€? It died. It is now from 1944, 67 years of U.S. Congressional talk with no Feres Doctrine and its Stanley “to harmâ€? correction. During the 1994 reported past, hundreds of thousands of the “to harmâ€? service records were destroyed in a 1973 National Personnel Records Center ďŹ re. Then Congress’s 1974 Privacy Act censored experiment verifying witnesses from any surviving and future records. Overlooked by many in Congress is their Oath of Office to defend the U.S. Constitution, our “Pledge of Allegianceâ€? “with liberty and justice for all,â€? their U.S. Constitution Eighth Amendment protection of convicted rapists and murderers with the U.S. Supreme Court’s ignored, carved in stone over its entrance, “Equal justice under law.â€? As in the General Accounting Office and the Senate’s reported past, these “military researchâ€? “incident to serviceâ€? activities are conducted under the ongoing secrecy cover of our “national interests,â€? e.g., WWII, the Cold War, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do not the U.S. Senate’s stated Department of Defense “experiments that were designed to harmâ€? continue? Please hold your members in the Congress accountable for
giving back to those that serve their constitutional rights. Dave B
Iowa steps up in solar energy Imagine a readily available source of energy that could produce electricity for our homes and businesses, right where we live and work. Solar energy could be the next new engine of job creation for Iowans, provided we seize the opportunities in front of us. Iowa has become a world leader in biofuels and the big wind industry. This is thanks to great natural resources — sun, soils and wind — and smart state policies. And let’s not forget taxpayers who have provided plenty of help in the form of public subsides. During the last decade, taxpayers have invested billions in these industries. This investment has paid off by creating new jobs and new markets for Iowa products. Iowa’s next opportunity is to harvest the sun directly to power and heat our homes, farms, businesses, public buildings and automobiles. Iowa has abundant sunshine. Solar energy grows billions of dollars of crops each year in our state. That energy is there for the taking. The solar industry is taking off in the states that surround us. It can create jobs in every county in our state too. Solar’s time has arrived. The amount of electricity generated by solar photovoltaic installations will double next year, according to a new report by the iSuppli Corporation. The report predicts that 2 gigawatts of solar photovoltaic will be added in the United States in 2011. That’s enough to power 1.5 to 2 million homes. Venture capital investors have noticed this opportunity. Investment in solar increased by 77 percent in 2010 to $1.58 billion, according to a new report by Ernst and Young. Growth in the solar industry means well-paying jobs for many people in our local
communities: electricians, builders, plumbers, contractors, engineers, technicians and salespeople. Hawkeye, Kirkwood, Western Iowa Tech, Iowa Central, Indian Hills and Eastern Iowa Community Colleges are all helping Iowans learn to sell, install and maintain solar energy systems. In addition, Iowa small businesses have united to create the Iowa Solar/ Small Wind Energy Trade Association. They are working to support all aspects of this emerging industry in Iowa. What our edgling Iowa solar businesses need now are customers. Our neighbors in Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota and our relatives in Colorado, New Jersey, New York and Ohio are all way ahead of us. They all have great state policies and ďŹ nancial incentives to help make solar technology more affordable for businesses, homeowners and public buildings. That’s why the Iowa Senate is working on legislation — Senate File 99 — to jump-start this industry with a set of clean energy incentives. They include consumer rebates for home and business solar installations. Iowa is clearly a leader in wind and biofuels, but we are on the sidelines when it comes to solar. Now is the time to create the new, clean energy jobs of the future. State Senator Joe Bolkcom, Iowa City, IA
Schools ďŹ ght obesity in children Childhood obesity has tripled in the last 30 years and schools are an ideal place to start the ďŹ ght against it. I am writing to applaud Iowa and the nation on taking positive steps toward improving nutrition and the level of physical activity in our public schools. President Obama just
signed the Healthy, HungerFree Kids Act at the end of last year, raising nutrition standards and increasing funding for school lunches. Even though the improvements that have been made are great, I believe we can do better. I have several recommendations that can help schools prevent obesity and promote healthier lifestyles in regards to the availability of certain foods and beverages. It sends a mixed message to kids to allow junk food in their schools at events, parties, and after school, but teach them healthy eating during the day. In addition, schools need to choose health over proďŹ ts and say no to fundraisers that involve the selling of high-fat, high-calorie foods. We can also do better by eliminating sugary avored milk during lunch. Letting kids and parents get involved in creating school nutritional policies will help them be implemented at home as well. As parents, it is our job to be aware of what our kids are doing at school and to speak up for more physical activity and quality foods. I ask for your help in raising the bar in our public schools and supporting further nutritional and physical education policies that will prevent children from experiencing childhood obesity.

bership and/or leadership positions of religious student organizations. This practice excluded gay and lesbian students from participating in the student organizations. It was exciting to us to see a faith-based student organization inviting the campus to take a critical look at Iowa State’s student organization campus policies and how they might be affected by this court decision. The intent of the forum was to critically examine what we mean by non-discrimination, particularly related to policies. Our discussions across many tables ranged from how ISU policies may affect openness to differing ideas, student learning, personal growth and inclusiveness versus exclusiveness here at Iowa State. We applaud the Interfaith Council in their dedication to provide a venue to increase understanding and share different perspectives in a peaceful and respectful manner. In light of this experience, we encourage a continued dialogue regarding “NonDiscrimination: What does it mean?� to Iowa State. In order to achieve inclusivity and community we encourage the creation of an environment where our religious student organizations are open to all and provide all the opportunity to achieve their potential. Penny J. Rice, Director, Margaret Sloss Women’s Center, and Dan Rice, Student Academic Services, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences

Seasoned team loses seniors By Dan.Kassan iowastatedaily.com The American Collegiate Hockey Association tournament isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until next week. But coach Al Murdochâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; knowing his team wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be making that tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; considered last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central States Collegiate Hockey League tourney his and Iowa Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national championship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought our team played as good last weekend as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done all season,â&#x20AC;? said Murdoch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was real proud of our coaching staff and real proud of the players being ready to go.â&#x20AC;? Iowa State beat Indiana University 5-2 on Feb. 18, marking the milestone No. 1,000 victory for Murdoch. It ended up losing to eventual CSCHL tournament champion Ohio University, which blew out powerhouse Lindenwood University, 4-0. The Cyclones now have Northern

Iowa on their radar. The Panthers will roll into town for a two-game set that will drop the curtain on what has been a trying season for Murdoch and his staff. A tough schedule eventually came back to bite the Cyclones, losing 8 of
10 at one point this year. Wins in the second semester turned out to be too little, too late to make it into nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew exactly how it worked and the way it worked and we knew we had to be in the top 12, and in the fall semester, losses hurt us when it came right down to the wire,â&#x20AC;? Murdoch said, adding he would likely have a tough schedule next year. But come Friday night, the emphasis will be on a win and celebrating the ďŹ ve seniors who will leave the Cyclones following this season. For freshman Chris Cucullu, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough knowing his senior teammates wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be competing for the Murdoch Cup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deďŹ nitely disappointing,â&#x20AC;? said Cucullu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The seniors have been there the past three years, and rookies like myself wanted to go because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never been there before. We thought we couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve competed, but sometimes it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn out in your
favor.â&#x20AC;? Northern Iowa is another D-II opponent Iowa State should expect to obtain easy victories this weekend, as they have done all semester against lesser foes. But wins against lowly opponents pale in comparison to the thought that the season will end this weekend. Murdoch understands that, and has taken this opportunity for a teaching moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[I told them to] learn from the upperclassmen and particular the ďŹ ve seniors, who have been excellent role models,â&#x20AC;? Murdoch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, with Erik Hudson making the World University Games, people need to set their goals on that in the future. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll miss the seniors in the future, but we have 19-20 guys coming back.â&#x20AC;? Iowa State will conclude the 2010-2011 regular season beginning with Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at 8:30 p.m. at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

Bulloch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For four years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing the same thing every day for a couple of hours each day, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little emotional but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting through it.â&#x20AC;? Hudson is hoping to start a professional career after college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream of mine,â&#x20AC;? Hudson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I completed a dream already this year putting on a team USA jersey, but also, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to play pro hockey.â&#x20AC;? The Cyclones (23-17) have been at practice just like always working on a lot of fundamental things this week in preparation for UNI. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This will give us the mythical championship of Iowa,â&#x20AC;? Murdoch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We beat Iowa in December, and now [to] beat UNI, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll give us a championship,â&#x20AC;? Murdoch said. Senior Night is at 8:30 p.m. Friday and the ďŹ nal game of the season is at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Ames/ISU Ice Arena.

10,000 Hours Show
Band selected for volunteer concert By Frances.Myers iowastatedaily.com Students looking for ways to ďŹ ll up some free time doing something both fun and productive will ďŹ nd incentive to volunteer through the 10,000 Hours Show. The show is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;student-led outreach effort to recruit and recognize young volunteers who serve Story County nonproďŹ t organizations,â&#x20AC;? according to the 10,000 Hours Show website. The program serves as a way for ISU students to lend a hand doing volunteer work, with the incentive of a free concert for volunteering for at least 10 hours. This year the 10,000 Hours Show will hosting indie-rock band Paper Route with, local band Modern Day Satire opening for the show at 7 p.m. on April 9 at the Maintenance Shop. The 10,000 Hours Show began in 2004 at the University of Iowa and during the course of seven years, has spread across Iowa.
Since its beginning, the program has split into two chapters. One of the chapters is the 10,000 Hours Show of Central Iowa, run through Iowa State and Drake University. The other chapter is the 10,000 Hours Show of Eastern Iowa, run by the University of Iowa. Currently, more than 200 people within the Ames community have been volunteering their time for the organization this year, racking up more than 2,700 hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteering is important to me and sometimes it is difficult to ďŹ nd the time to go out and volunteer,â&#x20AC;? said Laura Coombs, senior in management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;10,000 Hours reminds students of upcoming volunteer opportunities; and seeing the number of hours students have volunteered is really awesome.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a passion for volunteering and saw the 10,000 Hours Show to be a great organization to continue my volunteering efforts with,â&#x20AC;? said Jennifer Vong, freshman in pre-business.
Being a freshman, this is Vongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst year in 10,000 Hours. A friend of hers participated last year and encouraged Vong to join. Vongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passion for volunteering gained her the position of outreach coordinator of the ISU chapter of the 10,000 Hours Show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I deal with getting volunteers at [Iowa State] and in the community involved and excited about 10,000 Hours,â&#x20AC;? Vong said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I recruit by making presentations as well as encouraging current volunteers to continue their work and reach their hours.â&#x20AC;? Vong likes being able to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make an impact by getting other students involved and make them realize volunteering is a meaningful and powerful way to feel a part of the Ames community.â&#x20AC;? Many students in this organization appreciate how easy it is for them to ďŹ nd volunteer activities to ďŹ ll in their hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the 10,000 Hour Show, it makes it so easy to ďŹ nd all kinds of volunteer opportunities right on their website,â&#x20AC;? said Luke Stephenson, junior

Some members choose to do their volunteer activities individually, while others choose to fulďŹ ll their 10 hours through

Still images from the video were printed and presented to staff in the residence halls when Hennings was identiďŹ ed, according to the report. Hennings was interviewed Monday, admitting to entering the room to steal underwear. He later showed police where he dropped the stolen underwear, which was located in a storage bin in the den on
the third ďŹ&#x201A;oor of Roberts Hall, where Hennings lives. The underwear matched the description of the stolen underwear the victim reported. Hennings is being accused of 2nd degree burglary, a class C felony. He is being held at Story County Jail with a bail set at $20,000. A preliminary hearing is set for 1 p.m. March 4 at Story County Courthouse.
